They should all have their genitalia nailed to their front doors. Damn pediatricians.

As a kid, Tony “crocodile” Chan must have chomped his way through two tubes of Darkie Toothpaste each day. What a grin. It’s no wonder that China’s Bjork fell for the tubby little chap.

Cage them. Castrate them. Tag them.

But some coppers won’t respond to any of that, will they?

Nina looks quite cute in that b&w photo they keep showing from her younger days. I would.

The truth about offenders is that the vast majority are recidivists – rehabilitation simply doesn’t work for most of them. I don’t know why but them’s the facts. Besides, English common law courts simply don’t lock people away for long enough. When they get out they reoffend. Burglars and robbers are one thing but kiddy-fiddlers need to be kept at arm’s length from their defenceless prey. How that’s done is not simple but done it has to be.

How can you fail to be fascinated by the piranha teeth of Mr Chan? They are emblematic, iconic, the engines of a savage rapacitty rarelly seen in anyone’s lifetime. They are the ruthless razors of capitalism, the maw of modern Hong Kobg.

This is rich: the gift to the Chinachem Foundation could itself be invalid because the Foundation itself is not exclusively charitable – read the following extract from the judgment:

36. Apart from naming the Plaintiff as beneficiary, the 2002 Will also expressed Nina’s wish that the management of the Plaintiff shall be supervised by an authority making up of the Secretary General of the United Nations, the Premier of the People’s Republic of China and the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. It is provided in the 2002 Will that in addition to continuing with its existing charitable works and developing the same, the Plaintiff shall set up a Chinese prize with worldwide significance similar to the Nobel Prize. Nina also expressed the wish that the Plaintiff shall maintain and expand the business of the Chinachem Group in order to use part of the profit generated from the business for charitable purposes. She also provided in the 2002 Will that the Plaintiff was to look after the parents of Teddy and the siblings of Teddy and their children. It should also provide assistance to the educational needs of the staff of Chinachem and their children.

37. The principal object clause of the Plaintiff in its Memorandum of Association set out the charitable activities that the Plaintiff may engage in. Broadly speaking, it can accommodate the wishes of Nina expressed in the 2002 Will as regards her specified charitable objectives. It may be arguable whether the provisions for Teddy’s parents and siblings and their children and staff of Chinachem fall within the object clause. But this is not a question that this court needs to resolve in the present context.

It’s good to see that the mouth-frothing geniuses who ran ARATS back in the 1990s and practically delivered the ROC presidency to Lee Teng-hui and A-Bian have found new jobs in the HK Liaison Office and miscellaneous Grandpa-friendly organizations. All we need now are missile tests in the Pearl River Estuary.

That is their plan, right? Let the Trotskyists run the place for two terms, and then the people will rush back to the DAB’s and Liberals’ loving arms…?
