网民轰唱衰香港
英国《每日邮报》昨在网上发表了十张由澳洲摄影师拍摄的香港笼屋图片，标题为「香港笼狗」，内文提到香港是世上最富裕城市之一，但有黑暗一面，数千人住在面积只有四呎乘两呎半的笼屋。《每日邮报》又说，笼屋在港是几十年的房屋问题，却未有消失，香港经济只是集中金融服务，很多人无处容身，若不住笼屋便要露宿街头。
但《每日邮报》的图文将笼屋居民形容为「狗」，却引起港人反感，网民「废人3539」将有关内容张贴在高登讨论区，指「香港又扬威海外了」，引起讨论。「送大礼被喂屎」说：「强烈抵制英国佬影衰香港，伤害香港巿民感情！香港政府仲唔组团去英国，将英国最穷嘅一面影落嚟发畀香港人睇。」
「薯仔男」则称：「根本英国从来无当香港系自己人，成日唱衰香港，以白人嘅心态去丑化中国人，佢哋英国自己国内都好多问题未解决啦，无啦啦走去报道香港，想转移视线？都唔知D白人咩居心。」

Cage dogs of Hong Kong: The tragedy of tens of thousands living in 6ft by 2ft rabbit hutches - in a city with more Louis Vuitton shops than Paris
By DAMIEN GAYLE
Hong Kong, one of the world's richest cities, is abuzz with a luxury property boom that has seen homes exchanged for record sums.
But the wealth of the city has a darker side, with tens of thousands priced out of housing altogether and forced to live in the most degrading conditions.
These pictures by British photographer Brian Cassey capture the misery of people - some estimates put the figure as high as 100,000 - who are forced to live in cages measuring just 6ft by 2 1/2ft.
Yan Chi Leung is mentally ill and lives in the 6ft by 2.5ft wire cage at the bottom of this stack of three
Kong Sui Kao, 64, sits in his home in a room with 19 other cages
The city is one of the planet's most densely packed metropolitan areas, with nearly 16,500 people living in every square mile of the territory.
Unscrupulous landlords are charging around US$200 a month for each cage, which are packed 20 to a room, and up to three levels high.
The lower cages are more expensive because you can almost stand inside them, but the conditions are no less squalid.
All this in a city with more Louis Vuitton shops than Paris.
Tai Lun Po, 79, has lived in the cage he is sitting in for an extraordinary 30 years
Eight-year-old Lee Ka Ying lives in a 6ft square 'cubicle cage home' with her mother
Yan Chi Keung eats takeaway outside his wire cage home - there are no cooking facilities
Tai Lun Po walks to the bathroom which he shares with the other residents
Occupants must share toilets and washing facilities, which are rudimentary. Many of the apartments have no kitchens, forcing their impoverished residents to spend there meagre incomes on takeaway food.
The cage homes have been a running scandal in Hong Kong's housing market for decades, yet rather than disappear, they are on the rise.
As the world economic crisis has lashed the city a former British territory whose economy is focused on financial services, more have been forced to turn to them for a place to stay.
The alternative is life on the streets.

Tai Lun Po walks the corridors of his Mongkok Hong Kong cage home
Tang Man Wai, 60, a retired restaurant worker, is forced to spend what little money he has on take-away food

One cage dweller, Cheung, who lives in Sham Shui Po, told the Asia Times Online he endures appallingly cramped and fetid conditions.
'The temperature inside the cages can be two to three degrees higher than what they are outside,' he said.
'It's really uncomfortable, and sometimes I cannot sleep until after 5 in the morning.'
Cockroaches, wall lizards, lice and rats are common. 'Sometimes I am worried if lizards or cockroaches will crawl into my ears at night,' said Cheung. | L*****s

roof.
Around 1.5 million homeless as US enters 2011.
The number of homeless people appears to be even more astonishing in China,
surpassing 200 million according to a rough estimate. | g**********n
