  1. The cop was literally being chocked. The guy most likely intoxicated and who knows what else ... you expect the cop just to calm him down when he lets go, shake hands and walk off? In America the guy would have been shot. Here the police guy had to restrain him incase he kicked off again. You can see the Benidorm Brits sticking up for the guy here - this is the behaviour they would applaud. Can only wish an end to marijuana laws, so the Benidorm lot (and mules) can go back to their Bendorms, Magaluf and Ibizas and trash those places instead.
  2. Why didn't Britain and France just keep these areas for the oil. Or was it not discovered back then? Expensive mistake.
  3. Trump had alot of support from his Maga base, who had no real affiliation with Isreal. Just curious as to why is he happy to go along with anything they do ? He is probably one president who could have stood up to them had he wished. Obama probably felt pressure to conform as the first black president to not rock the boat. And Biden was simply useless.
  4. No. It's just taking curbs on speech we have in the country, and putting that to social media. At the moment you can have children and everyone in the UK, exposed to anti semtisim or islamaphobia from someone posting in a country like India. This is where you need the crackdown on social media companies.
  5. Idiots. There was no imminenent danger from Iran. If there was a long term plan then oil supplies should have been secured before this war. But nahh ... total buffoons.
  6. If they have laws for the Jewish community, then i see no problem why not have laws for the muslim community. An easier way would be to crack down on social media - as this is where the masses are getting their mis information from.
  7. Ironically the residents in Magaluf have hit back hard at bad behviour from tourists - usually Brits there too.
  8. Drugs are all over the place unfortunately. Someone is getting very rich from all this.
  9. Cheap trash tourists. Thailand welcomes cheapos for some reason. I put my money on Benidorm Brits.
  10. Still no criminal record check for long term visas. I am astonished at the number of scams some of the people in thailand i know have gone through.
  11. He's probably on a long term visa too. Lives there. No criminal record checks. Open borders. Total cesspitt, wrecked Thailand.
  12. Two years ago once the new leadership came into place, they eased all border rules, allowed longer stays with very few checks and balances (Critically no criminal record check). Whenever police went hard at criminals there would be panic it would effect tourism, so police in essence just step back. The marijuana decriminalisation has meant trash druggies have started to visit Thailand. As a result more quality tourists, seeking safety have gone to other destinations like Vietnam where safety is paramount). It's become a cess pitt. But property moguls are benefiing but at the expense of thai culture.
  13. Money's on a Benidorm Brit. Cheapos flooding Thailand. Until Thai authorities crack down on toursits visiting without money then this will continue.
  14. You didn't see these types of Brits in Thailand before covid. What changed ? Wrecked.
  15. That's pretty much Harley Street London prices.
  16. Utter nonsense. Claim on his insurance for this missed flight, and just book another flight. He had insurance hopefully.
  17. Trump can sometimes be really thick at times. It's been explained to him many times that Spain, France, and even Germany do not have seperate trade deals with the USA. The USA has a trade deal with the European Union (which Spain is a member off). Trump cannot selectively put tarrifs on any one single country in the EU - he would have to put in on the whole block. Trump cannot stop companies in the US buying Spanish products, eg the top export is olive oil. This is why it is imperative in this day and age with America being no neighbours of Europe, for the UK to get into the EU for protection.
  18. How can you ride over the ropes ? They are usually quite sturdy and above the water.
  19. They need to adopt a congestion zone or operate more pedestraian free zones. I was sittiing in Soi Bukhao the other week, open air bar, and the sheer amount of traffic infront of me, the pollution, vehicles, noise from bikes, then compound it off having to walk in that meant a disgusting experience. Never again
  20. Thai barbers on a whole are dreadful. Reason being firstly Thai heads are a different shap to western heads, so they tend to leave it far too thick and bushy. Secondly, their training has been bought up on giving a Chinese style cut - if you know you know.
  21. Heavily drunk at 11am ?!!? The article doesn't make much sense ... how did the Jetski rider get under the ropes to where the swimmer was ? That's impossible. Was the swimmer in the actual swimming zone or outside? The above photo looks like she was on the other side ... but maybe it's just a reversed pic. And why on earth would you be swimming in that polluted filth hole of a sea there?
  22. Money talks. You just pay a regime a large amount of money, tell them you will keep them in power and all the luxuries that will bring. It's funny how ideaologies change quickly then. Go look at the Syrian leader.
  23. They're just going to put a puppet in charge like they have in all other middle eastern countries. China does the same around the Asia.
  24. Ex British influencers and tax dodgers trying to flee Dubai need to go to the nearest safe country to UAE to claim asylum. The UK should not be bringing them back or putting up flights for them.
