Well said. The ICC is best ignored. Why on earth my country, the UK, is choosing to grovel to it's diktats, or ever joined in the first place, is beyond me. Presumably something to do with the Blair/Cameron influence.

0n October 7 2023 over 1700 Israeli civilians were killed by Palestinians. Many of them were women, children and infants who were raped and then beheaded. Others were taken as hostages. It is understandable that Israel will continue to hunt down all those directly or indirectly responsible. On the broader issue, events leading up to and during WW2 speak for themselves. Taking account of these two occurrences alone renders the UN's position on Israel not only unacceptable, but also contemptible.

Well said, and thanks for your advice ref the living will.

Sadly the two people who were most opposed to the Iranian regime, Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gadhafi, were killed as a result of the disastrous invasion of their countries by the western powers.

Tiresome and predictable to some, such as yourself, but relevant and appropriate.

You don't need to be an expert to know that the UN is a dangerous and useless organization. The anti-Jewish position it has adopted is particularly concerning given events leading up to and during WW2.

Big issue. Best for Joe to obfuscate and delay for as long as it takes for people to have lost interest. Not sure if this is possible in terms of the way the legal process works in the USA.

Never mind. Have a nice day.

Not a good idea to locate a memorial service on one of Thailand's busiest roads.

No idea what you are talking about.

With AI, and robotics generally, taking over employment opportunities are decreasing all over the world.

Sadly, it was always unlikely that Tim was going to be able to obtain her inheritance. TIT, she was always going to be pushed to the back of the line.

Well said. I fear that the UK voters who were seeking stability, integrity and good government when voting for Starmer/Labour may already be suffering buyers' remorse.

Mine also..

There must surely be more to this story. I'm afraid renters can be subject to this kind of situation in any country, not only in Thailand.

...well known already. Your point is. ?

At 83 years old the insurance companies are no longer interested in me or my premium payments. Not a problem for me as I have already agreed with my Thai wife, my partner for over 40 years, that when my time comes, either through illness or old age, I will not bie taken anywhere near a hospital. I will stay at home living as comfortably as possible until I expire. Younger people may take a different view. I would only advise you to think long and hard before committing money to an insurance policy which you may never need.

Yes indeed. The cruel t reatmentvif elephants in Buddhist Thailand is a sad and shameful disgrace. Thi is just one more example.

Nothing of any relevance or interest.

The last English king of England was Harold. The rest were, inter-alia, French, Scottish, Welsh, Dutch and German.

In case you didn't now Trump was voted in as a result of the US election.

Correct. Your point is...?

Amazing that somebody finds this funny.

No objection to monarchies in general so long as they act in the best interests of their country. The Windsors, so called, while not holding direct power, have failed on many occasions to use their enormous influence to benefit Britain. A classic example was their support for Britain's unnecessary involvement in WW1 which resulted in tragic losses for countless British families including my own.
