    The Irony

    Exco member Regina Ip upstages new lawmakers by chanting slogans at Legco swearing-in | South China Morning Post

    The nasty vilification of Benny Tai continues. The government may disagree with his right to free speech but it is certainly putting a lot of effort into demonising this affable but in reality not so important lecturer.

    With the new focus on the district council levels it looks like a lot more people are going to be persecuted by the law. No doubt many of these deserve bringing to court but the equally nasty and often more violent 'blue ribbons' appear to be above the law in the eyes of the justice department.

    I bumped into Mr Ng in TST a few months ago. I do like his energy levels.
