Maybe not, but that's a different question and not relevant. You're confusing nationality with identity. Nationality is very clear cut and just needs a piece of paper. At the risk of introducing a pun; it's "black or white". Being black-skinned doesn't disqualify someone from citizenship.

I thought I answered that question. But I'll help you out: British, Namibian and Irish.

Multi-national. It's perfectly acceptably to have more than one nationality - IF those countries have provision for this (such as dual citizenship agreements) and you meet the specific requirements. Even if someone doesn't, then individuals can still identify with multiple cultures (such as the country of their birth or their parents' origin), but they can have NATIONALITY only for those where they have (or retain) citizenship - and by implication eligibility for a passport. If the alleged felon with the dark skin holds a British passport, then he is a British national.

Nationality isn't defined by skin color. It's defined by the passport.

Anyone any outlets or shops that can etch a small sign (just 2 lines of 3 numbers, maybe 25 x 25mm) on plastic?

No enforcement and AFAIK not even any proper standards. However, my point is that the building owner (wherever the interview/ press briefing took place) could have taken the initiative by installing RCDs at the switch box and doing some regular inspection & testing of electrical appliances*. 99.9% chance this incident would never have happened. * my definition of "proactive"

If you have a home/condo and/or business you certainly have the ability (and responsibility) to make that part of the energy supply network safe. It's not rocket science; properly rated circuit breakers + RCDs + surge protection - and you should sleep a bit better. Up to the point of entry to the building, I'm inclined to agree with your statement.

Nothing will change until RCDs are mandatory everywhere. That's the only action that's 'proactive'.

What does it tell you when even the Thais can manage a 115° turn almost in the middle of Bangkok without too much difficulty? Where there is will, there is an engineering solution.

So far, you're about the only sane voice in a sea of naysayers. Bangkok have had their Pink Line operational for 13 months months now and have a rolling stock of 30 x 4-car trains running on the 34km of track with 30 stations operational (expanded from the original plan of 24). Once the bureaucrats & politicians sorted their s*^& out and actually started construction, it took about 6 years to build. They're ideal for dense urban environments (like Pattaya City) because of the relatively modest footprint of only 4m2 (per column) at ground level. A single parking space for a car occupies at least 13m2 of road space. Once the fast-rail to U-Tapao airport goes through (with the Pattaya station) then some sort of efficient connecting public transport system will be an absolute necessity. The powers to be won't have much choice.

60 Minutes in Australia produced this episode on Being's current situation last week. As you would expect, there's not a lot of in-depth analysis that you can compress into 21 minutes - but it does give a reasonably balanced summation for an audience usually less well informed. We'll have to wait for the movies that will follow in the few years to get more of an insight into the corporate culture.

This is not a specific job application, but I'm asking about general job opportunities for a mature aged (early 40s) Filipino national seeking employment as a CAREGIVER anywhere in Thailand. English skills are excellent (but no Thai), some experience in this field and about to complete a Cert 4 in the Philippines. Ideal position would be in an expat-oriented retirement facility. Is there a list of these potential employers and/or industry organisations that she may be able to approach with a CV?

This may actually be a good thing. The report was triggered by an employee's alert about a compliance breach. As long as the said employee's career prospects aren't now compromised....
