When the Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor talked about the tide of immigration in Hong Kong, he once said, “It is so bleak to talk about old people,” and this has become a hot topic on the Internet. Former Chief Executive Liang Zhenying also has doubts about the life of Yiying. Starting yesterday, he posted six posts on FB, criticizing the poor life in the UK, asking: “Are there any good news for British people?”
After the opening of the BN(O) visa, Hong Kong people have moved to the UK. In the first five months, nearly 65,000 have applied. Social trends in the UK, such as police officers being imprisoned for rape and murder for life, shortage of manpower for many types of work, etc., are also concerned by many Hong Kong people, including former Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying, who posted all-day posts yesterday (2nd) related to the UK.
Liang Zhenying: British people’s distrust of the police is a “deep-level problem”
First of all, he was concerned about the kidnapping, rape, and murder of Sarah Everard, a London woman on her way home. Police Constable Wayne Couzens admitted that she was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder, comparing it to the case of Wu Aoxue, a CUHK student. Wu Zeng suffered police sexual violence after he was arrested on 8.31 in 2019, including being slapped on the chest by a male police officer. Liang Zhenying said that the case “proved that there was nothing wrong.” Wu later “disappeared” and asked “Wu Aoxue once said that she would study in the UK. Is she in the UK?”
Afterwards, Liang Zhenying posted again, saying that the Everard incident “exposed the deep-seated problems of the British police force for a long time, including the extreme distrust of the public in the police.” “Hong Kong people who once slandered the Hong Kong police, will they reflect after they move to the UK?”
Leung Chun-ying is also concerned about the supply chain in the UK. He talked about the shortage of goods in supermarkets and gas stations. He said, “Can Luo Guancong and others report to the people of Hong Kong about their quality life under the British democratic system?”
In addition to British news, Leung Chun-ying also pays attention to the protest activities of Hong Kong people who emigrated to Britain. Yesterday, on the National Day of the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong people held a rally in Manchester during which some people burned the national flag. The Hong Kong organization “Manchester Real Hong Kong Association” posted on FB that someone “set fire everywhere” and condemned it. Liang Zhenying pointed out, “If the scale expands, let’s see how the British government responds.” He also named Abingo, one of the promoters of the Manchester rally, referring to him as a “little boss,” and questioned his poor English.
In addition, Liang Zhenying is also concerned about the British Minister of Health’s request for vaccinations for employees of elderly homes, but did not comment specifically.
In response to the Evlad case, the Police Department appeals to citizens: When stopped by a lone plainclothes policeman, they should ask about their motives
On the same day, regarding the kidnapping, rape, and murder of Evlad, the Chief of the Police Service in London, Cressida Dick, stated that the police “precious trust was hurt”. The Secretary of State for Crime and Police (Kit Malthouse) pointed out that the police department is aware of the impact of this case on the police. “The police must rebuild their confidence, especially in London.”
The National Police Agency urges citizens, if they are stopped by a lone plainclothes police officer, they can request to talk to the police radio communication operator to confirm that the other party is a real police officer and the action is legal. The public should also question the police officers for the reason for interception, and the police officers should be mentally prepared to answer more questions from the public.
As for supply chain issues, there is a shortage of nearly 100,000 truck drivers in the UK. Earlier, “Stance News” asked Anthony, a Hong Kong native who runs the FB page “British Tractor”, to explain the incident. He said that he knows that some companies offer drivers with a monthly salary of HK$50,000, although this is not the starting salary point. He also revealed that many Hong Kong people are interested in their work, and now they receive 3 to 40 private inquiries every day, jokingly saying that they “do not answer.”
Prime Minister Johnson has announced a series of policies earlier, including arranging for the British army to learn to drive the tractor and start delivering fuel on Monday. In addition, the local poultry industry pointed out that due to lack of slaughter personnel, as many as 120,000 pigs may have to be destroyed. The British government said it will issue temporary visas to 5,500 foreign poultry industry workers, allowing them to work in the UK from the end of October to the end of December.
