為什麼要平反六四? 因為一些餐廳當它作節日的主題套餐招徠客人!

Why do we redress June 4th?  It is because some restaurants treat it as a festive theme package to attract customers!

為什麼要平反六四? 因為有人顛倒事非, 李鵬對六四一直是用「動亂」一詞，認為學生的遊行是文化大革命之後, 另一次資本主義要顛覆社會主義的活動。 Why do we redress June 4th?  It is because Li Peng, in his book 'Diary of June 4th', has been using the term "turmoil" and that the procession of students was the activity of capitalism to subvert the socialist movement in China after the "Cultural Revolution". Read his book link: http://www.duping.net/XHC/show.php?bbs=11&post=1070482

中國留學生看英國 Britain in the eyes of a Chinese student

在英女皇鑽禧, 讓我們談談英國文化吧! 以下根據英國留學微博，摘錄一位到英國快兩年的中國留學生所作的心得寫作，藉此讓讀者了解英國的生活與文化, 給那些即將來英國的留學生參考，其中大部份與我的觀感都是一樣！

這裡並不是大家想像的到處是燈紅酒綠、遍地黃金的大都市，有時候你甚至覺得這是農村。之所以他是發達國家，是因為這裡穩定的社會秩序，和諧的社會情緒(不是政府的強制干預而和諧)。如果把一個國家比作一輛車，這真的是一部運行優良的跑車。
在這裡，你做很多事情都需要打電話預定，比如你去剪頭髮，去看醫生。
在這裡，一頓標準的會議餐不是山珍海味，大吃大喝，簡單的幾片三明治和果汁，紅茶，咖啡或者水。

在這裡，坐公車不需要排隊，因為大家都謙讓地讓彼此先上。
在這裡，一棟普通2層小樓可能只需要不到100萬人民幣，如果你非要它變成童話裡的小別墅，可能200萬甚至更多，但是非豪宅(被稱為palace)決不會貴過400萬(除倫敦外)，但是平均月薪有2000鎊左右。

在這裡，如果你的宗教信仰或者種族被歧視，你是可以報警的，除非你願意忍氣吞聲。
在這裡，希望大不列顛本土人以外都離開英國的政黨獲得不到任何的支持率，就算有也小到可以忽略。
在這裡，大部份人開的是外形酷似QQ的小排量車，減低油耗，減低排放，生活環境第一。
在這裡，50鎊(合約500人民幣)以上的東西是很貴的。
在這裡，強制別人做不願意的事情是很粗魯的。
在這裡，夜生活是很單調的，大部份英國人去的只有酒吧，少量富人也去賭場。
在這裡，晚上7點以後，幾乎看不到開業的商店。
在這裡，國家首相只是一份很重要，薪水相對略高的職業。

在這裡，工作不努力的人大都人際不太好，因為工作態度無法被認同。
在這裡，10鎊以上的禮物會被認為圖謀不軌，有賄賂嫌疑，我送給導師的禮物是一雙價格3.8鎊的筷子，並附上購物小單，導師還是覺得禮物有點重。
在這裡，學術嚴謹到本科生的畢業論文都不允許有雷同，專門的軟件檢查，若有10%以上雷同一律掛掉。
在這裡，你可以當面對你的老師說，你講的都是rubbish，不過請附上一個讓他信服的理由。
在這裡，科學真理高於一切權威。
在這裡，法律不給任何人特殊待遇。
在這裡，很少很少乞丐，只有幸福的街頭藝人。

在這裡，很多科學的前提是環保，不是利益。

In the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, let us talk about the culture of England. In the UK Study Microblog, there is an excerpt of a piece of writing about his two years' experience in the UK by a Chinese student allowing readers to understand its life and culture. This throws some ideas to those who are about to study in the UK.

