PM Boris Johnson says the new law"violates Hong Kong's high degree of autonomy"
About 350,000 UK passport holders, and 2.6 million others eligible, will be able to come to the UK for five years.British National Overseas Passport holders in Hong Kong were granted special status in the 1980s but currently have restricted rights and are only entitled to visa-free access to the UK for six months.
The UK government has been raising concerns about the national security law and very publicly trying to pressure Beijing into a change heart. Many Tory MPs have been lobbying against that for some time - and this will only add to their concern. Hong Kong's new national security law, which targets secession, subversion and terrorism with punishments up to life in prison, came into effect on Tuesday.British National Overseas Passports do not confer nationality or the automatic right to live and work in the UK
Mr Raab said he wanted a positive relationship with China but Beijing had"broken its promise" to the people of Hong Kong through its"flagrant assault" on freedom of speech and right of peaceful assembly.
If you ever thought the UK liked black people... lol. I still need a visa to visit and have to pay international fees for their schools, all while the queen is head of state of my country and then this... 🙃🙃🙃
What Asian would want to live in the UK? There's tons of Michael Lofthouses there. Hong kong protesters would beg the president of China for forgiveness if they knew about this.
英国这个过气的强盗，还觉得自己多牛逼，真是恶心到家了。看这总统一天不洗头不洗脸的埋汰样就知道这个掠夺主义的国家已经走到了尽头。
Before we discuss about how UK tries to interfere in China's internal affairs, shouldn't UK explain those stolen items exhibiting in the British Museum. And shouldn't UK apologize for its colonial behavior and act of aggression to all victim countries and their people?
Trashes are always trashes,no matter where they are😤
Best news ever. Please take all those terrorists.
Nice move to get these talented, British educated tax payers to the uk. People from HK with BNO are a good lot. Not to mention, those who are willing to leave their home will be those who got their capital with them. Good to boost economy and GDP.
What if they come over here and take our jobs
Why Brexit then
Well done. Make it quick.
Hahah, ccp spy will flood to UK now.
3/3 The caveat? The 'permission to remain in the UK' can be withdrawn and the UK government can send these hopeful citizens back to Hong Kong anytime. SCAM ALERT: The UK needs $$$ after Brexit badly and thus the 5 years assessment period on the British soils. So much hypocrisy!
2/3 So technically speaking, one has to live in the UK for a total of 6 years before they are qualified for Citizenship, during the 6 years they are still Hong Kong Citizens, they enjoy zero welfare benefits.
1/3 Always read the small print, the BNO holders are allowed to stay in the UK for 12 months visa-free. If they are employed, financially secure and not a burden to the State for benefits they can apply for Citizenship after 5 years.
Good.. airlift all of the fuckhead straight to London
Don't worry. After one year or two living in the UK, they will see how racists the British are towards Asians and will beg the Hk government to take them back.
Happy with that decision as long as we only take the hard working law abiding residents
Thank You UK！We don't want them 😆😆😆😆
In their new home, if accept foreign money to plot arson, valndalism, terrorism against the people in their new home country, would they still be welcomed?
Why can’t you british just give a piece of land to these poor Hong kongers like Stewart island to build there own new Hong konger, 3 millions in the uk will still have to live under the British jurisdiction
Seriously ？ For what ？ I don't get it.
I wonder how the Brexiteers are feeling considering the fact the left the EU to cut migration now 3M are coming before we even fully exist 😂🤣
Lol，can't wait to send these Hongkongers to UK，at least,they are better than Negroes and Muslims. good luck to UK friends.
Has the Windrush tragedy been sorted yet. Posturing.
Do Hong Kong citizens now have more freedom of movement than British citizens?
Wonderful news! We have a moral duty to intervene here since China are breaking all the promises made in 97
And where in this small, overcrowded country will they go exactly?
Well done, 🇬🇧Uk
请马上让他们获得国籍，立刻马上。不要过那么多年。我们中国人赞成你马上执行
Six years of residency in search of an overseas passport. If useful, for its use, transfer to another country; If it doesn't work, spend all your savings and go where you love. Britain was as much a trading kingdom as it was a colonist.
British taxpayers would then have to foot the bill.
Lol! Brexit means Brexit!!
Congratulations to the UK for accepting millions of politically savvy Hong Kongers.😄
Think people need to understand that these 3m people are not migrants but BNO’s
Please take all of them.
BBCWorld Stop all funding
We voted to end mass immigration. Not end one and start another. This is a total betrayal of the British people. It is speeding up the replacement of the indigenous peoples. Boris is a traitor to his country. We native Brits need to rise up before it is too late.
BBCWorld BNO holders’ inquiries. First family of 5, 80 years old grandma/pa, a couple and two daughters, all jobless. Planning go to the UK and living on government benefits. Second is a BNO holder and wife and daughter, currently living on HK benefits, want to be UK citizens. Thoughts?
