Laughing Gravy

Yes agree how ironic from the man who detains and imprisons without charge. Is centralizing and controlling the media, eliminating . criticism. Yes Mr. Ergodan you are right to mention Hitler and the Nazis are you are mirroring them very nicely.

Good luck with that Catalonia. Unless the EU splits and fails soon, I can't see it happening.

fancy that!

What has that got any bearing on the House of Lords and in particular 'Twinky and Perky?

One Lord talking sense for once.

Lord Lamont, the former Tory chancellor, said: “It is an attempt to impose conditions on the negotiation, which I think is inappropriate because the purpose of the Bill is simply to trigger the start of withdraw negotiations

 “I think they are doing a disservice to the national interest. You shouldn’t be imposing conditions [on the Government]. The negotiations need flexibility. 

“I hope that it will be rejected by the Commons and sent back here. If that is not the end of the matter I think the Lords will be playing with fire.”

Mandelson and Kinnock another pair of clowns milking the EU coffers. No wonder they don't want out.

You really believe the House of Lords are dimwits? I don't think so......Privileged, certainly. Out of touch? Some, but not all.

 

60,000 a year is hardly excessive though I do think there are too many Lords now.

 

It is you that "don't get it" I'm sorry to say. How many times do we "Remoaners" have to say that we accept Brexit however foolish it may be. The issue now is the "Ts & Cs".

 

It is a pity that so many have not noticed the new glee with which the Con Party are taking to Brexit? Has it not dawned on you yet?

 

Some people will do extremely well what ever happens ( look up arbitrage for starters and then look up profiteering)

 

Others (and sadly that includes the numpties) will get shafted

 

Watch and weep!

 

 

Yes many of them are dimwits. just by not being in touch with the people qualifies them for that. Also many of them are Europhiles who are happy to continue taking EU money and pensions. We have different views which is obvious. you have stated before that you consider yourself European. I do not I am British which is a country in Europe. I never agreed with the EU and whatever happens being free from the EU shackles is enough for me. I have faith and believe in the people of the UK to be able to feed itself, compete in business and not have to bow down and be told what to do.

"But the Prime Minister is confident the amendment will be rejected by the Commons later this month, and Downing Street insisted the timetable for Brexit “remains unchanged”.

I guess you would be agitating to close it by Royal Prerogative.

Actually it was a 'tounge in cheek gesture' as other posters way back in this or another thread put the petition for a second referendum. I think that petitions have little value.  I would close it as it is an antiquated system to keep the rich in power.

It has been mentioned and mentioned over again for 20 years about the education system here failing students. It is simple really. The teachers and teaching methods, lack of continuous training, allowing everyone to pass, to much time spent on route learning and Thai culture and poor administrators. Change all of them and you will see an improvement. So the likelihood of these happening is zero IMHO.

You play soldiers whether a medic or not with terrorists, then expect to get killed. No sympathy for them at all.

You haven't been to Bangladesh then? Nearly 5 mins for one passenger!

 

Yes but they admit they are a third world country.

OK lets be serious for a minute then we can laugh. Thailand has how many world class sporting venues.  mmmm.None

At national level how many sporting facilities does Thailand have? A couple at best.  How many parks, sporting grounds, running tracks, has Thailand got that can be used by tourists. A few. Obviously the person at the TAT has been smoking funny cigarettes. Now I can laugh..

Totally inept and unsustainable. Grandeurs way above reality. Why don't the TAT get a Dusit poll to show they are the hub of sports. I can see it now. Thailand will be hosting the Olympic Games, The World Cup and oh yes the Tour de France ... again.

I think the EU will be much better off without Britain. They never adopted the euro and were just in the EU to see what they could get out of it.

Actually like the other original 7 countries is what about trade in the early 1970s. It went pear shape when all the other countries were allowed in and then made the Euro. all self inflicted by the EU commissions greed of control and unify, through divide and conquer. So as the EU will be better off without the UK, I assume you are happy that there is no punishment, we can leave now and say goodbye, as the EU doesn't need us.

Don't take it personally,the Brits like Europe and the Europeans, they do not like the E.U. The same as an increasing number of Europeans are now starting to realise that the disadvantages of membership of this corrupt so -called Union far outweigh the advantages

 

   

 So well put. The EU is taking away countries within Europe, identities away. the French, Dutch, the Italians and making a 'one size fits all' which it does not. It is becoming the norm now, sadly in my opinion, if you don't become apart of us (EU) you are against the countries in it, which isn't true. it is the federalization of Europe I am against.

