Trial by tarpaulin is the new norm, witness the banners exhorting us to 'hate the evil cult Falun Gung' tied to the beams of the canopy in TST right outside the tourism office. Wonder what the non-mainland visitors think of us as they go in to buy their souvenir junk key-rings. @ Maugrim

Good to see fired Taipan Alasdair Morrison dug up to offer some platitudes and it’s always good to have a Mainland Princeling. Trust Bunny, K11 Baz and Billy Bunter (Anthony Wu) are also included on all committees to ensure harmonious governance continues. A backward step CY – stop doing a Donald !

Who knows what juicy qango awaits? Maybe the dangers of hotpot tribunal? The working group on reformed wax burners? I wait with bated breath. I do feel sorry for the guy accused of vampirism. I do wonder if in say, Canada for example, a photo of a more eastern resident was placed in a prominant position that also made a number of accusations in a language the aleged perpetrator couldn't read, there would perhaps be accusations of 'racism'?

I suspect one of the problems with a school student tutoring job is that a person's sense of humour is recalibrated to that of 5-18 year old children, such that he or she thinks what is funny to a child* is funny to all. * Particularly a child in a Confucian society who is encouraged to please all teachers and laugh at their 'humour'.