This is not a place where we imagine is full of debauchery, a land of gold metropolis and sometimes you will even think it is a rural country.  The reason why England is a developed country because it has a stable social order and harmony (not the government's mandatory intervention and harmonization). If a country compared to a car, England really is an excellent sports car. 
Here, you need to make appointments for a lot of things, for example, when you go to a haircut or see a doctor.
Here, the standard meeting meal for eating and drinking is a few slices of sandwich and fruit juice, tea, coffee or water.
Here, if you engage in a research and need to buy a software, you will require a detailed report ranging from dozens of pages to as many as hundreds of pages, and should be approved by the head of department for your purchase.
Here, we do not need to line up for the bus, because we all let each other to get on politely.
Here, an ordinary two-storey building may only need less than RMB one million. If you have to turn it into a fairy-tale cottage, it may be RMB 2 million or more; but non-luxury will never be over RMB 4 million (except for London) whilst the average monthly salary of about £ 2,000.
Here, most people buy a used car, unless you have a good career and has worked for many years.
Here, many people are renting rather than buying a house.
Here, you can drink water directly from the tap.
Here, you can always find a soccer field within 500 m radius of where you live.
Here, it is a luxury to spend RMB300 to cut hair.
Here, your boss may be wearing a suit or a pair of sneakers, carrying a bag and riding a bike to work instead of a sparkling eye-catching large Mercedes-Benz.
Here, it is not worthy to show off how much money you have but worthy that how happy you are.
Here, there is no charge for motorway, that is, when you drive from Edinburgh to London, it could cost just petrol money.
Here, no one will praise you if you come to work when you are sick, because your boss would say that how can I trust you if you do not even cherish yourself.
Here, you will feel ashamed if you forget to turn off the lights or tap, leave some resources to your future generations.
Here, the disabled in wheel-chairs and ordinary people should enjoy the same blue sky, green space and fresh air, the world belongs to everyone.
Here, if your religious beliefs or ethnic traditions are discriminated, you can call the police, unless you are willing to swallow.
Here, those political parties would not obtain any support if they want foreigners to leave the United Kingdom, even if there are small enough to be ignored.
Here, most people like cars shaped like the QQ, reducing fuel consumption and emission, considering the living environment first.
Here, something more than £ 50 is very expensive here.
Here, forcing other people to do what they do not want to do is very rude.
Here, the nightlife is very monotonous, the majority of British people go only to pubs, a small amount of the rich go to casinos.  After 19:00, you can barely see any stores opening.
Here, the Prime Minister is only a very important, slightly high pay career.
Here, before the law, all things are equal.
Here, many people in the UK very much hope that you learn your native language.
Here, students study very hard, from undergraduate to PhD, unless you go to a university at the end of the university list.
Here, people with no integrity are despicable.
Here, people who do not work hard are not sociable because their attitude can not be recognized.
Here, the gift of more than 10 pounds will be considered as suspicious bribery,  and so I gave my mentor one pair of chopsticks cost £3.8, but he still thought it was a bit heavy.
Here, the undergraduate thesis are not allowed to be identical, they have special software to check; and if two thesis are more than 10% identical, they will be disqualified.
Here, you can say to your teacher that he or she is talking rubbish, but please give a reason to convince him or her.
Here, the scientific truth is above all authority.
Here, the law does not give anyone special privilege.
Here, there are very little beggars but only happiness buskers.
Here, forgiveness is always greater than hatred.
Here, the non-adult to buy alcohol and tobacco is an offense of his or her guardian.
Here, you never expect to see a luxury wedding convoy.
Here, bicycles are second-handed, including my teacher's bike.
Here, it is illegal to catch and kill animals.
Here, a two-storey small house may have to be built for a year, but it will definitely last for a hundred years.
Here, an ordinary book costs you dozens of pounds and if you sell your book to someone else, we can cut less trees.
Here, the majority of daily necessities is not expensive.
Here, environmental protection is most important thing in the field of science but not making profits.
Here, you can address him by the name of your mentor.
Here, the sell-by date of food is really very short.
Here, no need to worry about fakes, but those cheap are certainly not good goods.
Here, cooperation is a habit but not a method.
Here, there are century-old buildings everywhere but not of heritage.
Here, the significance of working to many people is to make life worthwhile rather than making more money.

