UK asylum: Protecting system from abuse by charlatans By Grenville Cross Wednesday, January 27, 2021, 11:06 By Grenville Cross On December 21, Nathan Law Kwun-chung, a professional agitator, announced that he was seeking political asylum in the United Kingdom. However, before the UK authorities rush into granting him asylum, they need to know rather more about him, particularly if they value truth and decency in those they admit. […] If, however, his 10 victims, particularly Chan, ever discover that he has taken to telling people that his conduct was “peaceful”, and that he was only “crossing a line”, they will undoubtedly share the disgust of everybody in Hong Kong who values truthful commentary. […] What, however, he concealed was that, instead of taking his oath in the sincere and solemn manner required by law, he chose to indulge in a crude rant, even yelling about “resistance and struggle”, and distorting its pronunciation. […] What Law is doing, therefore, is to engage in a campaign of disinformation, in an effort to promote the agendas of his foreign handlers.
