So what do we reckon is going to happen in Hong Kong?

[Sir C]

I could be wrong, but I don't think the Chinks will actually go full Tiananmen - they're a bit more publicity conscious than they used to be - also, HK is worth too much money to them to simply turn it into a slaughterhouse.

However, I think they want the protesters to think they will.

As you say, the chinee can't afford to mess with HK too harshly for financial reasons if nothing else, but on the other hand they can't afford to be seen to give in to protestors' demands, that could open the door to a billion fúcking rioters.

Rock and a hard place, innit.

My guess is that it won't end well.

Have you read the British embassy reports from Tianenman Square?

Sounds good to me. Chinese food seems to be one of the few cuisines left in the UK where they actually have salt in it.

I have an HR issue. An employee who has recently come under my managerial umbrella (ella, ella, ella) has revealed himself to be a Warhammer fan. He keeps receiving Amazon parcels full of Space Orcs or whatever and has even put up a notice in the kitchen asking for fellow deviants to contact him so that they can play at lunchtimes.

So my question is this: Are these sufficient grounds for dismissal?
