LETTER TO SCMP
One doesn't have to be a pro-Beijing stooge to be fed up with the shocking violence on our streets. Violence perpetrated by a loud minority.
Where is the poll of Hong Kongers to find out what our quiet majority thinks? In 2014 you commissioned a poll which showed an "overwhelming majority" (83%) wanted the Occupy protests to end.

Our own straw poll suggests the same overwhelming majority today are sick and tired of the violent protesters and their inchoate aims.
And no wonder.
Just look at the news in your own paper: retail sales plunging, property transactions tumbling, business confidence eroding, local and international commuters hindered. This can't go on.
The protesters say they are concerned about Beijing's tightening rule. If they keep going with their violent protests they're about to find out.
Let's have a new poll and be guided by the HK majority, not the minority, the self-deluded and increasingly violent protesters.
PF etc.
