  1. You’re confused. VAT is a sales tax, not a tariff. It’s imposed on all British made or imported goods. Tariffs are a tax on imports
  2. Wise words. All those tempted to ignore motorcycle safety for holiday fun, please, please read, think and remind your mates.
  3. Tariffs will hurt American consumers and components importers. Brings inflation, retaliation and possible trade wars, reduced economic activity and breaking of trust with trading partners. Terrible misreading of basic economics.
  4. Just 700 square metres? That’s small!
  5. Politicians should expect this, especially those who are controversial. Well said Brian.
  6. The word spread, more visitors came, it became a tourist honeypot, more money making outsiders came, backpackers with little regard for local culture arrived in droves. What was attractive about Pai over 10 years ago is largely lost. Time to aim for a better class of tourist.
  7. “We need competent people. We need smart people.” Absolutely right, sensible conservatives realise this.
  8. Are you an attention-seeking lawyer looking for work? What ‘evidence’ do you, or indeed any reader here, actually have?
  9. “Foreigner causes Christmas chaos….in Pattaya”. Not just Christmas that some foreigners cause chaos there.
  10. It would be hard to find those in British politics who like Trump, other than the opportunistic Farage.
  11. Mandelson should be a good appointment. He has been a slippery schemer in British politics. Well suited to the role.
  12. In the American political system Donald Trump won by a clear majority of votes. Now many of those voters may be uneducated, naive or feeling left behind and they saw the Democrats as hopeless but that is still clear support for Trump and a mandate to govern.
  13. For those who imagine UK lacks free speech these days, remember the level of hate speech and dangerous misinformation being spouted by extremists online these days. Also remember how much worse it is for free speech in China, Russia. Despite its faults, UK is preferable to most countries,
  14. Good that JK Rowling calls out this. Nothing against transgender people who get on with their lives without harming others. But for Edinburgh City Council to celebrate the life of a violent criminal who happens to identify as transgender is an insult to all victims of violence.
  15. Clearly they didn’t want a late night meat and two veg.
