  1. History can bear testament to how well your type of appeasement to despotic dictatorships works; and you are obviously completely oblivious to the changing attitude of the electorate of Thailand. The electorate have told everyone that they want to live under a democracy, one that can unlock the full potential of this wonderful country, and bring education and health care to all, not just to the privileged elite.
  2. Agree with your assessment of the Burmese generals one hundred percent; genocide on an enormous scale, much of it unreported in the MSM.
  3. What on earth are you talking about ? Who or what is not yet premier, and premier what; premier grade gasoline, premier quality fruit ? How did you manage to get so much nonsense into such a short sentence ?
  4. The only terrorists operating in Burma, are the ones in uniform
  5. Puppet visits puppet master to have strings recalibrated for next dance
  6. It doesn’t mention what make or model of bike he was riding. The Honda CB300 was the bike being ridden by the guy in the other accident on Saturday.
  7. Unable, once again, to construct a valid argument against any of my well documented points, or, disprove any of them, you resort, once again, to the lame, transparent mantra “western MSM propaganda” None of the points I made have been proven to be untrue, as you probably know only too well.
  8. Unable to counter any of the points I made, or expose anything I said as untrue, you resort to the defeatist tactic of simply saying ‘brainwashed’ What a remarkably edifying response; surprised you didn’t just call it ‘propaganda’ which is your other go to tactic when faced with facts that you don’t like.
  9. First of all, it is known worldwide as both the CCP and the CPC, you make a fool of yourself by saying it is not the CCP. As for education, you seem to be completely lacking in this field with regards to China; so here are just a few issues for you to research and educate yourself about: More than one million Uyghurs, ethnic Kazakhs and Kyrgyz detained in concentration (sorry, reeducation) camps - in a systematic effort to eradicate their ethnic and cultural identity. The repression of the religious and cultural identity of the people of Tibet. Forced labour. Tiananmen square, where thousands of young students were slaughtered by the government for protesting peacefully. China, the World’s leading executioner, where the death penalty remains applicable for 46 offences, including non-lethal offences that do not meet the threshold of the most serious crimes under international law. Giving Covid 19 to the world by keeping international flights open but locking down all internal travel. Hong Kong.; complete repression of all freedom of speech. Manipulating the Covid health phone app to spy on, and make “disappear” any anti-government activists. Ignoring the judgment by an international tribunal in The Hague which came down overwhelmingly in favour of claims by the Philippines, regarding territory in the South China Sea. Militarisation of reefs and atolls in the sea, against international law. Continually threatening to occupy Taiwan by military force. The belt and road initiative with corrupt states, designed to blackmail them into ceding land to them, usually land where a deep water military naval base can be built. Setting up illegal “police stations” in foreign countries. And let’s not forget one of China’s most appalling violations of human rights; the forced sterilisation of thousands of young Uyghurs women; mutilating them and consequently denying them their biological imperative to give birth.
  10. RIP fella; When you hit a concrete barrier at 150 kph, when possibly not wearing a seat belt, you are asking an awful lot of the vehicle's air-bags. Another senseless and unnecessary loss of life, but at least he didn't take anyone else with him
  11. It was a simple question which you have not answered: “does that mean you don’t believe the Tiananmen Square massacre actually happened ?”
  12. But everything you know appears to come from wiki, you are continually copying and pasting from their website. So you obviously believe everything you are told by them. Quite a contradiction to saying you believe what you know, not what you are told.
  13. Try telling me something I don’t know, instead of everything I do. That notwithstanding, I do everything I possibly can to minimise supporting the vile, despotic CCP. It was not easy last week, and more expensive, to buy a lawn mower that was not made in China, but I eventually found a Japanese made one, which was 30% more expensive, a price I was delighted to pay. Some Chinese components are impossible (for now) to avoid, but my conscience demands that I do my best. I do not have to buy large consumer goods like their rubbish TV’s, washing machines, refrigerators, etc; and I certainly don’t need to buy their garbage cars. Also, would you be kind enough not to shout at me by using upper case font, it is against forum etiquette, and is rater rude … many thanks
  14. It is probably because some commenters on this forum understand that every time a Chinese car is sold, it helps to fund the burgeoning military machine of the despotic, repressive, expansionist CCP. Those of us that believe in democracy and human rights for everybody on planet earth, are not very keen on that eventuality.
  15. Absolute nonsense. I looked at, and test drove, a couple of MG’s before I bought my Mazda CX3, and they were a heap of garbage; incredibly badly put together, and drove like an underpowered blancmange on wheels. Cheap, yes, rubbish, unquestionably
  16. RIP Fella …… He sticks to his guns He take the road as it comes It take the shine off his shoes He's too fast to stop He take it over the top He make a line in the news Mark Knopfler 1979
  17. Sounds like you should be in a nursing home; they all have in-house barber facilities, and they’ll teach you basket weaving as a bonus.
  18. And you’re blaming Lazada for your lack of due diligence …. how embarrassing
  19. Indeed, but I think it was lambs liver
  20. Or Wedding ..... not much difference really ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  21. Tricky one really; forecasted is the past tense or past participle of the verb forecast. So it would have been more grammatically correct to have said “Heavy rain and thunderstorms have been forecasted across parts of Thailand” .. thus putting forecast in the past tense. Would really have been better to simply say “Heavy rain and thunderstorms forecast across parts of Thailand”
  22. I assume that’s satire, because you cannot possibly have such a distorted understanding of what democracy means
  23. 5,000 More votes recorded than the number of people on the electoral register ……. how poignant is the message on the tee-shirt of the MP “The truth may be stretched thin, but it never breaks, and it always surfaces above lies, as oil floats on water.”
  24. Classic deflective whataboutery; and please point out where I have ever said that I ignore the fat content of food; conversely, you said that added sugar being a health risk was a myth. Not only is that completely inaccurate, it is also irresponsible to peddle such nonsense. Hopefully most posters on this forum will have the good sense to ignore your fatuous claim.
