The protests in Thailand feature a wide muddle of grievances - but one unusual group of protesters yesterday headed for the United States embassy in Bangkok. It said (I am not making this up): "Your job in Hong Kong was good but it doesn't work for Thailand." * * *Free speech in Hong Kong is in trouble in one sector: cinemas. * * *Hong Kong University heads need to run mandatory lectures on Joseph McCarthy. * * *A Yuen Long resident last week boarded a Qatar Airlines flight to Hong Kong and was handed a transparent face shield.
