‘Let’s make Britain great again’ Farrage Stuns UK Politics Announces Return For Election
Not sure how voters in Clacton will react to this. The danger for Farage is that they will see him as a chancer who changed his mind as a result of events in the USA.

British Pensioner Struggles with Frozen Pension in Thailand
I paid into the UK National Insurance all my working life. Living permanently in Thailand I make no demands on, inter-alia, the NHS. My UK pension has been frozen on £300 per month since 1993, and is paid and spent in the UK by way of birthday gifts to young relatives etc. Question is what has the UK govt done with the contributions I made for over 50 years ?

Holiday somewhere else. ideas ?
I lived and worked in Taiwan from 1987 to 1993, following 5 years living and working in Thailand. Taiwanese people are friendly, hard working, and well educated. The island has beautiful mountains and lakes, and an excellent infrastructure. The capital Taipei is a well organised city, with top class hotels, markets and facilities, and a lively nightlife. However, if you are on a brief visit, with not enough time to explore the island outside Taipei, it may not be the best place for a short holiday.

Who's going to the Philippines then?
The choice and quality of food in the Philippines is nothing like as good as it is in Thailand. The people are friendly enough, but less interesting. Addituonally i have been mugged twice in metro Manila, not once in Thailand. Take a good look before making a final decision.

Buriram contractor gives away 7 buffaloes to prevent slaughter
Good for him, but I fear for their welfare. Thailand claims to be a Buddhist country but, nevertheless, most Thais eat animals.
