Doxxing on the Organiser of Cambridge University Protest
(17 Nov) Studentsā organisation at the University of #Cambridge organised a rally on Saturday at 2 pm. The objective for the rally was to demand the university to strip Carrie Lamās, Hong Kong Chief Executive, honorary fellowship. Hundreds of students rallied to the Senate House, then to the Wolfson College, where Lam once studied in. Demonstrators shouted slogans such as āFive demands, not one lessā and condemned police brutality.
The rally drew the attention of pro-Beijing people in the UK. They mobilised to go to Cambridge to counter-protest. These people waved the national flag of the Peopleās Republic of China and shouted āNo maskā to the demonstrators. The demonstrators responded ābanā. The whole sentence thus became āno mask banā.
Several students who planned the rally received threats. Chow, a third-year student who is studying Law at the University of Cambridge, said that his personal information such as email address was uploaded to mainlandās forum. His email was used for different subscriptions, resulted in hundreds of junk emails within one day. He also received threats. For example, someone called for Chinese netizens to āsend their regardsā. He once received an email with sentences like āyour mother is dead.ā

#Hongkongers across #UK pay tribute to #PoliceBrutality victims in #AntiELAB movement
On August 31, 2021, many HongKongers around UK assembled in #remembrance of the #831PrinceEdwardAttack, one of the most widely remembered incidents of police brutality during the 2019 Anti-ELAB movement.
In #Cambridge, around 100 Hongkongers gathered at Parkerās Piece to pledge their continued support for the democratic movement in Hong Kong. At the end of the gathering, a young boy played the protest song āGlory to Hong Kongā, which resonated well with the crowd.
In #Edinburgh, a small street-side exhibition of protest art was on display. Organizers also set up a small Lennon wall, and many Hongkongers left notes to express their suppressed feelings.
The "Liberate Hong Kong; Revolution of our Times" protest flag also flew at gatherings in #Reading and #Bristol, where Hongkongers assembled to pray, and find support and solidarity in each other.

The CCP training programme at the heart of Cambridge
Use the past to serve the present,ā declares the website of the China Centre of Jesus College, Cambridge. It seems a sensible motto, until you know that itās the first half of a maxim of Chairman Maoās, and that the second half is āmake the foreign serve Chinaā.
The China Centre is directed by Professor Peter Nolan, a fellow of Jesus and an expert on Chinaās economy. In the 1980s, he studied Chinaās collective farms and edited a volume that referred to itself as āa preliminary attempt to construct a new socialist political-economic strategy for Britainā.
