I can't believe it.
They took out the clock mechanism last night whilst we were sleeping. How dare they...does the Hong Kong Government think they do not need to be accountable to us? This is a slap in the face. Our plan to bring the clock expert over to HK is now on hold, now waiting to see what steps the campaigners in HK want to do next.
Patsy has informed me that Star Ferry has ordered their workers to tak the clock mechanism down and have stored it on a barge. The whole argument for NOT TAKING IT DOWN is that it requires a SPECIALIST to do it! If you get some stupid workmen, they will damage it and these things are very delicate! by breaking parts, you will either risk it not being able to be put back together, and compromising the WHOLE point of saving the mechanism as a cultural artifact.
She is trying to get Star Ferry to allow our expert to look at the mechanism, even if its been taken down, but no luck so far. They wont listen.
