    In the report filed with the National Anti-Corruption Commission, Yingluck’s assets included Bt14.2 million in cash, Bt24.9 million in bank deposits, Bt115.5 million in investments, Bt108 million in loans, Bt117 million in land plots, and Bt162 million in other properties.

     

    I think she has traded the bulk of her fortune in handbags and shoes.

  2. The junta-appointed legislature approved without amendment this emergency decree.
    Members voted 177-0 with 11 abstentions to adopt the controversial Royal Decree on managing foreign labor into law.

    In the case of such voting results, the presumption is suggestive of the malfunction of an entire institution.
    The struggle and debate about the best solution for the country simply no longer takes place.
    All just appointed Yes Sayers, reduced to command receiver only.
    So every progress is stifled.

    If that's the case why is a third of Eastern Europe working there?. If there is no manufacturing what are they doing?. I've just retired from a UK manufacturer that's been in business for over 30 years and is thriving. Business has never been so good surely it can't just be one company in the U.K. or were we an anomaly?.

    It is never too late to learn the facts.

    There’ll be an ‘EXPLOSION’ Barnier warns of EU meltdown if Britain doesn't pay Brexit bill

     

    http://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/831064/Brexit-news-Michel-Barnier-EU-meltdown-Britain-refuses-pay-divorce-bill

    I read the comments there.

    Unbelievable what hate, has accumulated itself in 40 years of European partnership. Ignoring the fact that the UK has played a part in shaping this eu politics over 40 years. Some comments have real hitler level there.

    There are so many reasons, but what started off as trading partners was turning into been told what we could do in our own country, who we allowed in, who we could not eject. Britain was losing its identity, and dispite all the posters on here that lambast their own country, most Brits are a proud race. I feel ashamed when somebody disrespects their country of birth, would you ever do this?

    First Brits are not a race.

    But I understand your argument.

    Too much influx of foreign people.

    This is a problem which affects all EU countries. It is therefore not an economic problem, but a problem of immigration that the eu as well as the individual states can not solve properly.

    I have no problem with the free movement of people from the eu member states.  But the mass of economic refugees from Africa and non-functioning Muslim countries, the eu can not take definitiy unlimited in. 

    Whether a brexit is the right answer, I have my doubts. Many europeans have the snout full of this unregulated invasion.

    Because we were given the opportunity to decide whether we wanted to be part of the EU or not, the UK decided it would be better to leave this dysfunctional marriage, and a divorce was the only answer. We were hoping to divorce without still paying the mortgage or even leave without still having one foot in the door.

    The other net payers must make their own decision, but the problem is their governments seem a little reluctant to offer their citizens a vote on it, I wonder why?

    But I hope all goes well for both sides, I have spent many happy times in European countrys, Germany and France (and of course many more) they are amazing countrys to holiday in, I speak reasonable German and French, but I and many more don't want to be joined at the hip to them. 

    Understand.

    But why it is a dysfunctional marriage?

    The UK has nevertheless profited very well in the standard of living. The uk is located at one of the top places of the EU with one of the highest income per inhabitant in the whole EU.

    Like it or not we are the second largest contributors, no ifs or buts. Poland has a population of nearly 40 million people, but doesn't pay a penny, infact receives about 5 billion a year from the EU, so how does population come into it. It has to be about how much a nation pays.

     

    "According to an internal Finance Ministry report in September, Germany may have to contribute an extra 4.5 billion euros in 2019 and 2020, after Britain leaves."

    I'm not sure how much extra France will have pay to make up the deficit when the UK leaves, but there are some 'states' that have said they will not pay anymore after brexit, so figures could be even higher. Interesting times ahead.

    If you only look at the amount of net payments you are right. So all countries which make net payments into the eu pot are stupid. correct?

    And well before that the Romans (Italians) conquered Britain Emperor Claudius in AD48 and plundered her assets for hundreds of years and that's why I would never buy a Fiat or an Alfa Romeo not because their crap emoji90.png.
    Snip

    LOL.

    Consequently you would have to drive an Indian car, have Indian furniture, eat indian currys and wear handwoven shirts from india.

  9. The big supermarket chains suck the blood out from the local mom & pop stores. The online trade eats the revenues of stationary retail stores.

    No one can stop this development.

    The only way out for the affected businesses are creative new concepts, better products, experience worlds, stronger customer relationships and excellent customer service. 

     

    And there we would be again by the education question: Do thai entrepreneurs master this instrumentarium?

    Brexit is not only about paying (concerning the UK), but also about losing a lot. 

    I.e. Foreign banks in London cannot wait another 18 months - until the final decision. The missing UK policy is precarious for them. Therefore they start already moving their offices to the EU continent or maybe Dublin. But Northern Ireland and Ireland is another Brexit problem for the UK. ... the list goes on.

    The Japanese investment bank Nomura has selected itself as a future EU location Frankfurt, because of the planned Brexit. In order to be able to offer all services within the EU after the departure of Great Britain from the Community, the bank applied for a license for a new subsidiary on the Main as Nomura communicated.

    It depends how you look at it. I assume you are hinting that having a big folder of paper which are wants means you are prepared. It could easily be argued that the Brexit team have all they need to say. like its this way or we walk. The photo does give some good options for 'speech bubbles' though.  Mine would be is "this is how much we want you to pay" with DD saying "this is how much you are getting". LOL

     

    Possibly worth another thread alone.

    You can turn and twist it as you want, the Brexiters still have until today no plan.
