Dispatches from the State Ministry of Truth

Mong Kok liberated.  Thousands of angry residents, shopowners, workers surrounded the rioters and booed them.  The rioters had to be escorted out by police.  The organisers announced that they have abandoned Mong Kok.

The angry mob is moving to Causeway Bay (it is only like 30 minutes by train) to repeat the same tactic against the rioters.

You can still join them if you hurry. Will help with your next promotion.

I love it how Mono assigns the label "rioters" to the peaceful protesters, and "angry residents" to the violent rioters attacking the protesters... and I don't think he is trying to be amusing.

Next, he'll be telling us that we have always been at war with Eastasia.

Seriously, according to polls, the majority are against the occupy movement.  We need to make a living, and that shouldn't be hard to grasp.  By indefinitely occupying key roads, the rioters are making tons of enemies.  Parents need to stay home to look after their children.  The retail market is dead.  Tourists aren't coming.  Those who rely on commission income have their incomes entirely cut off.  Is it any surprise that the people are fighting back, since the police are next to useless?

As an Eastasian government agent, shouldn't he be trying to pit us against Eurasia?

[Monoriu]

Now the students are saying that if the government doesn't stop the mob, they'll refuse to meet. 

Why should the police help sustain an illegal activity?

[Monoriu]

Causeway Bay rioters are packing and leaving.

Rumour is that riot police will clear the people who block the entrances to government HQs tonight.

Mono, when the revolution comes show them your Canadian passport. That might save you.

[Eddie Teach]

What revolution? By the sounds of it, the pro-government rioters are stronger than the anti-government rioters, even without getting the Chinese army involved. He'll get the "One Country, One System" plan he's been waiting for.

I just want the status quo.

I don't think the democrats are capable of starting a revolution.  We are a city of office workers and middle class people.  They'll probably choose to move to a western country if they are not happy with the regime.

Sigh I think you are right.  I'll get anything but the status quo, I guess.  But that's for another day.  Right now, I "*just* want the roads to reopen.
