Leisurely Scribbles II

Ooh????
I was just watching our news
So sad that rescued koala had to be put down. It made me sad.

 

yes they are often very vulnerable but there are those who are rescuing them all the time - I think we are winning?

 

That is good.
Sad about Clive James.

 

falling rocks was a bear. and one day he got lost in the woods.
but he had a lot of friends, who missed him very much,
so his friends put signs along the roads out in the woods,
that say "watch for falling rocks".

 

yes one of oz's great exports with germaine and barry and don't let's forget John Pilger who doesn't seem to get a mention these days!

 

"angels" we have heard while high,
love to tell us what to buy,
seldom tell us how or why.

 

the Hillsborough enquiry - well then who is responsible ?? - the fans themselves ?? the man who gave the order ??? who???

 

an uneasy calm in Hong Kong - Trump has muscled in with his support angering the Chinese, the young protesters are jubilant but there is thousands of dollars worth of damage ; arrests still being processed - so the beginning of progress or not??

 

HK update and demise! Trump has washed his hands of it and the rest of the world just watch and wait - but who knows what is happening behind the scenes throughout the embassy contacts throughout the world. But China will never give up - HK is China and in their opinion was stolen from them and then Taiwain is next and of course the south China Sea islands - watch this space and North Korea as well - now a capitalist focused country run as if communist - what a strange world we live in!!

nb: I still have friends in HK and they are not very optimistic at all about their futures - it could go at least two ways - China backs off from secret world pressure or just keeps persisting and finally gets its own way. It is at present attempting to sweeten the bitter pill with promises of covid 19 vaccines when it produces them for the rest of the globe - how kind!

 

NOW look what happened!!!!

 

I telephoned some chinese friends in HK last night and they exclaimed "don't worry about us everything is fine - if you don't break any laws it's the same old HK" - not really - a brave face I think? I can't see HK ever being the same - there are and have been red guard chinese soldiers stationed in HK for months and months now just waiting to pounce - the goose that laid the golden egg has been slaughtered

 

Three million make seek refuge in the UK.
It must be awful there.
I gather you have been following all that happened?
I can post links to our news.

 

no thanks we get full world wide news accounts daily that's how I saw the ridiculously crowded beach in bournemouth!

 

True but no further cases!

 

the question not yet answered is if 3 million tried to leave HK now on interim british passports could mainline china stop then ?

 

I wondered that.
All very worrying.

What are your views?

 

Apparently they already did - some of the Chinese were arrested on a 'plane at the airport heading to the uk t'other day.

 

Do you have a link Vlad?

 

No, Candy darlin' - it was just something I read on Huffington post t'other day.
