A lot of noise about nothing of much interest or significance.

Of course we should all try to make the best we can of each day.

Brits are being betrayed by both the government and the civil service.

He can say all he wants about this and other issues however it is the opinion of many that his personal behaviour has not set a good example for his subjects to follow.

The problem is the system itself which is pathetically naive. If course people will take advantage of it. Time for the UK government and civil service to wake up.

Western culture is being obliterated by mass immigration from countries with totally different values. East German Merkel started the rot, and for some inexplicable reason other governments followed. Pretty much unstoppable now.

Worldwide problem. Too many people, too many cars.

Personally I prefer to see a single pigtail on young girls/women, not double, and definitely neither single nor double on older women.

Bad news has always made more headlines than good news, in all countries. It's human nature to be excited by stories of misfortune, sadly.

A silly question. There is no more or less political comment on here than on any other news journal.

Who, I wonder, is the idiot who apparently finds this funny ? Grow up.

Apart from visits to the authorities I never carry my passport anywhere, only my pink ID card (which has always been accepted). The pink card did not exist when the law requiring foreigners to always carry their passport was written.

The war on drugs over the last 50 years plus has achieved precisely nothing. A total waste of police time and money worldwide. Way better to decriminalise, regulate and tax.

Agreed.

Good point.

It is a betrayal of the British people that they are not being allowed to benefit from the production of the significant amounts of oil, gas and coal reserves with which Britain has been blessed. Labour entirely to blame, fronted by the treacherous and demented Ed Miliband who famously stabbed his brother in the back in a Labour leadership contest. I fear Britain is in deep trouble under the current government, although the Tories also have a lot to answer for.

The police and the courts should focus on serious crimes, not on trivial misdemeanours. Way too many people in prison for minor drug offences, and not only in Thailand.

A lot of noise about not very much. EU elitists should recognize that the USA has done more than it's fair share of heavy lifting over the years. The EU never will of course, their self-importance dominates their thinking on all issues.

A message to Waters, try to engage brain before opening mouth.

Thailand's governing bodies, a den of thieves...

Notwithstanding the current issue regarding tariffs the fact is Thai people are charged outrageously high prices for vehicles, both locally manufactured/ assembled and imported.

As a former club racer, and a follower of F1 since my parents took me aged 8 to watch the first ever F1 grand Prix at Silverstone in 1950, I just wonder if the Thais pushing for this know or care about the enormous cost, disruption, effort, knowledge and skill required to organise an event such as this. But, TIT, so it may well happen notwithstanding all the complicated issues involved.

Well what a great guy you are. People offer to help and you insult them. Deeply unpleasant.

Thaksin, as ever, grovelling to the CCP. His loyalty to Thailand, and his concern for Thailand's reputation, is non existent.

How do you feel about his behaviour ?
