    So? From what I can see, HK is more independent from China than the UK is from the EU :)

    Hilarious! You do realise nearly half of UK GDP is made up of government spending? We're looking to tax people earning £41,450 at the higher rate and yet are barely able to pass a cap on benefits that leaves households earning an equivalent £35,000.

    £42K, you're well off, £35K for those on welfare. And they're the communists...

    Also, it's City not Soviet.
