Hong Kong residents with UK passports seek right to live in Britain. More here:

LONDON - Samson Ling may have a British passport, but it offers him no route out of Hong Kong to a life in London as protests grow against an extradition bill that many see as an example of growing Chinese influence in the financial hub.

Though BNO passports are British passports that allow a holder to visit the UK for 6 months, they do not come with an automatic right to live or work in the United Kingdom. Ling said such passport holders should be granted the right of abode or working visas, and that he would like to move to Britain with his family. But Britain’s interior ministry said it had no plans to change the system.

These traitors will one day be punished as they deserve.

I hear Kirby and Rotherham are nice places to live....

Bring these people into Britain ! That's the best solution. You do not need to take care of them after boming there. They can be refugees now.

Come on! Let them go to UK!

Good luck 😂😂🤣

I still don’t get what is this news about... trying to demonize China... I mean in the whole clip u only hear tightened grip... not substantiated but what exactly is freightening him? The clip is only about a delusional hope but not making sense. What’s wrong with China?

Please give it them. Let them go.

Please come, you are welcome. Help make our British society better.

Do we want another Windrush type fiasco?. I believe they have more rite than EU members.

If they want to leave, let them go.Before 1997, many people had left. Now, China is far better than 1997. So, we don,t need them,China doesn,t need them

Hmm, then there will be no more separatists rioting in the streets🧐 Cuz you see, HK does not grant citizenship to dual-citizens anymore.

Forget about it, UK passports mean nothing. They won't take you unless you are a Muslim refugee who will live on welfare and try to take over the country by subjugating everyone under Sharia law.

get out of HK!!

Now we knew who want chaos & collapse in H.K.

As if Britain wasnt already reeling with Brexit & it’s author, Russia

So, Chinese don't want to live under Chinese Authorities, but would rather live under their former European colonist? Mao must be turning in his grave.

All BN(O) passport holders in Hongkong should be given 🇬🇧 Right of Abode. The Wonderful Hongkong people deserve Nothing less! annabellebond BorisJohnson Jeremy_Hunt cathaypacific HSBC. Britain can gain Huge Face by this honourable gesture!
