Do people of that age bracket usually play loud music, always thought it was the younger generation.

As the saying goes,

"Over my dead body"

  I think Thailand will be looking  for a democratic leader if there's no cheating.

Typical, Thailand is all take, take, take, but never give, give or give. Australia has given them 68 million baht to help, but Aussies are still back of the queue.

yes it could have been the rubber boaters

     Yes, but it still came from China.

Not surprised, too many rip offs, hospitals etc etc. And the Draconian laws.

age discrimination on a national scale; they are saying , in effect:'you are already dead'

No, they are saying that the Chinese vaccine is risky.

    There's been a spate of video's lately of trucks and trailers rolling over, Surely is it a question of driving standards here in Thailand, or is that speed is of the essence, but the four corner bolts should have been quite sufficient to prevent containers coming off, in fact the whole trailer would normally go with it.

             Immunity law definitely needed, as vaccines coming from China. Its been reported that the Sinovac is nowhere near as effective, and still not passed by the WHO, no wonder its been donated. Chinese diplomacy to keep their foot in the door.

      It strikes me that since this Military Government took over, racism has raised its ugly head again, there must be many foreigners or expats that have not been out of this country for 18 months or more, so we're all in the same boat as the Thais, where the risk of covid is concerned.

     But the Authority's know that with Thailand's porous borders, the risk is the greatest threat, but where money is involved, the Thais will go for the make make option.

Sounds rather like the Rice scheme, the more you do to help the Thais, the more they help themselves.

Will England be able to survive without the City of London to help counter it's balance of payments deficit ?

        Just to emphasize inability of Scotland to survive on its own,  A year long enquiry has just been published a report to verify that, so Sturgeon must be hoping the EU will be there to bail out their economy. London's financial institutions have not been decimated, and will continue as ever.

Jon Swallow realizes that leaving the EU is a bitter pill to Swallow

         Yes he's right, but staying is more like swallowing a cyanide pill.

         Really, this pathetic banter is getting out of hand,  semi stolen ?? Who created the vaccine  ??.   Was the EU hoping for the French vaccine ? hence the delay.

    Can't wait for the Netherlands wanting to get out too, when it starts to cost them

If you voted for Brexit, you can't complain. All this was totally foreseeable.

     I don't see Brexiteers just complaining, they are simply highlighting the EU corruption methods. Its going to take time. but the UK will eventually have the upper hand, as the EU disintegrates

     I'm sure Britain has more intelligent business men and politicians than intelligent remainder's.

Yes, I have seen at least one newspaper now has been saying that more than 20 years - how the EU is doomed - it will soon fall apart and end... yet it is still here... and the UK is getting smaller (Northern Ireland and Gibraltar and possibly in the future Scotland).  So which union is more fragile?

          No harm in the UK getting smaller, it would save English tax payers millions in handouts, Scotland is a prime example of one nation that would not survive on its own, Sturgeons a fool to think it could. I would be very happy to see England to withdraw all its military bases from Scotland, free school meals ???, and all its MP's.

         Gibralter is up to Gibaltarian"s, which currently has a massive remain UK agenda, but sorry to say, too many EU states are thinking twice about leaving the corrupt block.

   Since last year's scandal of hospitals over charging on Drugs, has anyone noticed a rise in other medical charges of late.