Komunis
How about giving citizenship to all struggling immigrants and assylm seekers
ThIs ISnT WhAt wE VoTEd FoR
YES!! THE TRASH TAKES ITSELF OUT! Just don't give them the chance to return HK easily, then it's a huge win-win.
Great few years work by the tories, take uk out of biggest market in a chaotic manner, cause chaos & nationalist unrest in NI & Scotland as a result & may break up uk, UK nearly top of the league in covid deaths & mismanagement & now practically declaring war on china...trumpian
Ooooft that will fuck of a lot of patriots
What about the people who risked their lives in the military for this country? Where’s their citizenship?
Nice, clean up HK! 👏👏👏
Go take the terrorists! BTW they might become beggars. Lol
Why haven't the UK offered white south African farmers refuge? They're still being killed and targeted daily.
So Britain will admit 3 million Chinese but. It White South Africans? What the fuck Great Britain! What the Fuck!
What fucking joke
😂😂😂
Good thing the majority of BNO's support China, and the post 1994 HK's are not eligible. Well played. Pretend to care when u dont. Lol
The Chinese people support you in this decision and stand with you
设宴欢送！英国威武，一看就是高手，把那些暴徒都收了去改良吧，给你一个大大的赞！
Nice! This is called reverse-colonization. More Chinese people migrating to UK after being colonized for decades. Have those UK white people worried though
Johnson 'I'm going to ruin this man's whole career!'. Poor Xi will open his Birthday pressie to find an empty box - yoink thanks for the asset and skilled labour capital old chap.
I will pay you money if you take’em all. PLEASE!
Funny the UK didn't offer citizenship when HK was a colony
Bloody discriminatory British. Offer that citizenship to Uighur Muslims too. Why don't you? Islamophobia?
This is a good thing, UK is willing to be a trash dump for China. Why the hell not? I fully support this.
作為一個中國人，十分感謝英國政府，讓我國的時代垃圾賣國賊們找到了一條好去路，真的非常感謝！
Jokes. On top of this the quality of people they are taking in is questionable, they are taking in protesters and shit stirrers. Way to go!
Why don't you offer them citizenship in 1998? Bunch of hypocrite.
Please do it as quick as you can!! I love to see it!!
Where are they going to be housed?
Thank you for taking these assholes
BBCWorld It will be disappointing if they decided to claim benefits
Take all HK rubbishers 🤭😄😄
英国政府愿意当接盘侠，倒也是敢作敢当，非常欢迎英国接盘
非常棒！留底不留人！
感谢！！赶紧把这些佛祖请走！
Look what kind of people are coming to UK
Thank goodness please do, we welcome any rubbish collectors
Take them all ! Be my guest!
HK ppl need the help of international communities to maintain its autonomy not as citizens/refugees in other places...
Brilliant move from UK. Can't think of a people who'd be more welcome and embraced here.....just don't screw it up Borris!
Well done on this move; just hope this doesn’t mean the breaking up of families. We owe it to the people of Hong Kong.
Rahulisnickname That's not good. Citizenship to HK lures natives. There is no alternative to freedom. Rather UK should support HK independence. Retrogression
Rather have them than the scum we're getting in boats
What the actual fuck? No citizenship offers to commonwealth soldiers who died for Britain but this is ok
That's great for Hong Kong and China, thanks UK. Take all of them 👏👏👏👏.
Lee Kuan Yew lambasted Britain in 1992 for hypocrisy and hidden agenda. Chris Patten was present and could only blink meekly. No answer to a great statesman. Shameless to try again. Beware the gweilo!!.
I can't wait to see more Chinese political parties appear in the UK
really？I DON'T BELIEVE
I can’t wait to see all those rioters to be the British citizens. By the way, don’t count them as “Chinese” please, even they have “Chinese” face! We Chinese don’t need to keep those trash, recycle them please! You make the bed to sleep in!
问问英国人答应吗？别搞独裁
does the UK really want citizens who are willing to trash their own country? openly break the law attacking unarmed elderly people etc?
快点，我们放鞭炮欢送😀
OMG, They came out from EU just because of EU ruling to adopt some thousands syrian refugees, world is so perfect designed to hate muslims
Welcome! hereby HKers may have opportunity to be elected as PM of UK, well done!
No disrespect; but country will well & truly be on its knees if that happens! Where are the jobs for them to occupy?; & there’ll be even less jobs as more as more people are made redundant due to lockdown / furlough; who will no doubt have to occupy existing vacancies!
I am happy we are helping those in need but what about those in need in the UK... We are struggling with homes for those who need them... What will happen when we have to house all these extra people... 🤯
Yeh long as it isn’t those damned “Islamic types” it’s ok right - bring over 3million and make it snappy! 🤦🏻♂️ Ffs
To everyone bitching about having more immigrants, please remember the unethical empire the British enforced on the world, through violence and theft . This is the LEAST the UK can do.
