I've spent a lot of my adult life rallying against racism and discrimination. I seemingly spend equal amounts of time trying to get people to understand that much of what is called 'casual racism' is nothing of the sort.
I suppose I stop my Aussie friends causing me Pommie, French using the term 'rostbif' (how dare we call them 'frogs') and I should get the Brisbane customs lady who likes to joke about me bringing the weather with me every time for stereo-typing.
I don’t think HT give a flying quarter of duck what you think.

I loved the way Nicon (Nixon!!!) tried to cosy up to China to create a new market for American tat. The Chinese think we are a bunch of weak tossers. They don't even feel the need to dick around with spy games, à la Putin. They just do what they want.
Boris and chums just demonstrate their pathetic naivety with antics like the telecoms deal and then the knicker wetting retreat.
We have a cast iron deal to protect the Hong Kong populace and the Chinese are marching all over it. What will we do about that? Jolly well nothing, that's what. I doubt Boris even knows what the deal is. The clueless dilettante oaf.
What do you suggest we do?

Boris is doing something about it.he has offered UK citizenship to Hong Kong residents.this is actually an excellent strategy.china will lose a hell of a lot of very clever,highly trained and very rich people and their loss will be our gain at a time when our economy will probably need a few entrepreneurs,investors and tech savvy innovators.

Not forgetting his brother: Mao Ze Dunk
Has what’s going on in Hong Kong completely passed you by?
Britain has a conscience over the shit it left one of it's former colonies in ? That will be a first.

A somewhat interesting interpretation of China ripping up the Sino-British Joint Declaration.
Didn't see Britain sending any "Task Force" half way round the World like they did when another weaker Nation did similar.
We seem selective in that regard. Only physically fight those you perceive weaker.
Anyhow arguments with too many people seems to have turned my own views round 180 degrees.
I am advocating staying out of other countries politics. Essentially we have been pressured getting into this by the US.
