Entirely agree. Went on a cruise around the Mediterranean many years ago. Experienced claustrophobia within minutes, and soon after realised I would be unable to avoid people I would rather not know. Loathed every minute. Never again !
The gall of this guy ! Thaksin has yet to be called to account for the thousands of people killed in his 'war on drugs' during his tenure as PM, the majority of whom were entirely innocent.
The Thai baht is permanently over-valued. This has lead to several financial disasters, most notably the crash of 1997/8. Those Thais in a position of power/privilege invest heavily overseas, especially in property, for which purpose the higher the value of the baht the better.
Extraordinary comment. Are you really 'sure he is a pothead idiot' ? He might be, inter-alia, a drunken idiot, an ecstasy idiot, a cocaine idiot, a meth idiot,or just an idiot.
Fair enough, just be aware that the Thai courts apply severe financial penalties if defamation is proven. Not a problem for those if us who are wealthy, but could be devastating for those of us who are less well-off.
It would require the govt to negotiate with the oil companies. Prior to Thatcher's ill-advised sale of a controlling interest in BP the latter would have been a natural vehicle for this process. GBE would now be an appropriate entity.
An entirely false argument by the net zero enthusiasts . I was in the oil and gas business for 40 years. Rest assured the UK govt could easily establish a domestic price for locally sourced fuels, separate from the international market, if it chose to do so.
While the inflation rate in the UK heads inexorably upwards the country sits on massive domestic reserves of oil, coal and gas which the govt refuses to exploit.