Brexit FC right now after being duped by the government.
Thank you UK, please take all these thugs out of my country asap. If UK actually gonna do this, my second favorite country is going to be UK forever!🙏🙏🙏
We've got too many people in this shithole already. This country is still as it was in Victorian Times. Tiny dingy gridlocked its no wonder we are in the shit.
The option of safe haven for HK citizens should absolutely be there, but first the U.K. should pursue all ends to make China adhere to the 1997 agreement. The U.K. must at least attempt to enforce the agreement before ceding to China’s will and picking up the pieces
How on earth can the UK deal with this at the moment? So many people have/will lose their jobs and homes due to COVID-19! Boris have you thought this through?!
Housing would be required, good news for builders.
I'm glad that this has been done. These people are looking at serious abuse, perhaps even torture. We can deal with details after their lives are saved.
Can I go anywhere in Europe then Joke
BBCPolitics So you're going to build more houses and destroy our beautiful green space, animals and their habitats even more than has already happened? Not to mention speeding up the process of the White British becoming a minority by at least 2066! Never mind mentioning the fight for jobs.
Hang on, doesn't this contradict the immigration vote this week in parliament?
Britain should also grant citizenship to all other colonised countries during the british empire!!!!!!!
Better start learning Cantonese
Worest policies in UK immigration
does that mean UK thinks the HK people worth more than refugees? 3 million, excuse me?
So do you think they would consider citizenship for a couple of americans who are sick and tired of this messed up country? Just the two of us oh and our two cats of course
Do they speak English or will it mean more translators for the NHS and other key services. This all costs money. I’m totally against more foreigners coming to our country I believe we have enough here as it is.
Good initiatives ......but help them to make a Honkong a separate country....releive them from China....they harrased...they beat.....they mutilated...and many more
Wow.Great！Please act quickly and pick up your good citizens.
BBCWorld As a American I am outraged... at how jealous this headline made me.
UK makes offer for HK citizens but China does not allow them to leave. BorisJohnson
Kick out the windrush generation though. Smh
3,000,000 mouths for food, for housing, for education, for medication and other resources. Or are you going to rip them off and return them after the stay limit? 🤔️
BBCWorld It's important that BNOP be offered to those born 1997 and beyond as they will be the ones most in need of it. I don't want to see the betrayal of the HK people, like Theresa May and conservatives did with the Windrush generation.
Unbelievable!! And what about the windrush generation? 🤦🏾
BBCWorld I think Chinese people also welcome it
Top HK government officials, pro CCP members and HK police including their family members shall be denied BNO application. Their hands are stained with people’s blood. BorisJohnson DominicRaab ipacglobal vonderleyen IPAC
He's doing this to sneak his kids there out
All the people that voted for brexit cus of immigration just got slapped in the face
Good news and good decision by the government. Welcome Hong Kongers!
What could possibly go wrong?
Why? As a Chinese from mainland China, I don’t understand this at all
I’m guessing the government hopes they can pick fruit and veg....
Haven't we got enough in the UK and let's not forget what came out of that part of the world,shut the door
The problem is the UK INVADED THEIR COUNTRY IN THE FIRST PLACE. You guys are mad, and i dont like it, but you fail to realise how much damage and the worlds problems YOU have created and allowed. Now the displacement is getting closer to home and youre mad. No sympathy here
Just because they rich thats all...what else they had to offer here...? Their dirty money so they can clean it here. ...waooo
Nice. Freedom from Chinese at last.
BBCWorld Punishing the CCP Relieve the refugees
If your from Hongkong you can come in because you have obviously got a few quid North Africa no chance your skint.
They will need to bring their businesses with them!
Brentrance.
BBCWorld Amazing...! About half million Rohingya are under persecution in the Rakhine state of Myanmar and also more than 1.3 million are in trouble in Bangladesh. UK government is requested to offer them citizenship as well. God will shower his blessings on those islands.
BROKEN NEWS 'UK makes citizenship offer for up to three million HongKong residents'. Please, please, please let us be the ones to break the news to NigelFarage...
And where are we going to house them... we have immigration out of control, greedy landlords, over seas buyers buying all properties. We have 1m homeless and yet the government wants to allow another 3m in. This is an island sinking under its weight. 1m on housing lists. STOP.
