I read the British newspapers daily, and most pictures of criminals are of non ethnic British people
So you have to do lot of counting
Given the topic: Murder rate by ethnicity
For the three-year period year ending March 2017 to the year ending March 2019, when looking at the principal suspect of a homicide offence – over two-thirds (70%) of suspects convicted of homicide were White, almost one in five (18%) were Black, 9% were Asian and 3% were in the “Other” ethnic categoryVery interesting. Two questions:
1. How many percent of the british population are white/black/asian?
2. Are immigrants from muslim countries like Syria, Irak, Lebanon counted as white, black or asian?

A look at the map shows that Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore guard the Street of Malakka, not Thailand.
And even if the mighty Thai submarine fleet would rush out to secure foreign shores, what would they expect the enemy to do? Laugh himself to death?
But let them buy their new toys. Money must change hands and that keeps the country running. Sadly they cancelled the deal with the stone old German submarines and took chinese instead.
The subs will be as usefull for Thailand's savety as their proud airplane carrier is.

Does Thailand need Submarines?
A clear YES.
The US, the Chinese, the Russians - each super power needs submarines and so does Thailand.
But submarines are much complicated to handle, especially in deep water aeras like the Golf of Siam. So the Thai submariners should get some training in Austria or Switzerland before boarding their vessels.

Isn't happening is it - EU vessels transferring them. Would have to have government port authority permission to return them to Libya, wherever
It happened multiple times in the last years that the "recuers" refused to go to a north african harbour though it was closer and they had the permission of the local authorities.
Those "rescuers" are crossing the waters close to the african shore to pick "refugees" up. The imigrants know that and count on it. Without those people smugglers less imigrants would try and put their lifes at risk.

The 1974 Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea says any ship learning of persons in distress "should proceed with all speed to their assistance".
Accordingly exactly what laws is the rescue ship breaching?
International maritime rules do not say the rescuers have to give "those in trouble" a free ride to the european welfare system.
So pick them up and bring them back to where they boarded. Mission accomplished.

The average tourist spends two or three weeks in Thailand.
There must be millions of them waiting to book a 14-days-all-inclusive-quarantaine-holiday I guess. This will save Thailand's tourism surely. The General and I are sure about that.

Is Trump Barry the same sister who appears in Mary Trump's book asking for The Donald's help to push her carreer as a judge?

It won't help the OP and I'm sorry to read a story that I heared in hundreds of variations over the years.
If you want to buy land/home/anything in your wife's/GF's/family's name see it as a gift.
If you cannot afford to loose your "investment", let it be.
Do not fight for your "right", even if there's a contract/housebook. No home is worth to risk your mental and physical health, especially in rural aeras, where it can become quite dangerous.
Enjoy your home/wife as long as it lasts and when it comes to the break and things turn ugly, just smile and walk away.
If you have kids and want keep them, try first to come to an agreement with their mother. It can be much easier as expected. Money helps not only in Thailand.
Good luck to the OP

Do you have to any prove about the cancer surgeries that weren’t carried out because of corona or did you get that from conspiracy websites?
Do you understand written German?
I hope it's not against the rules to post a link to a german news website:
Conspiracy website? "Die Zeit" is one of the most respected printmedia in Germany.
Sounds like BS to you? Never mind. Reality is not for everyone.

I have several friends in Germany who are doctors and nurses. What you write is absolute nonsense. These people are working plenty of overtime even without Covid, and this pandemic just made it worse. And patients didn’t die because certain treatments were postponed. Only uncritical treatments were postponed.
You have "some friends who are doctors in Germany"? Great! I AM in Germany and in the med business. Our staff works since the beginning of the outbreak in the most dangerous places such as old age and nursing homes.
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Get some facts.

