I need to know....

Well, there you go. Better batten down the hatches if you're in Honkers.

I'd be leaving, by any means possible.


Satellite photos show what appear to be Chinese armoured personnel carriers and other military vehicles across the border from Hong Kong.

Parked in a sports complex in the city of Shenzhen, the deployment has been interpreted as a threat from Beijing to use increased force against pro-democracy protesters.

The pictures, collected on Monday by Maxar’s WorldView, show 500 or more vehicles sitting on and around the soccer stadium at the Shenzhen Bay Sports Centre.

The military force is just across the harbour from the Asian financial hub that has been rocked by near-daily street demonstrations.

It a Rex Hunt voice "How many tanks is the Shenzen Housin?"

Know any truckies, I piss myself when they go with cock..

[Magellan]

No, you can't fit a tank into an airport but you can put a tank where an airport ( and protesters ) used to be.

I don't think the Chinese will go as far as damaging the airport (presumably that's one reason why they're protesting there, as well as raising the profile of the democracy cause) if they go the nuclear option, instead they'll flush them out onto the streets and round them up from there.

Which is already happening....

Hong Kong’s anti-government protesters learned on Wednesday that the Airport Authority had secured an interim court injunction order to ban them from Hong Kong International Airport after a mass sit-in that lasted for five days, cancelling hundreds of flights and descending into clashes with police on Tuesday. Although the court order does allow the protesters to remain in two designated areas in the arrivals hall, the authority said it was unlikely to grant such requests in the short term.

Ah yes, I saw that too. Of course, I'm sure the Hong Kong judiciary are a fair and independent body who aren't influenced by anyone.

All the pieces are starting to fit, aren't they? I can hear President Xi quoting Hannibal from the 'A-Team':

[Booney]

Yep, there's bloodshed ahead and the rest of the world will just watch on......sad.

Hang on, Trump's offered via Twitter to sit down with Xi and work things out with him:

It's not Don's fault.... he is an American, and the English language is foreign to them...... He's no Churchill!

I also liked the 'he has the respect of his people' bit.

Winston was an arsehole as well.

Mind you, he might convince Xi into a 'personal meeting' if its meant to be anything like the parties he attended in the 90's with Jeffrey Epstein and David Boon/Alan Lamb.

Fair point, he ain't as great the Poms think though.

I need to know if anyone knows the story with the 3 or 4 cars that are permanently parked on the side of Glynburn Road, just before The Feathers hotel, opposite the Leabrook OTR. One is a jaguar with a personalised number plate, AFC-000? They've been there for a few years now!
