I know it's probably not Burnham's fault, but it's a depressing first action towards the Hong Kong people from the new UK government...

Ex-Hong Kong opposition leader Wu Chi-wai enters UK for asylum after border detention – report
It is understood that there was an administrative issue related to Wu’s paperwork at the border, HKFP has learned from sources familiar with the matter. The detention was not connected to the democrat’s status in Hong Kong.

it's so darkly funny how the more imperialist tories are more pro-hk because of their aforementioned imperialism despite being shitbags in so many other ways
also how typical of the british to continue treating people whom it gave passports to as second class not even citizens. handed us to the slaughterhouse and then what?

Bare minimum, really. It's absurd that using a British passport doesn't guarantee you entry, second class citizenship everywhere we go