歐洲歌唱詠大賽 Eurovision Song Contest

昨晚夜, 像全球1.25億人一般, 我整個人沈醉於甜美歌聲中, 那就是歐洲歌詠大賽!
Last night, like the 125 million people all over the world, I was immersed in the beautiful singing of Eurovision Song Contest 2012!

瑞典歌手洛琳在阿賽拜彊首都巴庫舉行的第五十七屆歐洲歌詠大賽得到冠軍Swedish singer Caroline won the title in Baku of Azerbaijan with 'Euphoria' meaning power of enduring:-

'We're going up, up, up,up...An everlasting piece of art...Forever till the end of eternity'

俄羅斯派出身著傳統服飾，六嬤嬤唱民族歌謠的「布拉諾沃阿嬤」參賽得第二名
Russia sent six mothers singing national songs, "Bradley Novo grandmother" came second

                 大會賽果是由各地的民眾用電話投票, 來自賽爾維亞的歌手則得第三名 
             Results were voted by the people around the world and the Serbian singer came third

      英國72歲歌手Engelbert Humperdinck唱'Love will set you free', 可惜得倒數第二名
    72-year-old singer from England sang beautifully but unfortunately was the second to last


歐洲歌詠大賽的傳統是: 凡勝出的那個歌手的國家必定是下屆的主辦國! 上屆的冠軍是阿賽拜彊的歌手, 所以今屆歌詠大賽是在阿賽拜彊舉行! 令人遺憾的是, 人權監督團體表示, 亞塞拜彊政府仍然打壓持不同政見者、操縱選舉、剝奪私有財產, 批評政府的記者常被毆打、勒索、甚至被拘禁, 讓原本歡欣的比賽蒙上了陰影。 另外方面，歐債餘波盪漾, 希臘及其他國家有機會離開歐元區, 此次歌詠大賽是有特殊意義的紀念價值！

The tradition of European Singing Contest is that the country of the singer won must be the host next year. The champion of last contest was Azerbaijani and so this year the contest was held in Azerbaijan. Regrettably, human rights monitoring groups said that the Azerbaijani government is still suppressing dissidents, rigged elections, deprived of private property.  Correspondents who criticized the government were always assaulted, extorted, or detented, and so the real joy of the contest was overshadowed by super-power politics. On the other hand, the aftermath of the waves of Eurozone crisis, Greece might leave Euro and this singing contest had a commemorable sense of Eurozone unity.

向馬總統進言 Let me talk to President Ma

5月19日台北市舉行大規模示威，抗議活動將持續到5月20日，是台灣總統馬英九宣誓連任就職日！群眾表達反對油電漲價，瘦肉精及進口美國牛肉，主要是撤回〔一國兩區〕的說法！針對馬英九在5.20就職演說中提出[九二共識], [一國兩區]的主張, 說這些是由前總統李登輝開始, 李登輝立即在臉書回應,  痛批領導人曲解和不懂歷史, 不知帶台灣到何處?

Taipei was holding a large-scale demonstration on May 19 and it will continue until today when President Ma Ying-Jeou swearing for his second-term.  The protesters expressed their anger towards the rise of petrol and electricity prices, pork additives, import of American beef, and above all is Ma's statement of 'One country, two regions'!  Ma's inauguration speech said that it was the former president Lee Teng Hui's idea to advocate the '1992 Consensus' and 'One country, two regions' and Lee immediately criticized Ma on Facebook that he was ignorant and twisted history and did not know where he led Taiwan? 

以前每當我和另一半談及台灣應否獨立時, 我必與他爭辯說, "為何一個國家要分裂成兩岸?" 但在3月25日香港特首選舉日後, 我改變立場, 因看清楚亞爺的真面目(中共政府被香港人稱為[亞爺])! ; 中聯辦對香港事務的干預, 小圈子選舉的不良後果在3.25特首選舉中展露無遺! 台灣今天的民主得來不易, 是全民醒悟的成果! 馬總統, 請看香港現時的狀況, [一國兩制]是個大謊言! 容我對你說, "不要將台灣的自由雙手奉上給亞爺啊"! 香港何時能夠'全民醒悟'!?

