Nobody seems to know how she can remember the conversation verbatim. The first place it appeared seems to be her Twitter account. There are a number of people suggesting she wore a microphone, which seems possible, otherwise how would she remember the whole conversation.

I provided links at the bottom of the quotes.

It seems a long conversation to memorise . Do we know where the transcript came from, was she being recorded?

I can pull off a Thai accent but they still ask me "where are you from?" I know I am not the only one, many of my friends have lived here a long time or were even born here. The difference being , this is Thailand , you laugh about it and make jokes, it brightens up everyone's day. Here we actually talk about the elephant in the room "I don't look Thai" , well that is because my ancestry is not Thai, same as this woman's ancestry is not British. It's really quite simple , there is no reason to get offended. In the UK you get someone fired, demand an apology and say you feel abused. Different world!

Just because I am challenging a story about one woman who happens to be black it doesn't make me racist. If I were a man would that make me sexist too?

They are now campaigning for Valerie’s Law, which advocates for mandatory Cultural Competency training that accounts for the cultural nuances and barriers, colloquialisms, languages and customs that make up the diverse black community. Valerie’s Law aims to enable police officers, relevant government agencies and domestic violence safehouses staff to acknowledge and protect black women in abusive situations through an understanding. https://bootstrapcharity.com/blog/meet-sistah-space/

They talk again and again, both on the link and their own website, about being set up for African heritage and black women: SISTAH SPACE IS A COMMUNITY-BASED NON-PROFIT INITIATIVE CREATED TO BRIDGE THE GAP IN DOMESTIC ABUSE SERVICES FOR AFRICANHERITAGE WOMEN AND GIRLS. THE SISTAH SPACE IS A SPECIALIST CHARITY THAT SUPPORTS AFRICAN & CARIBBEAN HERITAGE WOMEN AFFECTED BY DOMESTIC AND SEXUAL ABUSE, UK WIDE. FOUNDED AS A RESPONSE TO THE TRAGIC MURDER OF VALERIE FORDE AND HER 22-MONTH OLD DAUGHTER 'BABY RJ’ WERE BY VALERIE'S EX-PARTNER (AND BABY RJ'S FATHER) IN 2014. THIS CATASTROPHIC EVENT HIGHLIGHTED THE NEED FOR AN ORGANISATION TO TACKLE DOMESTIC ABUSE IN AFRICAN HERITAGE FAMILIES AND WAS THE CATALYST FOR THE CREATION OF SISTAH SPACE. THROUGH THEIR EXPERTISE IN PROVIDING SUPPORT AROUND DOMESTIC & SEXUAL ABUSE, SISTAH SPACE ADDRESSES THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF AFRICAN & CARIBBEAN HERITAGE SURVIVORS OF ABUSE BY TACKLING THE INTERSECTIONALITY OF RACISM AND GENDER BASED VIOLENCE. https://www.sistahspace.org/about-us

Ngozi seems pretty capable of demeaning herself, she doesn't need my help. It's there in her own words that she created the charity for black women. Of course the charity shop is open to everyone - anyone can walk into a charity shop and buy stuff. I have no idea what free assistance might be , it could be a leaflet or website which anyone can access.

Then maybe they should alter the description of their charity to be more inclusive! Quote from Ngozi "“We see this with the anniversary memorial of Sarah Everard, which is all over the media, and the brief mention of Nessa, who’s a teacher that was murdered. There’s only mention of white and brown women in the media, and a total disregard for black women, hence the need to create Sistah Space.”, explains Ngozi." https://bootstrapcharity.com/blog/meet-sistah-space/ Let's face it she couldn't be clearer! She basically says that she created it for black women!

If a charity is set up that helps army veterans and says so in it's charity description, you can pretty much bet it only helps army veterans. Whether they have helped the odd person who is not an army veteran is pretty much irrelevant as they were set up to help army veterans and quite clearly state that. The same would be said of a charity that is set up to help those that are black and/or of African heritage

So in other words they might help white South Africans and Indians from the African continent or the Caribbean? However they do seem to use the terms "African heritage" and "black" interchangeably. I wonder if white South Africans would take that as a microaggression?

You said previously: Now you accept that they only help black women. My point was that if you discriminate on the basis of colour does that not constitute racism , which makes her guilty of the same thing that she is accusing someone else of doing.

At the top of the link it says "MEET SISTAH SPACE: HELPING BLACK WOMEN SUFFERING DOMESTIC ABUSE"

"Sistah Space advocate for African heritage women and girls of African and Caribbean heritage affected by abuse." https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regId=1179934&subId=0

I couldn't care a less, but that means it should also be possible to have charities that are only for whites/ native British/Indian descent/ Polish etc. etc.

... as the head of a charity that only helps black people !

It's bonkers . When I tell Thais that I am Thai , they immediately ask me where I really come from. Should I be on the telly demanding people get fired and telling people how I feel abused. It's ridiculous.

With less cash used , people lose the ability to count. Thais were generally not good with mental arithmetic anyway but it has got much worse! People will simply not be able to budget.

Difficult to discuss unless you point out what the actual claims were. So far it seems to be the claim that a cashless society would make us like China. In so far as we might have a health pass, digital ID and CBDC that would make us pretty much the same as the Chinese model but not exactly like China as a country.

Well maybe it depends if you think a Chinese style government is synonymous with a lack of freedom or not. Whether it leads to a one party Communist state or not is irrelevant; you can lose your economic freedom under any type of government. But don't worry it will be for your own good and be ultra-convenient - our governments are well aware that altruism is seen as an attractive quality.

If banks go bust it will be bail-in rather than bailout. Not too bad if you only have the insurable amount in each bank but bad news if you have over that amount.

It all depends on your definition of "conspiracy" and just because it is called a "conspiracy" it doesn't mean that it is not true. It is a plan because it has been going on in Thailand since at least 2019. It isn't exactly secret but then it isn't something the ordinary guy on the street would be reading about. https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2022/08/05/thailands-central-bank-extends-retail-cbdc-study-to-pilot-phase/ Limited area, limited users and limited services - it is basically a coupon. It is like having a Boots gift coupon - you won't be able to spend it anywhere other than Boots. Think about how your gift coupon differs from a thousand baht note.

Maybe we should differentiate between cards/apps (methods to pay not using cash) and full blown CBDC (virtual money). Cards and apps do provide institutions with data but CBDCs will remove any possibility of privacy (as well as providing lots of data) and it will introduce a monetary system which is programmable. Some people might think this is great and they live under a benevolent governmental system but others might think differently ! CBDC removes any choice and it is not something anyone voted for.

Well they have "switched off" their health passes in the past to stop them going to the bank. Once they roll out digital ID's and digital currency it is pretty much game over.

You control the money; you control the people.
