the history of the USA is mired in racial controversy,its a sad fact but it really is a problem that they must sort out both black and white.police there are armed and aggressive but against all groups from what ive seen,black men commit crime far out of proportion to their nos unfortunately so thats an issue they must face up to as well.of course most are law abiding.so its a complex issue.the availability of guns is another US problem,we in UK and europe dont have these problems and its not for us to become involved especially in the way its transpired in the last few weeks,radical groups have hi jacked an american issue,its bizarre dangerous and has deeply offended and insulted many people,the churchill statue incident but one,this type of behaviour causes so much damage to relations between different groups that it could create a serious divide not heal it.we see freedom of speech threatened and disturbing scenes in reading and the reaction to it from govt and other groups.i suggest we step back from the abyss as radical groups are using this as an opportunity to throw us into it.respect all lives should be the mantra.the ones in reading too they were the victims of a racist.

Africans sold Africans to Americans/Europeans. It ended up being a huge business!

The original slaves who were sold were murderers, thieves, rapists etc who were being held captive anyway. 

One more thing, do people really think that these Africans were having a jolly old time in Africa sitting round campfires eating wild boar and getting high??

Africa was and is still now full of feuding tribes who can never come together and create harmonious countries

This is why countries like England progressed so quickly

We built a country with common goals and a consent to rule, by the people and for the people

Only two short civil wars in 1000 years shows the difference between us

The way things are going, black lives are going to become extinct

13% could become 3% if they carry on like they are in America

So they say...

Reading the news, some killed just for the sake of it, or the colour of their skin. A typical case of the pot calling the kettle black!

 

Utter BS

Name the last journalist or activist that was killed by the UK/US govt

Also let us congratulate the other highly successful nations like Lesotho and Nigeria, whose even lower Covid19 figures are the result of even less testing.

 

Well done.

Two more totally transparent countries

N Korea has outdone everybody though, that last bastion of truth and integrity

Thailand thanked Kim Yong Wrong and Winnie the Flu for advice on how to mute dissidents during a pandemic

''...don't believe the numbers..."

 

A few days ago I was talking to 2 Thai uni professor buddies,  they raised this point and both said initially they didn't believe the case numbers, new infections, hospitalized, deaths, etc.

 

They both also mentioned that all of these numbers have remained without query for many weeks, and if they were untrue by now somebody would have discovered they were false and it would have reached the media quickly. 

There is only state media in Thailand, and journalism, along with actual journalists died a long time ago

I think if most of the forum members took a knee, they would never get back up????

It was truly embarrassing to see drunkard Pelosi and her fellow decrepit sycophants take the knee.

They all had to be dragged up afterwards as they hadn't got the strength to get back up; looked so weak

I don't know how much beer costs in a bar in Thailand but it seems cheap enough in a supermarket, not the same ambience as a bar I grant you but if needs absolutely must.

 

And anyone who comes to Thailand to eat hot dogs must surely have missed the point and deserves to pay however much they are charged. Thai food in food courts, some surprisingly high quality food, is certainly cheap enough, even here in Bangkok.

 

And if cost effective riding is your thing, bring a bike with you, many people do!!

I find Thai food courts about the most depressing places to eat.

I could count on one hand that amount of times I've eaten in them.

Give me an open air restaurant and a bit of people watching any day

Tourism is important to Thailand. The impression of safety is important. Perfectly adequate, may be perfect adequate for you. But it's not about you...

Safety.... Thailand, don't make laugh

  It doesn't mention whether farangs married to Thais would have to do the 14 day quarantine or not .

Jeez it's not a death sentence by any means, what are the govt trying to prove?

The fear in Thailand is ridiculous 

Countries are functioning perfectly adequately with thousands of infected people.

Interesting to see how life played out in the Central Hill Autonomous Zone (aka Soy-malia) over in Seattle. It gives a major hint of what is in store for us. There the left won the battle after their weak mayors and police surrendered and have set up a seperate country in the heart of Seattle. Can't be far from Khan advocating such a move for London. Anyway within a week the Soymalians have heavily armed warlords in charge, racial segregation happening - I see a sign that says Black or native Americans only in one area, extortion of businesses, and a long list of free stuff they need from the evil capitalists outside their zone to survive. It is not looking better, safer and more inclusive than our democratic capitalism.

 

Some really funny videos on twitter from CHAZ! Mind boggling stuff

The guy running around naked shouting an earthquake is coming & some other biblical nonsense was comedy gold

In the 2019 election 510 people voted British National Party

That stat alone tells you all you need to know about the so called "far right" in the UK

Men defending Churchill's statue from literally nobody while giving nazi salutes and attacking police officers - you couldn't make it up. 

There were no nazi salutes. They are football chants , people raise both hands for certain songs

So you think it was closed down for nothing?

There would hardly be a restaurant open if they were all checked for filth