反拉布臨記收300元是數十萬元製作, 如看守陳光誠的每人每日100元共6000萬RMB維穩費

Each protester of the Anti-filibustering Demonstration was paid $300 for a total of few hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars like those watching the blind activist Chen Guang Cheng receiving $100 per day for a total of 60 million RMB Stability Maintenance Fees

                                       立法會主席曾鈺成可能飽受黑材料壓力而忽然中止拉布
Legislative Council's Chairman Tsang stopped filibustering might be due to blackmail

Whenever we discussed about the independence of Taiwan, I would argue with my husband "Why should a country be splitted into two states?". However, since 3.25 (Hong Kong Chief Executive Election Day), I have changed my attitude as I could see clearly the mentality of Grandfather (the people of Hong Kong give Chinese Communist Party the nickname 'Grandfather').  The China's Liaison Office has intervened actively in the affairs of Hong Kong and the adverse consequences of the small circle election has revealed on Hong Kong Chief Execution Election.  Democracy in Taiwan is not easy to come, which is the result of full awakening of its people! Let me say to President Ma, "Please watch the situation of Hong Kong, 'One country, two systems' is a big lie! Do not sacrifice the freedom of Taiwan to China"! By the way, when shall be the full awakening of HK people!?

正如大陸八0後作家韓寒日前首度訪台灣, 在博客刊出「太平洋的風」一文感謝港台庇護中華文化所說: "是的，我要感謝香港和台灣，他們庇護了中華的文化，把這個民族美好的習性留了下來，讓很多根子裡的東西免於浩劫。縱然他們也有著這樣那樣的詬病。而我們，縱然我們有了麗茲卡爾頓和半島酒店，有了Gucci和LV，我們的縣長太太也許比他們最大的官員還要富有，我們隨便一個大片的製作成本就夠他們拍二、三十部電影，我們的世博會和奧運會他們永遠辦不起，但走在台灣的街頭，面對著那些計程車司機，速食店老闆，路人們，我卻一點自豪感都沒有。我們所擁有的他們都擁有過，我們所炫耀的他們的納稅人不會答應，我們所失去的他們都留下了，我們所缺少的，才是最能讓人感到自豪的......作為一個從大陸來的寫作者，我只是非常失落。這些失落並不是來自於這幾天淺顯的旅行，而是一直以來的感受。我失落在我生存的環境裡，前幾十年教人兇殘和鬥爭，後幾十年使人貪婪和自私，於是我們很多人的骨子裡被埋下了這些種子；我失落在我們的前輩們摧毀了文化，也摧毀了那些傳統的美德，摧毀了人與人之間的信任，摧毀了信仰和共識，卻沒有建立起一個美麗新世界，作為晚輩，我們誰也不知道能否彌補這一切，還是繼續的摧毀下去；我失落在不知道我們的後代能不能生存在一個互相理解而不是互相傷害的環境之中；我失落在作為一個寫作者，我寫這篇文章的時候還要不停的考慮措辭，以免哪個地方說過了線；我失落在當他人以善意面對我的時候，我的第一反應居然是會不會有什麼陰謀；我失落在我們自己的文藝作品很少能夠在台灣真正流傳，而能在台灣流傳的關於我們的大多是那些歷史真相和社會批判，更讓人失落的是那些批判和揭露往往都是被我們自己買了回去，用於更加瞭解我們自己。除了利益和人與人之間的鬥爭，我們幾乎對一切都冷漠。這些冷漠和荒誕所催生的新聞都被世界各地的報紙不停的放在頭版，雖然可以說這是官方的錯，但無奈卻也成了這個民族的注釋。"

談黃之鋒, 也談國民教育 Talking about Wong and National Education

在網絡上看到[學民思潮]之召集人黃之鋒, 只得15歲, 對記者答問如流, 思路清明, 反應敏銳, 有政治明星的素質, 外子欣慰說:"他十年後可繼狼鷹先生做特首"！他去年積極推動反對國民教育課程, 認為中學課程已有通識, 中史科等, 為何重複令學子加重負擔!?  

