太極門案本身就具有莎士比亞戲劇的所有元素。然而，由於缺乏結果，問題出現了：現代議會的戲劇性質是否導致一些國會議員做出他們後來忘記的承諾？有多少人畢竟只是想討好那些在選舉中有投票權的弟子？有多少是真心誠意，努力為太極門伸張正義的？可能很多都是，但議會的戲劇性質總是令人對這些演出產生懷疑。太極門案中，我們再次看到數百名議員要求迫害太極門的流氓稅務和執行官僚停止他們明顯的違法行為，可是他們沒有得到回應，數以百計的立法委員出面了—也沒有任何結果。

承蒙新地邀請，小弟往後會在新地公益垂直跑SHKP VERTICAL RUN FOR CHARITY每月介紹一本關於體育的好書，希望大家多多支持！

打頭炮的是足球。英超剛完，英國大選又如箭在弦，此刻閱讀這本談論英格蘭足球與社會關係的著作最是合適。這本書，真心值得推薦。披閱之際，除了使自己對英格蘭社會認識加深之外，更想起自己這二十幾年看英超的無數經典片段。

老球迷哦，以前球星比自己大，現在球星都是小朋友了。

《足球帝國——一窺英格蘭社會的華麗與蒼涼》
The Game of Our Lives: The Meaning and Making of English Football
作者：大衛．哥德布拉特（David Goldblatt）

布萊克（William Blake）的名句：「從一粒沙看世界，從一朵花見天堂。」（To see a World in a Grain of Sand. And a Heaven in a Wild Flower.）這位英倫詩人想說的是：見微，足以知著。用一個新穎角度觀察，使我們對事情了解得更透徹之餘，其實也饒富趣味。

舉個例吧，英格蘭足球在香港有不少球迷，又有沒有想過藉著它可洞察英國社會的方方面面？今次為大家介紹的《足球帝國》，就是如此一部著作。

足球號稱英國國技，而它的影響力在英國社會亦是年深月久。作者大衛‧哥德布拉特是知名的英國運動作家，尤精於足球題材寫作。他在這本書以足球為鏡，洋洋灑灑大談在足球世界反映出來「後戴卓爾年代」的英國面貌，當中包括經濟、城市身份、種族、統獨、管治與性別等議題。

400多頁的厚重篇幅下，作者充分展示了他對英國足球與社會的認識。不讀不知道，原來英國社會的諸多現象都可在足球世界中洞察。例如作者直指英格蘭國家隊近年表現疲弱根源是足總管理不善，情況一如近代英國政府水平。不難看出，這是作者「愛之深，責之切」的呼聲了。

此書中譯本面世不久，但其實原書早於2015年初出版。球迷讀者如果將新近兩年發生的英國足壇大事（例如李斯特城奇蹟奪冠）對照閱讀，相信更會另有一番體會。英國大選在即，脫歐也是如箭在弦，在這個歷史關口下，《足球帝國》這本書讀來實在別具意味。

筆者簡介：蝦叔，愛閱讀，愛寫作，愛運動。期待未來以一雙腳和一枝筆，繼續從體育探索世界。

The Game of Our Lives: The Meaning and Making of English Football by David Goldblatt

The quote “To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower” from English poet William Blake muses about getting an understanding of the larger condition by observing small things, and in the same way the English football can be said to reflect the development of British society. Sports writer David Goldblatt tells how the national sport mirrors the state of affairs in post-Thatcher Britain in The Game of Our Lives: The Meaning and Making of English Football.

The book of over 400 pages covers the British economy, city identity, nationality, unification and independence, along with governance and gender, with Goldblatt’s observations demonstrating his familiarity with football trends and British society. At one point he compares the ineffectiveness of the British government with the mismanagement in the English Football Association that has produced poor performances by the England national team in recent years. His criticisms echo a Chinese saying: love well, chide well.

As the book was published in early 2015, football fans will find the book even more illuminating if they look back on major happenings in the English football world over the last two years such as Leicester City’s shock Premier League win that surprised many. With Britain about to hold a general election and Brexit looking inevitable, The Game of Our Lives: The Meaning and Making of English Football may give readers food for thought.

