Thanks Lord Paton for standing up for HKers and breaking the CCP lies

[@samirkotecha9481]

One of the great PMs we never had. Could of done a great job in No 10.

[@lepetitchat123]

I wonder how he'd do as a PM. He is one of the very few politicians I actually like, because he appears to have a moral conscience that most politicians lack. So I am not sure if he can do PM's job lol.

[@salvatorerichichi8780]

Lord Patten would have been a magnificent Prime Minister in my view.

[@Greg-fl4cb]

Maybe you should read up about his time as the BBC Trust Chairman?!

[@simonsimon2888]

The British presence has done a good job of 'internationalising' Hong Kong with a wider perspective of the world.

With or without this guy, the fate of HK was sealed once returned to China. It's just sad how things have turned out, especially for the young generation (including me). We didn't ask to be born in such a cursed tiny city, with nowhere to go.

[@niggle6425]

I've got alot of time for Chris Patten

Nationalism i give my own understanding as a local citizen but origin of Philippine is, it is runs by the regulation of the local authority of an army in the country included by the Region of court of justice to follow all orders that comes from the country of highest authority more than an army rules and regulation.

[@timothyrigney1319]

Wow, did he kick a$$ in that.Very wise, intelligent, and funny man.

[@vilmaimperial4807]

General issue if the person wins the most outstanding law the world will exist there nothing for reasons countries cant accept it is the fact we do not build the world what it build for support to a human being living life in good understanding politically and humanity for intergrity and society in short simple word i can say and figured out in my own thinking.

[@sergiowarnick]

[@vilmaimperial4807]

Publication news, tabloid and media must all think to be no hate politically and speaks right for details they want to know from the Government and from the Party if it is are for moral or a democrats ànd if it is are democrat or just people want to be a democratic people. There were the rules for law and there also the law for the rules to do the exist order of law.

[@marshallmwansompelo2357]

We live in an age of post-truth politics. Please remake the world.

[@christinelivesey9077]

But then Europe changed

[@stanleyshum9318]

We cannot kill all the new comers.

[@pinchermartyn3959]

Patten's views on Brexit and the referendum vote was very worrying. Millwall, the Lions. Great club.

[@gennypiero9403]

The pink hovercraft peripherally prick because daffodil intrestingly shop despite a cloistered odometer. blushing, endurable camp

[@KingEutony]

Why must we call such individuals Lord?

[@kaanibakim4023]

King Eutony ur king hes lord

[@Jean-yt1lu]

It's a synonym for "bore"

[@damonopera4760]

King Eutony well the honour war either bestowed on him by our monarch or its an inherited title. We have a titular system, it's part of our traditions and what makes us unique.

[@lizabethgussman3147]

King Eutony,English aristocracy.

[@sergiowarnick]

King Eutony he got cash.

[@Mortimer_Duke]

My God. He’s aged.

[@Stephanos480]

Mortimer Duke --- As you probably have since you wrote this two years ago. And you know what? It's actually going to continue.

[@pinchermartyn3959]

Fighting democracy does age people prematurely. He looks defeated.

[@waftbut]

He should have fade away gracefully, honorably and leave behind a legacy. But he choose to support the violent protesters in Hong Kong.

[@wk9378]

Hypocrite.
