Does the BNO extension give you right to work in UK or you have to jump through another loop to get the work visa?

Assuming he loses the election his authority evaporates 20th of January. Bunker Bitch could literal scream in the WH all he wants but no one would have any obligation to listen. There are no laws or emergence powers that can stop that. If elections somehow don't get held he still loses come 20th of January. There has been increased talk and movement on BNO. Still restricted to pre 1997. The devil is in the details. Could isn't will. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-52900700 quote:The UK is already in talks with allies including the US and Australia about what to do if China imposes the new law - which would make it a crime to undermine Beijing's authority - and people start fleeing Hong Kong.

Fired off an E-Mail to the immigration Minster. Probably get a non-automated reply tomorrow or the day after. I will need to draft some sort of paper letter to send to every MP. Any suggestions as to what to include? I will also be asking the NZ thread for ideas.

Here's a bit of a poo poo sandwich - African-Americans are getting caught up in the racist hysteria that's been going on in Guangzhou. But while some African countries have been pretty outspoken in protest, in an absolutely shocking turn of events the Trump administration has pretty much sat on its hands when it comes to protecting black Americans overseas. ‘We Need Help’: Coronavirus Fuels Racism Against Black Americans in China African governments have loudly protested abuse of their citizens in China, but the Trump administration’s response to harassment of African-Americans has been muted. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/02/us/politics/african-americans-china-coronavirus.html quote:Jeff Remmington, an American professional basketball player trying his hand in China, had already been through xenophobic hell: ostracized in Guangzhou, where he was once celebrated for his acrobatic dunks, denied service at a restaurant with his 4-year-old son because of his skin color, quarantined for two weeks, though he showed no signs of coronavirus infection, he said. quote:The two women interviewed by The Times work for Disney English in Guangzhou. After one Disney employee tested positive last month for the coronavirus, contact tracing led to the quarantine of 43 employees, including 23 Chinese and 20 foreign employees, a Disney spokeswoman said. Four employees tested positive and were hospitalized. A fifth — the African-American woman who called the consulate from the hospital — said she was told her test was positive, and she was hospitalized for seven days. quote:Now Mr. Remmington is trying to get himself and his son home to Florida, but flights are expensive and have long travel times. I admire the guy's optimism and willingness to protect his son from all of it, but uh, I have some real bad news for him

If it was purely just an extension to the amount of time a BNO holder could stay in the country then no, there's no right to work attached without applying for other visas. There is talk about changing this but who know what will actually happen.

Boris just wrote a opinion piece for the smcp where he confirmed they'd have right to work. We'll have to see more details as they come out, coronavirus lockdown should st least give the government's and civil service time to work out some plans. Boris Johnson posted:Today, about 350,000 of the territory’s people hold British National Overseas passports and another 2.5 million would be eligible to apply for them. At present, these passports allow visa-free access to the United Kingdom for up to six months.

Something intriguing from the bad place. https://www.huffingtonpost.in/entry...URdPVpIT2DpDpBj quote:Throughout January, the World Health Organization publicly praised China for what it called a speedy response to the new coronavirus and thanked the Chinese government for sharing the genetic map of the virus “immediately.”  Did they not learn anything with SARs?quote:The AP has found rather than colluding with China, WHO was itself largely kept in the dark, as China gave it only the minimal information required. But the agency did attempt to portray China in the best light, most likely to coax the country into providing more outbreak details. The doctors as expected are not in on it, hopelessly naive for sure, but the leadership sure the hell guilty. You can't act like that and not seen as colluding even without Taiwan in the picture.

The CCP does not learn things. In fact if I were a betting man I would put a lot of chips on the CCP rushing out a vaccine for Covid 19 ASAP so that they can be "first" only for it to be discovered shortly after that the vaccine does little to nothing. It looks like they're headed that way if the CanSino results are any indication

Nah, real comedy option is Taiwan coming out with the vaccine, and getting showered with praise and acclaim by the international community, whilst the CCP can only seethe. Also, happy nothing happened day everyone. There are certainly no current parallels to a country's leader threatening to send in the army to quell protests by shooting live ammunition at it's own people.

For future reference, anytime some dickhead Chinese nationalist tries to use the George Floyd protests as propaganda a good counter is to link them to this youtube video of a public hearing of the LAPD commission that's 8 and a half hours of the public calling them shithead motherfuckers and demanding resignations and reform https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oz0CKlGj3uI Wonder where the Chinese equivalent is
