The police heroes came first over the Korean farmers in this year’s RTHK Backchat’s Person Of The Year Award. Congratulations to the police, it is a recognition of their hard work and heroism. Unfortunately a significant minority voted for the South Korean farmers, their supporters and apologists. These farmers were the same people that attacked Hong Kong police women with large sticks. (BTW these girls were not wall flowers, they stood their ground.)
What is telling is that the Korean farmers wanted to keep their subsidies and tariffs, whilst a lot of the other anti-WTO protesters wanted to see these kinds of agricultural subsidies lifted. I can never understand why they invited the farmers, they were diametrically opposed to free markets. Those who voted for the farmers are guilty of moral relativism including two of their apologists who were blabbing their mouths away on Backchat.
Anyway, let’s hope the police will go ahead with the trials against the Korean farmers that have been arrested. Of course, in line with the principles of justice, the police need to provide the official evidence against the farmers for judgement in a court of law. I am confident they will.
Once again congratulations to the Hong Kong Police. Their victory today was a victory for justice.
