  • http://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/politics/article/1866124/negotiator-hong-kongs-handover-china-geoffrey-howe-has-died Howe is remembered in Hong Kong as the British foreign secretary of the time who negotiated with China over the city’s fate beyond 1997. After a round of historic negotiations concluded in Beijing in 1984, Howe came to Hong Kong and gave a press conference on 20th April to officially announce that London would give up its rule in Hong Kong in 1997. He visited the then colony again in July 1989 – soon after Beijing’s June 4 crackdown on the Tiananmen democracy campaign shook Hongkongers’ confidence over their future under Chinese Communist rule, and rejected the option of giving Hongkongers full British citizenship. Last year, declassified British government records revealed that Howe proposed on September 6, 1984 that London should accept Beijing’s position that the chief executive could be chosen by "election or consultation" in return for a statement in the joint declaration that the legislature should be elected. In an interview with the South China Morning Post in 2004, Howe fended off criticism that British officials failed to secure democracy for Hong Kong after the handover in her negotiations with China. "If we suddenly announced a Westminster style parliament in Hong Kong, the Chinese might well have taken that as a cause for simply marching in. I don’t think they would necessarily contemplate it, but who was to know," he said at that time. Howe’s family said he died late on Friday night at his home after attending a local jazz concert with his wife Elspeth. Former Executive Councillor and Legislative Councillor Allen Lee Peng-fei said he found Howe had not fought for Hongkongers’ maximum interests in the Sino-British negotiation. He recalled the time when Deng Xiaoping rejected the idea of making the negotiation tripartite and include local Hong Kong representatives. “At that time Britain had already given up sovereignty over Hong Kong and only wanted to avoid the Hong Kong issue from becoming an obstacle on her relation with China. Howe just wanted to get rid of troubles.” But Democrat Lee Wing-tat, who along with his colleagues ambushed Howe with a protest at an official dinner on his visit in 1989, said he believed the former foreign secretary had already done he could do under Thatcher’s policy on Hong Kong. “We raised three demands to him at that time: right of abode for Hongkongers, democratisation and legislation on the Bill of Rights… The British government later decided to give 50,000 right of abode quotas and secured the Bill of Rights. The most disappointing part was the failure to secure democracy in Hong Kong. But at that time Britain had not much bargaining chip left and I believed he had already tried his best.” Democratic Party founding chairman Martin Lee Chu-ming said he remembered Howe firming rejecting four requests that he and his fellow democracy campaigners made about the future of Hong Kong, but Britain later partially compromised by introducing electoral reforms, legislating on the Bill of Rights and offering British right of abode to 50,000 families.
  • 賀維在政治生涯後期與戴卓爾夫人政見不合，他主張英國加入歐洲匯率機制，更與財相勞森以辭職相脅，逼使戴卓爾夫人同意。雙方不和導致賀維於1989年夏天被免去外相職務，雖然其後轉任下議院議長和副首相，但權力大削。1990年底，戴卓爾夫人宣佈英國永不加入歐洲單一貨幣計劃，賀維不服並於11月1日辭職，並在13日的離任演說中猛烈批評戴卓爾夫人，最終導致保守黨人發動逼宮，戴卓爾夫人在黨魁選舉中未能取得足夠支持，於28日宣佈下台。http://pdf.wenweipo.com/2015/10/11/a20-1011.pdf

Prosecutors later decided not to take action.  Last year, Duncan was the prosecutor who defeated the appeal of former development minister Mak Chai-kwong and a former assistant highways director in a rent-allowance scam.  The lead prosecutor in Tsang's case is deputy director of public prosecutions Alain Sham Chung-ping.

