Piers Morgan Slams Trigger Warning on "Wicked" for Green-Skin Discrimination
Fantastic marketing by the film producers. Such a good idea to play up to the world's woke stupidity. They probably predicted some idiots would latch onto it, and those idiots took the bait hook line and sinker. Well done!

Thailand PM Faces Heat Over Flood Response: Husband's Roots Spark Debate Amid Criticism
Good response, totally agree. Cheap shot by her critics.

Edward Snowden May Find Allies in Trump’s New Administration
I personally agree, but I'm confused how this squares away with the right to free speech under the Amendment. But, common sense tells me that he's deeply guilty of what he's been accused of and should get no leniency. Unlike other Federal Law breakers recently in the News.

Bangkok parks
I went there earlier this year, it's a fantastic park. Thanks for sharing, hopefully others can enjoy too. After that, I walked down to Srinagarindra Train Night Market, one of the better night markets I've been to.

Thailand to host 2025 SEA Games and ASEAN Para Games with 2 billion baht budget
Great news for the local economy and for all the athletes who'll participate. I'm sure there'll be some downsides but I'd rather not concentrate on them.

Rent.

Cathay Pacific HK airline slammed over 5-hour Bangkok delay
Let's hope the affected passengers get properly compensated and Cathay investigate and learn lessons.

Controversy Erupts Over Release of Terrorist Linked to Manchester Bomber
Much as it pains me, he has served his full sentence. If he has committed another crime then try him and send him back if guilty. This time for long enough so that it's the Parole Service who decide his release or not; they seem far better to judge the risk to society than the rest of the criminal justice system.

Angela Rayner's Housing Plan 'more difficult than we expected'
Maybe farmers will have to sell their land to the Government to pay for the inheritance tax.

Kamala Will Be Investigated for Campaign Funds Fraud
If she's proven to have broken the law then she deserves the appropriate legal sanction. Same goes for anyone, whoever they are or whatever position they hold.

UNESCO names Suvarnabhumi one of the world's six most beautiful airports
There's so much negativity from some commentators, too many sad news stories and too much Thai or Farang bashing (even though sometimes justified it must be said). So it's great to see a good news story for the image Thailand. Hope it happens more often.

Jeremy Clarkson Joins Farmers' Revolt Against ‘Tractor Tax
Clarkson's Farm is a great insight into farming issues. Supermarkets don't always pay a fair price for goods. If they did supermarket prices may increase, hitting the poorest people in society and increase inflation. That inflation increase could impact businesses through increased wage demands or other costs. AKA, people on both the left and right could be impacted, I don't have a solution by the way! Not sure the status quo is correct though. Not sure what Labour has done is correct either. Classic political dilemma.

Cleared of Murdering Chris Kaba, Officer Sgt Martyn Blake Set for Promotion
Such a complex case. Except, of course, for the fact that he was never guilty of murder.

What happened to all the people who said they are leaving the US if Trump won.
Rubbish. Look at the polls. "The Conservatives hold a 19-point lead over the Liberals". https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/elections/poll-tracker/canada/ Even Kamala couldn't screw that lead up.

Ooh! Maybe that's why the judges chose Thailand? After intensive cultural research? Great that this news story has a happy ending.

Sainsbury's Faces £140 Million Hit from National Insurance Hike, Warns of Rising Inflation
@James105 - totally agree. But... In the latest figures I can see, Sainsburys made a profit of over £500m in a 28-week period. These leeches can well afford this extra tax without passing it on. Disgusting corporate greed. https://www.about.sainsburys.co.uk/news/latest-news/2024/07-11-24-interim-results-for-the-28-weeks-ended-14-september-2024 I'm no labour supporter, but I hope Labour keep an eye on this and put a windfall tax on Sainsburys if Sainsburys cheat their customers using this NI increase as an excuse to fleece their customers in the same way they've done since the pandemic. Or, increase the tax burden on the Sainsburys Board members so that they earn absolutely nothing.

Thai Drinks launches 100m baht campaign to boost local tourism
By my rough calculation, if this investment maintains a 6.1% growth then they'll earn an extra 500 million this coming year, over an above what they've earned in the past year (8.2 billion). A pretty good RoI if it works. Good luck to them!
