  1. Surprised to see so many comments on this subject. FACT. UK pensions have always been frozen for ex pats living in Thailand. Petitions have been raised and questions even asked in Parliament to no avail. My pension is frozen at the 2009 rate. To make things even worse the spouse allowance was also taken away a few years ago. Nothing you can do about it I'm afraid. It's called government savings ,while the super rich get away with everything nowadays
  2. Disgusting but expected. Worse will follow.
  3. His biggest mistake was to make the timid Merrick Garland AĢ. With a braver man Trump might well have been disqualified to run again and possibly in prison for all his crimes.
  4. Not really. Trump was so desperate to talk to someone after being snubbed by almost everyone else. Obama clearly didn't want to engage but was too polite not to. Interesting that the official Carter Centre photo was taken from such an angle that it excluded Trump completely. I loved the way Biden looked in Trump's direction every time he mentioned honesty, character and integrity. Kudos to Michelle Obama for being elsewhere as she was originally detailed to sit next to Trump.
  5. Hopefully Elon Musk will meet with a bad end. The world could well do without him and his ilk.
  6. This man is very dangerous and should mind his own bloody business and stick to licking Trump's backside. First attacking Britain, then Germany, now even Norway. In other words everywhere there is a left of centre government. Europe unite against this obscenely rich oligarch before it's too late.
  7. Say what you like about Jimmy Carter but he was the exact opposite to what we have now. An honest ,decent man who did his job in difficult times with the minimum of fuss. Carried on his charity work well into his 90's and still lived in the same modest house. A true gentleman. RIP.
  8. Not in my lifetime because I am in my 80's now but before too many decades have passed the world will be governed by oligarchs such as Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg etc .Those with enormous obscene wealth will be able to dictate policy to what is left of democratic government .
  9. Does he not realise that he is not the President yet?
  10. I am lost for words. Never imagined there would be so many Trumpers in Thailand.
  11. Not true ,I had robotic protastectamy in 2008 at Siriraj hospital. There were only 2 da Vinci machines in Thailand at the time, although that was 16 years ago.
  12. ""The Biden Crime Family"" ?? Laughable and pitiful considering the Trump Crime Family. Just consider the real crime pardons that Trump dished out. Now one of them will be Ambassador to France and he sure won't be welcome there.
  13. MAGA? Well done, Joe. Crimes that are so small compared to many, many Republicans. A witchhùnt from beginning to end. I guess we should pardon Trump and his many allies. ????
  14. Supposedly a national impartial organization, the BBC is now a propaganda machine for the Tory and Reform parties and badly needs a clear out starting at the top. Impartiality needs to be returned now.
  15. At least he got one thing right.
  16. YES, PLEASE !!!!
  17. There can be no sensible answer to this question.
  18. It may well be the laughing stock of the world in the not too distant future.
  19. Roll on 6th November so all this rubbish will stop.
  20. Had a protastectamy here in Thailand in 2008 followed by radiotherapy. Still here to tell the tale. Would strongly recommend Siriraj government hospital who have all the best equipment and surgeons. Have da vinci robot also to assist. Excellent treatment for 16 years
