英國身為締約國之一，多年來一直對北京政府干預香港自治的行為視若無睹。今年二月初提交英國國會的香港半年報告書，竟還稱一國兩制原則於報告期間在香港運作良好，以及《中英聯合聲明》所承諾的權利及自由繼續受到尊重。此舉無異於妄顧現實，自欺欺人。而駐港總領事奚安竹先生，竟向行政長官選舉當選者梁振英祝賀，並對香港政府的民主發展進程表示歡迎，實在令人憤慨。英國政府上述的言行，形同默許香港的畸形政制及所帶來的禍害，亦無視政權易手十多年來中共屢次違反承諾及失信於民的事實。現時本港仍有數百萬合資格的BN(O)持有人，英國政府斷無道理棄之而不顧。身為《中英聯合聲明》的締約國，英國政府更有責任向違約一方提出嚴正交涉。
香港自治運動強烈譴責英國政府未有履行其在《中英聯合聲明》下締約國的責任，並促請英國政府根據國際慣例介入，嚴肅正視《中英聯合聲明》失效一事，及協助解決香港現正面臨之危機。

Hong Kong Autonomy Movement Condemns the United Kingdom for Failure of Duty as a Signatory of the Sino-British Joint Declaration
In the past few weeks, it has been widely reported that the Chinese Liaison Office in Hong Kong and other Chinese Government officials have blatantly manipulated and interfered in the 2012 Hong Kong Chief Executive Election by pressurising the voters as well as the local media.
The Sino-British Joint Declaration ("the Joint Declaration") expressly provides that "the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will enjoy a high degree of autonomy, except in foreign and defence affairs which are the responsibilities of the Central People's Government". This is one of the basic policies of the Chinese Government regarding Hong Kong, and is also the essence of the Joint Declaration. The Chinese Government's interference in Hong Kong's autonomy demonstrates its failure and/or refusal to honour its promises under the Joint Declaration, and amounts to a fundamental breach of the Joint Declaration. By now, it is clear that "One Country, Two Systems" is but an empty promise, and the Joint Declaration can now be declared repudiated.
It is most regrettable that the British Government has been looking the other way all along. The Six-monthly Report to Parliament on Hong Kong published by the British Government in February 2012 stated that the "One Country, Two Systems" principle has worked well and that the rights and freedoms guaranteed in the Joint Declaration have been respected. That is most irresponsible and self-deceiving on the part of the British Government. By condoning Beijing's violations of the Joint Declaration, the British Government has evinced its disregard for the interests of three million British Nationals in Hong Kong, and its unwillingness to take up any responsibility as a signatory of the Joint Declaration.
Hong Kong Autonomy Movement condemns the British Government for its failure to discharge its duty as a signatory of the Joint Declaration, and urges the British Government to step in in accordance with international conventions and help resolve the crisis currently faced by Hong Kong.
