Hong Kong Phooey

We had this about Iran some years ago, too. Teenage and scarcely older street protesters became heroes to people in the British media who would have despised them at home, who indeed who regularly did so.

Telegraph types, take note. Business in Hong Kong is ferociously pro-Beijing. Well, of course it is. And people who were barely or not born when colonial rule ended are not motivated by a desire to bring it back.

Then again, that was so unloved at the time that they might be the only people who could possibly wish to see it restored. But they don't. That is not at all what this is about.

People in Hong Kong either remember, or have been told, what your beloved Thatcher did to them. Telegraph types, take note.
