曾在梁振英上任前夕接受香港電台節目《頭條新聞》訪問，寄語香港人要小心在意，確保自由不會一點一點的被侵蝕的末代港督彭定康，為國務院的白皮書開腔，評擊白皮書干預香港的司法獨立。" \" w; R* A: y- R, i4 x& ]4 G

末代港督同時也質疑白皮書中提出，《中英聯合聲明》中把香港主權移交中國不是「聯合」的看法，「《中英聯合聲明》是中國和英國就保證香港的自由及在法治下多元化50年不變的一個國際協議，所以港人如果認為這個雙方簽署的條約受到質疑甚至破壞，表達關注是完全合理的事情」，他認為香港人有權利提出抗議。1 q; @# e6 e& B- Q% h. B. a2 K

Chris Patten, the former British governor of Hong Kong, has waded into a heated debate about the territory’s relationship with Beijing by accusing China of trying to undermine judicial independence in the global financial centre.5.39.217.76% S/ V a6 H9 ]- z) S# W

Lord Patten has generally avoided commenting on Hong Kong since he oversaw the handover to China in 1997. But he said he felt compelled to speak out because of a recent Chinese “white paper” that said Hong Kong judges should be “patriotic” – which critics interpret as being loyal to the Communist party. 1 r8 O; n l* }/ j& btvb now,tvbnow,bttvb* ?# `4 ]- I5 I8 q

Patten has evaded the responsibility of the British Government (being one of the signees of the Sino-British Joint Declaration) and only emphasizes the right of the people of Hong Kong to voice their wish for universal suffrage. The current British Government has absolute moral obligation to fend that right for Hong Kong people, but instead she chooses to remain silent, succumbing to the enormous economic benefit from China. The massive turnout on 1st July seems to be in vain, the government is as uncompromising as ever. The frustration and helplessness overhanging the city are suffocating but in this crucial moment, we must turn them into resolve. The fight must go on.! w: J: u8 K% X6 p6 k. q1 E+ C- ]

適逢今年是第一次世界大戰爆發的百週年紀念，英國歷史學界亦藉此機會重新探討，這場塑造現今國際形勢戰爭的「正統地位」。英國廣播公司（BBC）與《經濟學人》最近均有文章指出，大家印象中的「第一次世界大戰」，其實並非第一次世界大戰；而真正的第一次世界大戰，卻是於18世紀中葉的七年戰爭（Seven Years’ War）。那場戰爭，涉及當時世上的主要強國，而且戰場遍及歐洲、北美、中美洲、西非海岸、印度以至菲律賓，是為貨真價實的「世界大戰」。0 q3 U X: U }& J# `

那麼何以「第一次世界大戰」會是第一次世界大戰呢？事實上，這個稱謂的起源，不過是後世用以區別「第二次世界大戰」而已。縱觀第一次世界大戰，主戰場仍在歐洲，實在稱不上是世界大戰。只是，後來歷史學家看到箇中脈絡，驗明這場戰爭是直接引起第二次世界大戰的導火線，是以用「第一次世界大戰」名之。須知道，第一次世界大戰原本叫做「大戰爭」（The Great War）－－在字面上或許有異，卻造就了截然不同的觀感。TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。 l6 t( L+ K5 o

追本溯源，有時候把事物退一步來看，視野原來可以豁然開朗。如今在北京積極的游說之下，很多人都異口同聲說香港的「一國兩制」源於《基本法》，甚至民主進程亦復如是。然而，與其說一切源於《基本法》，毋寧說一切源於《中英聯合聲明》。凡此種種，假若片面解讀「一國兩制」而漠視當初《中英聯合聲明》訂下的承諾，情況儼如訛稱「第一次世界大戰」之流的喧賓奪主。世界歷史如此說，而香港在這樣的大洪流之中，又會怎樣？TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。& T: o5 ]# c1 Q/ B- W& Y& e. L
