Hong Konger run food court restaurant in Birmingham shuts after being vandalized by Mainland Chinese co-renter, causing £40000 in damage. Motive alleged to be due to "cultural differences" and arguments over working space.

Racism or reverse racism, they are both unacceptable. There are also so many messages from UK people welcoming migrants, I'm touched. Inclusivity and diversity are crucial in today's world, its what makes it interesting.

As a HKBNO visa migrant, I am utterly ashamed of how a few of my fellow HKBNO migrants are saying they're better than other migrants. NO, YOU ARE NOT! We might've certain exemptions based on our colonial history & transnational repression. BUT, that doesn't mean u 4get UK is democratic. Cont'd

Will we see her defecting to Reform?

I prefer Ed's response to that of Labour.

Great to join the parliamentary event today on the BNO route and the threat of the 10-year settlement change. Huge thanks to @luketaylorld.bsky.social , EmilyDarlingtonMP & Carmen Lau from HKDC for hosting. I was proud to share our community's concerns with Cllr AndyNg and fellow activists.

I watched a documentary once, about one of the European Queens walking out of the Palace without security detail/s, cigarette in hand, heading to an open market to buy groceries. Could have been done just for the 📷 🎥 cameras but, it was so refreshing.

CCP propagandists will never tell you the truth about Hong Kong, the unaffordable housing, the income inequality, the coffin homes, and the 12 hour shifts, 6 days a week that the working class pull to put a roof over their heads. Hong Kong has gotten worse under CCP rule.

In summary. According to reports, Sir Mo Farah was brought into UK illegally. Vs Eileen Gu, Olympic skier born in US, trained in US, (father is American, Google Eileen Gu) turned round to represent China during Winter Olympics THEN returned to US. Tell me what you make of this, Reform supporters?

It does not mean that just because we, a small group of migrants in a certain category, are exempt from certain new migration policies-to-be that I don't need to care or be told it doesn't matter...cont'd

One of my more potentially controversial takes is that starlink must be kept on in Myanmar. Cause it is also used by the resistance & civilians who have no other way of contacting the outside world. Support the resistance to overthrow the Junta & clean out the scam centres #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

Chinese efforts to undermine our national security were live as recently as last week. This revelation must be the final nail in the coffin for super-embassy in the heart of London. The Government must stand up to China and refuse to allow the CCP to expand its spying network in Britain.

3/6 wins in Surrey so far!

Keir Starmer & Labour is fixated on Jimmy Lai's case when anyone talks about HongKong, knowing there is little they can do. He refused to say anything else in support of the HKBNO visa holders in UK. He didn't answer Daisy Cooper's question in PMQ today. Thank you, Daisy for bringing it up.

To fear the foe, since fear oppresseth strength, gives in your weakness strength unto your foe" Keir is shy...ing from calling China a foe

Most HKBNO holders are Hong Kongers who happens to be ethnically Chinese. Most are born in the British colony of Hong Kong. Hong Kong is the only British colony which was handed to China, and did not gained independence.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Foot in mouth

A feeling of utter satisfaction I am using my best skills to contribute in the by elections in Surrey. It was quite an internal struggle knocking on a Mainland Chinese family's door. However, I managed to have a good chat with them in Mandarin. Rusty, seldom used Mandarin.

In a rare win in Thai court 3 activists have successfully argued that their actions did not count as royal defamation & have been acquitted. Court said that police evidence was insufficient & that simply taking part in protests could not be used as evidence of guilt in this case. A good day.

I did my first ever Mandarin canvassing in Staines today. @spelthornelibdems.bsky.social

Did you say Knobble piece price for Trump?

Heading to Staines to help canvass to the HK community for our Lib Dem candidate, Laura Barker. Having my morning coffee in the interim.

www.gov.uk/government/n.... So, that accounts for the China super embassy and maybe the spy incident being dismissed? Can we safely say that Labour govt is intimate with them?
