Best understood, Labour's attack on juries, as a further lurch towards authoritarianism. Who, now, will stand in the way of a State that wants to imprison its opponents?

Was trying to work out in which way Shabana Mahmood, an otherwise pretty unremarkable politician, could possibly be described as a "luminous golden star" who "dazzles like a blue-white supernova" and then I realised, its simply a willingness to be a bit more cruel to immigrants

Hong Kong was fought for by the British government and through the hard work of many migrants to HK and their descendants. Hk became one of the fastest growing economy in the world.
Yes, life wasn't a bed or roses, it never is. But, it worked. HK consisted of many migrants, too.

One student came in late and heard me teaching the class about north east south west.
He asked if I was teaching them how to play mahjong in English.
I think I should have a mahjong session with them in English. 🤣🤣🤣

I struggled to find the right word in Cantonese to describe a rugby scrum. Brought a lot of laughter amongst my HK migrant students.
One joked how did I become a journalist with the lack of vocabulary. I quipped - that's why I was an English language journalist and not a Cantonese/Chinese one. 🤣🤣

Many HKBN(O) migrants in their 50s moved here & bought properties outright with cash. They don't have a salary as they opted for early retirement. I'm one of them.
However, I started doing community work, as an English teacher (volunteer) to migrants & is a a Parish & Borough Councillor.

There are still questions regarding the Hong Kong British National (Overseas) visa route. It's very simple, home secretary, leave it as it is. No retrospective changes/moving through goal post/s.
Most HKers moved lock, stock & barrel to UK.

Racism or reverse racism, they are both unacceptable. There are also so many messages from UK people welcoming migrants, I'm touched.
Inclusivity and diversity are crucial in today's world, its what makes it interesting.

Jonn's political ranting is always good: go for that and stay for the bits about my favourite shark 🖤🦈
"The idea of deporting people with settled status is disgusting, and anyone proposing it should be immediately drummed out of polite society. Breaking promises made in good faith to our friends and neighbours is racist, extremist and immoral."
I'm basically shouting at the sky here, but still.

It’s racist, it’s extremist and it’s immoral
The right is still calling for deportations, and the government is still being cowardly about it. Also: London’s first green belt; some notes on a shark; and some news, on my next book.
