On Thursday (10th) local time, the British House of Lords debated the relaxation of the BNO immigration visa program, so that Hong Kong people born after 1997 can benefit alone.
Former Hong Kong Governor Chris Patten severely criticized the previous chief executives at the meeting, saying that these "successors" either own foreign passports or their family members, describing them as traitors, and asking why these "persecutors" All have British passports, while those persecuted or imprisoned do not!"
Former Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying mocked Patten on social networking sites. He was rejected by voters in the UK and lost in the House of Commons election. His title was not conferred by the British people in a democratic way.
He said he was elected by a majority of the 1,200-strong special committee, not by the British Prime Minister or the Queen, and denied that he was Patten's "successor".
Leung Chun-ying criticized Patten for talking about Britain's responsibilities to Hong Kong people 30 years late. He criticized him for being hypocritical and shameless, which would make Hong Kong people lose their goodwill towards Britain. "Now we have to remember the Opium War!".

Leung Chun-ying satirized that Patten was "rejected by the people in a democratic way" in the UK, but he was supported by a large majority of the electoral committee. "Patten never swore allegiance to the people of Hong Kong, but I did." He criticized Patten and maintained the Royal Hong Kong Police. The operation of the Political Department, political prisoners were imprisoned in Mount Davis without trial during their tenure; and during the Hong Kong-British era, Hong Kong had to pay a heavy British garrison expense, but the public was never consulted.
Leung Chun-ying clarified that he had never held a British passport, but only had a "passport" issued by the British colonial government of Hong Kong. When he came to the UK as a student in 1974, the "passport" he held required an "entry permit" to enter the UK .
