    My niece, BA cabin crew, reported that the BA couldn't get to the plane last night because "the police had barricaded the MTR". Interesting who they blamed.

    I always find it healthy to watch videos in context. Now I have seen the police ‘brutally attack innocents’ in full I have to ask. Why did those innocent people in black masks remain on the train when they had ample chance to leave it without trouble?

    I’m not condoning the measures used by police but previous videos just started from the point of baton wielding and not the 3 minutes that led up to it.

    Lots of people on the MTR Island Line at 6.30am to 6.45am, in contrast to the first general strike on Aug 5.

    Matthieu that’s because a line has been crossed from peaceful protest to civil disobedience, criminal acts and near anarchy (and yes I understand the meaning of that word).

    The day police stop upholding the law is the end and the day the troops take over. Also as far as I’m aware police have every right to ID people.

    If protestors want to escalate their behaviour they have every right to do so. If they then want to complain about the reaction of authorities then I’m afraid that’s where my sympathies finish.

    Disrupting the lives of people trying to fly in and out of this country benefits who exactly?

    7.38am, nothing's happening on the MTR.

    General Strike failed?

    I think the police stopped upholding the law a long time ago. Or is there a law that allows the police to use the triads, or do unnecessary strip searches, or fire at protesters heads.....

    Your sympathies also stopped weeks ago, probably about 14 weeks ago.
