Bkk Brian replied to Social Media's topic in World News
The context is that Starmer made the prediction two years ago. Why would he make promises so far out? -

From this topic its not. " The crackdown led to the arrest of tourists from several countries: one from the UK, two from the Netherlands, one from the US, two from Spain, and one from Israel, according to a police spokesperson." -

Ofgem....lol Starmer made it clear enough: “Under a Labour government we would freeze energy bills. We wouldn’t allow them to go up.” -
Starmer Increases Defense Spending: Cuts Overseas Aid to Pay For It
Bkk Brian replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Sure, I was just outlining to Eric Loh that UK spending has always been short of NATO requirements and only now has there been a firm commitment to increase due to the current situation and the US no longer providing for them like parents giving out pocket money -

Did BBC Pay Hamas Members To Be In Documentary?
Bkk Brian replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Excellent X thread from the David Collier the investigative journalist who broke this story. As we learn more about the BBC documentary on Gaza. This is an updated thread on who @bbcnews gave £400,000 to for a propaganda documentary that whitewashes Hamas https://x.com/mishtal/status/1894294955536912883 More of the BBC bias translations Gazan youth on @BBC2’s #OneDayInGaza speaks openly about his fantasy to “rip a Jew’s (Yahud’s) head off,” yet subtitles are flagrantly changed to “rip an Israeli’s head off.” @BBC statement: “The translation is... both accurate and true to the speakers’ intentions.” -

ooops, caught again............... “Under a Labour government we would freeze energy bills. We wouldn’t allow them to go up.” ~ Keir Starmer Snake oil salesmanship. UK domestic energy prices are to rise by 6.4% in April to £1,849 a year on average. -
As for ‘not released yet’, as if the right wing press would not be all over any deaths attributed to the means testing if the winter fuels allowance. Yours is the fail & more shameful slurs. Time to acknowledge just how low and disgusting your comments were. As for this latest you know very well excess deaths are collated from ONS and that takes time. Nothing to do with right wing press.

Updates and events in the War in Ukraine 2025
Bkk Brian replied to cdnvic's topic in The War in Ukraine
Interesting, I wonder how this is going to play out now with the negotiations.............. Ukraine official says minerals deal agreed with US Ukraine has agreed the terms of a major minerals deal with the US, a senior official in Kyiv has told the BBC. "We have indeed agreed it with a number of good amendments and see it as a positive outcome," the official said, without providing any further details. Media reports say Washington has dropped initial demands for a right to $500bn (£395bn) in potential revenue from utilising the natural resources but has not given firm security guarantees to war-torn Ukraine - a key Ukrainian demand. US President Donald Trump said he was expecting his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky in Washington to sign the deal this week, after the two leaders exchanged strong words about each other. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c337461n3xlo -
Israelis in Thailand Urged to Uphold Respectful Conduct
Bkk Brian replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Wow. I live in Phuket which has far more Israeli tourists visit. Never seen an Israeli bag or heard anyone speak Hebrew. So did you overhear them all speaking Hebrew and carrying Israeli bags? So I guess from your experience in other countries Jews speak the countries language. In that case they must all be carrying Israeli bags yes? Or is there a particular Jewish bag that can label them according to their religion? -

Here we go, this is not a bash Israel topic Malcolm. Besides there are 84 licensed cannabis shops on Pai, far too many Cops deny Pai locals have issues with Israeli tourists https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2966610/cops-deny-pai-locals-have-issues-with-israeli-tourists -
The Unwavering Support for Hamas: A Moral Blind Spot

Gazan Influencers "a Gazan influencer and Hamas supporter—celebrating the Bibas family handover on the left, and on the right, entering Israel on October 7, 2023, sword in hand, as a dead Jew is taken to Gaza." -
Coincidently on the way home from the school run today in Phuket I noticed a clean and new pick up truck with around 7 or 8 Chinese builders in the back. Obviously Chinese as they are distinct from the normal Burmese builders who mostly wear matching builders branded t shirts. Also certainly not Thai, so can only leave Chinese. Maybe its becoming a big thing here?

Starmer Backs Trump’s Call for Europe to Increase Defence Spending

No, that's your observation. Taking responsibility rather than relying on the US is his. Clinging to past comforts saved money, time to pay up. Simple. -