About the writer: Uncle Shrimp loves reading, writing and athletics and hopes he can continue exploring the world through sports.

三跑規劃諮詢，城規會收到過12200份申述反對修訂，只有幾份支持，說明整個規劃有幾荒謬反智。
而家去到「就申述提交意見」的步驟（城規程序係咁），大家可於星期一晚前提交意見（要寫清楚就邊個申述提交意見）。所有提過申述同就申述提過意見的都有得上城規會直接講意見。
講公民規劃權，就要響呢啲程序上都不能放過。大家可參考「人人監機會」意見信，或自行到城規會網頁一覽各個申述摘要：

http://www.info.gov.hk/tpb/tc/plan_making/draft_plan.html
（可直接在以上網頁交意見，搵赤鱲角張圖）

城規會就三跑規劃進行公眾諮詢，在大家努力下第一輪諮詢有超過12,200份的反對申述，只有四份的支持申述。但程序尚未完成，第二次公眾諮詢即將結束，正反雙方要再就對方申述提出意見，切勿輕視每個程序，對手有機會反動員更多的支持意見，所以請花幾分鐘時間再發表意見，以下是人人監機會的範本，可供大家參考，電郵至 tpbpd@pland.gov.hk , 記住九月七日，即星期一晚上11時59分就會截止。

Please make your comment on Representations in respect of Draft Chek Lap Kok Outline Zoning Plan No.S/I-CLK/13 by sending your email to tpbpd@pland.gov.hk before 11:59PM 7th September, next Monday. Below we provide you with the sample letter, please select the points randomly.

Comment on Representations In Respect of Draft Chek Lap Kok Outline Zoning Plan No.S/I-CLK/13
赤鱲角分區計劃大綱圖S/I-CLK/13三跑規劃就申述提出意見
The following comments are made under Section 6A(1) of the Town Planning Ordinance (TPO) in respect of the representations.
以下意見是根據城規條例6A（1)而作出的：
Comment on Representations No. TPB/R/S/I-CLK/13-1 to 4

1. The representations support the 3R System (3RS) as Hong Kong needs the 3RS to sustain competitiveness and growth. The support has been made on the basis that the 3RS would achieve the target capacity as claimed by Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK). It must be pointed out that there is serious doubt that the 3RS would be able to achieve its target capacity as explained in Representation No. TPB/R/S/I-CLK/1-392 and many other representations. In this regard the support is not substantiated.
支持三跑系統的申述認為香港需要多一條跑道提升競爭力，這純粹建基於機管局單方面認為三跑系統可以達至預期容量。但我們必須指出，有很多的意見，包括TPB/R/S/I-CLK/1-392對機管局所作的預測有嚴重的質疑，所以支持者的意見並非建基於實質的理據。

2. The representations support the 3RS because of constraint of runway capacity and that the 3RS is required for Hong Kong’s medium to long-term demand and maintain competitiveness of HKIA from other airports in the region. There are other alternatives which may increase the runway capacity of the airport. The AAHK however has failed to explain to the general public what action or thorough studies they have undertaken to identify the most feasible one in terms of environmental, social as well as economic impact. And the process of how the 3RS becomes AAHK’s most favourable scheme and the criteria for which the alternatives were assessed have not been disclosed to the public. In other words the selection process has not been conducted in a transparent manner. It is thus very doubtful whether the 3RS is the most feasible option to address the problem of capacity constraint.
支持申述認為雙跑系統將近飽和，三跑可滿足香港中至長期的航運需求，有助維持區內競爭力。事實上，提升目前雙跑容量的方法未必只有一個，只是機管局一直拒絕公開當中的研究過程，從而達至一個最符合環保、社會及經濟效益的方案。機管局所推銷的三跑方案，是經過甚麼準則，如何篩選出來，公眾一無所知。換言之，這是一個黑箱作業的過程，根本無法解釋三跑的效益，因而引發外界的質疑。

