True but considering the British way of life is a mixture of boozing, Friday night punch ups, television and football I would choose Thailand anytime.

It beats most areas in the UK hands down.

I have never understood why water buffaloes are kept, they aren't used for anything these days and yet farmers in my area keep herds of 10 or more, beautiful creatures to be sure.....but why?

Depends on which bar he sits in.

Not where I am but even if, what is the point of getting hysterical about it? You can change nothing and in all likelihood neither can 'the powers that be' make much difference. Cities and towns produce pollution, even aboriginal tribes in Australia have lung damage due to lying close to open fires to keep insects away, pristine air conditions are a myth as is pure drinking water, processed food contains harmful chemicals, micro plastics have even been found in Antarctica, never mind in the air and food in cities. Most early Homines didn't live past 25 and yet we live to be 80 or more despite our modern pollution, everything is a trade off. PM 2.5 particles are a temporary problem, it's not all year round and will come and go.

Sack the lot of them.

The pope should call for a holy crusade to free the UK

It's true that there is a poor garbage handling system here but in my neck of the woods there has been a huge improvement. When I first moved into my village, burning rubbish was quite normal now it would be frowned upon, people take their household rubbish in bin bags to the market town (17 km) when they do their weekly shopping and deposit them in the bins supplied. I haven't seen field burning for years.

In the 60's London used to be called 'the smoke', I've driven home from work when you couldn't see two cars ahead, nobody knew what at PM number was, or cared. I live 60 km from Surin (NE) in the countryside, blue sky and fresh air here.

definitely his writing style......good to have him back.

The 'Health and safety officers' will be checking the installations.....oh wait...

Just another American failure in a long line of lost proxy wars, where's John Wayne when you need him.

What a picture that would be, a close up of a sharks throat, slightly blurry.

My Thai/British son (17) is fluent in both languages but says he prefers English as it's an easier language, this is reflected in his school marks which are only sufficient for Thai but top marks for English, This isn't surprising as his English teacher has given over the English lessons to my son to teach, I feel sorry for his students as my son has no patience.

Obviously a lesbian with a dick. Any man who truly identifies as a woman should have the 'operation' before his mental illness can be taken seriously.

any side that's free

He looks like a nice boy

Not so bad, he is an experience richer and that's what holidays are about.

If Xi says no then it wont happen.

Islam with a touch of Jesus? Blessed are the peacemakers pastor....Musk will hang himself as acting president, Trump wants that job.

High personal debt, lower living standards, increasing homelessness, rising unemployment, poverty on the rise, the collapsing American empire causing an egoic loss of being number one in the world (see 'make America great again') Trump promises to turn the clock back, this simplistic message was easy to understand and found favour with a large portion of the populace whose earlier high standard of living (the American dream) was fueled by having the world's reserve currency allowing their standard of living to be paid for by the rest of the world. The rise of Europe, China, India, the formation of BRICS and the exporting of American production to S.E. Asia is a harbinger of Americas downfall, the continuation of rolling over its huge debt to the rest of the world is being called into question. Nobody takes American bullying seriously anymore. A good example of how poorly thought out Trumps 'imperialist' tariffs are is China now banning exports of tungsten to the USA as an answer to Trumps tariffs on China, China produces 90% of the worlds tungsten, America produces none, tungsten is needed in a myriad of industries from metal to electronics. Canada sells vast amounts of LNG cheaply to the US which then gets sold on for a higher price to Europe and Japan, Canada now, due to America's bellicose statements (51st state) and sanctions, realizes it can sell directly to Europe and Japan for a higher price than to America but still cheaper than America can supply to the world. These are just two examples of how America is shooting it's feet off. USAID reduction now allows China to woo African and Asian countries into its sphere of influence. Trump is accelerating America's demise.

It's up to the British people to ignore the fad, they can't arrest us all. The waste of money concerning gay and trans promotion should be a matter for the courts, the opposition isn't working well, possibly because they have their own ideological skeletons packed away from view. The crazy ideology being pushed forward by intellectuals doesn't concern the vast majority of the public although it should do. The British way of dealing with such travesties of common sense was to use humour and hold it up to ridicule but the powerful vocal view have managed to curtail freedom of speech to the extent that only giants of comedy like Ricky Gervaise can risk attacking this dangerous movement. Fortunately stupidity doesn't have much staying power, there is no public consensus and the backlash will eventually come.

They all say they're Irish from waaaaay back but then something unpleasant happened to them.
