I've since seen it on Sky. Probably a better alternative for a lot of people given it location though the same article said China was going to refuse to let people leave.
So it was announced today on the BBC. They're throwing their hat in.
It's going to get messy. You'd have thought that perhaps China might want to get shot of those who object to the new legislation and allow them to leave . Perhaps its a deliberate move to show that they are in control and any subsequent relaxation will be seen as a "goodwill" gesture on their part.I've since seen it on Sky.

Anyone who protests about any foreigners coming in.Who are frothy mouths ?
I'd hope that the scale we're talking here makes such people stop and think the next time there's a mindless rant about immigration. Those numbers are trivial, for the everyday oppressed, compared to this. This highlights just how small they are in reality.Anyone who protests about any foreigners coming in.
We surely owe it to the people of Hong Kong to give them safe residence.
So you "hope" there will be big numbers coming over so it justifies something else . You hope that, for example, 3 million arrive from Hong Kong so that the usual figures of between 200 - 400,000 arriving most years from all over the world will look like peanuts and will no longer attract the kind of objections that it currently does.I'd hope that the scale we're talking here makes such people stop and think the next time there's a mindless rant about imnmigration.

It's very sad that you wish for huge numbers of people to feel so threatened for their liberty just to somehow satisfy your personal opinions on immigration policy.
I hope the Chinese renage on their policy and the people of Hong Kong feel that they can stay.
If not, we need to help as best we can. It's not about any personal political opinion. It's about doing the right thing.
I take it this is a "bait the brexiteers" thread.
You need to grow up. What's happening in Hong Kong is pretty awful. Exceptional circumstances. We should help them and let those who want to come here do so.
Way to misread.So you "hope" there will be big numbers coming over so it justifies something else .

Nope . You want a big influx just so that you can make a political pont . Shame on you. You couldn't give a shit about the Hong Kong people at all.I'd hope that the scale we're talking here makes such people stop and think the next time there's a mindless rant about immigration.

Brexiteers must be apoplectic...
Genuine question:
What benefit would this have to the UK, considering the unemployment rate will rise once furlough is ceased? Or is there an ulterior motive?

Good. I'm glad you've got that off your chest.I don't believe you are a teacher, but I do agree you belong in a school.
Oh no, here we go.......Ulterior motive apart from what? You surely don't think this is being done out of kindness or friendship
Did see something about giving them a region and making it a Freeport.Genuine question:

Exccellent. Hopefully not from Syria either. If so, we'll get on famouslyI voted leave, I have no problem with taking in people from Hong Kong
tbf, traditionally Johnson is very liberal in his attitude to immigration. This is far more the Johnson prior to his stance on Brexit, and his rhetoric there. It's interesting in its own way... although given he didn't realise that people with leave to remain in the UK didn't necessarily have access to benefits...Ulterior motive apart from what? You surely don't think this is being done out of kindness or friendship
..and if he doesn't agree with you, then that's his problem not yours. After all, you're always right.Exccellent. Hopefully not from Syria either. If so, we'll get on famously

Just over 20k people offered protection by the UK in the last year. Nothing compared to this. No reason to complain about 20kBritain since 2016 has taken in more refugees from outside the EU than any other EU state... I think we do our bit

Not really. It's only different in the same v way b somebody from Sudan is persecuted in a different way to somebody from Syria.I'm not complaining about anything, merely pointing out we do help refugees... Our offering help to Hong Kong is an entirely different situation

If you support us helping people in need from any country I have no issue whatsoever

You for a source for that? Also 2016 is a very weird cut off considering the migrant crisis started a couple years prior to that.
Ah so quite an important caveat to that. Cheers.
Theres talk of building a new Hong Kong right here in the UK.
Let's build Hong Kong 2.0 here in the UK - CapX
On BBC radio yesterday they said somewhere on the coast in Scotland or Humberside were being considered.I was thinking about this and wondered where there was enough land... I thought Wales
