What's the hesitation here? There is no longer any enlightened sympathy for Israel. The "war" on Gaza and the Palestinians has become cartoonishly evil. Only shills would defend the indefensible. "Promise was that I, From Philistian yoke deliver; Ask for this great Deliverer now, And find him, Eyeless in Gaza at the mill with slaves."

Those figures are absolutely meaningless and misleading. The positives connected to living and working in Thailand are too numerous to mention. The negatives connected to living and working in Israel are likewise too numerous to mention. This is a country at war with its neighbours and engaged in a brutal ethnic cleansing of Palestinians whose land they are illegally occupying according to international law if it is outside their legitimate and recognized 1967 borders.

Nonsense. Plenty of employment opportunities here in Thailand. The unemployment rate is currently 0.79% according to CEIC Data. The added advantage is working in a situation where your life isn't on the line in a warzone. Whoever is pushing this daft scheme is almost certainly doing it for the shekels.

Agreed... ASAP. The only reason for witholding these files is to protect prominent individuals and Epstein's probable connection to Mossad. It sure looks like Bondi is bought and paid for.

Spot on. The Irish have only themselves to blame for this disaster. Ditto the USA; UK, and much of the EU. Their befuddled people stood by while corrupt leaders allowed this influx of migrants without the slightest concern about what the unintended consequences might be. The results - foreseeable from the get-go - are only just beginning.

A total farce. Guaranteed to alarm tourists and let the bad guys down south know there is a soft target up north.

Thanks for the careful reading. That probably explains it.

It would be interesting to know if the important documents he was carrying have "disappeared" following the accident.

Thanks.

Does this apply to applications for new licences only. or licence renewals also?

Here's my snake repellent. I made it myself after two snakes - at different times - came into our house uninvited. Now if they come again I'm fully prepared to give them a warm welcome.

Tell that to Thaksin and his corrupt clan. He and his proxies bled the country white until the Thai Army put a stop to it. Where do you think the Shinawatra Zillions came from... selling silk on Huay Kaew? Whatever the downsides of military rule are - and there are quite a few - they pale in comparison to an out-of-control kleptocracy. Average working-class Thais know that instinctively, and so do farangs who have lived among them for any length of time. That explains the support for the RTA in times of crisis like we're seeing now. When things calm down the chattering-classes and the clueless expats can go back to bleating about a "return to democracy".

Anything but a "one hit wonder". He has been a successful rock musician, singer, and songwriter since the early '90s when he founded the group Loso. He went on to an immensely popular solo career that was interrupted by frequent run-ins with the law. His luck just ran out.

Thanks for the suggestion nova. A shotgun (even a rifle) I think would cause too much collateral damage. My spear head is not nails, but 5" hardened steel deck screws. Even though I'm yet to put it to the test I'm sure it would do the job. Happy hunting.

TIT.
