a lot of things just dont add up.cambodia and laos,health systems with low nos -well good luck with that,dictatorships  and a lack of real info.they have that in common for sure.the big one- ZERO testing,hospital by me wants 6400B a test .absurd is the politest word,all agencies say testing is the key so if u test u will see the extent of the problem or the lack of it,who has it and to what extent.the govt allowed chinese in here come what may so that doesnt add up either.the PRC govt were the ones who stopped them coming really not this end!!now theyve screwed up the economy.no ones been helped out at a business level,no money they say .spent it all on arms,chinese tek and trains!thats another question for another day ,the inability to open up the economy has cost most a great deal .hotels up for sale in large nos, massive unemployment,masses of condos still being built,who will buy them the thais most certainly not and if no one is allowed in......,and and and,let people move about in the region where its contained,s korea,hk taiwan singapore philippines malaysia japan are good candidates.test the people when they arrive,stay in their hotel room till they get the result and then life goes on,this is madness,countries in europe are opening up now its passed,greece italy  france spain etc.the nos show for people under 64 the chances are less than a traffic accident....in europe not here!!!so the odds are pretty good!!get on with it or how long ?till no cases anywhere .thats forever,the apathy of the culture,terror of authority and inability to ask questions is why the army govt has been able to get away with this.if we look at the region its the same mould everywhere,dictatorships-camb,laos,burma,singapore,hk,china,philippines.its only s korea and taiwan that stand as functional democracies.the real damage is apparent as this isnt a balanced economy,itll get worse.some of the sheer guff spoken about tourism is beyond the pale,hi spending rich hi so people oh please,they go to classy places to spend their money,europe is cultured and articulate,paris milan florence greek islands etc,all at the same price as here or cheaper and hassle free,its hardly an articulate culture,xenophobic unwelcoming and renowned for rip offs and being difficult.lets be honest just for a moment why would cultured super rich come here!!??the self delusion is  truly......amazing!

more of the same from china as it continues its aggressive push....everywhere.it was an ambush,china stated it had no captives and..... india this week is in a group of several other nations being bullied.oz and canada come to mind.hk as well.not bad for just 1 week. those 3 plus the USA if they boycott china goods we could see the great wall crumbling down,beats a war and achieves the objective,come on europe as you wont be getting any covid compo!

personally this whole rewriting of history has gone awry.slavery has been with us from the first instance we became agricultural societies perhaps before that,its not colour based and the arabs were first into the african slave trade and last out,slavery wasnt deleted from the statute book in arabia till the 1960s,ottoman turk slave mkts the largest in the world in modern times.african chiefs sold their own people.if we go back further it was common in europe till the early middle ages. as mentioned greece rome egypt persia zulu ashanti china empires all practised it and many more.mostly all in real truth.let he without sin caste the 1st stone!umm not much flying about in all honesty.we cant pick on one single aspect of the slave trade,the atlantic but not african/arab one or mediterranean one as that itself is an expression of racism.we all need to look in the mirror learn something and move on -african arab european and oriental.its getting sordid now as low lifes scramable in the dust for coin.very marcus garvey like or jacob and  the pieces of silver.

i wonder what super immunity is bestowed upon the travelling businessman originating in northern asian climes?its obvious none what so ever.its banal at the least,also how is it decided which country is allowed in? the figs ive seen suggest most ASEAN countries are able to qualify with the exception perhaps of indonesia,[myanmar/laos too where the figs just arnt available] . hk, taiwan, s korea australia and nz too have low nos and are suitable applicants,japan has a similar death rate to the philippines so why is it  singled out?money and large investment foot print here obviously but the pedigree is based on covid not cash!the economy is in a bad way it needs to be put on the rails again and common sense applications can minimise problems,IE a test on arrival for minimal cost,wearing of masks ,no quarantine too.a minimum stay of 2 weeks.no covid ins bought overseas its not available readily. it could be signed up for on arrival too for 500B and cover you to a million baht.take the test pay the insurance and off you go.1000B thank you.this constant bilking with a racist bent is one thai product no one appreciates.take precautions and move on ,western europe has.the destruction of assets businesses and peoples livelihoods is unacceptable and the fact is the govt has done almost nothing to support people.it cant continue much longer.as we have seen before soldiers pretending to be elected civilian administrations doesnt stand up.lets pick up the pieces and move on .all the tosh about super spenders etc is exactly that.PRC tourists spend money but its in a closed environment that serves chinese business not international or thai ones.so theres another false economic wild goose chase.respect yourself and others equally this mantra serves well

we were told yesterday that 60% in northern italy had antibodies and WHO said that asymptomatic carriers are NOT infectious.so..........2 massive game changers .how can any type of lockdown be justified?perhaps its about control and letting people know that.we do not have an elected entity running the show and it shows,regional travel needs to be allowed as many people have important and pressing issues to attend to.the cuffs need to come off very shortly and the economy needs to work ,forcing penury and poverty on people in these circumstances is .....well absurd and the fact is china is first back thru the door tells us many things,they that lie ,they that cause this hardship are rewarded,they that threaten and cajole the region.excuse me whilst i vomit.

