I had failed to find a copy of said manifesto. Inside that final file at the LSE Archives - located not far from Fleet Street - I finally found a copy. You never know what you're going to find in the archives.
Researchers may know about UMELCO's delegation to London in May 1984. But another group also visited that month: led by Dr L. K. Ding, they sought a cautious move towards elected representation and launched a manifesto in a "church hall off Fleet Street" (SCMP 9 May 1984) (2/3)
Recently, I visited the @LSELibrary Archives and Special Collections to view six folders. The first five were not particularly useful, unfortunately. But in the last half hour of opening hours in the final folder of the day at the very back of the file was a gold nugget. (1/3)
Nice to see my paper 'Hong Kong Colonial Government Migrated Archives at Hanslope Park' mentioned in this 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘗𝘢𝘰 article about the new edition of Florence Mok's excellent book 𝘊𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘵 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘮 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

New blog post out with @COMPAS_oxford ! In view of the UK’s proposed changes to the Hong Kong BN(O) visa scheme, I question how the Home Office defines “contribution” and “integration” in its border regime. Link below. #MigrationPolicy #PublicPolicy #UKImmigration #BNOVisa
