Speaking the truth is now a risky business in Britain
Now for the parts that were left out. Damon Joshua was dismissed by Severn Trent Water after he described Hamas as “a group of violent and disgusting terrorists” in a post on the company’s staff intranet website on the anniversary of the attack. The post was taken down by managers at the company following internal complaints that “the terminology being used includes very derogatory words” and “is very one-sided”. According to documents seen by The Telegraph, one complainant said: “The post reflects poorly on Severn Trent’s reputation as a diverse and inclusive company.” What he wrote was "“I can say with confidence today that the vast majority of STW’s employees stand in solidarity with our Jewish, Israeli and Zionist colleagues against the evil of Islamist terror.”" Zionist colleagues 😊 That's offensive and meant to be so. But no mention of that here at all. Only the emphasis on different words that likely had little or no basis in his removal. “They didn’t really give an opinion on what I’d wrote. They just said that it was seen as offensive.” Mr Joshua says he made the post following messages to managers asking if they would do anything to commemorate the anniversary of the attacks, to which he says he received no reply. At his disciplinary hearing he was told that the post had caused “significant offence” to three members of staff who complained about it. They also raised concerns that “the wording in the post explicitly suggests support of a particular geopolitical stance”. They told Mr Joshua his claim that the majority of STW staff supported Israel “creates exclusion and assumptions of solidarity”. In other words he made unsubstantiated claims using the companies property. If he posted it on social media, he might have gotten away with it. But posting it on company property.....he's an idiot and now he knows it. But here is another salient fact that is being left out of this propaganda. From Severn Water: “The allegations in the Telegraph are not the whole story nor is this an isolated incident. This relates to the conduct of an individual who posted highly charged content on a range of topics from gender to sexuality to race in an online work platform – having previously been warned this was not the appropriate forum to do so". https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/03/23/i-condemned-the-oct-7-massacre-cost-me-job-severn-water/

@johng ass-u-me-ed or ass-u-me-d? 2 and 2 is 22. Perhaps you meant 2 + 2. Better to just write clearly and concisely. No games necessary.

No, @johng The issue is that you gave him the address of pb.org instead of https://thepiratebay.org/index.html in the first instance. That took him to a completely unrelated website. They don't need https://transmissionbt.com/

Can you be a leftist without also supporting terrorists and criminals?
Are you a leftist if you support the actions of Benjamin Netanyahu? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_of_Benjamin_Netanyahu https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/netanyahu-corruption-trial-divides-israeli-public-2024-12-09/ Or are some criminals exempt?

Indeed, they look like something far worse.

Whereas the foreigners see it the other way around. The Asian woman often looks in decent shape and probably fairly okay looking, but she is walking with some ogre.

Please stop....the point is 500 baht. If a foreigner is unable to afford the surcharge for a hospital in a particular location, he now knows to go to another that does not charge that fee. 500 baht doesn't make it unaffordable to most expats and tourists and it's you, not the other foreigner posting it here and claiming that it is not affordable.

What you mean is that you are not at all discerning. Up to you. Eat as much crud as you like. It's your body.

Or just throw it away and buy real butter. You have perhaps confused that product with the one sold in Australia.

Yes, it is. But not local to you.

They have Westgold 250g in a local supermarket in Thailand for 80 baht. Special offer of course. Half priced allegedly.

Perhaps you failed to understand anything at all. Let's go back. You told an anecdote about a particular hospital that charges foreigners 500 baht. My advice was to avoid that particular hospital if you cannot afford the 500 baht. Is that too difficult for you? It seems that you are just searching for a way to complain about something. Pattaya City Hospital is not the only choice in town. You aren't forced to go there. But if it's the closest to where you live, then you can choose to pay 500 baht for the convenience or simply go further afield. Not everyone lives on Soi Bua Khao. It's not a Thailand thing. It's you. @BritManToo pays 50 baht. I don't remember paying any premium when I chose to visit a government hospital and I rarely go anywhere early in the morning. So the oft spoken untruth about having to go early in the morning and to wait all day, has not ever applied to any of my visits. Good service and not expensive. Some people are prone to making problems for themselves.

But you paid for that with taxes and such. You didn't in Thailand.- Has Thailand Long Surpassed the West in Terms of Quality of Life?
So? Is 500 baht too rich for your blood? Is that not affordable? They charge a premium to foreigners. If you cannot afford it, go elsewhere. It's a city centre hospital. Move away from the centre and you won't need to pay a premium. How much to see a doctor in your home country?- Best deals for pre-paid sims for data.
You can get the same SIM from MBK if you can get there more easily. Tree Mobile have it. https://www.tree-mobile.com/product/dtac-turbox100- Best deals for pre-paid sims for data.
They have a DTAC SIM.- Thai women vs "Western" women...
I think it a bit strange that you've put so much thought into it. It's like you are really there, imagining that she didn't wipe first. Have you ever had children? One boil washes certain items. You have an unpleasant imagination.- Switching to Internet
27 baht x 12 equals 324 baht. Which 12 month SIM are you recommending as an alternative to that?- Switching to Internet
4G or 4G+. There's no speed cap, so you'll get whatever speed you can get in your location with whatever phone you are using. Don't worry about that.- Which laptop (CPU) is better.
