Ridiculous little man.
The only "thieves" in #HongKong are those who stole the city's freedoms, democracy and autonomy, the "people who pretend" to govern - like you, #JohnLee, #CarrieLam and your mendacious #CCP quisling regime. twitter.com/hkfp/status/15…

But what are #Australian cops doing fining @DrewPavlou for holding a blank piece of paper? Ridiculous. twitter.com/DrewPavlou/sta…
