Hungary can ‘no longer be considered a full democracy,’ says EU Parliament
roquefort replied to Scott's topic in World News
Once you give powers to government and big tech to decide arbitrarily what is "harmful" and what can or cannot be said online, you're on the same slippery slope to where Hungary is today. -

So something like this then? https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-59509702 -

After the UK, Hungary will likely be the next domino to fall in the splintering of the anti-democratic power grab that is the Brussels bureaucracy (EU Commission). Once the full force of their idiotic energy policies comes back to bite them this winter, expect the break up to accelerate as people take to the streets in protest at the Davos elites and their Great Reset.- 224 replies

Thanks for your concern, but I know how to be diplomatic.

Chaiyaphum immigration say the same thing. But I will try to change their mind when I go next month with the document from Ubonjoe in hand.

Do you have a link to the written rules for this please? I'd like to show it to my IO who insist on 12 months of transfers.

First Thai team, led by Thanathorn, completes Mont-Blanc trail run
roquefort replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Quite right, I was thinking in feet instead of metres. That's a phenomenal achievement then. -

....would take them almost to the summit of Everest. Presumably here are also some descents? -
Could you afford to live in the UK compared to Thailand?
roquefort replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Changing seasons instead of the monotony of hot and wet or hot and dry, beautiful architecture of old towns and villages instead of the uniform drabness in Thailand, not having to sit behind someone driving at 20mph in the outside lane, being able to sit outside with a beer in summer till 11pm while its still light and without getting bitten to death, vast choice of theatre, concerts, art galleries and museums if that's your thing. One man's meat is another man's poison. There's no one size fits all answer, it's wherever you feel happiest. -
To sell or not to sell, that is the question for Thai Expats

And the point of the OP is? That you can't predict the future? -
Liz Truss will 'deliver' on Boris Johnson's tax cuts, says Kwasi Kwarteng
roquefort replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
The topic in your post was corruption, law breaking and incompetence. I've just given you an example of the second one. I could also give you examples of the other two, but I'd probably be wasting my breath. -

And the other one doesn't? How about the illegal invasion of Iraq for starters? -

Austerity, aka living within your means (which incidentally they didn't even achieve). -

Exactly. The current crop of politicians on both sides is the worst in living memory. Believing that changing one set of clowns for another is going to improve anything is living in cloud cuckoo land. -
(UK) Ambulance services branded on brink of collapse

Are you seriously suggesting we would not be in this mess if Diane Abbott had been in charge? -
Thailand in the rules-based International Order
roquefort replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Of course. Anyone who questions US hegemony must be a communist. -
Savile certainly. Churchill - not sure how you get to that conclusion. Yes, he made plenty of gaffes, but can you honestly see Britain winning WW2 with Chamberlain or Halifax at the helm (they were the alternatives at the time, along with Attlee, who Churchill famously described as "a sheep in sheep's clothing"). As for Thatcher - how exactly did she con the British public? You may not like her policies, but she did exactly what she promised to do at three general elections.

Should Thailand buy oil and gas from Russia and Iran?
roquefort replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Something like a Special Military Operation then? -
Thanks for the ID. I spotted lots of them on Laguna golf course in Phuket and wondered what they were. Stunning birds.