its about time people were treated with respect.some people here complain about the racist attutudes they encounter here,discrimination is discrimination and this is but another form

its a somewhat complicated history but in the pics we see students who are not bristolians bossing the agenda.also the mayor is of jamaican background living in the UK,he may be somewhat offended but if the trade had not happened he would be back in west africa and yes good luck with that!theres no mention of the fact the african slave trade has a long history.arabs were the first and last on that ,parts of nigeria were an arab caliphate until britain invaded to expel them and the slave trade.they had other reasons too for sure but they did that.dublin was the biggest slave mkt in europe,no black slaves only white and run by vikings,rome egypt greece and so on ,enlightened empires the persian too.in modern times the damascus slave mkt the largest in the world run in ottoman times,it contained many black and white slaves,the janissaries were chldren taken young from subject races[many greeks] as a tax and the girls well in modern parlance sex slaves or bought for the harems of rich arabs,mostly from southern russia where the women are still known for their beauty ,that ended when britain and france defeated and collapsed that empire in ww1.its part of the human condition,it carries on to some extent today in africa and asia,lets not forget africans held slaves .the ashanti were a slave holding empire and they firstly sold slaves to the portugese,it was tribal chiefs that sold their people onto arab slavers until very recent times.dr livingstone died trying to stop that trade.its our history,britain was the power that collapsed the atlantic slave trade 1809.etc.but we must understand history and deal with it,what is not acceptable in liberal west was less than a 100 yrs ago de rigeur in many parts of the world.slavery was part of trade world wide at that time,sarawak , to the slavers of the muslim southern philippines.close indeed it was rajah brooke ended that.everyone was not middle class undereducated and rich in those days!!as is the case today,we dont see these students rallying outside the saudi embassy where slavery was on the statute book till 1960!!or the feminists outside the indian and pakistani embassies,we see self importance virtue signalling and massive massive hypocrisy in the west and the brits as opinionated judgemental know it alls do it better than anyone.

its a strange phenomenon in UK.the police have been harassing people in parks sunbathing etc yet in the case of these demos when people have been attacked in the street .police took no action.a double standard and quite disturbing.the situation in the UK is very different to USA,i have spent time in the USA in IMO the US police are armed and aggressive,towards most groups,blacks hispanic and poor whites.this is indelibly branded in to the DNA of these forces and will be hard to stamp out the john wayne swagger,it does not apply in europe to police or society in general

it would appear that even with the govt avoiding widespread testing the levels of virus are extremely low in the region.the economy is stunted the govt seems paralysed in some aspects of opening up and peoples incomes are declining and businesses failing.masks are generally worn by most people and hand washings widespread too,it appears effective.as for foreign tourists we go from one extreme to the other,no matter what ,the govt was allowing millions of PRC tourists in and in the end it took china to end it.now they are not allowing anyone in but im sure the first will be the original infectors!so many countries close by are clear ,vietnam hk ,taiwan,japan,s korea philippines malaysia,singapore .these countries can surely come and go by mid june.im seperated from my fiancee and many others from wives etc,we cant get them in or leave ,its frustrating given the fact asia by and large has defeated the problem,so why are we stuck at this impasse?well many of these govts are authoritarian.simple as that .even europes opening up for tourism,it will be possible for a singaporean japanese hk er etc to go to greece or spain but not visit here,credit that?it is possible to allow travel shortly,another few weeks and the virus is gone in the region.the above mentioned countries should be allowed to travel but not china as theyve shown they lied and thats not changed.this deceit resulting in death and poverty should not be rewarded.they even blamed africans for it in china.lets move forward using intelligence and get our economy,lives and people moving in the start of july

,i was in the east and beaches were closed restaurants and hotels idle as they wouldnt open the beaches ,absurd so what do people do these tourists?this was rayong.beyond belief.ohhh those golden goose stranglers....again,we have so little virus here vietnam,philippines, malaysia, hk taiwan etc.get on with it,open to these virus free countries in the region too.USA UK no  but the economy is so fragile poverty stalks the people ,businesses are on the edge of the precipice.decisions ,make them and now.the impotence will kill far more effectievly than the virus 55 dead in 4 mnths plus amongst 68 million well thats answer enough.lunacy.

covid has been a boon to authoritarian govs the world over,more power and less responsibility for abuses.look at dutarte,the so called democracies too but more like mass incompetence see eu and uk.singapore too somewhat suprisingly .the problem is no matter how badly they perform or rediculous the legislation they come out with they continue to tell us what to do even though they arnnt qualified at any level,they will not be held accountable and will continue to award themselves gold plated pensions that we pay for and we will pick up the tab for their momentous economic cockups.across the world the voting populace must make these goons pay the price when and if we are ever allowed out again.here theres no democratic process and the economy is fragile in nature and its been bombed .get it moving again and the airports open ,testing is almost unheard of.why?they wont spend the money cheap tests are available now get on with it.tourism is 30% of the econ one way or another so open to countries with low counts,temps and tests on arrival.500b and get hotels and restaurants open mid june.the no of deaths is miniscule in comparison to traffic deaths and respiratory disease deaths ,start to think

we see this type of thing happen often,the thai authorities must deport people who behave in this manner or similar fashions.this isnt the first time ive seen or heard of such things.ometimes they can bribe their way out of it but always they appear again and create more problems,also the new airport protocol,surely they can downlooad the crim records of offenders so they dont enter,this is standard pracice acroos eu,uk,aus/nz,usa etc