Good for UK now on exams you can have Kung Fooo
Great news
BBCWorld Lol uk will be china now .. uk was not makeing easy immigration to rest of the world as the immigration to uk is terrible and unhuman hard immigration system atm. And now they r giveing citizenship to 3 million rich hongkongers at once.what a joke uk has become.unitedhongkingdom
🤣🤣🤣tell them to keep 4 sets of papers for every year... or in 40 years time it’s “Hong Kong-rush” time! 🤷🏾♂️
... what about Canadians? 🥺
Your having a bubble 3millon. We are bloody full !!! 🤬no more please
Are they more useful than Nigeria 🤔
I have the perfect solution Labour want Socialism so why don’t we trade China they can have Owen Jones, Ash and all the other members of the Labour Party and we’ll take all the Hong Kongers. 1 for 1
UK new colonialism strategy.. they'll replace the Eastern European picking fruits.. hope it won't be another second wave of windrush scandal..
IntestinalBookW Maybe Sweden will want us
UKIP and those who voted for brexit are fuming 😂
Take control of our borders, except when it suits our macho image not to. Can easily absorb 3 million people, hospitals, schools, social services, no problem. I never realised HK Chinese were somehow different from other people ! ?. Any doctors, nurses among them.
Again the UK TAXPAYER will pick up a bill we really could do without , at a time when a lot of us cannot even get our pensions ( which we paid into )
Another news outlet failing to do its homework. Only 350k have bno passports... not 3+mil
I get it but I don't think we are in a position to do it...
I reckon That is only if the Chinese let them out.
Whilst people here are losing their jobs? 🤦♀️🤦♀️
I feel sad for HK but this is bullshit
Keep all cats and dogs locked in your homes!
Only the rich I presume?
and where are these people supposed to live? apparently there are not enough room on the streets ,because of our homeless citizens.
*Stares in Windrush*
Where are they going to live? We’re crowded shoulder to shoulder already on this small island ☹️
Highly intelligent, highly motivated, highly self reliant, what have we Brits got to worry about
More tory smoke and mirrors..
Slavery - colonisation - passport offer.....newer ways to bring them in - same treatment
BBCWorld Read the fine print I’m sure they will have criteria based on contributing factors to boost economy or brain trust since it’s not a refugee need.
Great Britain Ltd. All they want is money.
BBCWorld 还有这种好事哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
tHis iSnT tHe BrExiT I vOtEd FoR
Good start. Hope to see more pressure on China soon.
Where are they going to live and what if this does happen are they going to do for work? Is the government going to miraculously conjure up jobs and homes BorisJohnson? DominicRaab?
Brexit, Hong Kong Johnson and his half brother... smelling a 🐀
Britain is not stupid. What Britain needs is first-class talent, not rubbish.
I might be wary of accepting this generous offer, I'm sure the Windrush generation would have some advice for HK.....
Wow 😯 nice 👍🏻
HK glad to have the mob & rioter move to UK. Thanks.
jazzxagain Plenty of room when all the remainers fuck of to an EU country of their choice 😂😂👋
Ah yes. Taking back control of immigration by..... allowing more immigration. And 17.4 million halfwits fell for it.
Not even 24 hours after the Immigration Bill. Excellent
Time to load our rifles, pack our tea, and prepare to take land for the British empire *god save the queen intensifies*
Brexiteers, 😁😆😅at least they won't be coming from the EU
Yup. That's what we need right now.
3 million HongKongers moving to UK . Do you really believe ? My only concern is offering political asylum to the young freedom fighters .
Lakadia_Kamil bhai apne saath aisa kyu nahi hota kabhi?
I am sure they will love it in Blyth, Burnley and Cleethorpes
Curious to know Nigel_Farage opinion on this .
Remember when people like Nigel Farage got all riled up about a few thousand Romanians coming to the UK? What will 3m Hong Kongers do to their blood pressure?
I thought the whole point of voting FOR Brexit by millions of people was to CLOSE our borders and STOP the flow of immigrants into the UK? I Guess not
Nope, instead why not reannex HK?
Lots of new votes for the tories then. I lived in Hong Kong for years. Hard working and peaceful people but very racist. It’s like bringing in 3m Priti Patels.
Thing is they will totally out compete the white middle class, who will then be freed up to work in the fields... Hilarious oh and breed they will, exponentially.
I mean we do need more doctors. I'll be happy to see new faces.
UK. None of your business! ! ! Back off! Your British Empire time with HongKong had ended back 97. Mind your own business. Mind your own economy, employment and clear your own mess before get into other countries business.
Just another blank cheque
Can we open up all borders and all be citizens of the world?
We need to worry about our own problems first. We are in the middle of a crisis, there’s no jobs here as it is. We have no houses. I’d love to agree with this but right now, we’re not in a position to do so.
So China have done a great job of fucking over the world, and now they are starting on their own citizens. Nice folk
Then how can UK identity those people holding BNO but support CCP and HK police? Will they be eligible to grant UK citizenship too?
Same government who deported the Windrush generation WindrushScandal
'A person holding two passports, yesterday '.
BBCWorld Lol Cuckservatives are importing 3 million people & they hated thousands of eastern Europeans.
