yeah right... pull the one, it's got bells on it....

My friend ran into him in London in October. He was totally blitzed. So now he's bought some medication that conveniently gives positives on drug screens. If he was really on these meds don't you think he would've showed it to the police immediately? I guess he was so high he forgot

To their defense; if the parents were responsible and told the kid not to ride the bike the kid probably couldnt go to school. Or a parent had to stop working in which case he could be brought there, but then they could not pay the tuition or the house they live in.

 

Its not all that simple.

Unless it's a 100km school run, I think you're exaggerating just a tad.  I see many kids getting dropped at 6.30am (this allows their parents to go to work on time)

However, that scenario is now not possible because the charter states that members of National Legislative Assembly, Cabinet or National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO), of which Prayut is the leader, have to resign from their posts within 90 days after the new charter becomes effective.

 

Since the charter has been effective for over nine months, it is too late for Prayut to apply and stand in the next polls as an MP candidate.

Well, I don't see why the scenario is "not possible" because 9 months is way longer than 90 days and I haven't seen any members resign. They choose which parts of the charter they follow

People should not accuse him of dragging his feet on calling the election, as it is the Constitution Drafting Commission’s business and he cannot intervene, he said.

He always intervenes - did he forget that he recently invoked Art.44 to change the CDC's timeline for politicians. 

These "journalists" are a big part of the problem.

Actually crimes committed by foreigners have twice the likelihood of being reported than those by German nationals. One third of violent crimes committed by asylum seekers are against those in the same situation. As stated above those who have the greatest chance of being vetted as genuine refugees usually do not commit crime. Germany, as is the case with other EU countries, are still in the process of completing relevant government to government negotiations to ease the deportation process of rejected asylum seekers, though some foreign countries have already agree to accepting returnees.

 

Some more detail in reports below e.g.

 

an increase of 10.4 percent in reported violent crimes  in 2015 and 2016. More than 90 percent of the increase (not of total violent crimes) was said to be attributable to migrants. 

 

http://www.dw.com/en/german-study-links-increased-crime-rate-to-migrant-arrivals/a-42006484

 

http://www.dw.com/en/more-murder-and-violence-in-germany/a-38567642

"One third of violent crimes committed by asylum seekers are against those in the same situation."

Which proves that violent dicks attack all kinds...no shit. The problem local people have is with the OTHER TWO THIRDS  

The Germans have shot themselves in the foot because getting in (illegally) is easier than being deported (legally). The result is that innocent refugees get a bad reputation. Nevertheless, just because there are innocent refugees does not mean we must ignore statistics that show an increase in crimes that are related to migrants (some claiming to be refugees as well).

"That would mean a blow for both the ecosystem and the lucrative tourism industry which it supports."

More like killing animals naturally part of said ecosystem to protect the lucrative tourism industry. 

This BS propaganda is the same as some dick saying:

"500 murders were committed last year, and we arrested 1000 people for assault. This year there were 1000 murders committed, but we arrested 5000 people for assault, so the world is a safer place."

"THERE IS not a clause written into the new organic bill governing MPs for extending the road map to an election,.."

Well, he's technically telling the truth since the "road map" has never had a fixed end point. The election, however, might be delayed  It's all moot though because Big P can (read will) delay the election by waving his Art.44 wand which supercedes the NLA, constitution, and any other laws.

If you refuse to leave a place you are NOT stranded 

As an aside, my Zimbabwean friend has just returned to Harare from a nice trip to Singapore and Cambodia. No problems at all.

Quite an achievement. This figure is even less than the 358 dangerous days.

It always is - the 7 dangerous days usually turn out to be the 7 safest. I put this down to most highways slowing to a crawl which sees many fender benders happening but not the usual highspeed collisions.

Interesting point, which I hadn't known about: if the election cannot be completed by November, then Thailand will be chairing ASEAN in 2019. Then of course there can be no change of government in 2019...

Why do these people (journalist and armchair detectives) always show all their cards. Instead of releasing the photo then ask the dick to clarify i.e. come up with an excuse within 30 days, they should ask him straight, "So we know your friend borrowed you the last watch, but have you ever worn or displayed another valuable watch that has not been declared?" He says "no" and then, and only then, do you show the photo.
