Mr Meeseeks

A picture speaks a thousand words. The new Thai PM sitting next to a convicted heroin smuggler.

The asylum scheme is not fit for purpose and is being abused on an industrial scale. It need scrapped immediately.

When Thailand does it, it is seen a positive, rounding up criminals, keeping people safe etc. When Trump does it, unfair, against human rights, racist etc. Can't have it both ways peeps.

Just arguing for arguing sake. He's lost all credibility now.

See my post above: International ban: The 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions prohibits their use, production, transfer, and stockpiling. Over 110 countries are parties, but some major military powers have not signed.

Need to get used to the hatred growing as colonisation of the UK by Third-World parasites replacing the indigenous population continues. A true hate crime and genocide is happening right under our noses. People are standing up to it and calling them racists to silence their views when they oppose and voice an opinion is not going to work anymore.

Higgott has been thrashed on this thread. What an embarrassment he is.

Cluster munitions are some of the nastiest weapons out there. They are highly indiscriminate. This means civilians are at risk if they are within the strike zone. It is impossible to use them "strictly against military targets".

Those cowards wouldn’t put themselves anywhere near danger. They would happily see Thai soldiers die on the border to cover up their own corruption and direct attention away from the myriad of criminal charges they face though. Of that you can be sure. There’s a reason squarehead and Hun Sen were best mates. Birds of a feather.

Allied with the Thais after the Vietnamese kicked them out in 1979. Fought a Guerrilla war from Thailand (Pol Pot protected by Thai SF at his house in Trat) and they laid thousands of mines along the Western border area (at one point the most densely mined area in the World). Bit ironic that. Thailand (and the US) backed the Khmer Rouge as the legitimate government of Cambodia at the UN even after the genocide was exposed.

And Thailand uses cluster munitions. Your point caller?

Once we move to the right, we will only go further right. There's no going back. These weak liberal types are totally unprepared for what is coming.

Yep. Longer range A321s for the ASEAN region would have been the sensible purchase. A few A350 widebodies for more popular routes. Mind you, when you were 600 billion Baht in debt and after some creative accounting all is rosey in the Thai Airways garden again, you expect these decisions to be based on 'what's in it for me' rather than business acumen. See the Rolls-Royce engine purchases for evidence. Was anyone in Thailand prosecuted for that again? They were in the UK. The whole thing is a fiddle.

Pretty much confirms my opinion of these people is correct.

Another step towards the inevitable uprising of the British people.

Hamas and its allies would still want to wipe Israel off the map though.

There are daily protests showing support for Hamas and a Palestinian state in the UK. The PM just announced his intention to recognise the Palestinian State. Should I not fly BA either?

I fly Qatar at least once a month both bus and econ. Occasionally first when I go to Abu Dhabi, or I'm on the older 777s or A380s. You have flown once and had a single bad experience with them? Emirates bus class is good, but I rate Qatar Q-Suites and their new business class on the 787s better. The layout of the old Emirates bus class means some seats don't have direct access to the aisle. Downside to Qatar is there is quite a lot of variation in their business class so you have to know what you are booking on what aircraft. Emirates don't have many codeshare options so having status on Qatar automatically gets you status with other OneWorld airlines.

Qatar is a fantastic country and Doha is an incredible city. What they have managed to build there is remarkable. A clean, efficient, relatively cheap cost-of-living city which would be the envy of any Western country with its spectacular buildings, public transport networks and infrastructure. There's no crime there either. The airport is the best in the World. Some will argue Changi is better, but a regular traveller like me that does lounges and airport things there's none better. Qatar Airways bus class is better than any other bus product I have flown on in the last few years. Miles ahead of Thai Airways, Cathay Pacific, Malaysian Airlines, British Airways and Finnair. And I mean miles ahead and in a different league.

Thailand gives you a non-immigrant visa. They don't want us here in numbers either and certainly not permanently. UK should have exactly the same policies to protect its natives.

They are the World's best airline IMO.

I said this on other threads and was pelted with dislikes. Och well.

Hun Sen has already sold his soul to the Devil for money. Nothing would surprise me from him. Thaksin (and by extension his daughter and his party) needs this distraction and the border land dispute has been used before several times by Thai governments in trouble notably in 2008 after the judicial coup and in 2011. The reaffirmation of the ICJ ruling in 2013 led to the Thai troop withdrawal. Yet here we are again, history repeating itself.

Thailand already profited massively from the scam call centres and in the 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s Bangkok was the hub. All the big bars on Sukhumvit were built on Boiler Room money. Millions stolen from British and Aussie pensioners. Perpetrated by Aussies, Brits and Yanks who were never properly punished as they paid off, and thus were protected by the Thai authorities.

The Khmer temples along the border are a great source of Cambodian national pride. Sam Rainsy is embittered because he can't return to Cambodia as he will be arrested. Take anything he says with a very large pinch of salt. This has all been stirred up because Thaksin is facing probes into his fake illnesses, his family's dealings with Hun Sen and the LM charges against him. He's losing his grip on power. He needs this for all that to go away. Wouldn't be surprised if Hun Sen was playing along for his good mate.
