“British police do some good things. In 2023, officers were credited with reducing the number of phone snatchings by punks on mopeds. Great. Let’s have more of that, less of telling victims of totalitarian dictatorship to shut up for their own good. The UK police wanted expatriate Hongkonger Carmen Lau, a pro-democracy activist and former Hong Kong politician who has been living in Britain since 2021, to stay out of trouble with China. So in March, London bobbies asked her to sign a ‘memorandum of understanding’ obliging her to avoid public gatherings and ‘cease any activity likely to put you at risk.’ What activity? Not hang gliding.” (08/04/25)
