It contrasts Thatcher’s rhetoric with the narratives of Prime Minister Boris Johnson to examine shifts in British discourse over time. The analysis highlights racial demarcation and elitist discourses during the Thatcher era, compared with the Johnson administration’s focus on shared values. The paper argues that the current British National (Overseas) (BN(O)) scheme represents a significant reversal of historical policy missteps and recommends that the British government revisit the British Nationality Selection Scheme to extend citizenship to individuals who have fought for Hong Kong’s freedoms against a totalitarian state's encroachment but remain ineligible for the BN(O) scheme. This is a timely study that addresses a pressing issue, particularly in light of the recent political jailing of 45 Hong Kong politicians who participated in the primaries ahead of the 2020 Legislative Council election. 2026-06-16T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10453/195475 Title: Following Demosistō’s Call: Designing a UK-Based Hong Kong Referendum Authors: Wong, KH 2026-06-25T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10453/195311 Title: First Nations approaches to public relations: Resisting colonialist legacies of communication Authors: Clark, T; Holloway, J; Munshi, D 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z
