Trump Booed at Arizona Rally Over His New Endorsement
candide replied to Scott's topic in World News
This act could be called the "blue collars" act. It was time a President cared about them and about the real economy. A big change from Trump who only cared about financial markets, as examplified by his tax cuts for the rich and for businesses, which have been mainly used for buying stocks. -
Thaksin needed to be smart, because he was under threat of being held accountable. Either by being voted out, or by courts (which ultimately happened to him). Prayut could afford to be as dumb as he was, and rape the country in an as obvious way as he wanted, because he was 100% unaccountable. No risk of being voted out and no risk of being convicted.

Again, definitive assertion without much backing "Spain has a method to solve its problems". I hope so, considering that other checks: Covid document, money, proof of accommodation, still must be checked manually. + many UK flights cancelled (that was one of the reasons evoked to explain why more people used their car instead) "France has not". Obviously, it has after last Saturday, so how do you know it hasn't? Let's wait to see how a few week-ends are going.

As usual, you don't show anything to back your assertion. Anyway, if Majorca eventually solved its problems after two months of nightmare for UK travellers, I am glad about it. 1. What about Dover now? Any report of long queues? It seems the French have solved thei problems after 2 days.compared to 2 months for Spain. 2. Do you know how Spanish airports claimed they would solve the queue problem? By using e-gates. Now as you consider that passing through sea port checks by car is comparable to airport checks, please explain how to pass cars through e-gates?

Really? ???? https://www.majorcadailybulletin.com/holiday/airport/2022/05/25/101651/mallorca-long-airport-queues-getting-bad-press.html https://www.euronews.com/travel/2022/05/20/palma-delays-majorca-airport-on-verge-of-collapse-after-weeks-of-long-queues https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/travel/spain-warning-tourists-those-flying-24149371 And it's about airports in which the flow of passengers per day and hour is known in advance from flights schedules. The problem is that you make definitive assertions on ,matters of which you are ignorant, in order to express your own prejudices.

Trump and virtue in the same sentence! ???? -
I was being ironic. Very few people go directly to Spain by boat so there is no equivalent situation in terms of flow of tourists. Tourists from UK arrive in Spain either by car (and there's no control because they have been already checked in Dover), or by air. Taking into account the legendary Spanish sense of organisation, I doubt there are less queues in Spanish airports than in French airports.
