    Enough is mother f'ing enough!

    What do these clowns expect the UK to do? Wave their crutches angrily in the direction of China? The f'ers cannot even protect the diginities of their own active diplomats, let alone be bothered with an ex-colony!

    Waste of time and more importantly waste of money funding dead tree media in the UK.

    The price of Brexit: UK becomes a doormat where everyone can step on, be it US, China, EU or Russia.

    either they don't have a clue that UK is completely f;ked up at the moment or they hope to capitalize on the chaos in the UK. I do agree a waste of dead trees.

    Roots of youth anger:

    Hong Kong has also set world records in home prices and has a glaring income gap. In 2016, it had a Gini coefficient – a measure of inequality – of 0.539, which Oxfam said was the highest in 45 years.

    “Some young people really see no future in Hong Kong,” said Naomi Ho Sze-wai, a 25-year-old social worker and organiser at the group Youth Policy Advocator.

    But Education University chair professor Stephen Chiu Wing-kai, who has been researching on the city’s youth, warned the roots of young people’s unhappiness should not be traced solely to the lack of economic empowerment as their disenfranchisement was on so many levels.

    Pro-establishment politicians, he said, had been labelling the young participants of the 2014 Occupy Central movement as losers with no future. “The young people’s resentment … does not stem from the anxiety over their personal lives but more from their pursuit of universal values and their distrust of the local and central government,” Chiu wrote in a recent Chinese newspaper commentary, citing his previous research.

    It's plain as day the government has not truly listened to the youth. Now the question is, what will be deemed sufficient measures for the government to deemed sincerely listening to young people?

    I am all for peaceful protest but this is just playing to the media. The plan has always been to tax the police enough to elicit a heavy handed response and then say aha you see!
