  1. Thailand's negotiations with Washington on steep trade tariffs were postponed because the United States has asked Bangkok to review important issues, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra said on Tuesday. https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/general/3008416/thailand-says-talks-with-us-over-trump-tariff-plan-delayed US import tariffs 27.5% remain in place for cars and 50% for trucks
  2. Parking on your driveway without your permission is considered trespassing so not legal
  3. Apply for a dropped kerb A dropped kerb allows vehicles to cross the pavement from the road to a driveway - enter your postcode to find your council’s website for more information. https://www.gov.uk/apply-dropped-kerb Dropped lerbs are not illegal and you do have to apply and pay your local council to have the kerb dropped
  4. 25% tariffs are still in place for automobiles and tariffs for auto car parts are due to start May 3rd so at the moment what you have posted in relation to automobiles and auto car parts is incorrect and false https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/adjusting-imports-of-automobiles-and-autombile-parts-into-the-united-states/
  5. History shows that America was in the business of making people disappear Extraordinary Rendition The policy traces its roots to the administration of former President Bill Clinton. In the words of former CIA agent Robert Baer: "If you want a serious interrogation, you send a prisoner to Jordan. If you want them to be tortured, you send them to Syria. If you want someone to disappear -- never to see them again -- you send them to Egypt." https://www.aclu.org/documents/fact-sheet-extraordinary-rendition
  6. Legal Implications If someone parks over your driveway and blocks you in or out, they may be committing an offense under certain circumstances: Obstruction: Blocking a driveway can be considered an obstruction of the highway, which is an offense. Local By-Laws: Specific local councils may have additional regulations against blocking driveways, which can also result in fines or penalties. https://checkthiscar.co.uk/blog/what-to-do-if-someone-blocks-your-driveway It happened to me many times from a lazy neighbour and her friends options were taking pictures and reporting to local council who would issue tickets or I woke her up once at 06:30 as I liked to do my shopping early in the morning and that worked never parked across my driveway again and she contacted the local council to have her kerb dropped and built her own driveway in her front garden
  7. Australian steel prices plummet as US tariffs fuel rise in imports https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-06/steel-deals-to-be-had-as-tariffs-fuel-glut-of-cheap-imports/105122848 "A lot of the steel going into the USA [will be] out of the market, and that's going to have to find a home," he said. Mr Gianniotis said, earlier this year, buying imported steel was around 10 per cent cheaper than buying from domestic suppliers. After the US tariffs were announced, that discount doubled to 20 per cent. I don't think there will be many US companies buying Australian steel when it comes with extra tarriffs
  8. It was you that posted that Australia doesn't need US trade I think you will find that US doesn't want Australian steel similar to Australia doesn't want US Beef products
  9. Clearly you don't understand why is Australia bothering to trade with the USA since Australia Exports to the United States are less than 5% of Australia's total goods exports unless your exports are so crappy that Australia is unable to find another mug to take those products
  10. Does anymore really give a fig on about your comments are I don't as stated In Australia its pure greed by Australia that prevents them from stopping trade completely with USA since their Exports to the United States are less than 5% of Australia's total goods exports. When I shop there are numerous businesses that I don't like the way they do business so I don't use them its that simple

  12. SYDNEY, April 10 (Reuters) - Australia on Thursday declined Beijing's proposal to work together to counter U.S. tariffs, saying instead it would continue to diversify its trade and lower its reliance on China, its largest trading partner. "We are not going to be holding hands with China in respect of any contest that is going on in the world," Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles told Sky News, referring to the Chinese ambassador's proposal for countries to "join hands" on trade. https://www.reuters.com/business/australia-turns-down-chinas-offer-join-hands-fight-us-tariffs-2025-04-10/ Seems Australia has declined China offer

  14. The Thai Government is treating you the same as anyone living or visting Thailand including Thai nationals upto 400% tariffs on imported wine is a good example
  15. I think you will find there not really that bothered I am not aware of a single country or Government that has special policies designed to favour immigrants which you are one like everyone else that stays long term in Thailand
