  1. I think it is you who is slow. The BBC has been anti semitic, anti right or even center for decades. They have hidden and covered up some of the worst child sex preditors from Savile, Rolf Harris, Gary Glitter 1970's, 1980's, all the way to 2024 then there is the sculpture at the entrance of the BBC, which advertises their moral bankruptcy (unless your a supporter of Eric Gill).
  2. You obviously have zero knowledge or your morally bankrupt and care nothing for truth. The BBC has done reprehensible blatant lies. From their reporting of Syrian chemical attacks (doctored footage, using child actors, old footage reused). They were caught in a double sting when they tried to set up and tried to bribe someone from Tommy Robinson team to lie about him in the worst kind of lie. They are anti semitic and even anti British using slurs of far right and Natzi when describing normal every day protesters who merely protest because they are scared of what is going on in their communities. I could go on all day but lastly what they did to Donald Trump by splicing a speech to make him look like he was ordering attacks at the capital when infact he was calling for calm. I hope the BBC gets destroyed by this law suit. Maybe you should watch the speech and then watch what the BBC did!!!
  3. Not so many people. If he could run again he would win again even bigger. So he is well loved. He puts his country first and that's how it should be.
  4. Mad, bitter ludicrous and just stupid! First I would agree: tit for tat! Usa should reciprocate the Thai property restrictions of not owning land, all Thai businesses in America should be 51% owned by an American then put 300% luxury tax on all Thai goods like vehicles, even foods etc. America and Europe & UK have been far to soft with "The developing markets", also stop giving Thailand cash (foreign aid). Oh and I forgot protect jobs for Americans....
  5. Oh that pocked a memory! I used to live and dive on Kow Taow, it was a beautiful life in the early 2000's. Sand streets, slow and easy. Then they concreted the roads which totally changed the hart of the island (the murders also). Never went back.
  6. That is the point. It's only, is the next line then maybe 500, it's 100% a scam get rid of her. There are plenty of good women in Thailand but you don't meet them in bars! You don't want to be involved with a girl who is so broke she can't find 2,000baht for an emergency. Once she gets that it will be a little help for rent or even food..... pull at your good nature. Not eaten for days, getting thrown out of apartment then needing money to get her stuff back.... many, many reasons...
  7. Cloud cuckoo land! They have no idea. I did a cost "Thai to UK" back in 2019 and the bottom line was Thailand was far more expensive than UK. The usual quotes like rent, electricity and fuel are whiped out by: health insurance, smaller car and free education. Food is another wild herring! I have yet to see caterpillars crawling out of my cauliflower and have 3 mushrooms costing nearly £2!!!, steak need I say more. Infact food quality is world's apart!@@
  8. Nasty and twisted. With 25 million tourists "so they say" there will be plenty if bad apples. To all those rose coloured glasses wearers, try taking them off and step out of your bubbles. Thai's are very racist even to others Thai's when from different parts of Thailand. Burma, Cambodia even Chinese are not liked and Thai's are very racist of them. Then Black racism, infact all colours to different degrees Thai's are very racist people to all non Thai's. But, ignoring foreigners in shops is quite common but that isn't racism, it is them being shy about their foreign language skills. I've been married to a Thai for 20 years and we have two children. We lived many years in Thailand and also in the uk. Thais are very racist!
  9. The same Rose Coloured glassed can never ever see any one critical of Thailand. I hate the BBC and I love Thailand but it is far from perfect. I have had a gun pulled on me twice. Once simply over parking. Road deaths are enough to cause concern. And yes as someone one here stated prostitution is a pandemic in Thailand to the extent its treated as a way of life. And then there is the chopping and changing of visa rules (the reason we left).
  10. So many people on here with such hatred. How easily people forget he was ousted by a military coup as was his sister and his daughter kicked out for a private conversation trying to de-escalate an incident a military officer caused by signing the Thai national anthem in Cambodia! (See the persecution?). I never liked Taksin but and it is a big but "The military do not take arms up against its population". The people voted for them (except his daughter, who was used to suppress a lawfully elected government that certain people did not want to be in government. Now let us not forget the gdp under Mr T was as high as 14% and life for expats was extreamly good.
  11. Because she pleaded broke, no money! It's so wrong. If she is on benifit then the £2500 should be paid to him with the money being deducted each week/month from her payment. She should not get away with this for a meer £500!
  12. Been with a few of those crazies in my time, just thinking they were Scottish tooooooo!!!
  13. People on here just can't help themselves! My question to the twisted: what have use done for the Thai soldiers on the border? I guess Nothing!!!
  14. Oh dear what a pity! Wasn't a Thai MP calling for the same against Cambodia even promoting buying land mines for 10,000baht each from Cambodian soldiers? Not so nice when the other side does it!!!
