This video is absolutely hilarious.
I preferred it when Rod Stewart sung
lovely songs such as ‘Sailing,’
‘Mull of Kintyre’ and ‘Margaret May.’
Now he’s become all radicalised, wallpapering his rooms in animal skin and sending back his gongs.

You might ask why the Sec. for Security is talking about a civilian fire, but that's so any criticism of the horse hockey he's shoveling can be branded a threat to national security. I'm sincerely surprised they haven't just blamed Jimmy Lai.

Secretary for Security Chris Tang:
⚠️ The protective nets' fire-protection performed up to spec, but the foam boards installed on windows surrounding the buildings were highly flammable.
The extreme heat caused the windows to burst, allowing the fire to enter buildings