Are you fucking KIDDING ME ❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓‼️‼️ So, I spent here 12 years and have no citizenship, because I must spend 5 years here minimum, then I can apply for permanent residency then I must wait for another year to get STATUS, and then exam and pay, and China get it free?
Just can’t see that being a winner ! Criminals fleeing Chinese arrests warrants being housed in Britain, maybe boris being PM has gone to his head! 3 million! On the plus side plenty of organisedcrime and wetmarkets
The people who will be given the right to British Citizenship should have been granted it on handover, but Blair let them down. You can be sure most will not come to the UK. If China let's them leave they will go to Canada or Australia. HongKong TonyBlair
Hong_Kong_2020 only around 1/10 of that number (350K) actually own such BN(O) passport and most of them will choose to stay. maybe a small 5 digit number will actually take advantage of this scheme, for their families
United Kongdom.
I bet the people of hong kong will love coming to the promised land with wages at an all time low and high rents. Are we short of bus drivers again 😂
BBCWorld
This is essentially demographic genocide against the indigenous people of Great Britain.
BBCWorld Let's see Canada do the same JustinTrudeau
So just as we are going to suffer mass unemployment we have a potentially large influx of people. BorisJohnson if you’re not man enough to stand up to China then the VERY least you can do is impose 100+% tariffs on ALL Chinese goods and travel restrictions on them
BBCWorld That is so English of you. However, the Serpent is the most cunning creatures the LORD has ever made. He will use your kindness against you.
Running from China , is like running from a virus , eventually it will catch up with You 🤔
This is pure madness, absolute utter insanity. Goodbye GB.
why not？let them go!
BBCWorld Thank you UK for helping China remove cockroaches! I'm sure they will bring a lot of beautiful scenery to Britain!
BBCWorld 🤣🤣🤣getting the popcorn out for the Brexiteer meltdown at this news. Presumably they will all be highly skilled people. Has anyone told Farage yet or is he still lost up Trumps anal passage?
why we need to leave our home
Today is the 23rd anniversary of the Liberation of Hong Kong from British colonial rule. Why would any sane Chinese person want to come to a country boasting the world's highest deathrate from Covid-19. We do need some seasonal fruit pickers though if you're dumb enough.
How difficult is it not to flood your country with people who don't belong in it? Asking for a friend
andrewdgravy first thing boris has done that i support.
Things that make you go hmmm... Windrush
Great 👏 been saying we don’t have enough Japanese food place. We need to stand up to China
Does that mean there's actually no consequences of bleaching international contracts? Granting citizenship for fleeing HK people look just like the UK has accepted that it's OK for China to ignore the contract and what's promised, the UK will just adapt to its boorish action?!
3 million thugs
Why on earth would Hong Kong citizens want to come to the UK ? There’s nothing like the opportunities here that they have.
Nothing against immigrants, but we are a small country already heavily populated. We cant house the world. There must be a better solution.
It is a smart action where only HKers born before 1985 habe such UK oversea passport, but the majority pro-democratics are students born after 1990. This offers the mature ppl welcome them to bring asset over but blocked protesters.
BBCWorld More corona virus then
The one with lots of cash! 💪✊✌
BBCWorld My god. Put them in liverpool.
Red China CCP is similar to the Nazi in 1930.
Maybe once we bring 6 million more, then we will be complete. Annnd if that doesn't work, we probably need another 6 million. When will it ever be enough?
best to offer it to them tomorrow, HK never welcomes those criminals, those criminals should be dispelled immediately. UK better to sign up this proposal right now
BBCWorld That's awesome! Go and take their jobs, and mess them up😂
But the wind rush CITIZENS are being deported to countries they don’t know.
Sooner have them from Hong Kong, than criminal blacks
Due to Hong Kongese 107 IQ many people in the UK will wash their hands from Job Unemployment coming soon!
I hope this news constipates Nigel_Farage
BBCWorld The Great Britain is paying the price for the trick they played before 1997🤣🤣 Great Britain
Brexiteers will be hating this!!! Inject it into my veins.
Nope. Don’t do it.
BBCWorld Great news!
The reason why UK is offering citizenship
This is Cuba all over. Where will they live? Who will support them? This is just a Tory plan to fill cheap labour employment.
Love to see a responsible country!
Here we go again. We are struggling now with house shortages and NHS is under pressure. I feel for the people of Hong Kong but come on.
Great news. They need all the help they can get.
It's the right thing to do but 3 million..what does priti think of that? A few stragglers on boats doesn't seem so bad now.
And wtf would we do with 3 mill more people
There's no need to worry about overcrowding and infrastructure issues though, as pritipatel said that out of the 3 million HK residents offered citizenship, only eleventygazzilion thousand million of them will accept it.
