A near neighbour of mine bought her son a big bike for his 17th birthday. He didn't live to see his 18th birthday. Of course, she does't blame herself, she blames her farang husband for giving her the money to buy it. Damn those ATMs!

I hear so many horror stories about UK NHS...
I have several members of my family working in the NHS. It's true that it is under severe stress, due to government under-funding, but manages to retain a world class service that serves the British people well.
I was treated at a world class cancer centre (Christies), promptly and with cutting edge treatment. All free. Now, almost 10 years later, I remain in remission.

The authorities allowed the Muslims rape gangs to act with impunity and without being prosecuted and do it in the open , that is why TR highlighted the situation
They were all convicted and received much longer prison sentences than your beloved Tommy Islam. The situation had already been highlighted by the MSM. The MSM temporarily removed their content whilst reporting restrictions were in place. Tommy Islam continued to gob off, despite the judges instructions, and endangered the trial.
Who allowed (or tried to allow) the rape gangs to act with impunity? The British justice system, who successfully prosecuted them and imprisoned them, or Tommy Islam who, in his pursuit of personal notoriety, almost gave them their freedom?

I will leave you to keep defending kiddie fiddlers mate
Give yaself a pat on the back but you disgust meNo one is defending kiddie fiddlers (please quote a post that does). We're condemning a racist who broke the law and who's actions could have led to kiddie fiddlers walking free.

We do have free speech in the UK, however hate speech and racial hatred are excluded. We wouldn't want the KKK marching through our streets carrying torches or neo-nazis goosestepping through our streets proudly wearing their swastikas. First Amendment? Only in America.

If you want to know the true cost of being sick in Thailand, watch Kev in Thailand's latest vlog. Gives an honest breakdown of his medical costs. The medical insurance recommended by Immigration wouldn't have gone very far to meet his costs. Waste of money for serious illnesses.
Personally, I am self insured and could meet Kevin's costs, and more, from my rainy day fund. However, if I were to be diagnosed with cancer (again) I would be on the next plane back to the UK to receive free, world class treatment.

Sorry, I have no interest in your remainer propaganda and cherry picking of currency falls.
My Oz pals have lost 33% in the past 3-4 years, I've lost 27% in the past 10 years.
I think that it's you that is cherry picking. Compare your currency since Brexit to the GBP since Brexit.

So you're ignoring the falls of the AUS$, NZ$, CAN$ and Krone, that all fell by more than the UKP for what reason?
CAD/GBP 0.53 at Brexit now 0.59.
NZD/GBP 0.46 at Brexit, now 0.53.
AUD/GBP 0.54 at Brexit now 0.56.
Most currencies have fallen against the Baht. GBP the most.
Check the figures for 6months- 1 year after Brexit, before the THB started to strengthen, much worse.

Very true. The £ dropped by 10% within days of the result being announced. It continued to fall, more or less in line with other currencies and continues to do so. This is because of the artificially strong baht.
However, there's no doubt that the £ has suffered a much more dramatic fall than other currencies. As a wild, and conservative, guess I would estimate that at least 50% of the £'s devaluation is due to Brexit.

Quite agree. No laughing matter. If iran bans exports of pistachio nuts to the UK, it could be war.

Wimbledon, F1, Cricket WC & Womens Footy WC offer recent examples of livestreams that last longer in the same timezone.
True but I enjoy watching any of those. can't say the same about Tommy Islam.
BTW. You didn't mention Le Tour de France. Go Geraint!

Thus if you don't say what you mean how can I understand what you are trying to say?
In common parlance it means white European. I say what I mean. You would understand if you had learned English at school (like wot I did).

Indians are caucasian,it's a commonly known fact.
Anthropologically yes, socially no.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_race
"The Supreme Court in United States v. Bhagat Singh Thind (1923) decided that Asian Indians were ineligible for citizenship because, though deemed "Caucasian" anthropologically, they were not white like European descendants since most laypeople did not consider them to be "white" people."
Caucasian in common parlance today is usually taken as white of European origin.

Seriously I’m really done with this meaningless conversation for real now. It’s a waste of time talking to them. I’ve got better things to do but bottom line Chief Gallagher is NOT GUILTY.Were you there? Did you see what he did? How can you judge him? You don't know what he did or didn't do.

Same same, i went to india to holiday, i made business in india and still do, but hell i am not going there ever again personally.
What's so hard to understand that i absolutely disliked everything i saw? It's a fact. I've never been threatened worse in my life. I never felt more sick and never had worse food poisons, nor did i ever got annoyed more by people touching and trying to sell me stuff.
So that's my opininion and no amount of 300 year old history does change anything about that, i care only about the here and now, about what i personally experienced.
I have observed Indians and their behaviour in India, the UK and here in Thailand. IMO the worst behaved are those who come to Thailand.

A jury isn't normally used in contempt of court cases. It's dealt with entirely by the judge whos court has been contempted.

Quite sickening some of the comments here against the indians which seem to be plainly out of frustration and jealousy from the posters. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
No, entirely based on personal experiences/observation.

What about the supporting evidence he backed it up with? Did he make all that up too?
The supporting evidence was based around rules for journalists. He is not a journalist.
Note that in the video of him being arrested, he not once challenged the police for denying him his rights as a journalist. He's too clever for that, he knows that he would be up for a charge of misrepresenting himself.
