The ICAC would hardly exist in its present form but for spiteful, revenge-driven sneaks — indeed most government departments couldn’t begin to operate without them. We need more civic-minded people lile Lew, as tit-for-tat is the only way of making the lowlife crawl out of the woodwork (with acknowledgements to Bela and Hemlock for the expression).

Although the anticipated Beijing endorsed partial democracy may thin out some of the buffoons, sadly, the bastards are here to stay.

CY LEUNG: THE MUSICAL

1. Opening number: ‘I Beg Your Pardon,I Never Promised You A Rose Garden’ CY solo

2. ‘What Have I Done To Deserve This’ Henry Tang and female trio

There’s millions to be made!

Can anyone answer what is the point of Sir David Aching Bones ? The British position (albeit belatedly) was and is that HK should have “democracy” Yet this British relic from a bygone age is an impediment – from his undermining of Patten, to serving on the Provisional Lego and his periodic epistles. Sadly he’s listened too.

He should do the honourable thing which is do what all well paid, excellent pension ex-colonial Civil Servants did and feck off to a cottage in Dorset.

(Hey – I supported CY as well, but I didn’t ask for a seat on LEGCO. But maybe that’s why the ICAC is not pounding on my door ! )

BTW : When are the kwoks and rafael due for trial ? I’d love to sit on that jury if I had 2 years of free time “GUILTY AS CHARGED ! Off with their heads !”
