BBC Faces Scrutiny Over Allegations Against Gregg Wallace Following External Investigations
These women were all adults. Amazing that these days they seen to have lost the ability to put down an idiot making lewd remarks. If he had been trying this with my mother or my aunts he would have been shut up very rapidly.

Labour Faces Tough Start Under Starmer as Local Election Results Highlight Sharp Decline
Yes indeed. As a result of net zero, which was embraced by Johnson before Starmer/Miliband, the UK is unable to exploit its' abundant natural fuel resources. It has also failed to invest in adequate nuclear power. Combine that with the lockdowns, and an incompetent Bank of England, and the result is an awful mess.

British Man Arrested for Overstay and Insulting Phuket Officials
It would have been as simple as that, but he started to throw insults at the police. In any country that's a big mistake. Unbelievably stupid.

Australia Urged to Rethink ICC Membership Amid Controversial Arrest Warrants
75 countries, including Palestine, the Vatican, India, Indonesia, Russia, the USA and Israel, did not agree to join the ICC when it was formed in 2002. That being so one wonders why it is that the ICC claims the right to prosecute non-members and/or the citizens of non-members. Sounds to me like a pointless and purposeless coterie seeking cheap publicity.

PM and Labour leader Starmer is hardly an impressive looking individual. It gets worse when he speaks. Having said that, the Tories have a lot to answer for after fourteen years of mis-rule.

Heartbreak in Chon Buri as Two Family Dogs Poisoned and Killed
For whatever reason the poisoner has committed a cruel and unforgivable act. I hope he is apprehended and jailed. I fear that is unlikely, given how little many Thai people care for animals in Buddhist Thailand.

Getting Old: Stoic About It or Endless Whinger?
IIn the West it is habitual for old people to be shovelled off into homes for the elderly, or to be left alone to fend for themselves. At 83 I am cared for very well by my Thai wife, to whom I've been happily married for 40 years. and her family in Thailand. I take things day by day, and my health is still ok. So far, so good.
