  1. Yes, I found the Reuters article, and read it, which you apparently haven't. He was elected in the absence of any other candidates. And for a 2 day forum. So what's your point?
  2. It was a 2 day meeting. No other candidate was put forward. Then all the western do nothings started whingeing. https://www.reuters.com/world/irans-appointment-chair-un-rights-meeting-draws-condemnation-2023-11-02/
  3. Conflating antisemitism with criticism of Israel. Incredible.
  4. They are by the UN. Same in Ukraine. The double standards are mind boggling.
  5. As providing cause for retaliation. Don't dodge the issue. You know what I'm talking about. Israeli settlers taking over Palestinian held land. Why do you think Hamas attacked Israel? Certainly one of the reasons. Alongside many others. People no longer seem able to tell right from wrong. Shelling hospitals? Cutting off water and power supplies? 6000 children killed. Is this justifiable?
  6. You can't use "troll" in that context, ie stating an opinion you don't agree with. I can equally dismiss all your comments as invalid. You're gaslighting.
  7. Who mentioned the Gaza strip? It's hardly the chosen spot for Israeli settlers, is it?
  8. I was referring to the Israeli settlers, not Hamas.
  9. Just as they did regarding Ukraine and all the other gross violations of humanitarian behaviour. The UN is a broken record. It achieves absolutely nothing. It's "security" council is anything but. A licence for the big boys to do whatever they want, wherever they want, whenever they want, while it mouths platitudes and holds it's hands up in mock horror.
  10. No. Israel started it years ago. Hamas finally snapped. Somebody moves in on your backyard and builds a house and kicks you out, what are you going to do? As an American, you'd shoot them dead, right? Right. Enough already.
  11. More and more barricades being thrown up to delay, maybe even prevent, any action on a complete charter rewrite.
  12. Interesting, as the person in charge of the soft power nonsense is none other than Sheeitta's chief rival, Paetongtarn "Ung Ing I love bling" Shinawat, head Nepobabe and PM in waiting.
  13. I was referring to Wise. I've never tried transferring from a THB account in a Thai bank to a bank outside Thailand.
  14. Let's get this into perspective and look at what the Brits have given the Aussies rent and royalty free: 1 Australia 2 all those sports 3 language 4 an enduring political system 5 a ready made royal family to call their own 6 etc etc And in return, what did we get back? 1 nothing So whinge on you lovely poms. There's nothing like you. The world needs you and loves you.
  15. The screenshot is simply telling you how much the transfer is worth in THB. It has nothing to do with a THB account.
  16. In the Wise help files under THB, it says "You can’t currently send money from THB." Which makes me careful about sending foreign currency to my Thai bank accounts, as getting it out again via Wise is impossible. I have to use Dee.
  17. I have £ and $ accounts with Wise. The £ account has a UK sort code and the $ account a US equivalent in a bank in the US. Does your THB account have a swift code, or the equivalent? Can you transfer into and out of, it? My Wise account is linked to my Thai bank accounts. But Wise make it clear they don't deal in THB.
  18. A THB balance at Wise? There's no such thing, is there? Wise doesn't deal in THB. It displays your balance in both THB and the various currencies you hold with them, that's all. I think! I don't have a Wise card though. With a Thai ATM card I'm charged 15 THB for a 20k THB withdrawal, and I have an out of town account. And my tax paid UK income won't be taxed here as the UK and Thailand have a tax agreement covering dual taxation. But, income from untaxed assets abroad could well be taxed once transferred to a Thai account.
  19. Brain damaged I maybe. Woke I ain't.
  20. Why do reporters always dress up the action with dramatic descriptions of how police "rushed to", "swiftly", "incredibly quickly", "mind blowingly fast" etc etc. Pattaya cop shop is just along Beach Rd. No need for drama! A mere saunter away.
  21. More transparency has to be good news to fight backhanded corruption. Glad to see the MFP finally getting a part in the government soap.
