Anyone any idea how that private letter got into the public domain.

As I understand it he gave an "edited" version to the press.

This is all about money... the Markle's should have done their home work first, Inlaws to the royal family are not taken on the pay role, they are like pet poodles, may get some tit bit's if they are good, but also a boot where it hurts if they go sh---ing all over the place.

More crime is solved by the public whilst Plod checks driving licences.

I suspect more people are killed by unqualified & DUI drivers than by burglars.

And further evidence that Russia should not sell arms to dumbos who can't tell the difference between an airliner and a war plane.

And if the Russian don't sell the Americans will...

This is a high stakes poker game...

As I recall it was not that long ago when Harry lost more than his shirt in a game of billiards in Vagus.

So now we have someone who thinks army personnel aren't issued with instructions when to fire missiles. More attempts at whitewashing our Iranian Mullah friends.

Clearly they never understood the instructions, I find it hard to comprehend how you can mistake a cruse missile with a 737. 737 is a lot larger (about 80tons compared to the cruse missile typically 1.5tons), in the climb probably less than 300mph (500Km/h) where as a Cruse Missile probably 500mph (800km/h)

Right

but this has happened 2 min from Iran's international airport. Where the air defense must know about flight schedule (if no radar available) since their site located too close to the airport (very sensitive location) and aircrafts fly lower altitude. If it is a restricted area then it should be no fly zone. 
It means that some missile operators suddenly woke up and saw a flying object in sky, right. 
educate yourself before getting in any argument, suggested.  

The issue is Supper Powers supplying some of the most sophisticated military hardware to be operated by conscripted radicalised hot heads...

Iran has some top notch hardware with some hot heads operating it, my thoughts are that the US spooked the Iranians into thinking the had launched drones that were undetectable by radar.

Tens of thousands of people had poured onto the streets of Kerman to pay tribute to General Qassem Soleimani,

Not a time to gloat. 

IMHO a very conservative estimate, probably a few hundred of thousands, but then I suspect this was orchestrated to cram as many into a compact space for show... as a result 35 or more lost their lives.☹️

Do you think Iran, with its oil reserves under sanction, can effect the price of oil?

No, but the uncertainty of the stability of the rest of the Middle east can... 

Donny must have read Magie's biography.

When it looks like you are going to loose an election... start a full blown out war.

The man was arrested and taken to Pattaya police station. It was also discovered he does not have a license to own a firearm. 

Not surprised, given the number of drivers without a valid driving licence.

Am I not right in thinking that the Thai military have access to some of the best medical facilities in Thailand?

And Thailand is not a third world country as some posters portray it to be?

I hope Boeing consulted cryingdick before sacking Muilenburg, if not he will not be a happy boy, Boeing cannot do anything without consulting him first.

Well Boeing's shares have not fallen any further today...

To a certain extent I agree. But only to a certain extent, under his leadership the Boeing reaction to the 2 crashes was woefully inadequate.

You have a point,  Just wonder with $billions at stake if say he were to have confided with senior directors that he was considering pulling the plug on the Max that he may have meet with an unfortunate accident...

Well I hope that one good thing that will come out of Brexit is end of shysters bringing in van loads of fags and tobacco claiming it is for their personal use and selling it cheep on the black market.
