  1. Right, if anybody is a fuhrer it is Starmer. Abolishing what has been a right for the last 810 years. By comparison we have only had universal suffrage for 107 years.
  2. What I find sickening isn't the attacks on Reform per se it is the complete denial from Labour/Conservatives that they are perfect. Labour now wish to take away the right to a jury trial for nearly all cases, a right we have had since 1215. And it is not juries that are causing the chronic delays to the legal system. Just using that as an excuse to further erode our rights. What next, abolish elections?
  3. My half Thai son was constantly referred to as a 5l1tty eyed ch1nk. What kid hasn't been abused at school. Does that make it right, no. But do the schools do anything about it, no. Do I feel any sympathy for anybody who went to Dulwich College, a 2–18 private, day and boarding school for boys. Probably heaping all kinds of abuse on the working class masses now.
  4. That is interesting as I use Firefox and it isn't working.
  5. Good point I never think to try a different browser. I expect them all to work the same but they don't.
  6. The last time I tried this was back in 2019. It didn't work then and a waste of time. With the recent changes I thought I would try a dummy run applying for a multi entry tourist visa. Registered with new email, got the confirmation email but I can't access the evisa web site. Just says timed out. Any ideas how I go about getting a visa?
  7. The subject is "UK’s Delayed Covid-19 Response “Cost Thousands of Lives”" Thailand is irrelevant. I do seem to remember Thailand "claiming" to have next to no covid cases and very few covid deaths, if you believe that. No doubt in your mind the Horizon scandal, grooming gangs and Grenville Tower also recent inquiries are water under the bridge so we can ignore them.
  8. In the UK we like to know who our corrupt politicians are. What has Thailand got to do with this. It is about how the UK dealt with it.
  9. You are ok then with the the billions spent on useless track and trace. The hundreds of millions paid out for worthless PPE bought through companies owned by mates of Ministers. Single source suppliers, no tenders. Then of course the hundreds of thousands who died needlessly. Yea right let's sweep the whole thing under the carpet then repeat the same **** up the next time it happens.
  10. They did know what they up against. Spanish flu was far more deadly and there had been more recent pandemics but not nearly as deadly. They did the Cygnus exercise to test out their readiness to deal with a pandemic. Plus there was internet panic in December 2019 so they absolutely knew what was coming. So the excuse that they just did know what they were up against doesn't cut it. Next time, if there is one. You can bet your like there will be another one. And I guarantee the Government will run about like headless chickens. What diverted the UK Government's focus was getting Brexit done. Only after that did they wake up to Covid.
  11. Not really understandable as only 3 years prior to Covid the UK carried out the Cygnus exercise https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_Cygnus I believe that high lighted every thing that the UK did wrong in 2020. So no excuse. Why carry out a pandemic exercise then ignore it.
  12. She asked for 2000 not 10000. If she wanted 2000 I would have sent it, no need for the elaborate deception.
  13. A shame they are only checking the departures and assuming anybody departing is departing for good and not just going on holiday. Then don't bother to cross refer arrivals. Pensions and access to the NHS next.
  14. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjr0p4l2qryo HMRC are checking people leaving the UK against Child Benefit payments then failing to check that they returned from holiday and stopped the child benefit payments. Pensioners going on holiday might want check that HMRC don't do the same with the pension increase in April or stop access to the NHS. You can bet if they are doing this with Child Benefit then other benefits will be next.
  15. And if they are prepared to trade with Russia in avoidance of sanctions who else are they trading with? Example would they stop at being involved with "trading" embargoed electronic goods to suspect Governments.
  16. So you know how far the hospital was and the fare to there, and back. Yes a bit high but she was topping up her card so had something else in mind no doubt. Either way 500 baht or 5000 baht let the ******* Slovaks cough up, assuming it was all true.
  17. I assume they wanted her to help because they were incapable of sorting it for themselves. Let's face it why does anybody employ a guide. For some reason even though at 8pm the tourists are not with the guide they some how thing the guide is still there to help at no additional cost. They couldn't speak any English so that is what their Embassy is there for or hospital phones the insurance company.
  18. WTF has that got to do with anything?
  19. So lets say you witness a motor cycle accident by somebody you don't know and you have no connection with. That person has several friends that they were travelling with. Said person crashes and needs to go to hospital. Friends of the person who crashes says can you come to the hospital and help out friend out and but the way although he is our friend we aren't paying you are. Are you telling me you would cough up. I don't mind helping anybody but I expect them to have their own means of paying, like insurance. Surely otherwise it is a scam.
  20. It wasn't was the cost of the X ray
  21. 2000 baht was not the cost of the X ray.
  22. That doesn't make sense. To be found guilty he would have to prosecuted in the first place. Prosecuted if found guilty of what?
  23. I wonder why when a white male rapes an ethnic woman it is racially aggravated rape but when an illegal migrant rapes a white girl it is just rape. Or the grooming gangs rape a white girl. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyg636kdrgo
