For one, it would be interesting to know what caused his bruises.
Even the locals are wondering. From the OP:
Both bodies were sent to Thalang Hospital for post-mortem examinations to determine the exact causes of death.
“It is believed that one of them was swept away by a wave, and when the other attempted to help, they too were struck and drowned. However, we are still investigating the exact cause of death.”
Edit: Or did I miss the CCTV video showing them getting into the water?
Which won't add anything. The guy is dead, leave him be.

What do you think Biden is doing? Giving Iran billions of dollars, helping them get the atomic bomb. Trump had them in a box with money reserves of only $4 billion when he left office. Now under Biden they have $200 billion mostly from the sale of oil to China. At the same time Biden is not allowing weapons and ammo to Israel that they already paid American companies to make and ship to them. Biden and Blinken - bad for America.
Bs. Trump cancelled the deal that prevented Iran from developing an atomic weapon.
Biden is allowing weapons to Israel.

Lol, the propoganda against the report is strong. I love how words are put in 50 font and bolded. No bias from anyone posting in this thread multiple times.
It's pretty clear all these journals have to say things like "preliminary" "possible" and " the vaccine has still been shown to be effective" otherwise the journals would not publish the data as many doctors have spoken out about. It's a shame such censorship exists, even in journals.
Let me correct your post.
"the arguments against the report are strong".

Here is some further details of the Boeing alert. Seems that the pilots manual did not include details of new LRD technology (load reduction device) on the LEAP (leading edge aviation propulsion) engine, made by CFM International. The LEAP engine is used by both Boeing and Airbus A320.Following the Boeing notice, the airline’s manuals were revised, to ensure pilots follow the current checklist in this type of incident.
Yes, an update so pilots use the correct procedure, as pilots did in the 2 cases mentioned.
That won't change 'a bird strike may cause the cabin to fill with smoke '.

The Scottish chant isn't funny, it's revolting. "Lizzie's in a box". Think about that for a moment. How do you think it makes her children and grand children feel. The nation that loved her. It's a horrendous song, chanted by English hating Scottish nationalist hooligans. Fortunately they'll be eliminated from the tournament soon, and they can go back to supporting England's opponents like did in the days before the tournament was expanded enough to allow pub teams to qualify.
So you're worried about the feelings of Liz's children but not about the Germans.
Mocking the Germans is ok, mocking the English isn't.
The Scottish chanting is repulsive, the English chanting funny.
Hypocritical.

Maybe you should check the lyrics.
It's about the RAF defending the country by shooting down German bombers (Nazis) during WW2.
Not very PC in today's Woke dystopia I grant you, but celebrating defeating the invading Nazis is a millions miles from celebrating the death of an old lady who served her country for 70 years, as the Scottish fans did.
Maybe you should check how it is perceived in the host country. Even The Telegraph admits it is at best mocking.

Celebrating the skill and bravery of the pilots, many of whom gave their lives for their country and ensured the freedom and liberty of their countrymen, while not really appropriate for a football game, is a million miles away from celebrating the death of an old lady who served her country with dignity for 70 years.
"Defeating the Nazis in WW2 was a great achievement, one that saved the lives of millions and halted the suffering of many more millions."
But that's not what the song is about.
Neither is it about "Celebrating the skill and bravery of the pilots".

Scottish nationalists have never been known for their benevolence or intellect. I guess when you have the corrupt SNP pumping out hate towards England, sorry I mean "Westminster" for so long it eventually becomes ingrained in the lower echelons of society.
Fortunately they're rubbish at football so they'll be back on the plane to the land of deep fried mars bars and Irn Bru after their next game.
Personally I find the chanting of the English fans worse in this case. Why do you gloss that over?

Reminds me of a story that came out in the 1970’s about the then Dutch queen Juliana. It turned out that for decades, she had been systematically underpaying her servants, as she firmly believed that it was ‘an honor’ for them to work for her, so she had every right to pay them less than minimum wage.
It was not as if she couldn’t afford to pay them a decent wage, though, since the Dutch royal family was/is quite rich. Just goes to show in what kind of world many of these rich and entitled people live.
Any sources for this? I can't find any

Good news. And good luck getting the justice department to impose 24 billion fine. If the FAA had ability to take preventative action in doing their work maybe these crashes would not have happened. https://www.oig.dot.gov/library-item/39435
The FAA was too close up with Boeing. I see a major part of Boeing 's defense being ' the FAA was monitoring everything we did and allowed it'.

Yeah, let's use this to bash the Brits!!!
More likely the Indian/Hindu caste system has been ingrained in the family for centuries, where it is perfectly acceptable to treat those of a lower caste with utter disdain.
Let's blame the Brits for many British Muslims forcing their women to wear the Hijab while we're at it. Or for their intolerance of homosexuality. For their antisemitism. Yeah, those terrible traditional British values!!!
It's normal that when you bring other cultures to Britain, you bring the bad as well as the good. The only thing you can blame the Brits for is allowing immigration to get out of hand.
So this is about British immigrants wearing a hijab.

The Brexit party voters won with a majority of the votes cast and the Brexit negotiations were left with the government at the time to get the best deal for the UK that they could.
That they didn't get the best deal was nothing to do with Farage but down to the skills, (or lack of skills) of the people sent to do the job. The final decision was down to whichever PM it was at the time and to the cabinet. AFAIR the British people were not given a choice, other than like it or lump it.
Could Farage have done it better or differently? Perhaps or perhaps not, and that is something that nobody will ever know for sure.
quote from your post.
'What should/ can the UK have done differently?' I have posed this question many times but have not, as yet, received an answer.
If the UK had used a different tactic or different people, maybe we could have had a different result.
If the EU had used a different tactic or different people, maybe we could have had a different result.
The problem is that if one side changes, the other side will react differently.
The UK wanted the best result for the UK and the EU wanted the best result for the EU. But was their goal the same?
"That they didn't get the best deal was nothing to do with Farage but down to the skills, (or lack of skills) of the people sent to do the ,job".
Disagree with that. They got the best deal possible, but the whole idea was bad. Nothing better could be made of it

She left her keys in the bike so it was bound to be stolen by someone. At least the police can begin checking with immigration photos to try to find the man although they may never find the bike. Sad for the lady but irresponsible to walk away from your motorcycle leaving the keys in the ignition.
Let me correct that for you.
"No-one seems to have noticed the fact that if her bike was stolen by a Thai, it never would have made the English language news."

That's the difference between approved, aka reliable, sources and unapproved, aka unreliable, sources.

Is lying and exaggerating about immigrants, blaming them of something that is not their fault, accusing them of doing something they do not do and not accepting they fill jobs Brits don't want to do not bring discriminatory?
As for 2 teir pricing. Legal migrants pay £1065 per year as an NHS surcharge. That is, if working, on top of Tax and NI. That's alot, when considering expats in Thailand moan when they need to get a bit of health insurance to get a visa
And don't forget the many posts from expats stating they'll return to the UK when needed for health reasons due to free care .
