    "Hong Kong pro-democracy tycoon Jimmy Lai gets 20 years' jail" - BBC

    What is a pro-democracy tycoon?

    And isn't it a bit rich for the UK to be jailing people for saying they support Palestine while pretending they care about press freedom?

    At some point, you have to reconcile what that means when you take both positions

      @ekis the Hong Kong protests were suppressed using tactics more similar to those used by the Metropolitan Police of London in 1980s rather than mainland China (even if Beijing did of course control the operation) - and that is no coincidence whatsoever, but the baggage of colonialism...
