A privilege to speak just now at the protest outside @10DowningStreet for #HongKongers and against the appalling violence by #CCP so-called “diplomats” in #Manchester a week ago
I returned from wedding of a dear friend and colleague in Devon and went directly to this protest 👇

"Everyone of my successors as Chief Executive of Hong Kong had a British passport ... and the ones who are being locked up don't"
Lord Patten makes the case for extending #BNO rights to young #HongKongers

This morning @MPIainDS tabled a second Urgent Question in two days on the attack by Chinese Consulate officials in Manchester on #HongKongers, and urged @FCDOGovUK to declare the Consul-General and any Consulate officials involved "persona non grata" and expel them "forthwith".

Do not go gentle into that good night
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

#HongKongers would never forget 7.21. Hundreds of triads and mafia beat citizens indiscriminately on Yuen Long Station while the #HongKongPolice did not show up for hours.
It happened on his 17th birthday, a "full-time protestor"...

Such an amazing privilege to be with #HongKongers last night singing #GloryToHongKong at @RoOT_film UK premiere.
So incredibly moving.
Credit to Andrew Khoo for capturing the moment on video.

It is not new that #HongKong has already turned into a #policestate but asking innocent civilians to kneel and be obedient?
It is unacceptable. Hong Kong is now being invaded and colonised, #HongKongers are alienated.
Please #StandWithHongKong and fight against #Chinazi

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.

Essential reading.
This is your 1936 moment @iocmedia
If you think this will blow over you grossly underestimate the resilience and determination of #Uyghurs #HongKongers and other peoples oppressed by this brutal regime. twitter.com/BethanyAllenEb…

It is a tragic sign of the deteriorating human rights situation in #HK that nearly 10,000 #HongKongers applied for Canada's Young Talent's Work Visa & a further 5,000 applied to study in Canada last year. scmp.com/news/hong-kong…

With #HongKongers to protest the presence of HK Finance Secretary Christopher Hui.
You’re not welcome here. Go away. And while you’re at it, release the 2.2bn of BNO pensions you’re withholding.

Tomorrow, across the UK, #HongKongers and friends of #HongKong will protest and march against the outrageous violence by #China's #CCP Consul-General and his thuggish diplomats in #Manchester last Sunday.
I'll be speaking at the protest outside @10DowningStreet
Join us.

#HongKongers: Today @hk_watch will launch our new report on #PressFreedom in #HongKong - In the Firing Line.
Here's a brief message for you from me about it.

We’re excited to announce a one day parliamentary workshop for #BNO #HongKongers interested in learning more about 🇬🇧 politics on Thurs 27 Oct & the soft launch of our cross-party parliamentary internship programme for January 2023.

Quoted in this. If @FCDOGovUK @GOVUK won’t protect their own citizens - even MPs - from Beijing’s constant harassment, safe bet they are they doing nothing to help #Uyghurs and #HongKongers who are suffering immeasurably worse.

Asia Rugby should not apologise (though I love the explanation! :) )
They should be proud of doing the right thing for #HongKong and #HongKongers

It is vital that we do everything possible to help #HongKongers protect the Cantonese language, as #CCP tries to erode #HongKong identity within #HK and as more #HKers move into exile

#HongKong's new #CCP zombie, quisling, puppet goons and thugs
Who elected them?
Err, that's right, not #HongKongers. They were "selected" by Beijing, to obey #XiJinping's commands
A grim sight.