Recently there is a young political star appeared on the web, the fifteen-year old Wong Chi-Fung , who is the Convener of Scholarism.   He answered the reporters' questions fluently with clear ideas.  My husband said with admiration, "After a decade, he can succeed Mr.Wolf as Hong Kong Chief Executive".  Last June, he actively led a campaign against Liberal Education as its subject matter may repeat that of the sujects' such as Liberal Education and Chinese History in the secondary school curriculum which will exert immense pressure on students.

被指替學生洗腦, 教他們擁護中共的國民教育科, 教育局決定撥款５.３億元推行; 小學最快新學年推行, 中學最遲2016年也要開始! 公佈的課程指引, 將自由民主理念撥入世界範疇, 與中國國情割開, 隻字不提[六四]及維穩, 無法讓學生認識真正的國情, 甚至變成[政治洗腦], 看下圖通識科題目內容便知道! 據我所知, 西藏也有國民教育科, 目的是維持社會的穩定！而且, 中共也利用學[雷鋒]為道德典範, 但當社會的風氣已敗壞, 當官者無一顆仁者愛人之心（試問中共有多少薄來？），這怎能有效？除非高級官員做好誠實清廉的榜樣，否則狼鷹政府大灑金錢於事無補, 且還有許多教育項目等待撥款!

                             通識科題目已有[政治洗腦]之嫌，國民教育相信只會更甚

Accused of brainwashing of students, Hong Kong Department of Education has granted 5.3 billions to implement National Education, the fastest will be carried out in the new academic year for primary schools and the latest in 2016 for secondary schools. The announced curriculum guidelines amalgamate the ideology of democracy into the world category without mentioning the June 4th incident and maintenance of stability, not allowing students to understand the true national situation and even become a 'political brainwashing'.  As far as I know, National Education has also imposed upon Tibetan schools in order to maintain social stability.  Whats' more, Lei Feng is an icon used by Chinese Communist Party to publicize morality but when the ethos of the society is corrupted and high officials (how many Bo Xilais in China?) have ruthless hearts, how could it be effective to educate the people? Unless they set up a role model of integrity, it is futile for the Wolf's new government to splash extra cash to promote National Education in HK whilst other areas of education need the money.

區家麟｜絢麗荒涼　　　　（本文25/5/2012 刊於《信報》）

國民教育科課程指引出爐，由開展至落實，2016年全面推行。為響應指引內培養「明辨是非」和「獨立思考」的國民素質，與國家休戚與共的高尚情操，謹略盡綿力，從經濟、法律、政治及資訊科技等多方面，建議最新教材。

資訊科技思考題：祖國經濟發展一日千里，巴西 (Brazil)、俄羅斯 (Russia)、印度 (India) 及中國 (China)，被稱為不可忽視的新興市場力量，合稱BRIC「金磚四國」。最近中國再下一城，facebook招股書內，列舉業務發展風險因素，表示地球上有四個國家正在或曾經阻止國民使用facebook，包括敍利亞 (Syria)、伊朗 (Iran)、中國及北韓 (N. Korea)，網民統稱SICK「有病四國」。

試討論：facebook有什麼可怕，為何強大的祖國要阻止人民使用facebook？不能與內地朋友用facebook溝通，會否防礙與內地人民「根脈相連」、「加強和諧團結」？

經濟思考題一：四川汶川大地震後，特區政府有份撥款援建、位於重災區綿陽的一家學校，使用不足一年，被拆卸改建豪宅。(參考文章：多財未必興邦)

學習內容：認識國家重要政策「發展是硬道理」，從經濟學導論談起，了解生產總值GDP如何計算，闡述「拆了又建、建了又拆」，原來是美化經濟增長數字的有效方式，再論GDP與官員升職的關係，及「搞地皮」為何簡稱「GDP」。

課堂角色扮演遊戲：香港和祖國血濃於水，小明同學四年前幾番掙扎，把畢生的一半利是錢捐出，援助地震災民，支持重建，如今得悉綿陽市拆學校事件，小明感到受欺騙，我們如何勸導小明繼續義不容辭捐獻祖國？如何保證獲得援助的是災民而非貪官？

