All of the countries adjacent to Thailand were colonized and then most taken over by corrupt communist governments that killed millions of their own citizens and have economies that are a small fraction of Thailand's and infrastructure that is 4th world.
True, but that didn't answer my question

What they are proud of????
Having given away half of the country for not get invaded?
Or for building a big Wall around their kingdom to preserve their culture and leave developments outside?
Or stop any attempts of effective education ?
Tell me!

You don't do it.
As an Irishman I have a feeling that the positions of the south & north have reversed in recent years. The north probably now has a majority for a united Ireland while those in the south like the idea but would vote against on the grounds that the south couldn't afford the cost.
I doubt it. My experience (Limerick) shows that our Republic is ready for a reunification. The EU will be ready to support just to solve the backstop problem. Varadkar should do that step and approach EU and NI.

Brexit is not going to go away just because you want it to. If the Tories get weaker, the Brexit party will get stronger
Sorry, but this is BS. It's not about to get weaker or stronger but to solve the BREXIT problem. The Tories might present a PM, who is not backed by the people, but this is not any kind of solution.
The duty of a good leader is to be ready for compromises and not just following his ego trip.

If this is true, it doesn't help his case. Whether acting or not, it seems he presented himself as a participant, a very important one at that.
He seems to be quite a lot dumb. As an Executive Director he is responsible. Probably he was only greedy for money, didn't read the contract or anything about that company.
If this would have happened in our Countries he would be prosecuted and convicted and sentenced to prison too.
Bad Luck. Face it!

Yes - for the future. But that's not a solution to the Brexit mess in the UK as (A) it would take forever for the UK & Ireland to agree on it (with the usual DUP veto) & (B), if both don't agree then we're back to square one.
That is one of possible hypothesis but in the case of Germany with two political systems even it didn't take long.
Old proverb: if you not try you wouldn't win.
Don't forget that we have an existential crisis in UK. A better time for a solution (here backstop) will hardly come for the Republic.

As usual you expect the government to step in and ignore the voting public.
Try to remember that the government is only elected by the people and the government SHOULD spend more time listening to the people rather than believing that they know better.
Well, then why not a new referendum in the Republic AND Ni.
In these days it's the opportunity for a historical fundamental decision: reunification and being together in a strong block (EU)

The problem in reuniting both parts of Ireland is what to do about the hard core who don't want to join the south, or even those in the south who don't want the north to join?
IT is just done on govt level.

You are making an assumption that BOTH Eire and Northern Ireland even want to join together.
Just suppose that one side says yes and the other says no. What do you do then?
You got me wrong: I was referring to the backstop and a way of solution. As it is evident that the Republic will stay in EU the majority of NI is likely to join EU, means reunite with the other part.
And I gave you the example of Germany. It was not explicit the wish of all Germans to reunite but the decisions of responsible politicians even between West and East. Unfortunately there is a lack of responsible politicians in UK who like to SERVE and not using the country for their ego and own career.

The next act in the Brexit drama has begun. A spectacle that is hard to beat for absurdity and is inexorably striving for its tragic climax.
Only four and a half months later, the extended deadline for Britain's EU exit expires. A historic break is imminent. But the candidates for the succession of Prime Minister Theresa May outdo each other with unsustainable promises. British and continental Europeans have to adjust to violent political and economic upheavals. There will be talk at the Summit of EU Heads of State and Government Thursday and Friday.
Where did the proverbial British pragmatism go? The country, which claims to be the oldest democracy in the world, shows how far the political structural change can mislead entire societies. It's a shame, really.
A reasonable government and a government-ready opposition would come up with realistic plans for the day after Day X in this situation. Because this is now the likely scenario: on October 31, Britain will leave the EU without an agreement in force. A situation that the British Parliament has excluded by majority, but which nevertheless threatens to materialize.

The most easy way to solve the problem with the backstop is to end the anachronism of having 2 Irish States.
It's high time for a reunification!
A good example how to do is Germany.
I guess if you ask the NI people if they want to stay in EU the overwhelming majority would cote for YES.

Auto-Erotic_Asphyxiation... the only question now is, was he set up and killed or was it really a sex game gone bad. I am sure those crack investigators are on it. ????
All his valuables were still in place.
So probably no murder.
But there are a lot of TV detectives and even clairvoyants.
I can lean back in my chair waiting for all those evidences to come

Ultimately, all this is vain and will be proven to be so.
No significant dent (no matter how much merited) will be allowed to be inflicted upon the junta - sorry, 'government'. They did not plan and plot for five years to see their grip on the country loosened and released.
No way!
Ludicrous explanations (excuses) will eventually be produced for the majority of seeming wrong-doing or illegitimacy.
We can depend on it!
There is even another thing you forgot to mention :
Prayut got a lot of time to form a new Govt. He is in no hurry, because as long as it is not clear who is clean, he will have the constitutional right to rule with section 44. This makes it easier for him to decide. It's simply said any dictator's best way.

First of all inform yourself about the meaning of Stasi - not Stazi - I think you don't know anything about that time and open your mouth just for getting attention.
Also I would prefer Oedipus than Narcist Boris.

No it's not. I'm talking about the so-called subsidies into the UK from the EU "budget", which is our money in the first place.
If you won't get that money ask your farmers...... but sure you are not interested because living in Thailand. You are talking a lot but....

£39 billion would cover anything that the EU may subsidising for at least 10 years. Much of that money is wasted anyway.
That's nonsense. You are participating in a lot of EU Programs, science, Military, health aso.

Just heard on news last night that motorbike accidents are on the rise. This is in Austria. Bikers think they are immortal, they race down high mountain roads and every so often one takes off into space over the edge or hits something. Bikers leave their brains at home when they get on the bike. Same everywhere, not only Thailand.
Buying a big bike is the first step into the Coffin.

19 minutes ago, JonnyF said:Yes, the referendum was an excellent example of Democracy. A huge turnout, Leave won.
Parliament then conspiring to block leaving is an excellent example of a failing Democracy. So if they continue to attempt to block the implementation of the democratic vote then I am all in favour of prorogation. Parliament pitting themselves against the people (the source of their legitimacy) is a failure of the UK's democratic system.
You think allowing Parliament to overturn the largest democratic exercise in British history is democratic? Going against their own manifesto on which they were elected? Against the legislation they themselves enacted?
After more than 3 years more facts are on the table in order to review

It seems to me that our economy will be in a safe pair of hands, maybe he will show the EU the £39 billion for photo shoot then retrieve it after the shot.
That is very short sighted. If you won't pay the bills EU would stop immediately subsidising projects started years ago already in UK. To make it easy for you to understand: a hospital without a roof or a road going to nowhere or a bridge half way crossing a river.
Boris is a gambler and charlatan but not stupid. The move will come after being PM, following his buddy David Cameron.

That's right, however as an Executive he opened an account on his name and were able to get a Statement. Probably they promised him a lot more than only 15 k bucks. The whole story stinks. Let the court decide.