As for the Euro, what a farce that has been and I am so glad the UK didn't join, as most countries like Greece, Italy, Portugal etc etc wish they hadn't either.

Look, I am anti Muslim, but I am damned if we're going to let them drive us back to the '30s. Surely we know better. Don't we?

I will agree with you on this Grouse but it is the very people (the EU) that has created this and caused the state we are in. Sadly it looks like they do not want to change. It is a shame, its taking the right of politics to go against this. In the UK as an example, labour want more integration with Muslims.  Tell me how exactly other than right wing and not all far right going to erode this from Europe?

Relations between the NATO allies have been strained by the coup, but Germany desperately needs to Turkey for its part in a deal to stop the flow of migrants into Europe.

No they don't. They can tell the tyrant to get stuffed. Stop them at the border and those that get through ship them back. That would go against Merkel's policy of flooding Europe with migrants. They do not need Turkey as a friend, as they are everything the west does not need, under the current regime.

Get ready for it. Making it even more difficult to lave the so called democratic EU. This man instead of reform, is doing the opposite and 'closing ranks'. When will this horrible man realize that countries don't want to be told what to do and when by others, in a little piece of land called Brussels.

The  problem runs  deeper  than this and starts  with the parents, many Thai kids do exactly what they want with no restraint from lazy parents, having kids is a big fulltime   job not to be taken lightly yet many deem it their right  just to pop em out

Yes that maybe true but it doesn't justify this absolute disgraceful behavior. Teachers are meant to nurture, care and guide children. If they can't do it whilst children do not always do as they are told. Then should find a new profession. This is abuse and inexcusable.

The disparity between quality and value for money has to be one of the biggest in the world. Let's face it, the 'beer' here is now worse than ever since the doctoring of recipes over the last few years.

Exactly. Heineken here tastes nothing like Heineken In Holland or anywhere else I have tried it. Tiger is nothing like the Tiger in Singapore. I am still waiting (hopelessly) for the ASEAN trade agreement to start allowing other beers in, without penalty of taxation. I know it will be a long time, as the breweries know they would be out, as many beers in Asia taste much better and are as cheap if not cheaper.

The price of beer here is over priced anyway for the sewage they produce and call it lager. If it doubled then that would be the end of the industry IMHO. I wouldn't be surprised if some price went on.

Iran in the 70's, these people aren't living in another century with their beliefs or practices, that nonsense is 100% imposed upon them, they do not take that which is imposed on them with them, they escape from it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is before the Islamic revelation in the 1970s. Not Syria. But look at Iran now and most of the Middle East. Extremism. Your picture looks great in Iran. That is far from a true account of the place now and the same for Syria and the middle east/

The Assad family has been ruling Syria for the last 40 years, it was peaceful country with different ethnic and religious groups living all in harmony. Maybe this war got something to do with the Qatari pipeline gas or Israel wanting to annex the Golan forever as Bibi said ?

I have to question which history book you have read, Harmony?. Like  most of the middle East it is run by war lords (now called Kings) With  different Muslim factions, some accepting Christians to an extent but all hate each other and fighting for power and land. It is an antiquated religion and most are living in another century with their beliefs and practices.

The thing is Trump mixes his words, large scale immigration has been working out just fine for many countries including USA. But Trump mixes it with large scale refugee immigration, I don't think anybody ever said large scale refugee immigration is working good for any country.

 

The world is at a crisis, countries like Sweden are trying to be good and save some lives, yet the best Trump can do is make fun of them.  People like Trump is whats wrong with the world, many of his followers can't distinguish between fact and fiction.

 

Trumps immigration issue is being blown way out of proportion by both sides in my opinion.

You are entitled to your opinion. I have lived in a couple of Muslim countries and I can tell you that they are not a modern thinking, equality, forward thinking places to live. People seem to be wanting to leave, which I understand but bring their ideology with them. Sweden have tried very patiently but are now realizing 'oil and water' do not mix. Very much like Marxism and Communism, it sounds great on paper but in reality it isn't and doesn't work. This is like the immigration and globalization which is policy. It isn't working and never will. The liberals and left will have you believe it will work. History will once again prove it will not. 

What is wrong with caring and putting your own country first? The annoying thing for me is that one time you were a patriot. Now you are classed as a racist, which is rubbish. Sadly that's the rhetoric that people say, when you have a difference of opinion to them, that goes against the globalization and cultural integration. It is the PC's answer that is picked up by the liberal media.