圖片思考題：請參考圖片，維權盲人律師陳光誠到紐約讀書，一家人第一次到宿舍的公園遊玩，陳光誠說，多年來第一次這樣曬太陽。

《蘋果日報》圖片。陳光誠在紐約宿舍旁的公園說：很多年沒有這樣曬太陽

建議教學流程：以「過程為本」，從祖國的一孩政策，了解陳光誠自學成為「赤腳律師」的過程；再了解陳光誠入獄原因及出獄後遭軟禁的經過，探討國家的法治建設。教師可帶領學生思考，為何在中國土地上，曬太陽那麼難？美國的陽光與中國的陽光有什麼分別？並設辯論題：「外國的陽光特別暖」，請學生自選正反立場，整理論點再辯論。

經濟思考題二：中國最近出現新興產業：維穩業。以陳光誠在山東家鄉東師古被軟禁為例，陳光誠謂從維穩人員口中得悉，為了好好軟禁他，年來國家已撥款三千萬人民幣以上的「維穩費」。

思考問題舉隅：老師應先釐清何謂「維穩」？維穩費是用作維誰之穩？是維護國家的穩定、社會的穩定、還是權貴之穩？一個盲人如陳光誠，如何導致國家不穩定？討論之前，老師亦應慎重選擇材料，陳光誠所說的數千萬維穩費是否可信？傳媒報道，國家每年用於內部保安的「維穩費」超過六千億元，比軍費還高，這說法是否屬實？

深入了解國情：接下來，老師可帶領學生了解維穩產業鏈的運作，其市場潛力及發展前景。在東師古村裡，數千萬維穩經費可以養活多少人？官員如何靠維穩費生活？他們的叔伯兄弟姨媽姑姐，如何分一杯羹？如何把維穩經濟推廣至全國？陳光誠往紐約讀書後，山東龐大的維穩產業鏈會否崩潰？會否造成失業大軍，危害社會安定繁榮？

法治思考題：國家主席胡錦濤年前提出，司法界的工作要堅持「三個至上」，即是「黨的事業至上、人民利益至上、憲法法律至上」。

國情密碼破解練習：胡錦濤把「黨的事業至上」先行，是否代表「黨的事業」比「人民利益」和「憲法法律」更重要？司法界是否需要為「黨的事業」服務？黨大、人民大，還是憲法大？誰應該排在首位？

德育、尺牘、國民身份混合思考題：有常識科教科書內文練習題說「香港回歸，就像一個被人領養的小孩子，回到親生媽媽的懷抱。」

討論議題示例：誰是你阿媽？祖國是否你阿媽？如果祖國是你阿媽，國家領導人又是你哪位親戚？中國人有「父母官」說法，又有人說官員是「公僕」，哪個說法較正確？老師可敦促學生撰寫「反思日誌」，定時思考祖國與阿媽的關係。

如此教法，透過多元學習，從不同觀點辨識事件，必能孕育同根同心同悲同喜的家國情懷，祝學習愉快。

昨天是香港立法會第三日"拉布"會議，審議議席出缺安排條例草案。立法會主席曾鈺成指今次會議黃毓民及陳偉業議員"拉布"，理解其他議員的心情及痛苦，但這個是議會發展過程應該有的經歷及經驗。為阻止"有關議席出缺安排的修訂條例草案通過", [人民力量]提出千三多項修訂, 并以慢條斯理方式發言! 港府及建制派堅持不撤回草案, 雙方爭持不休! 誰成就了拉布? 當然是港府及建制派!

