  1. I'm trying to work out if you are member of the ignorant woke group or dumb woke group. Figures released by the Home Office Select Committee in October 2022. Approx 5.6 milion pounds a day is spent on hotel accommodation for asylum seekers. An additional 1.2 million per day is spent on hotels for Afghans who arrived in the UK under government resettlement schemes. I've no issue with those people who helped UK forces in their country. However to do have an issue with the 5.6 million pounds spent daily on the others. That is tax payers money that should go to the ones who paid it the most, elderly, homeless and returned service men and women. Its fine to throw out your simple steps 1, 2 and 3 and believe its that easy but at least do a little research yourself.
  2. It’s the woke attitudes like yours that has the UK and other western countries forking out huge amounts of cash to address the problem. This money could and should be spent on pensioners and our own homeless. I’m sure many sleeping on the street tonight would love to be offered a bed on the Bibby.
  3. They didn’t have to come to the UK, could have easily stayed in France, oh wait a minute. I forgot they can get a better deal in UK than France or any of the other countries they transited through. Another thing, why is is so many supposedly refuges are young men. More than 87% who arrive on the small boats are your males. They all want to leave the <deleted>hole they were born in but want to bring all their <deleted>hole religious beliefs and laws with them.
  4. They claim it’s unsafe but didn’t refuse to get on the small inflatable dinghies to cross the channel to UK though. Would be better to use the Bibby Stockholm as a ferry and dump the lot back in France.
  5. I’m 2017 Thailand charged 102 people, including 21 government officials in this case. The highest-profile defendant was Lt Gen Manus Kongpan who was sentenced along with another senior figure, Patchuban Angchotipan, a wealthy businessperson and former provincial official known as Ko Tor or “Big Brother Tor”. Maj Gen Paween Pongsirin was appointed to lead the investigation. He fled Thailand and sought asylum in Australia. He told Authorities in Australia that high profile figures in the Thai government, military and police are implicated in trafficking and want him killed. He also told Guardian Australia and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that “from the beginning” he was under pressure not to pursue the perpetrators too enthusiastically.
  6. RIP to the young student. Hopefully a speedy recovery for those injured and the authorities support those witnesses who will require counseling. The real truth is the equipment failed is due to lack of funding to maintain or replace items. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2586261/bma-admits-cash-shortfall-hampering-fire-coverage In reality explosions are infrequent, but it is important to know the factors that can contribute to them. Overpressurization is a primary concern and can occur for various reasons, such as excessive heat exposure, physical damage, or improper maintenance resulting in pressure buildup beyond the extinguisher’s design limits. Corrosion, particularly in older extinguishers, can weaken the container, increasing the likelihood of rupture. Extreme temperatures, such as exposure to fire or direct sunlight, can also compromise the structural integrity of the extinguisher. Fire extinguishers can potentially explode when exposed to extremely high temperatures. The specific temperature at which an explosion may occur can vary depending on factors such as the materials used to construct the fire extinguisher and its size. Generally, a fire extinguisher must be heated above 572°F (300°C) to reach a critical point where an explosion is possible.
  7. The sub is piloted from onboard and it is not attached to the mothership. They communicate with the surface via short text message exchanged via a USBL (ultra-short baseline) acoustic system, downside is the mother ship has to be almost directly above it. If they had a issue hopefully they managed to jettison the ballast tanks and float to the surface and can be found. Although even if the reach surface they cannot get out as they are bolted in from the outside. Worst case is they have lost power and snagged or have imploded. Wishing the rescue team all the best in their difficult search.
  8. The woman is not stupid and pathetic. You really have no idea what domestic violence is do you. Victims of domestic violence are traumatised, feel trapped with nowhere to go and embarrassed to seek help. What is stupid and pathetic however is your victim blaming comment.
  9. Did you report your suspicions to the police or any of his family members? If your friend was expat did you relay your suspicions to his embassy?
  10. Hard to believe a TV member commenting before reading the full report ???? ???? f_up ???? Protection afforded to pregnant women from death penalty under Thailand’s Criminal Procedure Act However, under Section 247 of the Criminal Procedure Act in Thailand, there is a provision whereby the sentence of death cannot be applied to a woman until after three years from the birth of her child in custody. ‘Any woman sentenced to death, if pregnant, must be allowed wait until the expiration of three years from the time of giving birth or reduce the death penalty to life imprisonment. Unless the child dies before the expiration of the said period. During the three years from the date of birth, she shall bring up her child as is appropriate in a place suitable for child rearing in prison,’
  11. Nope, would call the cops, security but would not interfere. Friend of mine tried to stop a guy beating a girl outside a bar about 12 years ago in Australia. The guy turned on my friend, then the girl who was being beat up turned on my friend also. Friend ended up in hospital with 12 stitches and a scar for life.
  12. Perhaps only 3 armed officers fired. Although after your initial comment of 50 armed officers perhaps Specsavers is a good call ????
  13. How do you know they are not on the donation list? Try looking harder. John is now on end of life care. His daughter is now in Thailand and can see her dad before he passes. Hopefully he knows she’s with him and has some comfort during his final times. So why don’t you and the other grumpy argumentative posters remove yourselves from the thread if you have nothing useful to add. Better still, hopefully the moderators will remove you grumps instead.
  14. An old bloke is seriously ill in hospital. Have some decency for goodness sake, some of his friends or family might be members on TV. I didn’t see where he is in Thailand or what hospital. If anyone knows can they post. The old fella might be happy to see a smiling face or even get some fruit or cold water dropped off for him.
  15. Actually makes a lot of sense. Here is a link to a story how one of the dogs helped convict a pedophile hiding out in Mexico. https://abcnews.go.com/amp/International/wireStory/electronic-sniffing-dog-helps-pedophilia-arrest-mexico-85411648
  16. Hi ubonjoe. Do they have a site for booking the vaccine for Thai nationals. My wife and I are currently overseas but would like to book my wife’s parents for the Pfizer vaccine. They are both in Khon Kaen.
  17. Mick if he is real is probably a member of TV. I’m sure he will be more depressed that his friend?? in Australia has just posted and gloated about his situation in Thailand. OP, you hadn’t heard from your friend in a few months. You said he was miserable, depressed and you think he might commit suicide, yet, you callously ended the call early. As the saying goes who needs enemies with friend like you around. If this story and the name Mick is real I really hope he doesn’t read this post. If your real and you do read it Mick take no notice and stay strong mate. Reach out and if you need a chat drop me a private message. The first thing you should do is delete the OP from your contact list and block him mate. No one needs people like this in their lives.
