Not sleeping well
Now 82 years old and in good health I have never slept more than 3-4 hours per night, without any apparent ill effects. I wonder if we worry too much about the necessary 8 hours we are told we should have.

Opinion: Nobody wants to admit the scale of the Islamist extremist threat to our democracy
I forecast that, unless the British people wake up to the gradual muslim takeover, their country will be governed under sharia law within 30-50 years.

Australia anti-Semitism: Labor is missing the moral dimension on Middle East
What Palestinian Hamas, operating out of Gaza and backed by Iran and Russia, inflicted on Israel on October 7 was utterly disgusting. Sad but understandable that Israel will, as a result, go to any lengths to eliminate Hamas. Worth noting that not a single Arab country is accepting Palestinian refugees from the current conflict.

Keir Starmer accuses 'weak' Rishi Sunak of harbouring 'extremists' in his party
Lee Anderson is not an extremist, and it's very difficult to identify any other person in today's Tory party who fits that description.

Shamima Begum: East London schoolgirl loses appeal against removal of UK citizenship
The court's decision that the cancellation of her UK nationality was legal is correct. I don't, however, agree with the original cancallation which was a publicity stunt to appeal to the baying mob. She is a Brit and should gave been allowed to return to the country of her birth, and to face trial there based on the available evidence.

Thai people and their smartphones - your take?
It appears to me that the use of mobile 'phones in Thailand is much the same as all over the world. For myself, at 82 years old, I spend a lot if time on my Android when alone, but little or none when in company.

The Impeachment's Russia Connection: Unraveling a Fabricated Tale
That's because there are lingering doubts that Smirnov's allegations are false. There is also the issue regarding the nature of the Bidens' Ukrainian and Chinese connections. All of which may be of no substance, but should be more thoroughly investigated if only to clear the Bidens of any wrongdoing.

Britain’s ‘deep state’ thwarted my plans, Liz Truss tells US hard-right summit
Truss/Kwase made the basic mistake of presenting their low tax economy plan without a budget explaining how it would work, hence the panic in the money markets and the devaluation of the pound. A great shame, because their ideas were sound.

My 2 kittens, now 6 months old just love to wander,,, Too Far..
I'm afraid I've yet to find a sensoring system which really works. As all cat lovers know many cats are unhappy if they are not allowed to wander. We just have to hope and pray that they stay safe which they mostly do in my experience, thankfully.

Agency for 90 Day Report?
In my opinion better to go in person because you can then deal with any issues on the spot. Incidentally i went to CW yesterday to submit my 90 day report. I was 2 days late but received no penalty.

Teenage Thai girl accuses tattoo artist of sexual assault
From the report she does appear to have case, but not a strong one. The tattoo artist denies any wrongdoing and, further to that, is counter suing the girl for reputational damage. Difficult to pass judgement on this one.

Thai police chief ordered to protect prosecutors in online gambling case
If I was a prosecutor in this case I would derive no comfort from the offer of police protection. A threat, more like.
