Today is the one year anniversary of my first tear-gassing. Here’s the moment it happened, at 16.04 outiside Citic Tower, while I was cowering up a tree after being kettled with other peaceful protesters by the police.

The Hong Kong government would like you to think that the protesters are losing support but all of these supplies have come from Hong Kong people - engineers, bus drivers, waitresses, mums - who made their way to campuses on foot risking arrest to back-up the students.

It’s been another tough year to be a Hongkonger; the arrests, the sentences, the dismantling of all the things that make our home so special — but don’t give up, don’t let them steal your enjoyment of life too. Make your happiness a political statement in 2024. I love you all x

On June 12 2019, I joined peaceful sit-in outside Citic Tower near LegCo, which the police kettled so tightly I feared for my life. Thinking of the Ibrox and Hillsborough disasters I climbed a tree thinking I might be safe there.

Woke up few times last night thinking about the poor lad I witnessed being beaten and arrested. Managed to flip the video now so going to try to explain what happened. First, I don’t go to the front lines, more on edges offering moral support. 16.43 was on bridge watching this

A friend has sent me a video of a crowd of white-shirted wankers tearing up the flower memorial at Prince Edward MTR station at 15.15. Local people told her they’ve been paid to do it. They seem pretty enthusiastic about their work.

For two years CX have done everything the government asked of them, while keeping the post going, delivering vaccines, reuniting families, and they've to be punished because a couple of crew snapped under the draconian qt regs. Hard not to think it's a vendetta.
Sources also said mainland China officials were piling pressure on Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor’s government to punish Cathay Pacific for the current omicron outbreak —
