  1. Copied from the BBC report Muhammad Fahir Amaaz was struck by a firearms officer at Manchester Airport after he and his brother Amaad Amaaz were arrested following a violent clash with police on 23 July. All immigrants should be on a probationary period of say 5 years and if involved in crime of any sort , should be sent back to their country of origin . No one is condoning the police action of kicking and stamping on the head of the tasered Muslim but taken in its right context the police officers had been attacked , heavily assaulted without any provocation , ending up with 3 officers in hospital including the female officer who was punched in the face which broke her nose and also a deep cut . The police officers were fighting for their lives and although the kicking was wrong I am 100% in support of them . The Muslims had been causing problems at the airport , hence the arrests . The cheap shot attack on the police is unforgivable . Indeed in the U.S.A. the Muslims would have been shot .
  2. Plus you have to have an account with them , log in and password . Then they include all the additions e.g. insurance , seat selection etc which inflates the fare price and you must remove these add ons before you confirm the booking . I just tried to make a straight forward domestic booking on their " Air Asia Move " site and it froze and also said no flights available which is not true . Using Booking .com is much easier to book the AA flights . Awful online booking system but they dont seem to realize that . . Cannot speak to a live c/s person but have to use their robot instead . Nok Air site is better .
  3. I suppose you think it was OK for the Muslims to attack the police in Manchester airport . The Muslim thugs are yet to be arrested , why ? they should be deported along with their families . Now a second police officer has been suspended and still no action on the Muslims . No wonder police recruitment is proving difficult .
  4. What a brave speech , well spoken and should be broadcast UK nation wide .
  5. Wrong . When the UK was an EU member and were flooded with European workers , under the free movement of labour , many local UK workers were put out of work because of cheap labour from Europe . Not only did they lose their jobs but houses too . Large corporations are driving migration globally to increase their profits . Behind the scenes lobbying from big money businesses are controlling governments .
  6. I agree with you . Over 1 million a year have entered the UK both legally and illegally . that has made a huge impact on housing , the NHS , especially getting a doctors appointment and the steep rise of crime rates . Only a small percentage are working and making a contribution to the country . Their cultures and ways of living are alien to those of the UK and many want to continue their habits and not to integrate . Most UK citizens agree that the UK has changed so much over the last 20 or so years and not for the better . I would not like to be raising a young family in the UK now . However it is human instinct to survive and protect your family and that is why there is so much emigration globally . I believe that the western governments should have helped the poor countries and show how to develop prosperity in order to give a decent life in their homeland . BTW over 50,000 UK citizens emigrated from the UK last year taking with them many skills . UK has a brain drain going on and just wait till this lying Labour government try to build their housing targets . There are not to many UK builders to build the houses so allowing foreign labour to work in the UK may well happen .
  7. So true . Thailand seems to be geared up to charge foreigners Western prices , especially in the big towns . Small towns you can expect to pay the lower local price but there are exceptions , such as hospitals , national parks and some services if they know you are a farang . E.G. , my recent experience in Bangkok , 2 small Chang beers cost 303 baht when the price list showed 129 baht each .Then they added v.a.t. and a service charge . To buy in Makro a 24 bottle case of small Chang is equal to 33 baht each .
  8. Need to find the 7th person who never checked in . CCTV may hold a clue . Has to be a strong motive and reason to take out 6 people .
  9. Sim card routers are gaining in popularity, even in the UK . A friend in the UK has an Archer 600 tp-link , same as Sportrider . My question is , am I right in assuming you must have a decent clear passage to a transmission mast or would a good indicator be a good signal strength on your phone . Buying the Archer 600 is not cheap and if it does not perform well it would be a waste of money . BTW I have often heard that True sim cards perform well .
  10. No need for that because Biden is on a self destruction mode every time he speaks . Heads will roll because of the lack of surveillance for the rally that enabled a sniper to make the assassination attempt . Basic risk assessment / protection methods not fulfilled . Even when a member of the public told the police that there was a man on the roof of a nearby building , Trump was not removed from the lectern . Hindsight is a wonderful thing and I expect security measures to be stepped up for both Trump & Biden . Even to the extent of Pope mobile type protection . Yesterdays event has been an embarrassment for American security measures . Political persuasions must unite in condemning this horrific act . The N.R.A. should be making a statement and not oppose a change in the Constitution of American gun ownership . Gun shooting in America is a daily event and hardly headline news .
  11. 30 baht gold health care is for Thai folk only , I assume . Chatting with friends we came up with the idea of a Thai government health scheme for foreigners living long term in Thailand . Making it mandatory could be considered with exemption if a private insurance is already held . So with an estimated 3 - 4 million foreigners living in Thailand it would be a viable proposition for the government . Obviously not a 30 baht scheme but a plan that would be affordable by most .
  12. Fascinating subject and thanks for your video but I am only really interested in a basic solar system , without batteries , that can run 2 air cons , using 42000 btu , a large display fridge and 4 ceiling fans .For me it is all about the months of March , April , May & June when the temperature is high and so are my bills . The rest of the year my consumption and bills are normal range . So what do you think the system would cost including installation by a competent person ? BTW , keep it simple please because like many a layman the technicalities of solar are beyond my understanding .
  13. Exactly my thoughts and could be applied in Thailand and it is a way out for the Thai government and not to lose face . So cannabis users simply get a prescription from their doctors which states reasons for use . May need a bit of tweaking but solved and to appease all concerned . Alternative is to drive it underground / uncontrolled and those that want it will always get it as was before it became legal .
