Hong Kong has been betrayed. It seems Disney has been sneaking around with Shanghai and the Philippines.
Lai See is enjoying a sinister chuckle over the whole farce. At last, the gooey love talk has stopped.
We recall these, from more naive times: 'Walt Disney and the Government have progressed from casual dating to serious courting,' Hong Kong bid chief Mike Rowse said. 'But both sides are sincere and would like to see an eventual marriage.' Then Secretary for Economic Services Stephen Ip Shu-kwan said the two had made 'a declaration of love'.
Lai See raised a cynical eyebrow when Donald Tsang Yam-kuen began alluding to a 'dowry'.
But Hong Kong still believed she'd found a monogamous relationship.
The SAR wouldn't even look at other theme parks, Mr Rowse said.
'When a couple only has eyes for each other, we each have what the other finds attractive.' Lai See has heard that one before.
