  1. I think the Economist Group's Democracy Index has been the gold standard for rankings when it comes to this matter. What the USA and Thailand have in common is they are both classified as "Flawed Democracies". So I agree with you this is something like "The pot calling the kettle black". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist_Democracy_Index
  2. I just hope George Galloway's Workers Party of Britain takes more seats. The best quote of the election so far was on a conservative leaning TV show were one of the commentators stated "Had George Galloway been at the 7 party debate he would've mopped the floor with the bunch of them."
  3. Do you mean when he campaigned champing all the benefits that would happen with Brexit? Well the latest poll I found states 31% are happy with Brexit. https://www.statista.com/statistics/987347/brexit-opinion-poll/. How about when he cheered on the Liz Truss budget that almost tanked the UK economy? Old Nig seems to always be on the wrong side of history
  4. Seems you think it's outrageous that there are people who do not support genocide\ apartheidism. Well I think that is atrocious that there are people that don't. Biden being among them. Over the many wars the USA has been in during his time, too many to count, the only one that he was not full throated supportive of was the one he was fighting age for. Of course he got five deferments for it. The word chickenhawk comes to mind.
  5. Same as what the Yanks threatened in 1962 when the USSR put nuclear missiles in Cuba. Biden knew he was baiting gangster Putin into invading Ukraine when he stated that Ukraine would be gaining NATO membership. Dumb is believing the nonsense fed to you by propaganda media like the right wing trash British tabloids, SKY NEWS, CNN, MSNBC, FOX News......... Did you not learn anything after WMD in Iraq????? Still eating Freedumb Fries????
  6. No that happened in 2014. Former Chaney aid and Obama\Biden State Dept official, a member of the neo-con Kagan Clan, Vicky Nuland was up to her armpits in the Kyiv coup. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26079957
  7. The Ukraine will get relief once their last soldier is dead in this American proxy war.
  8. Not really. The likelihood is his departure day back to his cesspool of a home country was soon approaching and he decided this was the better option.
  9. Gallop poll registers immigration as THE biggest problem facing that country. https://news.gallup.com/poll/611135/immigration-surges-top-important-problem-list.aspx
  10. It would not surprise me at all. He is getting murdered on this issue
  11. Too little, too late. Biden's open borders policy, to the benefit of the business community by providing downward pressure on wages, was a stupendous folly. There are about 7 billion people in this world that would like to move to any rich country. Opening the floodgates leads to disaster at the polling booth. Illegal Central and South Americans should be shipped to the Vatican because it's opposition to birth control and abortion has caused huge overpopulation in RC majority countries. Luckily for Biden his opponent is a train wreck so maybe he'll get away with this stupidity up to now.
  12. Can they please "LOCK HIM UP!!!!!".
  13. Likely has a rap sheet the length of a 20,000B bin sheet. Age fits plus drug charges last year. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/thug-who-stabbed-his-friends-pet-1678702
  14. I say it boosts tourism by at least 30% in the next six months
  15. Jomtien & Pattaya Beaches are in the same city with the same authorities responsible for them
  16. Go back and read the OP. Convicted in 2017 and released in 2020.
  17. 555, living the dream are we???
  18. I remember the stop work order happened in 2014 not lonng after the coup.
  19. Well they have more than twice the support of the next party in the most recent poll so how do they lose power? Another coup sponsored by the Yanks like in Ukraine in February 2014?
  20. More specifically than the west it's the Yanks up to their usual.
  21. Opposite. His father, the Godfather of Chonburi, AKA Kamnan Poh, was arrested while a fugitive from a murder conviction sentence by the Yingluck gov. It was the ruling Junta that did not charge the boy mayor and instead made him a gov Minister.
  22. Not a Brit but in my Canada we also have a Westminster style Parliament. In my time we have only had parliaments that ran passed significantly more than four years a couple times. Both times seemed as desperation on the governing parties part. In 1993 the majority governing Progressive Conservative party used nearly it's full 5 your mandate and got obviated. Reduced to only 2 seats. It never did recover. Ended up going out of existence and merging with another party a few years later. What is going on in the UK now also seems like desperation by the governing Conservative Party.
  23. So still with the Thaksin derangement syndrome I see.
