If Putin thought he would get away with it he would go into the Baltic Countries in a flash.

Rather unfortunately (and inconvenient for his argument), the majority of the time he had the use of this penthouse was after the GCSEs had ended!

Quite astonishing, but somehow not surprising. I hope that this is quashed.

Anutin: I live in Chiang Rai, it has been an absolute disaster. Thousands of homes and businesses have been wrecked. People, very many people, ( including my daughter, and several of her friends) have lost virtually everything.

If it means he will no longer appear in this deeply unpleasant suit, it can only be a good thing. Needs to have a word with the chap who polished his shoes as well... 🙂

Shoplifting (theft) is a crime. The laws to prosecute it exist. Assault on a shop worker is fully covered by the laws on assault. It is a crime. The laws to prosecute it exist. Riding illegal motorcycles on the roads is a crime. The laws to prosecute it already exist. The Police need to enforce the existing laws. If, as they will no doubt claim, they do not have the resources to enforce them, then introducing a whole new tier ( sorry, but it is the word, for some reason, which springs to mind) of offences, court orders and supervision with the associated bureaucracy and further demand on resources, is not going to help at all! And, as has been pointed out, it will give the Police much more lassitude in deciding who, individuals or groups, to target, and for what. Given the current lack of confidence in our policing, driven by a very real perception that different groups in our society are policed rather differently, it is unlikely to end well.

It will need a committee perhaps several committees, and experts to implement it. Committee's have budgets, and budgets bring all sorts of opportunities...

I was rather thinking of something more along these lines: https://youtu.be/85dQQw1hsuM?si=CUnmotzLG43DrSI0

I don't wish to be pedantic, but I don't think he claimed to be greater than Elvis - he obviously retains some little sense of perspective! No I think that his claims were that the crowds at his rallies were bigger than those attracted by Elvis. Size does seem to be central to understanding Trumps psyche, and as I have suggested before, perhaps we should call upon Ms Stormy Daniels to act as an independent arbiter of these claims, she does after all have some experience in assessing and describing size where Donald J Trump is involved!

Food for thought. There are some differences, Lebanon had a large Palestinian "refugee" community which undermined the integrity of the country, and maintained their own armed forces within the country. Hezbollah (a militia and political movement essentially controlled and organised by Iran) has effectively taken over the country, and really functions as its government, certainly is the real power; what the Iranian regime says goes. At present the Christian minority is (barely) tolerated. It is not impossible to imagine that they will in time (soon) be persecuted and expelled. Now at present we don't have that sort of foreign powerbase operating in Britain, although there are, perhaps, some early indications that one is trying to form. Within Europe France is perhaps, a little bit further down that road. Nonetheless food for thought.

You were lucky! Our road... No I mustn't, really mustn't! Our non British colleagues won't have a clue what we're on about!

You stirring so and so!

Given the opportunity..

That may actually be a good thing as far as democracy in the UK is concerned. An Islamic Party would have to "stand alone" and would not be able, as they arguably do now, to "piggyback" on the traditional Labour vote and resources; yet have no interest in representing the majority of their constituents.

In itself something of a word salad, is It not?

"Now listen very carefully, I shall only say this once!"

The truth is to be found in dank places under flat stones, eh?

He rarely manages a coherent sentence in his only language!

Yes, perhaps I should have said that the new "fraternity" was separate, and supercedes the two long existing rival factions?

A profound and thoughtful dissection of the key influences within the USA Presidential Election Campaign! Julius Streicher would have been proud of you!

I wonder how much longer this sort of interference in the electoral process is going to be tolerated? A rhetorical question really, after all "vote harvesting" by the heads of extended families is a long held tradition in many of these communities, and goes virtually unchallenged. Enriching though isn't it!

There is a relatively new " fraternity" amongst the officer corps, which is being appointed to many of the top jobs. They have a very specific loyalty. They wear a distinctive red rim around the collar of their tee shirts.

Umh, if you read @Eric Loh's post carefully you would see that "White Supremacy" is listed as amongst the things she is "anti"

Wandering what will be next to explode, the TV, the Air Conditioning, the Microwave, the Laptop?

As happened when the Supreme Court put Bush in The White House. As happened when the Electoral College put Trump in The White House. This time they will attempt to "run out" the deadlines so that the election "fails", and the outgoing House of Representatives and/or the Supreme Court put Trump in The White House.
