Regarding the UK police force. Years ago it was made up with many ex servicemen. Men who were trained to deal with and get stuck in to sort things out. Now it seems it comprises of ex college and university students that do not have the backbone to enforce the law. From the reports I have seen on the news, they spend time discussing why the offender should not do what he or she is doing. Following instruction from the top to not offend anyone. What confidence does it give the public when dealing with a heavily tattooed, manbunned and bearded copper?

It was an elephant and not a pink one. It's mahoot was using it to collect money and it shot across the road in front of me. Many suburban roads in Bangkok are still badly lit.

9 hours ago, Social Media said:A troubling new survey has revealed that nearly half of Britons no longer believe the police will respond to reports of burglary or car theft. This growing crisis in public confidence highlights the challenges faced by law enforcement and the consequences of systemic underfunding.
According to the poll, 46 percent of adults have abandoned the expectation that a home burglary will be properly investigated, while 49 percent hold the same belief regarding car thefts. The situation is particularly dire among older citizens, with 54 percent of those aged 65 and above expressing doubt that officers would attend a burglary at their property.
Adding to the alarming findings, eight percent of Britons admitted they have delayed contacting the police after experiencing a crime. Of these, a quarter believed that officers would take too long to respond, while over a third felt the police would not have the time or resources to take the matter seriously.
This erosion of trust comes despite a 2023 directive from then-Home Secretary Suella Braverman mandating that police attend every reported burglary. However, the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) has acknowledged that resource constraints make such a policy challenging. An NPCC spokesperson noted, "An immediate response may not be possible or appropriate if the resident is away or does not want us to attend."
The Police Federation, representing 145,000 officers across England and Wales, echoed these concerns, citing insufficient resources to meet the demand for consistent responses to crimes.
The survey also highlighted broader issues, with two in five adults expressing a lack of confidence that police would respond effectively to street assaults. These findings have drawn sharp criticism from the Liberal Democrats, who commissioned the poll.
Lisa Smart, the Liberal Democrats' Home Affairs spokesperson, described the results as "scandalous" but not surprising given the current state of law enforcement. "This crisis in confidence is a direct consequence of years of neglect and mismanagement from the previous Conservative government," she stated. "They decimated frontline policing and left our communities to pay the price. People deserve to feel confident that if they do fall victim to crime, the police will turn up and properly investigate. The new government must act urgently to restore the public's trust in policing. That requires a return to proper community policing—keeping our communities safe and reducing crime with more bobbies on the beat."
Recent statistics paint a bleak picture of police effectiveness. In the three months leading up to June 2024, officers in England and Wales failed to solve 31,980 domestic burglaries—equivalent to three out of every four cases. Out of 42,488 recorded investigations during the same period, only 2,494 resulted in charges, a mere six percent.
The Liberal Democrats have called on ministers to take decisive action by guaranteeing that all domestic burglaries are attended to and thoroughly investigated. The party argues that such measures are essential to rebuilding public trust and ensuring the safety of communities across the country.

Perhaps they are too busy arresting people for speaking their minds.

Elephants are very difficult to see in dimly lit areas at night. I know from experience. I nearly ran into one about twenty years ago. And this was in a Bangkok suburb.

I stopped reading Lee Childs way back. He became too repetitive. Storyline much the same. Only the names were changed to protect the innocent. I've just finished a Lynda La Plante, Royal Flush and well into Jeffry Archers, The Fourth Estate. Good reads.

Nope. I was ninety-one three weeks ago. I'm not looking forward to old age.😉

But wait. I recall Trump while campaigning, saying that he would end the war in something like 24 hours after taking control of the White House once again. Oh well, I guess that bold statement is akin to his now failed promise to lower food prices. Many of us knew that he was just blowing smoke out his rear to garner votes. Stinky but it seems to have worked.
Typical Trump. 'I've heard ducks fart before' as my old mum used to say.

It would seem that firearm ownership in Thailand is approaching that in the USA. When I first came to Thailand nearly forty years ago reported shootings were rare. Maybe because of no internet but I doubt it. Is Thailand now the Hub of firearm ownership in South East Asia?

I think that maybe this is an age issue. I turned 91 a couple of weeks ago and certainly do not worry too much if at all during the day. But during the night after the usual trips to the toilet I have difficulty getting back to sleep. I've found the answer is reading a book, which sends me off to sleep. Fortunately, I don't have any medical problems that I'm aware of other than bits wearing out that come with old age. I'm not looking forward to it.😉

All people breed like rabbits inside strong families. Ordinary courts with all these human rights nonsense in their heads destroy families by overprotecting women. This leads to depopulation and extinction of the indigenous white population.
UK should take a closer look at the successful experience of Eastern democracies and Sharia courts inside the UK.But one a year maybe. Not six.

And these are not white Christian women who are independent and self-sufficient thanks to the courts that protect their rights. An independent and self-sufficient woman does not need more than 1 child - she produces it and sends her husband far away. While Sharia courts do not protect women to that degree. So muslim women need men to be safe - and they want to save their families. Then strong families continue produce more and more Muhammads. That is your future - Sharia laws will become de facto laws everywhere.
So, the Supreme God`s Court has signed the verdict on the civil courts of London and ordered that they be replaced by Sharia courts.With half a dozen wives they are breeding like rabbits. Wake up UK. Sorry. It's too late.

I'm using an ASUS laptop and a Samsung monitor. Recently horizontal coloured lines have appeared on the top of the monitor screen. Why and how to fix it?

Let us hope he keeps a strict eye on the quality and not just leave it to the manager. I've seen quite a few negative reviews of his restaurants. Overpriced and under quality. Out of my price range anyway.

More to the point. Why does anyone want to get a tattoo that disfigures their bodies for life? Female or male. A pair of Blue Tits tattooed on a nineteen-year-old girl's breasts will look like a pair of vultures perched over dead meat when sixty years old.😉

We all know that. This is Thailand. But it does happen in other countries as well.
