Britain Must Keep Its Promise to Hong Kongers The UK has a moral obligation and an economic interest in safeguarding the path to citizenship for migrants from the territory it formerly ruled.

Hong Kong migrants must not become collateral damage in the UK governmentโ€™s attempts to appear tough on immigration and beat back the threat of the populist right

Insane HK gingerbread house/time capsule on the Bake Off

I tuned out because the show started getting ridiculous and I missed it when they just asked people to make a Victoria sponge instead of a 3D cake (the judgesโ€™ confusion over what pandan is one time made me uneasy). Still a watchable show otherwise

Inside the World of โ€œThe Great British Bake Offโ€ The show captures disastrous custard-making, quintessentially British faux-modesty, and the blistering hubris of bakersโ€”including me.

What makes โ€œThe Great British Bake Offโ€ so beloved is that itโ€™s one of the most successful unscripted shows of the century and still feels like an underdog. Ruby Tandoh, a former contestant, shares stories from inside the tent.

It's coming up to 2 years since Hong Kong-based journalist Minnie Chan was last seen by her colleagues or her family. Last seen attending an event in Beijing. We will never give up hope for her safe return. #journalismisnotacrime www.scmp.com/author/minni...

Yeah they were there to film a Christmas special. Will be interesting to see how they film it because I think theyโ€™re in the early to mid-70s at this point of the show

HKers know this well. A wave of resignations among university leadership followed the imposition of the national security law as pro-Beijing politicians and state media targeted administrators they accused of sympathising with pro-democracy student protestors or not dealing with them harshly enough.

I canโ€™t imagine GovHK letting them โ€œdieโ€. What would that do to their economic narratives?

Back when Hong Kong only had 2 commercial TV stations, the government made sure for years that ATV (the one losing money every hour) would not go bankrupt, to ensure TVB would not become a monopolyโ€ฆ
