I find this allegation far fetched . No British tourist would have gone to that region during a war situation. If there is any truth in this the most likely is that all those participants were mercenaries.

He said NATO troops and whichever way you look at it the Brits are part of NATO so we are quite right to complain about this moronic president.

Threatening to take Greenland again on the basis of protecting USA from China and Russia! What planet is this man on? Stick him in one of Elon Musks rockets to the moon and let him rule the world from there.

I agree with that. He will do and say anything to get himself a Nobel Peace prize.

Could be potential immigrants. We have so many illegal migrants coming in from France that many people here are looking for a better life and not seeing their hard earned cash paying to bed and board these illegals.

So much for mediation by Trump. "If you don't do what i demand I will punish you by putting tariffs up" being one of his threats. The man does not deserve the Nobel Peace prize. He needs to resign!

Our Royal Family are NOT self serving scroungers, Andrew being trouble is not fair judgement of them all. I am a Royalist and proud of it.

I agree with you on that. Trump does not deserve any consideration in the choice of the Nobel Peace Prize. Noter how he starts the ball rolling, backs out and then tries to claim the kudos in all international affairs. Did he end wars? No he did not.

What nationality is the father? and are the 'relatives' he has been left with Thai nationals?

I note that Pakistan and Bangladesh are not on this list. Are they included in the figure for India.

Is this one of the five wars which Donald Trump, in his speech yesterday, claims to have ended?

Cliveshep, I don't know if this is any help but I checked "Ancestry" and "Find my past". the only person I came up with was ~Frederick C. Sheppard born January 1946 in HITCHIN, Herts. Mothers maiden name 'GROUNSELL' Could this be you.

This sounds like a non-British individual, working for HMPO, and probably working from home (?India?).I wish you luck in your efforts to avoid becoming a stateless person.

Hamas does not care about nationality.They decide who and when releases will be made. The Thai authorities have no say in the matter. Sadly this Thai worker was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. My thoughts go out to his family.

I haven't been to Thailand since the late 1980's but my favourite then was Hogs Breath, upstairs on the left.There was also one on the ground floor right but I cannot remember the name other than that of 2 of the girls (!). I used to go down to Soi Cowboy as well. Tilac bar. This was in the days when Golden Palace hotel in soi 1 and the stalls and bars in the area opposite soi 1 under the flyover and along by the rail track were still there.

As long as he doesn't decide that he should be King of England we in UK will be happy. However his petulant behaviour and hissy fits leave a lot to be desired of a man who thinks he is untouchable.

As much as I have sympathy with the family at their loss I question the cost of repatriation.Homeland International quotes the following on line:Cost between £2000 and £20000 but average is £3000-£6000. Ashes~£1000- £3000. Repatriation of a patient is £200-£300 per mile. There are now a number of families using GoFundMe asking for in excess of £30000.

I do not think she was that naive to believe she was bringing back designerclothes and watches and her 'cut' was £18000. The judge should be ashamed of himself for the sympathetic sentence and the prosecution should appeal against this.Olga will probably sell her story to the Tabloids for even more money.

My heart goes out to the families of those lost in this dreadful incident. If it is true that the door(s) failed to open this needs looking into on ALL public transport.

I bet he was not insured to drive in Thailand~charge him with driving without insurance, criminal damage and careless driving~ then kick him out.
