'I packed everything in two or three days and came over. Full of hope I could rebuild everything here. The reality is devastating.' Hong Kongers warn of 'social conflict' as new arrivals to UK struggle to find jobs and housing

He says:"A lot of local people feel the same. After the pandemic they got back to the high street and they kind of feel 'hey it's different' because there are a lot of new faces, especially Chinese and Hong Konger faces."

Mr Wong says:"Some of our friends and relatives have also come to the UK - especially Sutton and especially those with kids." She told us:"The demand is very high and the available flats or houses is pretty limited so I started to recognise Sutton is not easy to find an available place to live in. But luckily, praise God I found some Hong Kong people are helping."

Eric Wong came nine months ago and had never been to the UK before. He left behind a successful business selling tea leaves but brought with him his entrepreneurial spirit. With his money having run out Enoch says he's now homeless - staying on people's floors and sofas - and reliant on food banks and hand-outs.

Now Enoch says he feels betrayed by the British government because he says he can't afford to apply for the visa or the healthcare costs associated with it. "But I am personally concerned there are some people who need to come out of Hong Kong who don't qualify for the BNO route and I want to make sure we are equally hospitable to those people - that that's based on need rather than geniality or financial status.

光复英国,时代革命,哈哈

Most people can see the 'support' UK and U.S. claimed had been long gone.

Dear Hong Kongers, You will find the UK is a racist little cesspit with low pay, poor working conditions, atrocious weather and the lowest state pension in the developed world. Save yourselves from hell while you still have a choice.

As it is migrants are finding it hard to get housed find jobs, not what was expected when being told to go to UK.

Told you, reality. However, for this one time, isn't there lots of un-filled jobs due to pandemic/Brexit dislocation!?

Go back home then.

Not gone home tho..

Should have come in a dinghy. You would have been given everything.
