The people of Hong Kong are grateful to both Lord Pattern and the United Kingdom.

No one knows Hong Kong better than Patten. Hongkongers would like to have him as the mayor of the city.

The Governor is right.

Chris Patten as amazing as always.

Chris Patten is quite update on events in asia and china as should be. He was running the British colony in the ladt decade of the previous century and then involved in Europe since. The recent unfolding of events in asia and elsewhere certainly draw many disapproving comments, but how would those events ghastly " rubbising " his country, or others, may be across the channel. Unsettling.

Thank you. Just great.

such insight

[@simongleaden2864]

He's not "Lord Chris Patten" as per the title screen. He's Lord Patten, a life peer in his own right, not a younger son of a duke or marquess.

why did he screw the people

[@profriday]

@Qimodis His channel doesn't have any content. He is probably a Chinese.