  14. You made me laugh , are you sure you are not quoting a personal experience ? Similar to asking for a friend 555
  15. My preference is Thai Air . Non stop is much better that going through that Arab security and another check in / boarding . Also I always take the flight that arrives in Suvarabhumi at about 06 15 am as it enables me to get to Don Muang airport and fly to north east Thailand the same day. The other Thai Air flight hits Bangkok at about 3 15 pm along with Eva Air which means a night in a hotel , plus taxis etc . The food on Thai Air and Eva Air have always been decent in the economy but Eva Air are more generous with serving alcohol . I have pulled my wings in a bit over the last year as the cost of flying from the UK to Thailand seems to have doubled , at least . Also I never book a flight with an agent , always direct with the airline and use a credit card for protection. Many agents will offer a good deal but beware because once they have your money some of them are difficult to contact ,may cancel or change your booking at an increased fare cost . BTW , IMO Thai Air have always been reliable when booking and the flight experience is better than many other air lines
  16. I agree that illegal immigrants in the should be returned to where they came from and that belief is gathering support throughout Europe . Illegal immigrants are criminals . Immigrants must be vetted for criminal background checks , plus their skill level and ability to contribute to the economy . That vetting takes time and hence the long stay in hotels etc . Leaving the ECHR would enable the UK government to take back control of illegal immigration . Interesting days ahead under the new Labour government as they never really came up with a definitive plan on illegal immigration . Starmer was a huge voice in criticizing Sunak over the immigration numbers .
  17. Out of the controlling EU chains , is why the nation voted for Brexit . Unfortunately the BJ exit negotiations were not ideal . The EU hated the UK for leaving and even now they still bear resentments . Next thing to do is leave the ECHR because that still has a big say on how the UK controls immigration . Many of my European friends here in Thailand admire Brexit and wish their countries would do the same . However the leaders of the EU see their dreams as the "United Europe " . They are control freaks , none more so than Macron who is so out of touch with his people and is now suffering the consequences . Farage and the "Reform Party " have got my backing . I was once a backer of the Tory Party but because of the uncontrolled immigration , the cost of living , lousy house building and planning laws , the collapse of the NHS etc , enough is enough .
  18. This auto system does not work for me at arrivals in Heathrow . Then , after waiting to use the auto system which failed for me I was told to join the back of the long zig zag queues for the I/O p/p control . These auto systems are a pain ( even when checking in at Heathrow ) and a staff member often has to help . In a similar way , UK supermarkets and DIY stores are using a self service check out that often has long queues , to cut back on staffing levels . I have seen customers leave their shopping trolleys , rather than use these auto systems . There is often confusion from infrequent users and the elderly . If these systems break down there is mayhem with literally thousands of travelers stranded and the lack of I/Os means that there are delays at PP control of 5, 6, 7 hours as happened at Heathrow last year . Expensive and not necessary , just employ more staff .
  19. The Reform party have got all other parties running scared . WHY ? because Farage is not only speaking the truth he is presenting the views of many UK citizens . Because he puts " true Brits first " he is accused of being a racist .He has got it right with charity starts at home . Leaving the ECHRs has to be done in order to control immigration . I watched the latest BBC Question Time which was televised from Birmingham . Why Birmingham ? that is a typical city that has many immigrants and thus , a toxic audience for Farage to face . Talk about being thrown into the lions den . However Farage is a strong and brave character and gave a good performance . I choose my words carefully but was that audience a biased selection ? Even the deputy leader of the Green party who opened the debate was having a pop at Farage & the Reform party . The British public will see through all of this stitch up , especially the Channel 4 secret filming .
  20. US presidential Winner · Donald Trump 8/13 · Joe Biden 4/1 · Gavin Newsom 9/1 · Michelle Obama 20/1. Kamala Harris 25/1
  21. The DEMS are in a dilemma . If Biden stays it is odds on that Trump wins . If Biden steps down it could turn ugly for the DEMS as a free for all scramble from candidates erupts which will have a negative impact on their chances to win the election as they will be seen as a disorganized party . Now if the deputy ( Kamala Harris ) was capable of taking the reigns , that could have been an acceptable ploy but under the US Constitution that can only happen during a term and not to become a prime candidate . However the 25th Amendment of the Constitution allows the vice president and cabinet to declare the president not able to perform his duties of office and the power is transferred to the vice president . However KH is not a popular figure apparently , so that will not happen .
  22. I have sympathy for the American public because last night's performance by Biden was embarrassing . Like it or not , Biden is not only the president of the USA but also the leader of the free world and at the helm they have a man who is clearly past his sale by date . I am not discriminating against Biden because of his age but because of his obvious mental frailties . How could Biden possibly see out another 5 year term in office . It is a position that affects global peace and demands important decisions and reactions . If Biden or his wife have any sense , Biden should step aside now for the sake of the American people and the free world .
  23. Did you watch the electioneering debate on Wednesday night ? ( Early morning in Thailand ) . To me Sunak was the clear winner with Starmer unable to answer questions on the Labour Mandate funding and taxes . Sunak is a highly intelligent man who is trying to save a drowning Tory government . If only he would admit that the Tory governments of recent years had caused many problems in the UK ,and that he would rectify it , which would be an admission of poor Tory management , to which the public would admire . Alas I fear that the damage is done and Labour will be the new UK government . Reform to be the opposition or maybe form a coalition ?
  24. Fireflies are fascinating to watch , an amazing sight that scientists are studying and not sure of the way they work . BTW I am also in Issan and have not seen any fireflies this year , despite the rains but have seen many termite butterflies after the rain has stopped . Have to turn off the house lights because somehow they will find a way in .
  25. Many Jelly fish , other forms of aquatic life that can be a danger , rip tides , whirl pools , pollution are the main reasons I choose not to swim in Thailand .
