    Matthew Cheung: We may be wrong....

    Important enough as this might be a slight turning point...

    Seen on twitter, can someone find a full article that goes into this statement?

    in that broadcast above around 11.04 in English, he implies an inquiry is under consideration

    Thanks. Seems like all the usual suspects I follow on Twitter are at the airport.

    The reason the Police want to ban the Yuen Long march is that they need the manpower to mount a search for Lam Cheng who has gone into hiding and refuses to answer her phone – her last call, a whimpering slobber fest to her only Hong Kong friend, said that everyone was against her, but having only now read up on Liuzhi, she understands how badly she screwed up, however she refuses to lose face or take advice from people who know better so Number 2 is appearing in public
    EXCO considered quitting en masse except Broomhead who wants to replace Lam Cheng when Beijing finally fires her, and anyway Broomhead needs the money for doing SFA and appearing to be authoritarian
    The police have staked out locations where they think Lam Cheng may attempt to buy toilet paper under the cover of darkness

    Positioning himself in case Lam goes - Cheung would take over (as Acting CE at the least) and he could turn a page by withdrawing the bill, ordering an inquiry etc and present himself as a new face taking a new approach to address grievances etc.

    Indeed. I suspect a sword is being setup for the CE to fall on.

    Still waiting on a report of this press conference.

    I really can't see how Lam has any political capital left to govern for the rest of her term. She destroyed whatever capital she had left with her rejection to withdraw the bil formally. Even if Beijing refused her resignation, it may well be that Cheung is the one doing the real governing and Lam will be reduced to a mere figurehead.

    is she chained to a desk by Beijing or is it the fact she gets 500k a month from the job?
    is she clearing up her mess or just hiding and doing SFA
    any adequate politician in the west would have already resigned after firing her Justice monster and Secretary for Insecurity
    Her Govt is in rebellion and threatening strikes
    Wiser heads have signed petitions telling her to hold a commission of enquiry
    Is she really so arrogant she cannot see the clear writing on the Lennon wall