Owing to the filibustering of the democratic legislators Raymond Wong and Albert Chan, yesterday was the Hong Kong Legislative Council's third day of the suspension of their meeting. President of the Legislative Council Jasper Tsang understood the feelings and suffering of the members but said it was an experience of the parliamentary process of development.  Democratic legislators Raymond Wong and Albert Chan's People Power Party are attempting to avoid a proposed amendment to a law that would prevent politicians from running for re-election less than 6 months. The Democrats' filibustering is angering the pro-Beijing government as well as the legislators and their battle will continue next week. [建制派]的堅持是幫了還是害了正在政改的[狠鷹]先生!？(東方日報圖) The pro-Beijing legislators are helping the CE Designate Mr. wolf or vice versa !? 據維基的解釋, "拉布"是一個阻撓議會程序的一個方式; 它是基於個人的權利延長辯論, 以延緩或完全阻止對一個提案進行表決! "拉布"首次使用於1854年在美國國會, 當對手位試圖拖延堪薩斯-內布拉斯加法案! 以前我很討厭黃陳的過激言行, 但如今我十分支持他們反對一些對香港市民不利的提案立法(例如網絡23條)! 強權正溫水煮蛙地一步步侵奪香港自由法治和市民權利(例如警權過大, 國民教育, 五司十四局, 用人唯紅等等)，"拉布"是在體制內合法對抗強權的最後手段! 然而, 毓民,大舊應感謝狼鷹先生(香港候任特首)給予機會表演政治智慧, 終於成為成千上萬人愛戴的政治明星! 借李怡先生所問: 所有香港市民，有想過自己在護法運動中當甚麼角色？ 其他泛民何不在場協助黃陳接力?  Where are the other democrats? According to Wiki, filibustering is a type of parliamentary procedure specially it is the right of an individual to extend debate to delay or entirely prevent a proposal to become a bill.  Filibustering was first used in 1854 when opponents tried to delay the Kansas-Nebraska Act in the U.S. Congress.  In the past, I was very angry with Wong and Chan's intemperate behaviour and speech, but now I fully support their opposition to prevent proposals for legislation unfavourable to the people of Hong Kong (e.g. Network Law 23rd).  Absolutism is infringing upon the freedom of the rules of law and rights of Hong Kong people like boiling the frogs step by step (e.g. the boundless power of the police, national education, five secretaries and fourteen bureaus, hiring communists to work in the new government, etc.). Filibustering is the last resort to combat legally against tyranny.  Nevertheless, they both should thank Mr. Wolf (HK Chief Executive designate) for giving them the opportunity to show off their political talent that would make them as beloved political stars of Hong Kong.  Like Mr.Lee Yee asked, Hong Kong people, did you think about your role of safeguarding the law?

嚇人的倫敦奧運重型軍備 Heavy military presence creating a climate of fear

倫敦奧林匹克運動會倒數2012小時, 戰鬥機[颱風]抵達英國皇家空軍諾索特, 由昨開始為期九天安全演習! 這是它從第二次世界大戰以來, 首次進駐空軍機地, 為倫敦奧運增添恐怖氣氛！此外, 英國國防部還引入波音武器, 部署在海軍巡邏艇或警車, 發出震耳欲聾噪音驅散群眾! 

Fighter aircraft 'Typhoon' arrived RAF Northolt yesterday for the start of a nine-day security exercise.It is the first time fighter aircraft have been stationed in the airbase since the WWII but the heavy military presence in London Olympics has been criticized as creating a climate of fear. In addition, the UK Ministry of Defence also employ the Long Range Acoustic Device in naval or police patrol to produce deafening noise to disperse the crowd.

Surface-to-air missile in Blackheath Common 地對空飛彈安置在奧林匹克公園

如果奧林匹克需要絕對安全, 地對空飛彈應在公園範圍內, 而非在老百姓的樓頂

If the Olympics needs security, missile should be in the park, but not on civilians' rooftop

後記: 英國倫敦奧運將至，當局公開場館餐牌，一品脫的喜力啤酒收費7.23英鎊(約87港元)，貴場外商販逾一倍。由於場館禁止攜酒類飲品進場，有網民對收費表示「震驚」。另外，英國的著名小食炸魚薯條，每份亦最少要8英鎊(約96港元)；500毫升的支裝可樂的售價則為2.3英鎊(約28港元)。 London Olympics menus show that the price of food is more than double of the restaurant price.  For example:  a pint of Heineken beer costs 7 pounds 23 pence, a portion of fish and chips costs 8 pounds, a can of 500ml Coke costs 2 pounds 30 pence.
