  1. Maybe AN is not the target audience for this type of story?
  2. I think in the context of other airports globally it is better than most.
  3. BOI supported projects can own land.
  4. Darn. Only found messages to black people came from Poland. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/black-people-across-the-us-received-texts-saying-theyd-been-selected-to-pick-cotton-following-the-election?srsltid=AfmBOoqyqRnEXO9sKeMJsyZyTwH7ewbjgCdVxWAtPTmxUDud88yKthKn www.myarklamiss.com/louisiana-news/louisiana-attorney-general-says-fbi-is-investigating-racist-and-vile-spam-texts/amp/
  5. Can't remember where I read it but didn't the US find that many of the IPs of the mysoginists were in Poland?
  6. I like the fact that the UK arrests policemen if they are suspected of a crime.
  7. He should reveal his evidence, if that is what it is, to the public before retiring.
  8. Agreed, but I know people who went to study and just stayed there. Also, one couple who went on tourist visas have been there for 10 years. The Thais in America may have adopted local culture but will face some problems without visas or work permits.
  9. Don't worry, they will be back soon.
  10. No appeal? Seems fair. He should stand for election as an MP.
  11. I do wish Trumpsters would post a credible source rather than sneering. I'd happily admit the OP's source is wrong.
  12. I think Jimi was probably a better showman than Beck and that is what excited people at the time.
  13. They shouldn't worry about what the Thai PM does, pretty soon many will be deported to Thailand, and they can vote for who they want.
  14. Why would anyone compare Bangkok with London, Singapore, Stockholm, and Milan? Income is very different and driver discipline totally different (except perhaps for Milan) Once the fee is introduced, expect it to rise whenever the government's coffers are declining.
  15. Thank goodness (breathes a sigh of relief).
  16. If any of the contributions come from Russia, I would want to know.
  17. Conspiracy theories. The meat and potatoes of social media. Admittedly, I am surprised anyone would allow Starlink to be used for vote tabulation.
  18. And... The Archbishop of Canterbury has resigned because of the case. www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y5l7116g1o.amp
  19. The Church of England is not Catholic (since Henry XIII set it up) but agree with you this was disgusting behavior by any religious institution,
  20. The UK has 8 public holidays, plus up to 28 days' vacation = 38 days off per year. France has 11 public holidays plus 35 days' vacation = 46 days off a year. Thailand, 19 public holidays and 6 days of vacation = 25 days off a year. Good luck Thai people.
  21. Suspicion without evidence. Kind of foolish.
  22. Are there any state boarding schools in the UK? Military personnel have to move about and wouldn't want their kids to change schools often. Continuity of education is provided by private boarding schools.
  23. This has been discussed so many times. If you declassify a document by thinking, what evidence is there that it was declassified? If documents are declassified, there’s usually a painstaking process of blacking out what information still stays secret.
