UK to offer citizenship 'route' to HK residents

A Hong Kong protester demonstrating against China's new law raises his British National Overseas passport

Many people in Hong Kong fear it could end their unique freedoms, which the rest of China does not have.The UK is already in talks with allies including the US and Australia about what to do if China imposes the new law - which would make it a crime to undermine Beijing's authority - and people start fleeing Hong Kong.

Expel Europeans and welcome HK thugs. Make Great Britain Great Again!

make real beautiful sight in UK

Me to change the name of that region to The United Sovereign States of China HongKong Japan Vietnam Thailand Malaysia Indonesia ...etc. Now, what would be a short-acronym for that? ..something based on their similar scripts... Okay.

We don't want refugees unless they are millionaires

Good - they need support and from years of experience of working with people from Hong Kong have more to offer than they will take

Has Farage and his xenophobic clan been consulted?

Goes to prove what the Chinese are like, promises were made to the Hong Kongers, and of course China ignores them. Trust they wouldn't have a clue as to what it was...

As a Chinese,I totally support this decision.We don’t need such rubbishes in our country.

Has he asked pritipatel? Or is it something else he’s made up as he’s gone along? Or is it something to distract us from Cummings and his Covid shambles?

So rather than tackle China we cave in? Rather than put at risk all those lucrative contracts such as nuclear, rail and telecommunications, we simply give in. No problem allowing HK citizens to move here but would question Boris' motives. The obvious way to hurt china is trade

Makes more sense that importing tonnes of Turd World savages and inbred religious fanatics from the religion that will remain nameless.

Another 'Bonkers' idea! Bet there are a million or two on the Mainland who will be claiming access to the UK to get away from the CCP!

Gonna be a lot more choice of Chinese takeaways on JustEat soon!!

I think this is he end of western civilization and beginning of eastern control 😂 I think China and India worked an alliance to control the world as Britain and France did in old times 😂 corona + civil unrest = bye 😂 just a joke

Great, just what we need - MORE PEOPLE IN THE UK.

So potentially 3 million more people into a country with over stretched and under funded resources. And many of those 3 m are the thugs who smashed HK to pieces.

There will be a quid pro quo. NZ, Canada, Oz, India et al have all already said any post Brexit trade would need to include Freedom of Movement for their citizens. The HK people already have visa free rights to visit U.K. under international treaty ie it’s already law.

Many Hong Kongers have relations in China. Will they also be allowed to join the Hong Kong nationals in the UK? How is this taking back control as demanded by brexiters?

Вы делаете мою жизнь лучше

Where are we going to put them? Even if only a percentage took it up (say all those with BNOs and 25% without) that is still a million people. That's a Glasgow sized city...right thing to do but needs years to implement.

In this World the TWO greatly hated things with their RANK are!!! 1st POPULATION 2nd The GARBAGE we throw away which is created by factories and other!! Professor Aman Tolla Hamda

You should take a look at what the Hong Kong 'demonstrators' have done in Taiwan. Then make your decision.

We don’t need any more immigrants for a failed Hong Kong.

Cut yourself to scare people?

Well, that'll please the gammon lobby no end.

UK is becoming colony of HK🤣🤣🤣

Brexit, bro 🤷🏼‍♂️

Good idea (sarkasm) then Hong Kong becomes more China-friendly. What a brilliant idea 🙄

DominicRaab pritipatel - Where are you going to house 3 million more people in UK? Are you going to provide jobs to 3 million people from Hong Kong to earn their living at a time of record joblessness and benefit claims? bbcqt

Let's really think about this! We've just made EU citizens feel so hated many upped and left. We have hardly any crop pickers and care and NHSuk desperate for carers! BorisJohnson thinks Hong Kong folk will leave their country? Farage & Far Right are gonna shit bricks!

absolutely! 🇭🇰

What? Even the ‘unskilled’ ones? Has anyone told pritipatel ?

Mind your own goddamn business .

The UK is already in talks with allies including the US and Australia about what to do if China imposes the new law It wont be the end of the world Anyway HK was a British colony Nothing to do with Oz

UK Gov have been asking countries like Australia, NZ, Canada, South Africa, etc if they would consider taking in HK citizens but not the UK itself. It seems being British does not mean being allowed in Britain.

“They just come in and steal our jobs” people are going to have a fit. Ha.

Wednesday briefing: UK lifeline to HongkongersThose who qualify as British nationals could get visas if China cracks down … Starmer says PM ‘winging it’ on Covid-19 … and Trump, president of mayhem They wouldn’t before. Plenty of people wanted to leave when HK was given to China and UK would let them in. And China didn’t want the people of other ethnic groups to stay. They couldn’t come to the UK either. UK would-not offer the same to people under oppression in its past colonies, like Burma. Why is there so much discrimination? HouseofCommons UK only wants to leech out talent. Selfish motives.
