Just as we knew they would. HK has never been a democracy. To live there was to accept that fact- as well as the multiple benefits.

Yeah that was such a waste of time all that. HK was run like a company really. There is a great documentary on the final months of British rule, I am sure you have watched it.

Well, no actually (gotta linky?). But I lived it! Damn, those were the days.

Cheers, I will watch it- but sorry, no green ammo right now.
