Haha, that one reminds me of the time the police reported a bee sting as an 'injury' caused during some protest or other.A copper got injured in a traffic accident? Well, I’m convinced, lock up ‘em for life I say. Let’s hope no copper gets his foot ran over by a tractor, the State will be handing out ten year stretches to Farmer Ted.
Based on what I see, I think (chinese)people's emotions about this are mixed. Starmer have taken decisive action, which we believe is the right thing to do. At the same time, we also feel a little relieved, because ordinary people in Britain, like us, do not like riots. We also feel anger. When a riot takes place in the UK or the US, politicians in Western countries will demand that order be restored as soon as possible and all criminals arrested. But if a riot happened to us, they would just say "human rights".Laughable that Starmer has raised the case of Jimmy Lai to the Chinese who, amongst other things, has been jailed for Twitter posts.
Starmer calls for strong UK-China relationship after meeting with Xi at G20
Starmer challenged President Xi over the detention of Jimmy Lai as he became first British PM to meet Chinese leader in more than half a decadewww.independent.co.uk
The Chinese would have laughed us out of town. We have no moral authority to complain about locking anyone up for speech crimes.
