    The majority, at all levels, were opposed to Britain being dragged into a second world war. At the same time, however, the majority supported a major increase in Britain's defensive capability on the land and sea, and in the air.

    The way in which Heath treated the dominions and former colonies when we entered the EEC was a disgrace. They were ignored. We should have encouraged a better, closer working relationship with them rather than joining with Europe.

    The Britain they fought for, and which I grew up in during the 1940s and 1950s, has gone, sadly. Change is inevitable, of course. A shame it has not been for the better, to put it mildly.

    Trump's lead in the opinion polls has increased to 5%.

    He was conned into allowing his name to be put forward as the owner of a contracting company which was, it turned out, 20 million baht in debt.

    Sunak and Hunt shafted Boris Johnson out of office. Payback time approaches.

    Ridiculous. All he has achieved by this lawsuit is to draw attention to the fact that his son is a fugitive from justice.

    Thailand's constitution specifically allows for the abuse of human rights.

    Disgusting example of human garbage. Jail, fine, and then some..

    Are you saying reclining seats should not be reclined ? Anyway, better to fly first class and avoid most of this hassle.
  11. Thingamabob
    ....and way too many people.

    A highly suspect 'poll'. More like a load of BS.
  13. Thingamabob
    Disgusting behaviour in 'Buddhist' Thailand. I hope the former owner gets the full sentence ie jailed and fined, plus some.

    At 83 years old, much the same. Early morning exercise, followed by domestic tasks which I am able to tackle. Afternoons,word games/ crosswords, evenings, movies and sports on TV.

    I think you should re-consider this comment.

    Will the Maldives ban Muslim holders of Israeli passports ?

    However, if they go after billionaires they will be attacking the very people who have the power to bring them, the govt, down.
  18. Thingamabob
    Good points, but supposition at this time.
  19. Thingamabob
    In over 40 years I have never been asked how I am supporting myself (financially, that is). Are you saying that will now become a standard question ?
  20. Thingamabob
    Your headline is misleading, again. Nothing has yet been agreed, let alone legally approved, regarding tax changes.
  21. Thingamabob
    ..and the 10k baht giveaway vote bribe.
  22. Thingamabob
    You may well be right, and I hope you are. My fear is that this is a shabby govt grubbing about for additional revenue sources, but also not wanting to upset influential, well-off Thais. They are therefore trying to hit foreigners first. On the other hand this govt could just be thrown out before too long in which case the revised tax legislation may go on hold, or be dropped entirely.
  23. Thingamabob
    Who is 'They' ? The Thai government is more than one unit, obviously.
  24. Thingamabob
    If this ever becomes a reality the Thai immigration authority will stand to lose a large part of it's income as a result of the departure from Thailand of many foreign residents who will no longer be applying for annual extensions of stay costing 1,900 baht.

    ...and ensure the escapee from Dubai never again has any say in Thai politics, whether formal or informal.
