entirely, a further 10% hold that the "time was not now".
Agreement only comes from the Establishment, no person of any standing has had the guts to come out against the amnesty, not one. Some disagree on the timing but all seem to accept the amnesty. Obviously Big Business would, all they are interested in is conning the public and robbing each other, no sqeaks from that parasitic faction. One expects in time that Mrs. Elliot and Miss Dunn will have something to say on the matter but due to male chauvinism within the Colony they will be walking into the lions den". What the Colony needs is a Lord Justic Widgery, a man with a legal mind but whose sense of justic is not bent like a cork-screw for his own petty ends to the detriment of the people of Hong Kong. If the Chinese of Hong Kong lose confidence in the administration then Hong Kong is lost. They are Hong Kong.

And so it goes on, in every sphere of activity. Sense of justice has been lost, but it pays these pathetic individuals to lose it. Seems it is also lost in the Law Faculty of the University too, it must be when Prof.P.Willoughby thinks the
