The streets of Hong Kong were thronged with tens of thousands of protestors and protest groups as the annual 1 July protest march peacefully and bluntly displayed people’s anger at CY Leung and his incompetent group of Beijing loving sycophants.

That so many groups with such wide ranging causes can find common cause and anger at 689’s incompetence, greed and destruction of Hong Hong explains why Beijing is cracking down so hard on freedom of the press.

One of Hong Kong’s ‘disappeared’ bookseller Lam Wing-Kee was supposed to lead the march, but pulled out at the last minute over the personal safety fears for him and his family.

A heavy presence of fully armed, pepper spray carrying and gloved up police looked to make the day as irritating as possible for marchers, groups and the general public.
