Bus Owner Caught Trying to Hide Illegal Gas Cylinders After Deadly Fire
Its the Asean Now lynch mob mentality. Many choose to join the mob , it gets them their all important "likes" and its a lot easier than trying to offer a different point of view

Huge markup on imported foods. Why?
If people are so attached to "luxuries" like Spam and Vegemite and are willing to pay stupid money for them , then this sort of thing will just continue.

how should i export rice?
The website you visited and posted the link to does actually have an english language option, but personally I would not waste my time , effort , or money by getting involved. Your wife is probably saying nothing because she knows nothing. They don't make much money on rice, most of then have no idea, The costs of producing it can be quite high too, which again few of them know much about as they rarely keep track of the expenses involved , Ie cost of fertiliser and irrigation if necessary. If you get involved it is likely that these costs will suddenly and magically increase dramatically, If you really have no idea about this or any other business you would be best advised to stay well away

Vehicle Inspector Reassigned Amid Deadly School Bus Fire Probe
Although that depends on identifying a suitable scapegoat to pin the blame on. One thing is for sure , this will not be allowed to reflect badly on the minister for transport or any others of similar status

Thailand Embarks on Mega 2.68 Trillion Baht Transport Overhaul
This also highlights the various "opportunities" available and goes some way to explaining why "Transport Minister" is one of the most sought after jobs in government

Prime Minister in Tears Over Tragic Bangkok School Bus Fire
I doubt she has any idea whatsoever as to what her responsibilities are. she has no experience in government at all. I think we can expect to see tears regularly from her, not unexpected behaviour from a spoilt little rich girl. Especially one who has been gifted a job that is well beyond the level of her incompetence. Not to worry Daddy will fix it

Prime Minister in Tears Over Tragic Bangkok School Bus Fire
Those words should have been coming out of somebody's mouth 50 years ago and followed up with legislation that was enforced, if indeed anybody really cared, clearly they don't.

Prime Minister in Tears Over Tragic Bangkok School Bus Fire
Nailed it, Its all a performance, looks good for the cameras, and reduces the chances of her being asked too many awkward questions, the expected behaviour of a spoilt little girl who has found herself totally out of her depth, She is crying for daddy to come and make it all go away. Equally nauseating is the arrival en-masse of the white uniformed elite at the hospital brandishing their wicker baskets of "brand" with their faux messages of sympathy Kids and adults are dying everyday in road accidents here, often as a direct result of governmental inaction or corruption, if her tears and the sympathies of the elite were genuine and heartfelt she would be crying every single day , and there would be a full time job for the white uniformed "brand" bearing professional sympathisers. Their reactions and public shows of concern and sadness, are, as usual, directly proportional to the heightened media coverage of this incident, What about all the others who die in traffic or any other accidents every day were government negligence is a factor? presumably their lives don't matter to the same degree?

Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
If you can't add anything constructive , then it is you who should remain quiet, as nobody gives a to$$ what you think. Why not do your trolling elsewhere

Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
To think Great Britain once virtually ruled the world with its empire, and now it is reduced to skimming money off the elderly, Whilst its socialist leaders shamelessly trouser hundreds of thousands of pounds in freebies Where did it all go wrong?

Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
I'm no expert by any means , but a previous poster uploaded this ..... Sanctionable benefits The following benefits can be reduced or stopped if you commit benefit fraud: Carer’s Allowance Employment and Support Allowance Housing Benefit Incapacity Benefit Income Support Industrial Death Benefit Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit Industrial Injuries Reduced Earnings Allowance Industrial Injuries Retirement Allowance Industrial Injuries Unemployability Supplement Jobseeker’s Allowance Severe Disablement Allowance Pension Credit Universal Credit War Disablement Pension War Widow’s Pension War Pension Unemployability Supplement War Pension Allowance for Lower Standard of Occupation Widowed Mother’s/Parent’s Allowance Working Tax Credit I am hoping, that, if you are correct, and I have no reason doubt that you are, in saying that the state pension is classed as a "benefit" Just maybe as per the above list, the state pension is not classed as a "sanctionable" benefit To be honest I don't have a clue anymore

Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
but the end of the letter states...."lf you are receiving benefits and the amount you have been overpaid has not been repaid within one month of the date of this letter deductions from your benefit will be taken to repay this. So that reads to me that if the person has not settled the over payment of any pension payments and associated fine within a month, they can seek to recover money by reducing their benefits ,( if they are receiving any) however not from their pension

Austria's Far Right Seizes Historic Victory Amidst Political Turmoil
The majority of the media is indeed left wing as are the majority of those employed in education, primary , secondary and tertiary have all been infected. In fact so has anybody who spends most of their time in a protected environment. Those of us living in the real world do not have time for such luxuries

Which ever way one reads it , he has only just moved here, he has not been due for any rise yet, nor will he be. now Your advice to "say nowt" is sound enough but this idiot is doing the opposite by broadcasting it on social media
