Thank you, that's very nice to hear.
I was just trying to be supportive in a situation that is obviously getting harder.
Please remember the world is watching.
Stay safe and keep well.
 
Oh holy fuck!

Oh fucking Christ!

There are too fucking many crazy, fucked up, Nihilistic, Arab, East German, Stasi, watchmakers living in this tiny village.

How fucking many can there be in the Universe?

And yet, they all pile into my place for seven hours every Friday.

All of them!

All one of them!

Every. Fucking. Friday.

It's mental!

Seven. Fucking. Hours.

Again!


Anyway, he's gone now. I can finally sleep.


Good night peeps. I love you. Rest well.

Be nice to each other.

Keep thinking.

Blessings.

4:00am!

Bleurgh!


I blame the Arabs!


;)


Rest well.

You're superstar mate!

Just ask Picky.

Goodnight gentle UrbanTypes.

Tomorrow will bring new challenges.

I shall sleep with you all in my mind/heart.

Heh! Fucking Arabs!

Love is the truth.


Rest well peeps.

I've been trying to find a better report of this but, at least for now, this thin effort will have to suffice.

It seems it barely passes mention these days.

On Saturday 8th Jan 2022, twenty one inevitably predominately young people, were each sentenced to between 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 years in jail for rioting in July 2019.





Meanwhile, Edward Leung Tin-kei is due to be released on Wednesday 19th Jan 2022 after serving four years of a six year sentence for rioting during the "Fishball Revolution" in Feb 2016.

Edward has been a pivotal character in the democracy movement since the mid 2010's and an early advocate of "Localism".

He coined the slogan "LHK.ROOT".

He was one of the first candidates banned from standing in the LegCo elections (back in 2016). He would have won a seat.






The govt. has made it clear he will be closely monitored after release. It wouldn't surprise me if he emigrated.





A shitty and disorganised, yet still informative Wiki.




And here we are.

"Since Stand News and Citizen News closed down, at least six small and midsize online media have also ceased operations amid what many describe as the industrywide chilling effect."

Long-established Ming Pao have always been a middle-of-the-road, moderate, even mild, newspaper. And yet even this veteran of the media landscape is now being turned on by the vicious CCP-owned Ta Kung Po.

"China has appointed a former paramilitary chief, Peng Jingtang, as the new commander of the People Liberation Army’s (PLA) garrison in Hong Kong, state broadcaster CCTV reported late on Sunday citing the PLA spokesman.

Peng, who holds the rank of major general, was previously the deputy chief of staff of China’s paramilitary police force, the People’s Armed Police. His appointment was signed by Chinese President Xi Jinping, CCTV said.

According to the party-run Global Times, a nationalist tabloid, Peng was previously also chief of staff of the Armed Police Force in Xinjiang ... "




Oh look ... That nice Mr. Xi is sending a chief of the Paramilitary Police to run the PLA garrison in Hong Kong. I wonder what particular skills he will bring from his time in Xinjiang.

Eventually. When the US is unable to defend the West.

China is going to make the West pay.

The century of humiliation is going to come back to bite the West in the arse.
 
Just fucking hell really.
Is it inevitable that anyone trying to oppose the CCP will get crushed? Certainly doesn't seem like any Western government can/wants to do anything.
Fucking hell.
 
This is a good piece in The Conversation.


The comments are also instructive. "Samantha Maxwell", for example, is a very, very sophisticated CCP propagandist. Very credible and seemingly level headed. But if you read carefully, you can spot the typical mainlander's grammatical errors and they just can't help slipping in pure CCP themes (same words repeatedly used by Carrie Lam!) such as in bold (regarding the NSL):

"The national security laws prevents government foreign influence designed to bring chaos to the city. Many western countries have same laws. You think China isn’t being also targeted by western influence groups trying to turn the people against it?"

(But note the grammar throughout.)

Heh!


Passion is no ordinary word.






"It worked much better in a fantasy
Imagination's one thing that comes easy to me

'Cause this is nothing else if not unreal
When I pretend to touch you, you pretend to feel

Passion is no ordinary word
Passion is no ordinary word
Passion is no ordinary word
Ain't manufactured or just another sound
That you hear at night
At night

Ain't got no idols for the screen today
Although they make a lot of noises they got nothing to say
I try to look amazed but it's an act
The movie might be new but it's the same soundtrack

Passion is no ordinary word (I think I heard)
Passion is no ordinary word (I think, I think)
Passion is no ordinary word

Ain't manufactured or just another sound
That you hear at night
Say how it feels real useless ain't it
Wait until it bites right down inside you
The world is easy when you're just playing around with it
Everything's a thrill and every girl's a kill

And then it gets unreal and then you don't feel anything
You don't feel anything
You don't feel anything
An object of desire you don't desire to be

I bet the shop window dummies give in just as easily
I try to stop but have to make you drop down to the floor
Moaning in the darkness as we fake some more

Passion is no ordinary word (I think I heard)
Passion is no ordinary word (I tell you, baby)
Passion is no ordinary word

Ain't manufactured or just another sound
That you hearing

Passion is no ordinary word (I tell you too)
Passion is no ordinary word (I think, I think)
Passion is no ordinary word

Ain't manufactured or just another sound

That you hear at night

At night."





And yet Freedom is still, as ever, an elusive, fragile and rare glimpse into what the future could be.