I can hear Farage turning in his bunker from here.🤣
For tech
BBCPolitics Up to three million Hong Kong residents are to be offered the chance to settle in the UK.. I believe USA has made a similar offer so it’s a bidding war but I thought we didn’t like thousands of immigrants coming 🤔
We did it for Asians thrown out by Idi Amin we can help these people too
What Where are they going to live ? Who is paying for this ? The country is in recession with millions of jobs lost through redundancy. Sort your own house out BorisJohnson ... the UK is jn a frightening mess with Covid19UK on the rise again.
One thing that makes me curious is why the UK never came to the rescue of people in its former colonies in Africa or the Caribbean, people who fought alongside the British in world wars, people who were under British rule for centuries ? 🤔
Oh for crying out loud now we’ll get flooded with Chinese. Tge last thing we need.
BBCWorld UK should take every Hong Kong resident who wants to leave. Colonizer Karma.
They aren’t moving to the UK. They have been offered citizenship so that when China invades HK, it will be like invading the UK or one of its territories and then it will declare war. America did the same when it stole the lands that used to belong to Mexico.
u offer 3million from hong kong citizenship, & they will want jobs,homes, yet the government can't give that for it's own residents. So instead of 4 million no work unemployment will be 7 million, & that does not inclued other residents on other benefits,like PIP.
Excellent. Welcome
China's gain! China can just give BNO status to hundreds of its spies in HK & just sit back and watch with glee as the UK helps them import their spies and give them UK citenzenship. Within a decade, Chinese agents will be quietly routed in all major UK systems pending activation
Damn... now I'm jealous of the HongKongers.
It means more coronavirus, and all other shit they bring with!
BBCWorld Great news!
How about sanction and exile all those Gov Official, Pro Beijing Businessman, celebrities' children & family. They profit from supporting the suppression and reward to retire in U.K.
To offset the 3 million people in the UK who were offered no financial help during the pandemic, in time for the next election.
Lol surprised this wasn't Germany
BBCWorld Can't house all those currently living in uk Where they all going
That's gonna piss off the brexiteers
Just as non EU immigration hits a record 390,000 a year. Not sure Boris is listening to his voters.
Fantastic news, one of few decisions from this inept govt that I can applaud 👏🏼
and they'll bring their money with them will they ...
BBCWorld Hong Kong turned into a little fishing village again after 23years.😂😂😂
CANNOT WAIT TO HEAR WHAT FARAGE HAS TO SAY!!!!! HE WAS WORRIED ABOUT FEW 100s MIGRANTS, HE MIGHT NOW BE GETTING 100.000s.
Old colonist's mercy and charity? Rediculous! China has 1.4 billion people loving their motherland and working hard to make her stronger !
When would UK offer citizensship to his citizens of its colonies back in 1947?
Next massive duty and taxes on any Chinese made items, it's time to cripple china economically and move those jobs to developing nations and back to the UK. China has become powerful because we bought crap boosting its economy, we can kill it just as we built it up.
So I'm leaving in UK for 17 years, I'm paying my Taxes National insurance and never in my life I asked for any benefits or help from guvernment, but when I want British citizenship I must pay almost 2K. How is that working?
Brexiteers right now ....
They'll be fitter, harder working and better educated. Just sayin...
And their gonna live ...... ?
So if they all say yes where does BorisJohnson envisage that they'll be housed?
You just can't help yourself 'fudging' the truth BBC. They are British Nationals Overseas, they have always had every right to come here. No wonder the public are calling for you to be defunded, you treat the public like the idiot you actually are.
BBCWorld ppl r realistic. Before, Stand with Hong Kong, Fight for Freedom. Wait? Will they come to grab our work and spend our tax ? Fx..
Not right
psychowitch81 I voted to leave the EU so we were't overwhelmed with people from other shores, looks like I was right all along thinking they would find another way.
I wonder were they'll all live if they all decide to come !
Passports or no passports, who in their right mind would choose to come here. I think we’re kidding ourselves that we are an attractive proposition
I’m quite happy giving some of them residence here, but not three million, or even a fraction of that.
BBCWorld Powerful message!
Would have been more attractive 5 years ago
BBCPolitics Sceptical until it passed into law which can take years Meanwhile a group of stateless British Overseas Citizens (BOC) trapped in the UK for years I'm 1 of the BOC, a UK Master's degree graduate, in limbo since 2005 HumanRights Justice
PressivX The UK is no longer xenophobic? Is this a snare to get them here and treat them bad?
The rich people of HK have already been buying up properties in London which will further drive locals out. As for the ones who don’t have money, guess what they’ll do after a year realising they can’t survive in the UK... be prepared when you take in rioters.
Support UK. Must take all the waste youth in HK to UK.
We do not want or NEED three million Hong Kong residents in England. GO ELSEWHERE.