- 李漢基
  • 二次大戰過後，隨着中國餐飲逐漸受歡迎，加上當時大批香港新界移民湧入，倫敦市中心爵祿街一帶開始出現一間又一間的中國餐館，華人勢力逐漸佔據了這一帶，形成了所謂的「唐人街」。不過唐人街仍然沒有正式的行政邊界，直到1985年，倫敦市政府才正式承認倫敦華埠為唐人街社區。過去28年，當地華裔李漢基便一直親身經歷倫敦華埠的滄桑變化。16歲便由香港來英國讀書的李漢基， 1981年牙科畢業後，放棄返香港發展的機會，留在英國的醫院工作。就在倫敦華埠成立的那一年，李漢基便在華埠正式加入一名牙醫朋友在華埠的診所成為合夥人。28年來，李漢基一直在華埠服務坊眾，為一些英語不靈光的長者及華人，提供專業服務。在倫敦華埠執業近30年，李漢基說目睹華埠飲食業的人事變遷。他說，華埠最早期由香港新界人開始在這裏「搵食」，他們胼手胝足，「死做爛做」，由樓面企堂或者廚房做起，建立了自己的餐館，半世人青春過去了，但他們在英國出世的下一代，大部分都不願意繼承家族生意，令中餐業青黃不接。1980年代開始，大批越南人來英國定居，這些越南華人和香港人一樣，克苦耐勞，任勞任怨，他們在唐人街也逐漸建立起自已的生意。之後由馬來西亞來的華人，也在華埠分一杯羹。過去10年，來自中國的移民，特別是溫州人，亦逐漸在華埠建立了自已的事業。近半個甲子過去，倫敦唐人街已是面目全非。但李漢基說，現在的華埠其實變得更有生氣，「各有各做」，有開日本壽司店，也有南韓餐館，百花齊放。中餐館想要有新發展，便要改變經營方針和路線，走新派高檔的形式，或者是以連鎖式或特許經營模式經營。人稱Lawrence的李漢基，社會活動能力極強，除了是倫敦華埠商會的發言人之外，80年代創立「爐峰社」，為當時由香港來英國述職的官員作為溝通的橋樑，爐峰社全盛時期有200多名中外會員。因為爐峰社的關係，也使李漢基認識了不是政界朋友，當中包括香港殖民時代的前布政司霍德。李漢基說，不單和霍德成為朋友，霍德一家都是他診所的顧客。除了華人社區的坊眾之外，李漢基診所的顧客不乏達官貴人，例如日本使館人員，中國使館人員等。李漢基本身也是獅子會的成員，27年來一直透過獅子會的活動，協助社區有需要的人。在聖誕節前，李漢基便參與探訪長者護理安老院活動，為一批華人長者送上聖誕禮物。熟悉Lawrence的人都知道，他有2大嗜好：高爾夫球和紅酒。李漢基說，他對打高爾夫球的狂熱，就連落雪都會去打。至於紅酒，他的「癮」更大，為了以酒會友，他成立了London Wine Club，和一班志同道合的人，四處到國外的酒莊試酒，尋找好酒。李漢基從品嘗紅酒開始，到經營紅酒買賣，現在還計劃將自已走遍各地，尋找美酒的經歷撰述成書。

  • 根據網上的資料，鄧漢聲是英國和香港執業律師，1992年在倫敦創辦了自己的律師事務所，主要從事移民、房地產、航空、商業訴訟等多個領域的法律案件。2000年，英國多佛港海關，58名中國非法移民被發現悶死在貨櫃中，慘烈景象令世人震驚。鄧漢聲是受害者的代表律師，起訴從事人口走私、偷渡的犯罪集團。2004年，英國發生了震驚中外的莫克姆灣拾貝慘案，23名非法勞工、華裔拾貝者在英格蘭北部的莫克姆灣漲潮中喪生。鄧漢聲又代表死難者家屬，向英國刑事賠償局進行索賠。他為阿爾及利亞人Baiai辯護，抗議英國內政部2005年實施的“結婚登記準證”政策(Certificate of Approval, COA)。這項政策規定任何非歐盟公民如果想在英國各地的結婚登記處登記結婚前，必須向英國內務部申請這一許可，如果簽證有效期不足6個月的，則不能獲得許可，最終在英國最高法院勝訴，判定該項政策包括COA收費違反歐洲人權公約，促使英國政府在2009年4月改變政策，暫停對申請結婚登記準證的收費，更讓鄧漢聲聲名鵲起。他還曾被中國駐英國大使館、倫敦市政府、倫敦投資局等機構邀請，提供相關法律諮詢服務，並在多箇中國和英國的機構和活動中擔任重要角色。https://hk.wxwenku.com/d/100339396
