    Maybe, when we get an honest government, her alleged crimes will be rescinded. Never heard what happened to the real crooks.

    Never understood why Yingluck carried the can for all the Thai crooks who done the dirty deeds over the rice issue, she tried to help the farmers, but it was all the Thai crooks who abused it

    How come we can't steal it back again, if they know where it's gone.

        The low Pound has been created by all the financial crooks, The pound fell because of the uncertainty of Brexit, but the Thai Baht went up after the Coup, and rigged election, how uncertain where things then.

        The crooks want to nobble the pound, to persuade people to stay in Europe, for their own financial gains

       The way Opposition figures disappear or are Murdered is a long tradition in Russia, How do think Putin got to where he is now, without such tactics, and probably a hell of a lot more dirty tricks.

     TM30 has been in the law since 1979, but only enforced since 2018.

   It's only purpose has been an IMMIGRATION CASH COW. at 1600 baht to register, anybody ever checked where that money ended up.

      This is Thailand, simple transactions cannot be done in 5 mins, so it takes days or weeks to complete any legal formality, hence the delay.

      The EC were very quick to dismiss the other 30 odd cases, so this case adds further fuel to the EC's corruption.

     It's ok for Thais to do the little rip-off's, because its ok for the top knobs to do the big one's.  Its become in-bred, 

    Just goes to prove the bigger problem, if we all have to end up with electric cars, and then a new problem 20 years later, as all these billions of batteries become naff, somehow, they will have to be safely disposed of. an even bigger problem than producing enough power required for the next 20 years.

      Amazing, how so many with just a secondary school education, end up with so many degrees, So what do military academies teach them, apart from how to organise coups's.

      Don't know what all the fuss is about, the ambassador only said what's been said a million times before, by US politicians and the media.

      I don't understand financial matters, so I'm sure military men don't know either. 

      Maybe a foreigner, only used to left hand drive. ????

      Suspending parliament might be a good idea, then hang the lot of them, (except Boris) for putting Britain in this mess,  Its always been just for them, and not Britain.

      If Britain ends up remaining in the EU. have we got to spend another 10 years trying to get a referendum to leave again, any deal that leaves us tied to the EU. is going is going to be worse than it was before.

      Major, is a pathetic wimp worse than Corbyn.

     Inspite of all the Thai denials, there must be a reason why the medical labs suspect pad thai, the family are only stating what they may have been told. 

    Its not inconceivable that a parasite was picked up here, I've seen cooks wipe a used bowl with what I can only describe as a well used dish rag, before cooking another dish in the same bowl.

     Changing the subject slightly, some years ago I went to Bangkok docks to pick up a crate in my pick-up, It was securely loaded, but when I got to the expressway, I was stopped, and fined 1,000 bt. It had been a long hard day, as nothing is straight forward here, so I paid, as I was tired, and just wanted to get back to Chiang Mai, I never did understand what the fine was for, the copper just said not allowed on expressway ???????

      I was allowed to continue, but not stopped again, of course No Ticket.

       When is the new immigration boss going to simplify all the rules to cut all the confusion, and get all I/Os to conform to the correct rules for all.

       Immigration is a total shambles, He should be sorting all these problems, and leaving all the raids and photo shoots to his underlings.

      Is that really too much to expect, even if this is Thailand.

      Isn't that what roof racks are for ?

the scandalous lending of a huge loan to the Krisda Mahanakorn Group by the state-run Krung Thai Bank during the government of prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

        Why blame Thaksin for that.

   Is it not the usual procedure when a so called government in a so called election, then if it can't form a government in a specific time, then a new Election should be called, or doe's that only apply to true democracies.

   Somewhere in the constitution does it state "crooks can rule indefinatly"

Planners should of considered this junction years ago before abruptly ending the super highway. To connect up other outer ring road (by the canal) is now going to be a major headache for someone to sort out now, roundabouts in Thailand are generally a non event, because Thais cannot use them properly, and would probably end in bigger jam's, all I can visualize is trying to put some of the roads over the top with flyovers in that area, or more of some the buildings would have to go.

Maybe Thais should have to have a Residence Certificate, like we foreigners have to when buying or selling.

“The suggestion that we could or should be taken out of the EU without the consent of the House of Commons is fundamentally wrong, and frankly unconstitutional,” Grieve told The Sun.

         It would be unconstitutional if those pro brexit rebels to damage our leaving, having had the referendum to leave, any deal that leaves us tied to the EU is madness
