    Personally I think that Thai insurance companies are not regulated very well.  Most insurance companies are happy to take your money but in return will look for ways not to pay out, but Thai insurance companies seem to have less government oversight of their predatory practices that international companies.  

    Anyone insure their homes with an international insurance provider?  Maybe that's what the Op needs in the future.

    Global Insurance Pattaya. Perfect service

    Yes Captain Obvious.

     

    But a majority is a majority and losing is losing. It is up to each side to work towards accommodating the other regardless if the divide is 4% or 40%. Unfortunately, the Tories, hamstrung by the loss of majority with that fatally flawed 2018 snap election, have been less inclined to cross the floor and engage in a serious domestic tête-à-tête with the losing side. Instead of presenting a stiff hand to the EU face and the admonishment to Brussels to wait their turn while the UK's domestic issues were agreed, the virtually ex- PM stupidly, prematurely and vaingloriously pulled the Article 50 pin with all the fake "I'm in charge here" bravado she could muster.

    Because of 52/48 A coaltion between Labour and Tories would be the best for the sake of UK.

    What makes you so sure? It's a not uncommon ploy for one side to insert something expendable in a document, prior to negotiation, which later can be removed as a phony concession to get the the rest of the deal agreed.

     

    Or do you consider the EU mandarins mentally or morally incapable of such deception?

    One has to be a mandarin as you said and one is the servant. Such is life.

    Why would you let one deal run out, then have no deal and lots of headache and then start to make a new deal.

    Isn't it much better to make a new deal in time before the old deal expires?

     

    It's like living on an island and you have a food supplier who brings your fresh foo every day. And you know that supplier's contract runs out in a couple of months. What do you do? Renew the deal or make another deal before the existing deal runs out? Or wait until the deal is finished and discover the next day: Where is my food? What a surprise, the contact run out. Maybe I should make a new contract. Why didn't I think about that months ago?

    What a nonsense! 

    You cannot (allowed) start for new deals before you have left EU.

    May's deal meant we would have left the EU in name only!

    That's why people weren't happy about it.

    That's why it was rejected 3 times in Parliament.

    That's why she has had to finally resign.

    May's deal wasn't her deal, it was Juncker's deal dictating

    to May what is to be agreed.

     

    Only way to leave is on WTO or a free trade deal with no ties 

    to the custom union, and no Irish border backstop.

    Otherwise it's not what leave means. 

    Exactly, a clean cut is impossible. Who believes this believes in Santa Claus and Virgin Maria. 

    There will be always a close connection between UK and EU. Trade reasons. EU is the biggest market for UK.

    You forgot to mention Boris stabbing Cameron in the back in order to get the job and then running away and hiding behind the patsy May until it was safe to come out again and make his move.  So if people want a coward and a back stabbing liar as PM then vote for Boris!

    Sure, but it's just a rivalty and game between those guys. Nothing serious. More a sham and shame business

    Johnson, the face of the official Brexit campaign in 2016, is the favourite to succeed May, with betting markets giving him a 40% implied probability of winning the top job.

    This is the story of two buddies. They met when they were young. Drinking, whoring, Studying that was their Life, spending family's money at one of the best school in this country. 

    After having finished university the one became Prime Minister, the other Mayor of London, because only one of two could get the Top Job. OK, you first, said Boris. When his friend quit his Job, with a tune on his lips, Boris started his way to follow his friend's Job. And now he knocks at number 10.

    "I'm here now to take over that lousy job"

    Two buddies both succeeded as PM. 

    And the public? 

    Believed them both. 

    It's just a Job, nothing else.
