"#China’s rewriting of history is part of a campaign to deny Britain’s part in #HongKong’s story, undermine the pro-democracy movement ... & implant the idea that the place has always ... been part of China"

Absolutely thrilled to receive a review copy of The #HongKong Diaries by the Last Governor, & @hk_watch Patron, Lord Patten.
I profoundly support his message on the back cover of the book, that #HK's #FightForFreedom is our fight
I look forward to reading & reviewing it soon

Three years ago in #HongKong. On June 16th, 2019, 2 million HongKongers took to the streets.
Time-lapse of 2 million marchers in a city with a population of 7 million. This means 2/7 of the entire Hong Kong population came out that day to protest.

With Jim Wong and my favourite lady, at the exhibition of #HongKong protest art, photographs and film footage in Bethnal Green.

Just 3 years ago, on 6/12, 3 days after a million person march in #HongKong, the HK govt started to use brute force to end protests, firing 150 rounds of tear gas (which seemed a lot back then), and labeling protesters as ‘rioters’
612 is the day when HongKongers finally woke up

#HongKongers:
As we approach #612, I have written this message for you, in my own handwriting, from my own ❤️, from the depths of my spirit, and just for you.
#HongKong was once my own home.
I unite with you today, and always.

A deeply moving article about #HongKongers building new lives in UK.
I often think that while I can no longer go to #HongKong, Hong Kong has come to me.
