Wow, why would people who hold British passports gather outside a British consulate to appeal to the British govt. who signed a legally binding international agreement that still applies to this city where the British passport holders live? https://twitter.com/BenjaminNorton/status/1168248677758115847

The true “support the workers” leftist position is to point out that Britain, being massively racist, invented a whole new type of British passport for Hongkongers, the BN(O). Because we were only British enough to produce value, not British enough to be allowed to flee the CCP.

Hong Kong is British!
So we’re British?
Of course!
So we get British passports?
Of course!
And we can use them to move to the UK after you hand us over to the CCP?
Uhhh...
Wow it’s great to be British
...so we made a new extra special passport for you

I’m saying, if you want to bash Britain for the many failings of the past and present, there are actual things to go after it for that don’t involve tinfoil hat conspiracies that suggest it cares about Hongkongers. A thing which contradicts the historical record.

Also, stop supporting cops you fucking dweeb.

Just gonna re-up this thread before the blue tick tankies awaken and start having a frenzied wank over... [checks notes] Britain trying to influence Hong Kong to influence Britain or whatever the fuck nonsense they wanna push to their gullible audience. https://twitter.com/araquelcarvalho/status/1173099616109121536?s=21

Bringing this thread back because the UK is talking about sorta kinda maybe making the BNO sorta kinda maybe less crappy, and it's the very definition of doing the least amount possible. https://twitter.com/hongkonghermit/status/1266031631074115584?s=21 https://twitter.com/hongkonghermit/status/1266031631074115584
