I belive that not everyone is on the take, some people have what they belive to be the best intrests of the country at heart

The police here are a waste of time. Had this been in the USA, the police would have already shot dead the murderers without question !

But then there would have been riots and the police would have to pay millions of dollers to the families.

(unless the perbs happened to be white)

It's taken me days to read through this thread

I did notice a couple of the doctor doctor jokes that were missed

So...

"Doctor doctor people keep ignoring me"

"NEXT" !!

"Doctor doctor I'm constipated"

"No S##t"

Personally I favor free movement anywhere in the world, you should be able to live and work where ever you wish to,

But like I mentioned before, only if you can pay your way if not you have to go back to your own country,

Benefits packages should only be available to nationals of their own countries.

So if a French, Italian or whatever arrives in the UK and works for 30 years and then gets laid off he then has no rights and gets no benefits but a dosser from shittyton who has never had a job just because he was born on the UK should get benefits for life?

I think if someone lived and worked in a country for a long time they should be able to apply for citizenship, if they did not wish to do that then no no benefits for them.

I don't know where my last post went, maybe to many quotes,

Yes you are right you did not "say" it happened

I should have used the word "implied"

Like I said "picky"

As regards you post #40, joining the EEC solved all our problems, lol

Foreign companies set up fatories in Asia for cheap labour

If they were prepared to pay higher wages they would build those factories in their home countries

Be carefull of what you wish for.

You'll get poverty with the EU due to immigration overwhelming the system.

The UK was strong and prosperous before it entered the EU. Few of the promises have come true while some current and potential future repercussions weren't expected by the people.

If you don't have borders and national security and sovereignty you can't manage a country and provide for your own people.

The UK will continue to get weaker in the EU just as it has already. The UK's debt is skyrocketing because it's overwhelmed.

Get out and take your country back. Build The Wall. You can trade with the USA while the rest of the EU sucks air and crashes. How do people get sucked into believing that something which hasn't worked thus far will work into the future?

Maybe you do not remember, or don't want to remember.

"In December 1973, a combination of power cuts and economic gloom meant beleaguered Britain’s finances AND lights were on the blink — with many facing Christmas Day in the cold and dark.

Concerned about hardship during the festive season, Tory Prime Minister Ted Heath warned Brits they should expect a difficult festive season.

In an emergency national broadcast on December 13 he said: “We shall have a harder Christmas than we have known since the war.”"

Would this be about one year after Britain joined the EU ?

No, it was about 20 years before the EU came into being.

Obviously you are trying to imply that the EC(European Community) brought the UK to its knees in the space of 12 months, nothing whatsover to do with the industrial disputes that ravaged the UK in the early seventies.

You are being picky yes we joined the EEC in 1973 which changed name in 1993 to the EU.

I was mearly pointing out that you were quoting an event that happened after we joined and you were incorrectly saying it happend before we Joined.

It's true Britain had problems in the 60's with socalism

The EU did not solve these problems, we did !

Before we joined we traded with the rest of the world and the comonwealth

The rest of the world is still out there it should be up to us to make trade agreements with who ever we want, without europe telling us who we can and cannot trade with

People from anywhere in the world should be allowed to work in Britain, work and pay taxes into the system, if you have no job and no money to live on you go back to your own country, the taxes they paid into the system was a payment for the right to work in Britain not an investment into the benefits system.

IMO destroying this ivory is so wrong

They are making the ivory more rare and more valuable increasing the motivation to kill more elephants

It would seem the "no" people have been active without even knowing the content of the draft

Thainess ?

The Thai language version has been available in full online.

On the other hand, I have been unable to find an English language translation.

Thanks, my Thai is not that good.

Anyone know if the birth mother has a fund me page ?

I would help her out a bit.

By doing this they are playing right into the hands of opponents. Let them carry on and see what more problems they can cause themselves. With a bit of luck EVERYONE will soon start posting on facebook and they will have problems arresting millions.

You could get the ball rolling.

If you take road deaths per 100k people indeed Thailand is in 2nd place.

If you take road deaths per 100k vehicles then Thailand is a long way down the list with about 75 deaths per 100k vehicles

Guinea has about 9,500 deaths per 100k vehicles per year

Thailand averages 25k road deaths a year, India has almost 240k

Just a bit of perspective.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-related_death_rate

I noticed that compared to the UK, by number of people, Thailand has 12 times as many fatalities, but by number of vehicles has 14 times as many.

you can play with stats all day and make them do just about whatever you like - if you thing stats are "facts" then you are seriously misled.

What you CAN take from the WHO stats is a reasonable commonality and the comparative view on some sets of road stats....it is reasonable to deuce that Thailand has an unacceptable road death rate.....trying to decide who is 1st 2nd or 3rd is pointless anyway and even simply stating that the higher the numbers the more dangerous the roads is not necessarily true.....as you can see when you factor in such things as number of vehicles, mikes of road, vehicle miles driven etc etc......

it seems far too many people are content to base their judgements on one single stat or to see that stat in isolation...this is the case with the Song Khran stats - the media blasts out the number of deaths every day...uses vocabulary like "carnage" and we all are made to believe that the death rate over Song Khran is higher than normal.

This was what I was getting at, everyone goes on about one set of stats because these make Thailand look worse, I was trying to get a little balance by quoting deaths by 100k vehicles not just by population.

It looks to me that the army is keeping an eye on the police,

Maybe an anti corruption drive, but they can't say that.

I had a great Songkran this year, in Cambodia. Every year time after time 'people' generally Thai males loose their lives through intoxication and stupidity, inclusive generally through excessive speed (yep the Ya-Ba sort) - suppose it's good population control of that ilk? This place is lawless, what else would you expect?

Oh and the brother 'plausibly' saw absolutely nothing, would never have been partaking in drag racing and speeding would he?

Another one bites the dust.

The artical said the bike had been hit from behind.

Doesn't sound like boy racers to me.

RIP

cops put people in the back all the time,

if that means anything

Refusing to get into the truck with the wife's family would have been a massive loss of face for her,

In his place I would have got into the truck too, praying to god we made it,

As one day I will die, I just don't know the where when or how,

RIP

How many police stations in Bangkok?

I don't know, but even if there's 100, that would be 20 arrests per day per station

if theres 200 then 10 arrests per station,

In a city of 10 million people 100 dosen't sound excesive to me

Dosen't sound quite so absurd now,

Of course you all know why the PM said what hid said

But why miss a good chance to knock the government

I've not read anything that stops the people discusing the future referendum, other than stopping politicians from influencing the populace

now they can make up their own minds, not a bad thing IMO

The message seems clear to me

If you don't want sending back to where you came from,

don't come to Thailand

If the UN have a chat with all the other Muslim countries I would think somewhere could be found for these people

even if it took a little aid to help grease the wheels

Maybe not all in the same country but some could be resettled here and there

as for those from Bangladesh just send them back home
