Conservative foreign affairs spokesman in the European Parliament,

Chris Patten worked under John Major and perhaps Thatcher too. As you know he got his rep from managing the handover of Hong Kong to the Communist Chinese. This may have been an inevitable since I think Britain's 99 year lease had run out.

That's the Goebbelsian lie that Snatcher Thatcher and the rest of that sorry crowd have successfully promulgated.

The Truth is that FRee British Hong Kong was CEDED to the UK and was, until Thatcher and her obscene gang gave it to the Peking psychopaths, as much a part of Britain as is Buckingham Palace!
