CY Leung is a lovely chap just what we need. I saw him on foot at the flower market choosing and buying flowers amongst the plebs. He had such passion and zest, sniffing each bloom carefully for scent, squishing it to make sure it was fresh and then inspecting for length of stem. Laying each one aside gently that met his high standards for quality.
We cant help that Henry Tang is a spent bloom, the golden boy who was promised the job but came unstuck on a very messy private life, its not just room for booze in his illegal wine cellar but illegitimate children too that need hiding. That just sticks in throat doesn't it, I mean imagine pretending your own flesh and blood doesn't exist!
In this time of Peoples Springs the people for the first time are being listened too something which poor withered Henry didn't reckon on.
I saw him too but in the lift of Festival Walk shopping mall, dressed in his best casuals looking very smug in the company of two chatty young woman, this gay abandon was of course before the election process. I wonder why he wasn't more careful? Does he honestly think Hong Kong is a custard tart waiting to be divided up amongst himself and his greedy property tycoon friends, no resistance at all?
And now Beijing has OK'd Albert Ho, goodness me the lame duck candidate the one Henry was too proud to even consider insulting, this must be causing much salivating in furry, not too soon either.
The most appalling thing of all is that Henry Tang didn't even reckon on a modicum of democracy even within this small circle election.
Well done Beijing for toying so brilliantly with the expectations of Hong Kong's rich ruling classes, lets hope it has lasting consequences and this monopoly and power of a few tycoons is abolished for ever.