Just what we need three million more people in this country
Best thing to do is reclaim areas of the channel, NorthSea and Irish before we sink
So there goes me being able to afford a house... People from Hong Kong are minted 🤦🏽♂️
I hope it's true sincerely. 求求港独赶紧去你嘤国爹那里吧！ 我求求你们了！
Just the rich Tory donors anyway
Excellent, It's good that our government have stood up to China's blatant violation of the Sino-British treaty. The people of Hong Kong are not abandoned. This solution isn't as good as if Hong Kong kept its autonomy to begin with but it gives people another option. 🇭🇰🇬🇧
BBCWorld Can such an offer be extended to Biafra?
I just wish the government would worry about the problems here first. You can't help others if you can't help yourself.
So the leaver voters, voted to stop so called mass migration, and the government are going to let up to 3 million in to the country, you cpusltn make it up

BBCWorld Thanks,Thanks UK take away theses idiots rioter,hope these guys one day help UK 'Freedom'
We're full up.
Up to, why not more, if they are eligible? That will keep house prices high and politicians in profit.
I would not worry to much about them ,they are mostly hard working and money focused probably vote Tory
Surely us the people should be having a say on this. Where are they going to live?
Great news for HongKongers who are fighting for their freedom and facing total invasion and oppression from Communist China. It's very generous and Hong Kong people are so grateful to be given a glimpse of hope when it's much needed. HongKongers always love the UK.
BBCWorld Vijay Mallya,
i wonder how the average British people think of this.
BBCWorld Let's not give Huawei the UK 5G contract. And is it fair for independent schools to let mainland China pupils come to UK schools? Or do I sound like Trump?
This is the dumbest decision...China most important need Land.....and trust me you are helping the Chinese government
BBCWorld Great! Wish them all the best!
Oh yeah! Let the traitor, loser, terrorist go to the UK! Wow! Free people from the chaos!
Don't the people get to decide who can live on their land?! How come presidents and prime ministers act as if they owned the lands? Innocent sheep, no one rebels, anywhere
BBCPolitics Amphibious landing crafts might be better ?
BBCWorld Ouh la la..
I dont think so no houses no , land left and would push our pop to 90Million in a short time. London would be bigger than Mexico City, as you cant use the tube it would take 3 hours to get in from Uxbridge to the City by car on a good day ..
Does BorisJohnson really think that’s an attractive offer? 🤔🤔
LPrivileged TreatMeBetter
They were true and loyal to us when we occupied Hong Kong they only know Democracy and it must be awful to have their Freedom taken away they are good people hard working and we should welcome them .
“I would like to express our admiration, affection, and good wishes to all the people of Hong Kong.”
Don't do it guys. The UK will use you and spit you out like it did with Windrush.
The far right are about to loose their shit over this.
Bloody hell. This is confusing the racist Brexit morons. They want less immigration, but their side said it.😭
BBCWorld Good news, the ' beautiful sight to behold ', will move from Hong Kong to London. Ha, ha can't wait to see that.
What about the rest of them?, flee and ignore the rest is a cowards approach. Feels like Russia is running the show already.
Sanctions are needed.
while deporting the 'Windrush' generation
And no one realises it's just part of the elite plan to invade every country with Chinese people
It's nice to see how many Brexiters are supporting our citizens in Hong Kong. I hope some of the people who have been calling them racist feel suitably ashamed.
And they’ll be housed where?
The French gave citizenship to people in countries where they once ruled, so did the Dutch, Spanish & Portuguese Why does England refuse asylum or refuge, forget citizenship to Indians ❓❓ 10DowningStreet PeterEgan6 rickygervais RoyalFamily France24_fr UN UNHumanRights
I hope they have time to wait a year or so for the naturalisation, as I've been waiting 8 months already and I don't even have a target date on when they are going to look at my application 🤷♀️
BBCWorld Smart move, offer them british citizen ship then reclaim Hong Kong back to the british throne.
Maybe the government can do a swap with volunteers from the UK going to Hong Kong.
Good, hurry up and go to UK. Don’t wait.....
BBCWorld asap
EU referendum was proper brain wash for over 50% British people based on hate to immigration and now this 😂😂 Properly ripped off
Great. It is better that UK government provides them one way airline ticket and job offers.
I just wish some one would look at a Map of the UK, we are an Island, we already have got a Population of 60 million +, I feel sorry for the People of Hong Kong ,but there is a limit what we can do.
Lol, and still someone wants to complain abut migrants from Europe 🤔🤔
BBCWorld But not able to provide the same to DACA arrivals?
Good, plus many of them could be placed into the NHS as they are needing staff.
We don't have the infrastructure for people who are here now, let alone an additional 3m
Well done UK Government ScumMedia
BBCWorld Destroy Hong Kong don’t let the Chinese government take something they did nothing to build.
BBCWorld Wonder if they would get the same treatment if they were poor and brown 🤔
BBCWorld 香港房价要降低了，这正是深港购房好时机
3 million high skilled workers?
