CG1 Blue

If it's true that he suffered with Epilepsy, it's possible he could've had a fit during or after his cab ride to Pattaya and bashed his head. Excessive alcohol can trigger a fit. As to why he ended up near Pattaya, maybe his two friends wouldn't leave a boring BKK nightclub and this fella was desperate for the full on Pattaya experience. An hour's journey wouldn't deter a man on that mission full of booze. In my younger days I often disappeared on nights out because I didn't want to be where my mates wanted to stay, and I couldn't be bothered to discuss it.

Absolutely. He's more likely to survive in a Thai hospital than under the so called 'care' of the NHS in the UK.

Yep, these wind farms and all the fields full of solar panels are destroying biodiversity - they're not environmentally friendly at all. Same as this rush to build millions of new houses to accommodate the population swell from immigration. Concreting over more countryside. The same people calling for more houses, more wind farms and more solar farms also call themselves environmentalists 🤦‍♂️ You couldn't make it up

Are gay war heros excluded from Remembrance Sunday etc? Maybe you think gay war heros should be celebrated separately. Bit divisive that...

A country's leader can either appease the left (like the UK does) and accept the risk to it's citizens by allowing people in from from these trouble zones. Or they can introduce measures to reduce the risk to it's citizens, and face the wrath of the left. I would prefer my country's leader to do the latter. Unfortunately I'm from the UK.

I disagree. A country's leader can either appease the left (like the UK does) and accept the increased risk from some individuals from these countries. Or they can take drastic measures to reduce the risk for all of it's citizens, knowing they'll face the wrath of the left (throwing around the racist card etc.). I know which I prefer.

No, the Rwanda plan was delayed by human rights activists and lawyers, and then scrapped by Labour. It wasn't a perfect plan but it was already deterring illegal migrants even before being implemented. What is a better deterrent - the threat of being sent to Rwanda, or the 'threat' of being put up in a UK hotel? Have boat crossing increased since the Rwanda plan was scrapped?

Is that the law that will have failed asylum seekers transferred to a third country? These bogus asylum claimants get years of rejections and appeals before they are deemed to be failed asylum seekers. This law will not deter the boat people. To deter the boat people we need a law that would remove illegal migrants immediately. The Rwanda plan started to deter illegals entering Britain (remember how Ireland were cursing the UK because the illegals were going there instead?). Even though the Rwanda plan never got off the ground, the risk of being sent to a third country was a deterrent. Since Labour removed that deterrent we've seen record breaking numbers crossing the Channel.

I agree. The two men are probably arrogant tw@ts who have made a nuisance of themselves since arriving in Phuket, and have probably slapped women before. I assume that's what you mean...

Maybe it's the cumulative effect after years of seeing drunk idiots with a superiority complex look down on them, and abuse and sh@g their women. It only takes one incident to make them finally snap. I've never been attacked by Thai men, but that's because I'm respectful to the locals, even when I'm drunk. And I don't slap bar girls.

So do you think this improves Thailand's reputation? A country that previously had some of the toughest drug laws is now a magnet for pot heads, and is becoming THE place to smuggle weed from. If you think that's good for a country's global image you must be smoking something.

It's a pity it didn't happen. Drunken entitled pr 1 cks like that bloke deserve to be taught a lesson, Thai style. Good on the young Thai kid for trying.

The only time I went with a Viet was in SG about 10 years ago. After she left I realised she'd taken my bottle of Bvlgari aftershave from the bathroom. Lesson learnt. Good night though!

I find it distasteful that you can sit there in the safety of your home digging up snippets from the internet to passionately back up your argument, suggesting that there's nothing to see here, and that all is well in South Africa. Are you an expert on South Africa, or are you just googling in order to have a dig at Trump? Go and live in SA for a few years, or talk to actual South Africans about what's going on under the ANC in their home country, and then report back to us. Trump made errors no doubt, but he was 100% right to raise awareness of this situation. The BBC hierarchy suffer from white guilt, so the bias is no surprise.

Disgraceful, divisive hate speech. This is a perfect example of how to keep racism alive in the UK.

Scotland is hardly impacted by mass immigration because the vast majority of migrants head for London and the south east of England. This is why the Scots are generally more pro-immigration. Scotland has a tiny population for it's size, so they are more likely to encourage migration. England is (relatively) crowded. Add this to the fact Yousaf is Muslim and most illegal migrants are young Muslim males, then it's no surprise he's going to speak negatively about any push back against migration.

"It does make a difference if the animal is trained since birth to respect and be calm, around people and other animals." Would you leave your kids/grandkids alone in a house for a week with one of these Pit Bulls that has been trained from birth to respect and be kind? "If cats were bigger, they would do a lot of damage like their cousins the leopards, lions and tigers." That's precisely the point, and is the reason why lions and tigers are not pets. Animals capable of easily killing humans (e.g. Lions, Pit Bulls etc.) should not be pets.

When Thailand legalised weed shops it became a magnet to the world's undesirables. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with smoking a joint. It's about the impression it gives the outside world. There will be more drugs and fighting stories, because more druggies and trouble makers are now choosing Thailand.

The sooner they reverse the cannabis laws and get rid of all the weed shops the better. Thailand will continue to attract the 'anything goes' crowd until this happens. Weed shops selling other illegal drugs? Who'd have expected that to happen! 🤦‍♂️

He's the US version of Gary Lineker. These champagne socialists can't help themselves. They truly believe everybody MUST agree with their opinions. Delusional. Shame, because his antics are putting me off watching his movies. How can anyone believe in his 'tough guy' characters now he's revealed himself as a wet lettuce leftie.

Funny how Germany, France, Italy etc. are in a worse economic position than the UK. Did they also Brexit?

Both valid concerns. With the Uber drivers it's irritating and time consuming when they go the wrong way, and you can't have a proper conversation with them about it. With NHS workers it's much more serious. There are enough mistakes made in our NHS putting patient health / lives at risk. A language barrier increases the risk of mistakes even further. That's just common sense.

He's a conviction politician. He's always been passionate on these issues. He doesn't change his views to garner votes like most politicians do. In fact I'd say he doesn't care what other people think of him! You may not agree with his views, but you can't accuse him of saying these things to garner votes.

It does matter. The public are concerned about hundreds of undocumented young males arriving on boats every day, costing the tax payer £8 million per day just for the hotel accommodation, abusing the UKs extremely generous asylum system. These men are not being sent back to where they came from. Voluntary returns, and sending back some Brazilian overstayers is not going to address these concerns. Labour are massaging the facts, and going for easy wins.

Article 8 of the The ECHR has been repeatedly used by lawyers to stop foreign criminals from being deported. The ECHR stopped the 1st flight to Rwanda from leaving the runway. The public are becoming more aware of the way the ECHR is used to stop deportations. But you're right, a big chunk of the population don't know much about it. Your points about public concerns: the economy - cost of keeping asylum seekers in the UK is now huge (£8 million per day just on hotels) the NHS - more immigration = more use of overstretched NHS services crime i.e. whether they feel safe - nobody knows the background of the thousands of asylum seekers free to roam UK streets from their hotels. In my local city there are regular reports of kids being scared by groups of asylum seekers gathering near schools. They're all interlinked.
