    It was not Assange who put lives at risk. He went to great lengths to redact names and any other information that could identify individuals at risk. It was two Guardian 'journalists' who later published the unredacted files.

    You seriously overestimate the competence of the UK government in removing failed asylum seekers. https://news.sky.com/story/fewer-than-half-of-failed-asylum-seekers-are-removed-from-the-uk-study-says-11603672

    I'm with you up to your last sentence. It's a generational thing. But greed has ruled the world since Adam & Eve. It may have been less blatant or obvious in our younger days but it was still there, make no mistake.

    So you know the exact date when you're going to die?

    "However, concerns about his age and health have lingered, with voters questioning his fitness for office alongside incumbent President Biden and former President Trump" Compared to the other two?? You cannot be serious!

    You could be right, although markets tend to anticipate these things and price them in advance. In any case only one way to go for the baht from here, which I suppose will make a lot of expats happy.

    Nothing to do with the unfunded 10,000 baht vote buying scheme then?

    So you would found it perfectly acceptable for the Soviet Union to station troops and missiles in Cuba? Why is it ok in China's backyard but not in the US's?

    The two main objective of any bureaucratic organisation such as NATO: 1. The survival of the organisation 2. To extend the power and therefore the budget of the organisation. Makes perfect sense to me.

    There's a good reason private investors are know as "dumb money".

    High street banks are dead in the water. Closing branches everywhere, online apps nowhere near as good as Wise. The future is Wise!

    I'm not looking to invest in gilts. I can do that through my investment portfolio. This is a current account to park spare cash and earn a decent rate of interest.

    I understand perfectly. I'm happy to pay slightly over the odds for a gilt fund that pays me a better rate on my cash than UK bank deposits and allows me to access my funds immediately at any time.

    GBP 4.67% instant access. Not too shabby.

    Wise beats all the traditional offshore banks in terms of ease of opening accounts and convenience.

    I suspect rather less than the £5 million a day being spent to house illegal immigrants.

    Thanks for the clarification. There's usually more to these stories than meets the eye. Very lazy 'copy & paste' journalism.

    At some point reality kicks in. Think Wily Coyote.

    That kind of money should produce plenty of studies with the results the Western governments have ordered funded.

    Why is the government setting prices for sugar? That should be the job of the market according to supply and demand.

    Did I read this correctly? Thais complaining about noise?