Great let’s make some land like China did. We’ll have to build x6 islands the size of Sheffield to cater for them all😂
BBCWorld Great! China will exile all foreign citizens and they will move to British Isles, which is fine by me!
BBCWorld More and more it seems the world is coming closer to civil wars everywhere. I hope it doesn't come to that and everything can be solved through conversation, because the aftermath will be even more frightening.
Get out of our country, go to England and start a color revolution,Hong Kong！Yes!!!!!
BBCWorld While I feel for the people of HK, unfortunately this island is full. There is no more room for three million immigrants. Maybe Canada or Australia or even the awful USA could take them; they have plenty of room to accommodate them.
BBCWorld this must be why the Windrush generation were kicked make way for Hong Kong nationals.the UK is not full after all
we've got plenty of protesters already ta.
BBCPolitics Great news, about time. It is awful how we had second class status British people in the first place. Thatcher, Major, Blair, Brown, Cameron all refused to sort this so well done to Boris, finally scrapping racist policy.
This comments section reflects the huge amount of anti-racism work still needed to be done in the UK. AsianLivesMatter
USA ban immigration temporarily due to jobs loses
BBCWorld Sure hope the Brits will walk their talk this time. I cannot wait for those ruthless rioters to move out of my beloved city. Many of us ordinary Hong Kong citizens embrace the HongKongSecurityLaw with open arms. We feel this is the only way to restore peace in HK.
Take them away, brits, if you really want to
BBCPolitics It took you until the 5th paragraph to mention these are British Nationals. British Nationals that we took away full citizenship from without their consent.
Congratulations
BBCPolitics That’s 60yrs worth of current EU immigration levels potentially over a very short period.......any fruit pickers ?
Even with foreign citizenship, the new law will still affect you if you were on Hong Kong soil, and extends to Hong Kong-operated vessels
Of course people from HK should be made to feel more than welcome here. But it’s a spineless approach. Why aren’t our government standing up for those people against the Chinese leadership to ensure Hong Kong remains autonomous?
TAKE BACK CONTROL
As long as they’re skilled and contribute... this is great news all round. They’ll be made welcome in 🇬🇧 See this is the thing... UK is a welcoming place for the right types of people. What we don’t like are low life criminals in rubber dinghies arriving daily 😡
NO MORE IMIGRENTS!!
BBCWorld UK has to extend China Town......who’s going to make the toys for children, if everyone leaves China? Unemployment will crash UK...
BBCWorld good~ let the rioters to experience herd immunity trial, from humman become herd😂😂😂
BBCPolitics Good.
BBCWorld Ah nice. Isn’t this more than the Brexit squad wanted coming?
Brilliant. Where they going to live. No work for them no schools for them no G.P. for them Basically no room at the inn. Brilliant.
This isn't what the Brexit voters asked for. They wanted to stop immigration.
BBCPolitics Noone in their right mind would want to live in a Marxist communist state to be fair.
The people of Hong Kong proved by action that they are still beasts that have not yet completed their evolution. What they need is a cage, iron chain and leather whip.
I really wish they'd offer citizenship to us Americans who want to get out of here. Donald Trump has ruined the United States.
BBCPolitics Yep, no more Europeans, bring on the Asian and African invasion. Brexit bulldogs will learn about the law unexpected consequences. Before long they’ll wish our Polish friends were still the only ones who wanted to be here and that things were actually pretty good!
BRICHI UNION
Should've been offered in 97
This about the criminal Boris Johnson wanting to launder Hong Kong triad money through the London property market for the right bribes to the Conservative party and his own interests... Russian dirty money is not enough for the Tories, they want more.
Send them to Scotland... Miss Krankie can look after them.
This country is busting now to full
BBCWorld done something right! Good job.
BBCWorld Not new, we have done it before. Remember Uganda, Windrush?
BBCWorld Expect new China towns
Although Hong Kong demonstrators have repeatedly denied that they are Chinese. But they once again proved by action that the Hong Kong people are authentic Chinese. Because in this world, only Chinese talents are so used to treating their compatriots with violence.
I wondered why Boris was going to spend Billions on hospitals , schools and stuff. It all makes sense now.
Wyrdtimes Send them to Scotland! They've got loads of room!
Terrible idea.
Where on earth are these going to live ?
What about the Windrush generation? They are still waiting
Does the bbc have the spine to question BorisJohnson as to exactly how this will impact on the NHS, Schools, DWP and Housing etc. Or are you still running scared by his threat to cut you up into tiny little pieces, leaving you with just a Drama channel?
TCSNetwork_ Educates your own citizens instead of trying to patronise other nations’ educated young professionals.
I'm sure they will be an asset to the UK.
Presumably that's for the richest 3 million of the 7.5 million?
timparenti Good. Well done. Sensible and compassionate decision.
Good job we took control of our borders yesterday otherwise we wouldn’t have room for another 3m migrants
