Sir Dude

Need to nip this nonsense in the bud and deport them so that anyone else doesn't think they can pull this BS.... these morons do not belong in the West and have nothing in common with us... nothing but a cancer in society. Deport them or lock them up as they are idiots.

China is in trouble, but mainly internally due to the CCP's decisions, not Trump or Tariffs etc., although they are the icing on the cake. China has started to implode because of the CCP's and Xi's decisions regarding control freakery on everything... and it all started with their disasterous Covid policy, politicizing of busnesses by requiring every company board has a party political Kommissar member to monitor compliance etc. On top of that Chinese people are being told Moaist stuff like "eat bitterness" and the youth are "lying flat" or "letting it rot" as they believe they have no future... this has all started since Xi took over, was never like this before. The rich in china are also fleeing with their money. People think it's the bad orange man, but no, it's not, it's the CCP and it's awful policies... even look at military officers in the PLA etc., they have to spend 40-50% of their time studying complete nonsense like "Xi Jinping thought" and such complete BS instead of military tactics.... all about control at ant cost.

Classic case of German politics and election MO, completely weak and designed to make traffic-light coalitions that can barely agree on anything, with endless meetings to decide anything meaningful. Times they are a changing and people are unhappy with the status quo... the winds of change are blowing across Europe and it is only a matter of time regarding how long the established liberal order can hang on to power, as they have generally failed miserably on major issues and people are starting to see it.

Well, not hard to figure out what is going on. Wages are simply not keeping pace with the increased cost of living/inflation plus interest rates are high, governments around the world are taxing more, especially imports as they are worried about the Chinese dumping policy MO that is the only way for them to keep their economy afloat, which destroys local competition and companies due to the huge subsidies that Chinese firms get from the CCP (because the CCP only cares that their people have jobs and don't rebel)... which in turn makes products made elsewhere more expensive. Can also couple that with general corporate greed, war, dwindling job opportunities everywhere (even in the West)... look at the UK, businesses are more reluctant to hire due to excessive NI and general taxes. The simple truth is that governments are running out of money everywhere so they want to squeeze the Joe public and the businesses for as much as possible... even places like Thailand are skint too due to frivolous spending nonsense. Pages worth of this stuff on a topic like this one.

Well, what can you say carrying that in a bag at an airport, other than can't fix stupid? Asking for it, and a good Darwin Awards submission.

Harry is a deluded moron that plays second fiddle to his wife's online persona and mental issues, and who is detached from reality and blew it all for a bit of pussy... isn't the first and won't be the last. Better to let the big head do the thinking and he should stop digging and put the spade down.

The reason Reform UK has done so well is because the traditional two parties are so lost and full of BS... and there isn't the stigma/betrayal of voting for Reform that there is for switching sides for the two main parties. It is high time that UK politics got a shake up... good that it's happening now. Reform is not far-right, just center-right... and MSM should stop calling anyone to the right of Stalin "far right". How about call the Labour party for what it really is... "far-left"?

Lol, who did thay ask? Bet they are not representitive of the Thai public at large... I'd say most Thais are pissed-off with stuff right now. These puff articles have no grounding in reality.

Doesn't pass the smell test on this guys... a competent former banker should have made much better provisions for his future and got a bunch of money and stocks, bonds, and treasury options, etc. What? He's whinging about the UK national pension? Come on, sounds like BS.

Look on YouTube for "China Uncensored" or "China Decoded" if you want to see through the CCP and bot propaganda nonsense you are continually handed too on so many platforms.

Everywhere that has sensible and world-creating societies with clever people are in a demographic time bomb situation and decline... the useless will take over the world and return it to the stone age through their tribal and religious nonsense.

Funny, a deafening silence from the usual self-righteous brigade here on this one, but it's fine that the BBC is up there in its complicty for enabling hate... oh dear, oh dear, such much for balance and credibility. Strong is the bias on here... almost so bad that nothing can really be taken seriously on this forum, just a troll and bot propaganda outlet for nefarious entities.

Tipping in some countries like the US is way out of control with the entitlement of hospitality staff off the chart. Tipping should be done if you feel the service has been really good, above and beyond the usual 10% etc. that is often added to your bill regardless. It also depends where I am. If I'm in a decent hotel and the hospitality staff are crushing the service, then fine... but if I have any doubts about the place, then I'll simply pay for each drink/food item as it is ordered and arrives, then no bill to get screwed over on.

China and it's awful dictorship led by the CCP is in huge trouble... I hope they drown in their communism and intolerance, regardless of the cost. The West made this monster, and will just have to swallow the consequences of starving it out of existence... well worth it, even if it costs people more. This reset has been a long tome coming and way overdue... awful regimes like this need to meet awful ends.

Lol... funny how the paid pro-CCP US-haters are trying to spin this here... pass me the barf bucket, please.
