A political poster that is beyond satire, and another that falls victim to it in graffiti form

It's the week of funny political posters.

It's not clear whether the latest street posters put up by Lau Wong-fat are meant to be a self-parody or taken seriously. But after being let off for his failure to disclose a massive portfolio of land ownerships and property dealings, one of the city's the most politically connected men appears to fancy himself the saviour of the New Territories.

This poster (above), found in Sai Wan Hoi, asked: 'Which legislator has done the most to support New Territories development and heritage preservation?'

Start the drum rolls. It'ssssss ... of course Lau himself, at least according to the poster. Considering his undisputed status as the mega-landlord of the New Territories, the first claim about development is well justified. After all, all his trouble stemmed from his memory lapse in not remembering to declare hundreds of properties and plots of land he owns, most in the New Territories. But the claim about heritage? Perhaps he meant you have to bulldoze and destroy to save all those heritage sites?

Meanwhile, tourism legislator Paul Tse Wai-chun became an innocent bystander in the cat-and-mouse game between political graffiti artists in support of mainland jailed artist Ai Weiwei and Hong Kong police.

Someone painted over an official poster (below) of Tse in Sai Yeung Choi Street South, Mong Kok, with the question: 'Where is Ai Weiwei?'
