We're allowing Hong Kong citizens born before 1997 because we have a legal obligation to. Boris isn't being kind here. It's not about the "sins of our fathers", it's about a contract we signed with China in 1997, which is binding until 2047.

Hong Kong folk will come here and find work. I expect it will be a challenge at first, they might have to take fruit picker jobs, and I reckon they will rather than absord welfare, but even if they do need support, in 5 or 10 years, when they have settled and the economy has recovered from covid, I expect the majority to be high achievers. It's in their DNA.

So why is this interesting then? Because some uninformed people on twitter are outraged? What else is new?

they might have to take fruit picker jobs,

I would be surprised if a single one came here to pick fruit for two months a year or whatever it is.

Obvious troll is obvious.

It's interesting to me because the plonkers on Twitter (and presumably on other platforms) can't wrap their heads around the fact that Brexiteer-type Brits are more welcoming to the idea than expected (and probably hoped).

It obviously won't be their ambition, but those that arrive during the summer will have that option, and some will take it.

Surely you've heard that phrase before? I'm not trying to be funny with that, it just means it's part of their culture.

I think it pretty explicitly means that it's nature, not nurture.

It's just a phrase, nobody means it literally when they say it. It's not meant to be analysed in the context of nature/nurture.
