I was sat with 2 other colleagues today at one point, and one of them asked the other what this story is about as he hasn't been following the news lately. The latter, being a fanatical umbrella movement guy, said it was the family who is ill and only the daughter that is fine. At this point I wanted to desperately to smack him, as he is obviously ignorant to mental illness, and is just spewing his political venom.
Then he proceeds to put on a radio show that's also pro-umbrella movement. I'm not sure why any sane person would listen to them. It was constant swearing and they were picking out bits of CY's story and exaggerating.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but CY mentioned that living where they are now is not suitable for his daughter with mental illness, as in being in the spotlight, having constant guard, etc. but the broadcasters take on it was how ridiculous that sounds, complaining about living in this grand house in an upper class area, what if they were living in the more poor areas?!? And they were saying it's another way for CY to say that 'hey it's my daughter that's fucked up, not me", plus added abusive venom contained obscenities.
