Well isn't that funny! You seem to know what people are thinking. Mostly those who don't agree with your outlook on life.

What utter rubbish.
Bodd is inventing things because he relies on deceit to support his points.

what sort of gain am I trying for?
China was Communist HK was a British Crown Colony. Most long established Chinese in the UK descend from HK. Its only recent that you will find immigrants from the mainland who speak mainly Mandarin HK speakers Cantonese

I suggest you check your facts before coming out with your assumptions claimed to be fact, just because it suits your argument.
Anyone who claims to know the facts, but are easily proven wrong, risks their argument, their credibility and their integrity.

I've not googled. Admitting that I'm going by life experience. But your free to prove Me wrong
I agree.
Sadly you spend your time on here criticising others, often without doing research first. When you are proved wrong you wont admit it.
Its reason why so many have put you on ignore. You think its a badge of honour, in reality its a badge very different

Typical, you make a claim as though it is fact, relying on it to be disproven. Otherwise you will claim it as fact.
The moon is made of cheese.
There are a large group of Chinese from HK, but it is not the majority.
Most Chinese in the UK are descended from previous expat Chinese from other places, including UK born, as well as HK, such as Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, etc.

There is, as far as I know, no census data available that indicates the origins of current Chinese in UK, for you to make such an assumption, other than that the majority are UK born.
What data is available is based on anecdotal and historical assumptions. Your 'life experience' excluded.
But the early Chinese settlers were ex-sailors, from Shanghai, Guangzhou Canton and Northern and southern China.
The last time I looked those places were not in Hong Kong.

I see eeyore wants to reduce the discussion into a rant against me again.I agree.

Can you not see that at least bodd and I are arguing about data and facts, but your comment is pure ranting at me, not a thing about data or facts?
Troll, troll troll away, gently down the stream.

Incidentally, the Chinese in the Merchant Navy were treated abominably after the WW2
"After the Second World War was over, with: the UK's infrastructure dilapidated, especially an acute housing shortage after the extensive Nazi Luftwaffe bombing of ports; the shipping companies facing newly launched low-cost competition from the Netherlands and Scandinavia; rising crimes levels associated with the opium trade; and the expected break-up of the former British Empire; the British Government and the shipping companies colluded to forcibly repatriate thousands of Chinese seamen. Most Chinese seamen were employed by the Anglo-Saxon Petroleum Co Ltd and the Blue Funnel Line, who to legally enable the expatriation of their Chinese seaman, in 1946 forcibly administratively changed the home ports of all of their Chinese workers from the UK back to Asian-based ports within the influence of the British Empire, mainly Hong Hong, Shanghai and Singapore. If seaman refused to be repatriated, they were then legally pursued by the police and the courts with deportation orders. Once repatriated to Asia, with resultant over-staffing, most of the Chinese crews were fired. Many of the seamen left behind wives and mixed-race children that they would never see again. More than 50 years later in 2006, a memorial plaque in remembrance for those Chinese seamen was erected on Liverpool's Pier Head."

Which kind of explains why it might appear that many are descended from HK.
That kind of behaviour by the UK government continues today, with army translators (Iraq, Afghanistan), Gurkhas, Windrush, etc.
