  1. The Home Office should get creative and tow their vehicles. If they don't want to pay, then why don't they use the Underground. But of course they wouldn't want to pay the "tax", must ride for free. Those arrogant colonials!
  2. Maybe the TM30 dates to 1979, but before it only practically concerned hotels. There was no enforced requirement for foreigners living at home to report themselves until after the last coup.
  3. Living in Chiang Mai, I found that the practical solution is to set up online filing for TM30, then file whenever staying overnight in a hotel or returning from abroad. Online filing is quite easy once you get the hang of it
  4. British Airways is IAG, #23 on the list.
  5. There is a new airline called Starlux. It flies from Chiang Mai and Bangkok to LAX, SFO, SEA. They have a deal with Alaska Airlines for onward flights from Seattle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlux_Airlines Connection time may depend on the days selected. I didn't check RT, OW was Bht 20000 for economy and 40000 for premium economy. The planes are new Airbuses.
  6. As you say, this is from November. Today there's a BBC News program "Eye Investigations: My War". At the end of the program the reporter for BBC Arabic Adnan El Bursh and his team are leaving Gaza on February 10th. This program will run again at 18:30 today. Excellent. The journalist in your clip left Gaza on December 5th, https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67592794 He posted this after leaving, in memory: This journalist, Samer al Daqqa, working for al Jazeera, and his team was bombed on December 15th. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samer_Abu_Daqqa I will now stop reading and commenting on these Gaza war threads until something signficant happens, for example, an indictment of war criminals or a significant ceasefire. The readership of these threads is just too small, and the abusive posting of propaganda makes rational discussion impossible.
  7. No, nobody was being killed until the tank fired and killed them.
  8. BBC seems to have just recently gotten a freelance journalist Gazan to supply video and comment.
  9. They were in the Gulf long before WW 1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_Gulf_Residency So that part of Arabia is not relevant since Turks were not in control there. Brits never occupied what became Saudi Arabia. They just installed a Hashemite to rule in Mecca to replace the Turk's man.
  10. Not B.S. After the huge number of target identifications, there is only minutes or seconds to authorize the bombing. No need anymore for seniors or legal people to be consulted.
  11. This is Israeli media. Reputation here: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/972-magazine/
  12. Al Jazeera is the only news organization operating in Gaza. As others have asked, why won't Israel allow other news media into Gaza?
  13. You are disingenuous or ignorant of how AI works. It pulls text from sources. Maybe the poster got that from the original source.
  14. Britain & France did not occupy Arabia. Why are you creating fake factoids? The British promised independence for Palestine in return for the Arab resistance against the Turks.
  15. How about free of Israeli occupation in West Bank and Gaza, and settlers going home to Israel or their countries of origin?
  16. https://www.972mag.com/lavender-ai-israeli-army-gaza/ @Presto and I have posted this link. Anyone who wants to understand the depth of IDF war crimes whould read this lengthy link. From this evidence it's not surprising that the ICC is rumored to be preparing indictments of IDF figures.
  17. The December UNGA vote for a ceasefire was 153 to 10. Who is commending IDF???? Netanyahu is worried about being indicted by the ICC, along with IDF bosses.
  18. Yes the encampments are teach-ins for students who have seen the horrors on social media, but don't know the background since 1880. They can learn what "settler colonial project" means. Why do you reference Eretz Neheret, the ultra Orthodox IDF unit that the US might eventually sanction for war crimes?
  19. People say things. Wait for a declaration from the Emir. Al Jazeera is based in Qatar and funded by the Qatari government. The English branch has excellent discussion programs led by British and American journalists, plus good documentaries spanning the world.
  20. I just saw Peter Eliasberg, Chief Counsel of the ACLU (Southern CA), on the BBC concerning the circumstances around the university decision to shut down the UCLA protest. He remarked that police were present and did nothing when a group of, in his words, thugs violently attacked the protest site. He said that the university could not use that violence as a pretext to declare the protest unlawful, because there is a legal concept called heckler's veto. "A heckler's veto is a situation in which a party who disagrees with a speaker's message is able to unilaterally trigger events that result in the speaker being silenced." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckler's_veto Interestingly, the ACLU of Michigan in a friend-of-the-court brief aided a successful appeal of the case of a group of evangelicals who staged an obnoxious march in Dearborn during the 2012 Arab International Festival and whom the police ordered to cease and desist due to their "incitement". https://www.aclumich.org/en/cases/hecklers-veto