We were down to 200 infections/day and after they eased up it went straight back up to over a thousand. What pisses me off the most is that the idiots demonstrating in the streets without masks and the recommended safety distance to each other don’t get that they’re one of the major reasons why this keeps dragging on and on and on!
Yeah, right, the rising numbers are coming from the Corona demonstrators. They poison our whole society, those "idiots". Not so the thousands of BLM-demonstrators just two weeks before where only a part of the bleeding hearts wore masks and no one practized social distancing. Or the Antifa-terrorists who deserted again parts of the city of Berlin just a few hours after the bad bad Corona demonstrators were gone.
And by the way: In Germany more people were dying because of the lockdown than from Corona itself. Hospitals sent their staff into short work, more than 20.000 urgent cancer operations were seized, patients were left untreated.

So sorry, cannot. Too many TM30 to be written. Or was it 28? Or fiftysomething?

Yeah I can imagine, join up or die, similar peer pressure
There was no "join or die" in recruiting young men for the SS. All of them had the choice to join the regular army instead the "elite troop" Waffen-SS.

Just a stonethrow from my hometown of Hamburg!
Neuengamme was a concentration camp, not an extermination camp (Vernichtungslager).

Again statements with which historians disagree. Death camps were located in Germany, in areas that Top Nazi's considered German.
Afaik there were no "Vernichtungslager" inside Germany.
But who cares where exactly the Nazi-killers slaughtered their millions of victims?

but no problem for Germany when it comes to importing Russian gas via the Nordstream 2 pipeline...talk about rank hypocrisy...
And why should that be a problem?
Germany buys russian oil and gas since ages. Even in the hotest times of the cold war the Russians (the communist soviet-regime then) NEVER used gas/oil as a political weapon.
Northstream 2 was invented after the Ukraine refused to pay and stole gas from the pipelines passing the country. Europs gas supply was not endangered by Russia but by the Ukraine. Good idea to bypass such a country.
The US don't like Nortstream. Why? Because they want to sell their own liquid gas to Europe.

Historical research proves clearly:
1. Until deep in the ww2 no one was conscriptet into the SS with the exception of some "Volksdeutsche". And even they had the right to choose the Wehrmacht and go to the front instead of becoming a SS member.
2. Even in 1944 young men could alternatively choose the Wehrmacht.
3. There is not one single evidence that SS-members who refused to take part in the killings were shot or even punished.
4. Even the killing unit "Hamburger Polizeibataillon 101" did not force their staff to join the killings. No one who decided not to kill ever was punished.

And no, most did not know about the holocaust. It stands to reason, if only 20,000 were convicted of crimes related to the holocaust and 80 million people lived in Germany and those convicted did their utmost to keep the crimes secret, then very clearly the majority did not know about it.
The majority may not have known exactly what was going on but no one could not have realized the sudden vanishing of his jewish neighbor. The jewish life in Germany was rich at that time. No city, no town without jewish communities.
The HC was a huge industrial complex with trains full of prisoners crossing the whole country and a complete infrastructure. There were also hundreds of thousands German troops in the east covering SS-units with "special orders". They saw what happened to the polish and russian jews.
Only who did not want to know did not know.
Sure, after the defeat, no one knew nothing about anything. It was much easier than to confess "yes, I knew about the crimes but i was not strong enough to stand up against it. I just tried to keep my own hands as clean as possible."

Young Thai dudes wearing Nazi symbols and uniforms have nothing to do with the ideology behind the <deleted>. And the worldwide famous Thai education system garantees they don't know much about it.
It's just some sort of strange fashion and provocation as in my generation long hair and wearing US-parkas and Che-Guevara-caps were.

'Most did not know about it' is not correct, many sources for that, e.g.
Agree. Most Germans knew at least roughly what was going on, even those living in rural aeras.
But what does that mean? Were all of them guilty because they knew and did not uprise? Who of us members of lucky generations can seriously claim he would have resisted the Nazi regime and it's deadly minions?
STV: Worldwide interest is low - and few Elite Card holders keen to return

I'm very sure that a handfull of STV-holders will save the Thai tourism industry...
while I'm hanging around in Germany waiting to meet my Thai family somewhen in the far future.
What do I tell when I see my son in tears in Skype, asking "Papa, when will you come back?"
So sad, so sad.
To leave Thailand in March to take care my business here in Europe was one of the worst faults I ever made.
