eliotness

If there was a 30 cm rise in the sea level it would be worldwide. Not the case, so therefore either the Land is sinking or it's a tidal effect.  Typical "global warming" scare story.

I think Theresa May will be incapable of spouting any democratic values following the planned march on July 14th.  Free Tommy !

When Lotus, Big C, 7/11 etc start selling cloth bags and charging for plastic bags, then I'll believe things might change.  But no sign yet, especially here in Isaan.

Waste segregation is the key, a thing which Thais need to improve on. Sadly they've a long way to go.

I've never seen a Thai "waste disposal site" having any resemblance to a landfill. They are just dumps without the machines to handle the waste to any International standard. I've seen much better waste management in Africa.

If I were Trump I'd refuse to make an appearance in Britain until the government cleans up its act and would not mince words as usual.

Trump could really stir the pot and come out in support of Tommy Robinson.

Doubt it, and suspect they will mostly be students and 'minorities'.

 

Why on earth would "unemployed losers" (as you phrase it ☹️) - care one way or the other?

Simple  -  Rent a Mob .  I've seen them at one protest talkking about which was the next demo they were going on,  that was mid week and mid term, so not workers or students.

So they are going to solve the water pollution problem this year !  Either wishful thinking or a blatant lie.

Seen a similar accident in the UK many years ago on the M6.  However the Police were quickly on the scene to prevent looters.  The load wasn't beer though, it was cans of baked beans.

There goes another embosomed tradition. Women's liberation comes with a price. Now they need falangs doing the job...
 
      

Was that fothr real?us

Probably.  Judging by the style of clothing it was taken during WW1 when most of the farm horses were taken to serve the various armies.

The name of the party should be "Thai Rent a mob", which judging by what happened just before the coup, would be most fitting.

There will be a rush for delivery of some Chinese tanks very soon.

I got caught with a big queue on a Monday a few years ago.  Now I go mid week and there's minimum queuing. 

Where money talks morals take a back seat !

HIV is rife in Uganda, must be some stupid "customers".

So the Remoan campaign continues.  What about the leaflets sent to every house by  Cameron just before the " deadline ' trying to convince everyone to vote remain.  The People have voted, end of story !

Looks as If Trump is putting the brakes on the climate change gravy train !

Again we get the official Thai version and everything is OK.  I'd like to read the American version.  Could be a good excuse for Trump to cut the trade deficit by banning Thai seafood !

Years ago I was told by an ex Red Cross field worker how the bigwigs spent most of the money.  I have never given a penny to them since.

The race track and the football warrant a bigger airport.

For those teachers among us, There is a good teaching package produced by The British Council called 'Litter".  I recommend it.

But China has 20 times the population of Thailand!

 

A more reasoned stat is to state plastic waste per capita.  You'd be surprised at the results.

Also along with population you need to consider miles/kilometres of coastline. In both cases Thailand comes out very badly for plastic pollution in the oceans.  Furthermore Thailand's sea pollution is only a small fraction of its land dumping.

Just shows, If it is true, how much "western" countries care about Democracy  vs making money.

Not sure if trump is fit to share the same podium as someone with her track record, integrity and statesmanship.

What he says in their presence and what he tweets afterwards must be very disconcerting for grown up politicians

Did you really mean "her track record" in a serious way or was it sarcasm ?
