Does it matter how the fertiliser got there?

      The whole story is as important as the ending, as it should put an end to conspiracy theories. But at the moment, it does appear from all the stories so far, the Government have a lot to answer for, and not just port authorities, except for maybe allowing the transporting ship to sink in the harbour.

The abandoned Rhosus sank where she was moored in Beirut harbour,

      More incompetence by the Lebanese Authorities.

     I thought there was no CV here, only Thais returning, majority of Foreigners here either live here or stuck here, So must be Racism.

So all this corruption is OK with you?

     Corruption is not ok with me, but its a question of who's doing it, if the Government put out contracts, and the suppliers don't full fill the contract because they are not capable, then one can't blame the Government for corruption, if one cannot back up the facts.

The UK is a rotten, corrupt banana republic - the levers of power having been handed to the most mendacious politicians possible by a pliant, dull eyed electorate 

     That's one angry pro European candidate, with a picture to suit.

     Why are all going on about Potus, and the Generals, its now't to do with them, Thousands would of assumed it were a bomb, even the Lebanese people thought it must of been a missile.

     But, the Lebanese Government are blaming port officials, when they themselves seem to of been incompetent at dealing with the issue of what to do with it. They had it confiscated, with no thought on what to do with it for 6 years.

not let cash seep out of the country.

         He could be referring to Wealthy Thais taking their money out due to the high baht.

       The video was not very clear as to what happened, hope an enhanced copy is made available.

     Its quite common for the sea to be like mill pond, before a storm, Hence the expression " the lull before the storm" I know from first hand experience, when I was stupid enough to risk it when I had a 51 ft. ex fishing vessel, I never ignored weather warnings again.

The house owner alleged fired back

        No mention of being shot at first ????

      Sad way to end, probably for only a few Baht, and maybe a phone.

          I think people are missing the main point, Storm warnings were issued, and yet the ferry put to sea, Is it the owners responsibility, or the captains decision, on whether to sail or not ????

he slowed for the red light by gently tapping on his brakes.

          The mind boggles, more like he woke up, saw the lights were red, panicked, slammed on the breaks, more likely.  Another Thai misconception, lots of water never helps when braking, 

      Case should of been dropped, witness claimed it was not him.

      Those that dropped this case, Should serve double the time of the red bull heir.

       If these alleged witnesses, saw what happened, then failed to stop, surely they should be prosecuted for failure to do so.

       Or are there not any Laws in Thailand to that effect.

     I really don't see what repairs can be made to a shock absorber, other than having a replacement.

The last record of him having exited Thailand was on the 25th of April 2017. 

      And yet the death was in 2004, He was in Thailand. ???????

     I believe all the alleged crimes of the Thaksin's, have been blown out of all proportions, by this corrupt military, to make their case for a coup more acceptable.

     Thaksin's sister created a rice scheme to help the farmers, it was the crooked Thais themselves that screwed it up by making false claims, none of those were ever prosecuted, she never made profit from the scheme, but again this corrupt government let the Thaksin's to take the blame.

     And the Thaksin's never wasted Tax money on tanks, sub's, and luxury jets,as toys for the boy's

      Even the Dummy holding the Dummy has been gagged.

       Chinese Ambassadors are  obviously such pathetic liars and criminally insane, its time to kick the lot out and send back to China, Houston is a good start, but the rest need to go. China will not accept anything they are told, so time to stop the appeasing with them.

       As we have seen many times before, the NACC are just a corrupt tool of this corrupt government.
