  1. I could only watch the first few minutes before I stopped in disgust. The obvious lie that there were no black people in the Roman army has been disproven many times. Maybe he later explained that the Romans held north Africa and so must have allowed black people to join the army but when you catch someone in an ignorant comment the first few seconds, turn it off. https://blackpresence.co.uk/black-romans/ https://imperiumromanum.pl/en/article/black-people-in-ancient-rome/ https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/classics/warwickclassicsnetwork/romancoventry/resources/diversity/army/ My apologies if I should have watched the bit where he said there were lots of Africans in the Roman army.
  2. Perhaps he should have shouted "Do you know who I am?" at the judges?
  3. "Governments over the past 25 years jailed more criminals, despite evidence it does not prevent re-offending." There are 8,554 inmates across the UK serving life sentences – more than France, Germany and Italy combined. The British total also exceeds the number of life-sentence prisoners held in jails in Russia and Turkey. Maybe stop jailing people for minor crimes so the wardens can pay more attention to those most likely to be violent?
  4. Not sure who proved Joe Biden guilty of corruption. PolitiFact | Fact-checking Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and Ukraine "We found no evidence to support the idea that Joe Biden advocated with his son's interests in mind, as the message suggests. It's not even clear that the company was actively under investigation or that a change in prosecutors benefited it."
  5. That is interesting because if 9 people are 0.001% of 184,000 then Copilot is wrong that 100% would be 900,000 people. 9 is approximately 0.00489% of 184,000. Copilot! Bad dog!
  6. I don't think that Thailand exchanges information on criminals from abroad in the general sense. Possibly when a specific person is wanted. I doubt that a person's details are allowed to be distributed under the data protection acts in most countries.
  7. Amazing that people "do their own research" and don't bother to find out about the guy spreading this rubbish. Peter McCullough, an American cardiologist known for spreading health disinformation.
  8. So dangerous the media does not dare to name him.
  9. And still the construction company is allowed to continue their botch job. When is is complete, for how many years must drivers expect to have concrete fall on them?
  10. Sometimes the Thai police give the impression that they are all fake. It is hard to tell (some are nice though!).
  11. Hope Harry has a good prenup because it looks like she was after the title and the money.
  12. In Thailand the SEC found that Thaksin used his driver and maid to hold his shares. I would have thought the SEC in the U.S. was better than that.
  13. I get that the Supreme Court says that if a person is born a man biologically then they are always men even if they cut of their family jewels. However, I have some sympathy for people with the feeling they "should" have been born women as that is a psychological issue that they and their families have to deal with. Let them think they are women. Let their mums and dads think they are women but disagree with them insisting on being biological women until the day they have all the biological parts that women have. N.B. There are women without a uterus or who can't give birth to children, but those aren't the only biological identifiers of the female of the species.
  14. The question is, can Farage be bothered to turn up?
  15. These impeachment attempts will continue as long as people think that he is challenging the judiciary and the Constitution. If course, it is his right to do what he thinks is in his power, but people don't have to agree because "America is a free country". - J.D. Vance
  16. A clash of culture maybe. Satire helps. (Insert your Western country here) image as a sun-soaked haven was marred once again after a pair of Arab tourists were caught sunbathing completely covered up on the Riviera, sparking outrage among locals. The incident, occurring today, has intensified demands for stricter measures against unruly Arabic tourist conduct as the fully covered escapade unfolded before bewildered onlookers and involved police intervention. The couple, identified as Ms Aaliyah, 27, and Ms Fatima, 24, stunned passers-by when they were spotted standing unabashedly covered head to foot in Burqas on a public road, seemingly heedless of traffic. Their audacious display prompted locals to notify authorities, who engaged police forces that soon arrived to confront the brazen tourists.
  17. It is interesting that he admitted to the offence. He obviously didn't feel guilt after many years escaping justice.
  18. Why trust the science? If you have a PhD in a related science, you could easily contradict the majority opinion. The problem is, Facebook doesn't count as a scientific reference. The pseudonymous Doctor Simon says that he is a scientist. Even if true, he is a lonely voice railing against thousands of other scientists. I have only the experience of being vaccinated against all childhood diseases and Covid and never been sick. Should we agree with people who propose that vaccines don't work if our experience is that they do?
  19. If only Farage would stop flying to the U.S. and try visiting his constituents at Clacton-on-Sea more often he might be more electable. As it is, he could lose is seat at the next election.
  20. Will these alleged illegals get a fair trial or will they be sent to El Salvador overnight without due process? US nationals next.
  21. Just goes to show not everyone wants the right to lead them. A free country can choose what they want.
  22. I suspect that if someone feels shy of their English ability they will avoid contact. Speak a few polite Thai sentences and they will smile and help.
  23. The Liberals win again according to the latest reports. Carney is a solid leader and not likely to make many unforced errors.
  24. Andrew Jackson was the pioneer of the corrupt ‘spoils system’ under which government officials were hired not on merit but on what they had done for the incoming administration. Since Jackson rewarded jobs to friends, donors, business associates, and friendly newspaper editors, he failed to keep federal offices non-partisan, and led to a cavalcade of theft and corruption. Sounds familiar.
  25. Posters come in two types here. Type 1. Provide reasoned argument with data and references. No name-calling or otherwise childish behavior. Type 2. No reasoning just name-calling and derogatory personal attacks. Incapable of using Google to find the facts in defense of the position. So, everyone in type one.
