        Agreed, the very fact these people are not protesting that they have to sleep in "coffin homes" at night, and hang out in US fast food chains at day just so they can afford food and AC, tells you quite a lot...

        It is not too late for Carrie Lam to come down from her high horse and replace her PR advisor.

        Above all, political reform. When even the ICAC and police appointed by the Chief Executive and the Chief Ex like Carrie Lam appointed by the profoundly corrupt Beijing, how to rebuild trust? The late turmoil has fully exposed the weakness & it is not going to work any more.

        I put my personal opinion of the author aside and braved this article. Still disappointed by the lack of insight in the pertinent issues. Ind enquiry must be carried out ASAP. Those so-called reforms don't come overnight. U have to bring calm back to soc first b4 all else

        Wrong! It needs an independent judicial enquiry into the protests., an enquiry of both sides, protestors and police and certainly the incident on July 21 in Yuen Long. And certainly not an enquiry by the police!