3. Representation No. TPB/R/S/I-CLK/13-3 opine that the expanded airport combined with Tung Chung New Town Extension Development would be emerged for a new tourism hub for PRD region with retail and commercial facilities. The prime purpose of the HKIA, as stipulated in the Airport Authority Ordinance, shall, with the objective of maintaining Hong Kong’s status as a centre of international and regional aviation, provide, operate, develop and maintain an airport at and in the vicinity of Chek Lap Kok for civil aviation. The support is therefore based on wrong premise.
申述書TPB/R/S/I-CLK/13-3指出機場擴建是要結合東涌新市鎮發展配合相關的零售和商業配套成為新的旅遊樞鈕。而根據機管局條例，機場的核心業務並非如此，而是要保持香港作為國際和區域航空樞鈕的地位，由此可見，支持者的意見建基於錯誤的前提。

4. Representation No. TPB/R/S/I-CLK/13-3 also consider the EIA thorough and well-balanced and that the proposed marine park will ensure the prosperity of marine life. It was shown that after completion of infrastructure projects Chinese White Dolphin has been observed to repopulate the region soon after completion of works. Such support is stemmed from misunderstanding on the quality of the EIA report content, which has been challenged by many dolphin experts and environmentalists for its incompliance of the EIA Ordinance during the public inspection period. In fact, the decision to approve the EIA report by EPD is now subject of judicial review and is awaiting the ruling of the court. The challenge is based on the inadequacy of the EIA report to properly address the construction phase impact on the local dolphins, and ineffectiveness of proposed compensation measures with very little evidence the local dolphin population would recover from such massive habitat loss at the 3RS footprint. It is a consensus among the leading dolphin experts, environmentalists and ACE members that the proposed marine park to be established after the seven-year long construction would not be adequate to compensate for the habitat loss to the dolphins.
申述書中No. TPB/R/S/I-CLK/13-3認為，環評報告和建議的海岸公園已平衡了海洋生態的影響，中華白海豚會在工程完成後重新返回棲息地。有關的看法是源於對環評報告的錯誤理解，因為環評報告已被多名海洋生態學者和保育人士批評違反了環評條例，同時亦面對司法覆核的挑戰正等候法庭審訊。其中一個重要論點正是挑戰環評報告忽略補償於建造期間所造成的海洋生態影響，環評報告根本無法證明，所提的的措施可有效回復中華白海豚因三跑工程而失去的棲息地。

It is noticed that apart from Representations No. TPB/R/S/I-CLK/13-1 to 4 the remaining of the over 12,200 representations object to the 3RS on various reasons such as disturbance to villages and communities in the neighbourhood of the airport. The Board should give due consideration to these representations and AAHK should consider mitigation measures before the project should proceed further. The safety issues mentioned at, among others, Representations No. TPB/R/S/I-CLK/13-400 should be dealt with thoroughly and all relevant studies mentioned should be undertaken and considered by the Board. The reasons mentioned at all other representations should also be considered thoroughly by the Board otherwise should the 3RS materialize and fail to achieve its target capacity the Board and relevant Government departments will be held responsible.
超過12200份反對的申述中，其中包括對於鄰近居民及社區所造成的各種滋擾影響，委員會應給予適切的回應及機管局在工程進一步發展前考慮給予補償或減輕影響的措施。同時，申述書 No. TPB/R/S/I-CLK/13-400所提出的安全問題亦應徹底處理。委員會應認真處理所有意見書提出的理據，否則三跑落實後而又未能達至預測的效益，則城規會及相關政府部門要負上責任。

In view of the above it will be premature to proceed with the amendments to the Draft Plan further and that the Board should propose amendments to delete the amendments to the Draft Chek Lap Kok Outline Zoning Plan No.S/I-CLK/13.
基於以上的反對意見，圖則的修訂過早提出。城規應 刪除所有的修訂。

Not our sacrifices, but His sacrifice. Not our self-righteousness, but His righteousness. And not our accomplishments, but His superabounding grace! Enjoy a panoramic view of the Bible with Joseph Prince as he shows you how throughout the Bible it's always been none of us and all of Christ. Whether it's salvation, righteousness or blessings, God wants us to depend on His unmerited favor a hundred percent, leaving no room for self-effort, which leads to stress and disappointment. Rest in Christ as your only identity, provision and refuge, and put an end to condemnation, comparison, insecurity and ineffectiveness today!
