  1. I like the fact that the UK arrests policemen if they are suspected of a crime.
  2. He should reveal his evidence, if that is what it is, to the public before retiring.
  3. 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.
  4. Don't worry, they will be back soon.
  5. No appeal? Seems fair. He should stand for election as an MP.
  6. I do wish Trumpsters would post a credible source rather than sneering. I'd happily admit the OP's source is wrong.
  7. I think Jimi was probably a better showman than Beck and that is what excited people at the time.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Thank goodness (breathes a sigh of relief).
  11. If any of the contributions come from Russia, I would want to know.
  12. Conspiracy theories. The meat and potatoes of social media. Admittedly, I am surprised anyone would allow Starlink to be used for vote tabulation.
  13. And... The Archbishop of Canterbury has resigned because of the case. www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y5l7116g1o.amp
  14. 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,
  15. 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.
  16. Suspicion without evidence. Kind of foolish.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. If you create hate then you would get it.
  20. He could have declassified documents in writing perhaps but not by dreaming. Someone needed to check exactly what he wanted to declassify. https://www.americanbar.org/news/abanews/aba-news-archives/2022/10/fact-check-presidential-authority/
  21. Like a broken record. The tourism industry contributed 2.78% to GDP in 2022, and 7.24% in both direct and indirect contributions. Whereas manufacturing contributed 35%. I know where I would focus. Forgot, they need people uneducated and unskilled to work as labor for rich people.
  22. You can live well in Thailand until your health suffers. It isn't the occasional doctor visits, medicines or even some surgery that costs too much, it is the constant return visits for dialysis or something really chronic. Getting health insurance is really expensive. I can understand why Spain might be good if the same health requirements are free or cheap.
  23. Bye.
