    Hong Kong is a great place, or at least it used to be. I am surprised that Hong Kong are competing for themselves still actually

    This is not just in sport.

    Look at our education system, over-run by crazy Lefties, making sure that everyone gets an ‘A’ (to the point that they had to create ‘A*’ as something higher) by dumbing down the curriculum. Then they go on to higher education where they get Mickey Mouse degrees that will not get them a job anywhere but McDonald’s but come with a big loan to repay. The woke secularism of identity politics has brought us social justice warriors and their illiberal white supremacy.

    Who is bottom of the table?

    They are obviously the strongest as they are holding up all the others.
