I thought using contaminated evidence was admissible; ….oh Yingluck is not Burmese.

What is the point of the election (aka 'a farce') as the result is already known.

I feel very sorry for the Thai people.

This is a confusing subject - because of all the variations made by different governments.

The new single rate pension will simplify things - but only if you are eligible.

An essential first step is to get a (free) pension forecast statement from the government.

I am sure the Thai police will do a through investigation and perhaps - blame some Cambodian policemen for a change.

Is this a case of the black shirts helping the red shirts?

According to my sources; she was driven across the border by the Red Bull heir; and the police would not take a bribe.

(In Thailand anything is possible these days)

To misquote Virgil, "Beware of Chinese bearing gifts"

Will these supporters still get free 'educational' holidays?

You can do anything you want in your car, as long as you are in motion and aren't near a checkpoint. Cops wont do a thing. That's the problem.

I think you can also add; drive a Ferrari and have a lot of money?

The advantage of pursuing this type of crime is that it can all be done from the comfort of an air conditioned police station, whilst checking Fakebook and perhaps watching an old episode of Keystone Kops on the computer.....meanwhile the real criminals......

My GF and I drove around in our pick-up for many months without any number plates at all. After getting fed up with being stopped by the police too often, we went to our dealer and said we want proper plates, he said, when he supplies the number plates the company has to pay the vehicle tax. My GF 'strongly' insisted on plates or she would return the new vehicle; we had plates with 24 hours!

Dear TV reader, can you guess what is going on here?

Just arrived back in the UK and watching TV and reading some investment and financial newspapers quite a few analysts think the GBP is undervalued between 15% - 20% as general economic data is good. The UK is still also the 5th largest economy in the world.

The problem is the uncertainty about when Brexit will take place, due to interference from the likes of Gina Miller and the House of Lords. Both these obstacles have now been swept away so some confidence will return when Article 50 is actually triggered.

There is also more conciliatory noises coming from Europe who want to trade freely with the UK, as an example, the UK is the biggest consumer of French Champagne. The political old guard and dinosaurs like Juncker’s have been noticeably quiet recently about trade agreements.

Of course a spanner in the works happened yesterday when the ‘Dwarf from the North’ announced a second - ‘once in a lifetime’ -referendum on Scottish Independence, which caused the GBP to drop.  She is clearly is crazy as Spain, again made it very clear they would veto any application from Scotland; oil is below $50 and the same old chestnut that she wants complete full independence but wants to keep the British Pound, the Treasury quite rightly said no last time and have said no again this time.

So ‘keep calm and carry on’ things should improve.

I'm sure that I read somewhere before that it is indeed China.

I thank you for your comments; but on reflection I think we both may be wrong. I think the submarines are coming from Lesotho, which needs submarines as much as Thailand.

We should be told.....?

Why-oh-why cannot the country where these (useless) submarines are being purchased from be mentioned, I think it is China? I forgot Thailand does not understand the word transparency.

I also think there is a mistake in the article (lazy journalists) substitute the word ‘negotiation’ with ‘dictate’.

I have read somewhere that there is a monk in Thailand who can walk on water, perhaps he can help make some to ease the drought.

I think the government should talk to him.

......and especially journalists.

Keeping the 'gravy train' on track

So no more goods from China then; this includes submarines.

I must have missed it, when was the second coming.

regards worgeordie

Second coming is scheduled for a Tuesday.

Does this help?

I am reminded of an old  Carry On film:-

"They seek him here, they seek him there
Those 'Thai police' seek him everywhere
Is he in heaven or is he in hell?
That damned elusive Pimpernel 
He meddles with the 'democratic' Revolution"

It is a 'Pact with the Devil'

IMHO he is altering Thai history in a bad way; methinks this is all going to end in tears.

The lazy, mis-informed journalist who wrote this article, is probably having a holiday in the junta’s special educational resort as I write.

Thailand 4.0!

Or perhaps 'Thailand 400K'

So even the police have to bribe the police!

Which is a bit ironic.

And how about bringing in the death penalty for people who overthrow a democratically elected government.
