Default The UK will provide visas for up to 70% of Hong Kong residents

An excellent move, although only roughly 300,000 are expected to take up the offer in the next five years.

We gave back Hong Kong to China, and we allowed China to go against the deal in place so we owe it to the people of Hong Kong to offer them an escape from tyranny. It's only right we open the gates to people we left to suffer.

You'll get all sorts of gammon whining about immigrants, being all like 'uhuhuhuh, they only want to come here because of the benefits uhuhuhuhuh!' But we can only really benefit from Hong Kong immigration really, it's a highly educated place with a lot of talented people who are making advances in various fields. We'd be lucky to have them.
