This was not a ‘Criminal trial’, it was a ‘Civil Suit’. Nothing whatsoever to do with the criminal justice system.

She’s a US citizen, she was transported over state lines for sex while under the age of 18. Read up on the law.

You need to do some reading up. Don’t be like Andrew.

He’s in this mess because, despite all the options he undoubtedly had, he chose the illegal one.

At long last, somebody got to him with god advice: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/feb/15/prince-andrew-and-virginia-giuffre-reach-settlement-in-principle

If as the OP now suggests, he wishes to avoid a false positive for a PCR test booked on March 10, what use is knowledge of how many cycles the PCR test employs? The test will be performed to the procedure that is applied and the result will be whatever the test determines the result is. Neither the OP nor anyone else is going to be offered a test procedure different to that which is employed.

Hacktivists ‘Anonymous’ have hacked the money feed to the Canadian Trucker Protestors, exposing the names, locations of tens of thousands of individuals not just in Canada, but the US, UK and elsewhere. Many people transferring money have used work place email addresses, and many of those are on .gov domains. Apart from foreign interference, also exposed is the sheer scale of the money being made by the truckers, running into millions of dollars. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/feb/14/foreign-money-funding-extremism-in-canada-says-hacker

Good luck with that.

Those of us who had Pfizer vaccinations from the Thai Government program are now approaching 6 months since our second shot. Across Thailand local public health centers are offering boosters as a walk-in. I’ll be getting my booster as soon as my six month has past. The virus isn’t going away, it’s still here and it’s going to be with us for ever.

This is the issue. Johnson is once again ‘winging it’. He’s doing so for two reasons, hubris and the mess his premiership is in. And Hubris caused that mess in the first place.

At what point does the conspiracy nonsense loosen its grip?

Presenting a passport full of visas and visa extensions is a bit of a tell.

Entitlement is based on residency, if you return to the UK and take up residency you are entitled to healthcare in the UK’s NHS. If you are simply visiting the UK and you need health care the NHS will provide it, but may charge you. Aetna (sponsors to this forum) have policies which cover such costs to the value of the policy.

The UK’s private health sector is a parasite on the back of the NHS. It doesn’t train doctors, they come from the NHS. It doesn’t train nurses, they come from the NHS. It doesn’t train health professionals, they come from the NHS. It makes profits from the easily performed, short treatment low treatment cost procedures and passes difficult high cost treatments back to the NHS. When your private hospital care goes wrong, you’ll be sent back to the NHS. The NHS is effectively underwriting the Private Healthcare Sector.

You’ll be straight back to the NHS when the need arises.

Repealing libel laws might help. Suggesting oil pouring into the ocean from the outflow of an oil refinery is coming from the oil refinery risks criminal prosecution with attendant serious prison time and fines.

Yes a time of extreme wealth amongst a tiny fraction and extreme poverty amongst the masses. Many parallels to Thailand 2021.

Stating the obvious

No I haven’t only parked at home, silly idea.

Neither did people in the UK before pensions were introduced.

Perhaps a starting point would be to determine what current wages are. Around us the going rate for gardeners, building labour is Bht500/day, for skilled building workers, brick layers, carpenters, electricians etc it’s Bht700~900 a day. I suspect anyone with options is already earning over Bht500/day, but of course people in provincial villages shackled to debt might not be able to get a decent pay, especially if working for their lender.

So let’s set what is acceptable by the poverty in failed states.

Does publicizing these videos serve any purpose beyond feeding voyeurism and stoking fear? I’ve lived in Thailand almost 25 years now, had a car the whole time, ever once have I come across people getting violent over parking spaces. The only times I’ve ever had anyone approach me regarding parking, they’ve been polite and respectful, just like the vast majority of people are polite and respectful.

Perhaps a better question would be, where would you rather have sat out the COVID Pandemic, Thailand or elsewhere (please name the place)?

We need to put these claims of destroying the economy/industry into perspective. I was working in Thailand during the 97~98 financial crisis and currency crash. Nobody who witnessed that can reasonably claim COVID, lockdowns, isolation has come anywhere near destruction wrought by that financial crisis. I’ve also been in Thailand throughout the COVID Pandemic. Putting aside one month of lockdown and the minor inconvenience of face masks I’ve not come across any restrictions that I personally did choose to impose on myself. Thailand has had a relatively easy ride through COVID. The Government could have done many things better but I feel very fortunate to have been able to sit it out here, rather than elsewhere.
