I hope the do gooders are happy now they have wrecked Europe, and for those who don't believe this try watching the link below.

I have been following this from the start and cannot understand why, if there are no under the table agreements between the UK & America that the UK cannot agree to guarantee that Julian Assange must not be transferred to America but only to answer questions on this other charge or why officials cannot question him in the UK.

Obviously there are agreements between the two countries which is expected; however, why has Australia not put up any suggestions to help one of it's own citizens

If someone is accused of theft or fraud everyone agrees that they deserve a fair trial, but when sex offences against children are involved its seems that many people feel a trial is unessesary.

Also.. and I know many people will hate me for saying this. K11 is an area of PP that has long been known for having brothels full of children working as prostitutes. Its one thing to target the punters (and its right and proper that the punters should be prosecuted for their crimes) but why not put an equal amount of effort into preventing the crime in the first place by closing the brothels and prosecuting the people who pimp kids for a living.

I fully agree that a fair trial is deserved by all even serious degenerates like this person, the problem is the penalty never is severe enough by many governments; I agree in what you say if this place is so well known why has it not been closed down as this would protect the children and remove temptation from the despicable people who utilise places like this.

I'm afraid I do not have any sympathy for people who commit these type of crimes against children, unfortunately sometimes it is the children's own family who send them to work in places like this, very sad situation.

_{Full marks for the police in apprehending these people, unfortunately the modern chemical highs are much more problematic than the old fashioned marijuana days where people just relaxed....}

Evolution is the key word and in some, there appears to be a severe lack of it; it is well known that religion is only a form of controlling the population hence the conflict between the Crown & the Religious leaders which can be seen throughout history. Let's face it these are pure & simply dolls and anyone who cannot see this needs to check their family tree..!!

While I do believe that these matters are dealt with through official channels if the police fail to do so for whatever reasons, then one cannot blame the local community from stepping in and showing the police what punishment is not matter who they are, I know if it were my child I would not hesitate in doing so.

So do we deduce from this that the taking of kratom leaves in some way is an excuse for what happened - This should be an extra charge as the taking of these leaves is also against Thai law....

It would be interesting to know the countries where these UN Soldiers come from, they should also be named & shamed

All European governments got this wrong from the start, they should stop trying to look good and do what they are supposed to do which is to govern & take care of their own citizens as a priority, and not as a secondary thought which appears to be the norm these days; Europe needs strong leaders who are not afraid to stand up for their own country.

From the start Refugees should have been given temporary residence status with a requirement to renew this visa every six months until it is safe for them to return home normally - Failure to do so they should be located and immediately sent back home. Should any people wish to remain in their selected country they should follow the correct procedure and be prepared to follow each respected countries laws & way of life, if they don't want to do this GO BACK HOME.

Well done Sweden, at last some of the European countries are starting to wake up to the potential of a crisis waiting to happen I can only hope that others follow the examples of Denmark & Sweden and not letting migrants have a bigger bite of the cherry than their own countrymen & women. The fact that immigrants get away with much more than natives of each country should not come as a shock to any of the politicians it's just plain and simple common sense..!! All immigrants should only be admitted as temporary residents and repatriated as soon as it is possible, if they want to become a resident of their chosen country they should follow the correct procedure and also adopt the countries laws & way of life.

The UK should take a leaf out of the Danish books and restore the balance from taking all they can from it's own citizens while sucking up to EU opinion of what is good or bad for England - Good for you Denmark..!!

It is no wonder that the Middle East views the Western countries as being a "Soft Target"

Well done to all teams involved with the research & implementation of this operation, it is good news for everyone living here that medical improvements & innovations are made, some out there need to look on the good side for change.

_{It beggars belief, I know that Thais are superstitious but this is just pure raw stupidity ....}

_{At least it is good news that the Thai people responsible for tracking this disease are on the ball and acted in a responsible manner...}

1. got too greedy and priced yourselves out of the market, same happened in walking street Pattaya

2. as above - price fixing cartels not allowing bars to drop their prices as they want too using threats and intimidation

3. The Chinese don't do bars, they might walk around looking but spend FA

Greed is destroying these places and the same patterns can be seen in Bangkok and Pattaya, as western visitors decline you will typically see the same destructive business pratice of increasing prices instead of rescueing tourism and the bar scene with reduced realistic pricing, supermarkets 7/11 and familymart are a good guide and a silid stake in the ground - if they didn't exist this country would be in ruins

fair pricing and your business will boom again

All of the above is correct and only yesterday it was reported that the Thai government are considering charging the foreign tourist more money every time they enter, can they not read the writing on the wall, now is the time to make coming to Thailand more attractive not to shoot the other foot...!!

This is absolutely disgusting, the Thai government should feel ashamed of themselves for even considering this cheap move, it is pathetic....!!!

Why should Europe have to house these people when other Arab countries either will not take them or the refugees do not want to go to other Arab countries because they are not compatible i.e. Sunni or Shia, if they are not compatible with other Arabs, how is it they are expected to be compatible with Europeans..??

The western world is non-religious in the main, this makes it a great place for the zealots to spread their strict brand of islam. Other arab countries would not be receptive to such a move and have not embraced the concept of PC which would silence any criticism. It is so very simple when all the bells and whistles are stripped away. Just another conquering army sacking a perceived weak enemy.

Unfortunately you are correct, so how come the European leaders fail to recognise this or more likely don't want to - None as blind as those who don't want to see..!!!

Why should Europe have to house these people when other Arab countries either will not take them or the refugees do not want to go to other Arab countries because they are not compatible i.e. Sunni or Shia, if they are not compatible with other Arabs, how is it they are expected to be compatible with Europeans..??

RIP

WE were ALL young once and did stupid things at times yet got away with it (mostly) sadly this young man paid the ultimate price and has left his family devastated.

That is very true, but there is never an excuse for driving drunk, or accepting a lift from a driver you know to be drunk.

Have you ever been drunk..?? I do mean drunk!!!

While in many ways I do agree with some of the points mentioned, unfortunately many people out there are, or have been in their youth guilty of the same crimes; (and I do include myself) an old saying is that the "Guilty part in committing any crime is getting caught" this is just a very unfortunate way of getting caught..!!! and my respects go to his family, I'm sure this outcome was not planned.

^{The problem these days is that most country leaders are more concerned with looking good on the worl stage than looking after their own citizens}

It is time these scammers are made an example of, i.e if foreign, prison sentence followed by a ban from Thailand for a substantial period of time

I am A- but live in Pattaya although after reading one of the comments I am not sure my blood would be acceptable as I am 68 years of age, if you can confirm my blood would be acceptable I could go to Pattaya hospital for donation of blood.
