工聯會黃國健：反對捐款者，其心可誅（主場新聞 2013-4-24）

立法會財委會討論撥款 1 億元援助四川地震災區。工聯會議員黃國健發言時指，反對捐款的人別有用心，挑撥中港關係，以偏概全，借口事件發洩對中央不滿，利用災難做政治目的攻擊，其心可誅。

在HK$100,000,000捐款與HK$2,200長者生活津貼之間

林鄭：善用資源符港長遠利益 （香港文匯報訊 2012/10/08）

特區政府提出向有需要長者發放相等於雙倍「生果金」的特惠長者生活津貼，每月為 2,200元，而申領人須通過資產審查……部分政黨及政團「威脅」稱，倘當局不撤銷資產審查，他們或會反對有關撥款。特區政務司司長林鄭月娥昨日強調，香港社會的共識是，公帑應聚焦幫助最有需要的人士……撤銷審查機制，並不符合香港的長遠利益……倘將有關津貼隨意改作全民、無分長者有需要或沒需要都可申領的話，並不符合香港長遠的利益，故她「看不到一個可以隨意像是議價的態度去做（的理由）」。

林鄭：求設監察機制不切實際 （新報 2012/10/08）

立法會財委會特別會議昨早召開兩小時，仍未能對政府要求追加撥款一億元，注資賑災基金，援助四川雅安市蘆山縣7級地震災民，作出表決……林鄭月娥回應指……即使港府捐出一億，對蘆山地震而言亦只屬「杯水車薪」……林鄭月娥回應，港府不可以直接介入內地制度如何監管……若今次捐助一億元而要求正在疲於奔命做救災的省政府，為香港政府撥款一億元做一個監察機制，恐怕是不切實際。

學校圍牆外的女孩

2月27日下午，張安妮被幾名國保從學校帶走，
後被帶到派出所單獨關押3個多小時。

"Is it Stealing if it's Already Stolen?"

出自科幻電影《In Time》的對白

Ballad of the Miners' Strike

因為葵涌貨櫃碼頭工人罷工，所以我想起：

(20130402.01)
當21世紀的現實越來越像查理士狄更斯19世紀的小說，
我記得李藍那時聽Billy Bragg，還有NME常常大篇大篇報導煤礦工人罷工的文章.

This government had an idea
And parliament made it law
It seems like it's illegal
To fight for the union any more

Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?

We set out to join the picket line
For together we cannot fail
We got stopped by police at the county line
They said, "Go home boys or you're going to jail"

Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?

It's hard to explain to a crying child
Why her Daddy can't go back
So the family suffer
But it hurts me more
To hear a scab say Sod you, Jack

Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on, boys
Which side are you on?

I'm bound to follow my conscience
And do whatever I can
But it'll take much more than the union law
To knock the fight out of a working man

Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?

忽然
好想好想重聽Robert Wyatt的“Shipbuilding”起來。

Is it worth it?
A new winter coat and shoes for the wife
And a bicycle on the boy's birthday.

It's just a rumor that was spread around town
By the women and children, soon we'll be shipbuilding

Well I ask you
The boy said 'Dad, they're going to take me to task
But I'll be home by Christmas.

It's just a rumor that was spread around town
Somebody said that someone got filled in
For saying that people get killed in
The results of their shipbuilding.

With all the will in the world
Diving for dear life
When we could be diving for pearls.

It's just a rumor that was spread around town
A telegram for a picture postcard
Within weeks they'll be reopening the shipyard
And notifying the next of kin
Once again.

It's all we're skilled in
We will be shipbuilding.

With all the will in the world
Diving for dear life
When we could be diving for pearls.
