    How can it be 'seld defence' when she stabbed him MULTIPLE times?  

    Because contrary to the movies and their ingrained BS about knives it never is that idiotic steel on steel sound, one polite plunge, and presto the guy's dead on the hoof.

     

    Invariably in high adrenaline situations the stabber just keeps on pumping until the stabbee stops. In the time that he'd have taken to bleed to unconsciousness from the initial wound many extra holes get inflicted.

    we don't allow knives in our household, both agree if we had a big fight they'd get used

     

    just use scissors to cut meat when cooking

    Many stabbed prisoners would give you an argument re the safety with scissors ethos ????

    Any government's first responsibility is to protect their citizens.

     

    Somewhat like a doctor's pledge to First do no harm.

     

    Most countries have miserably failed to do this. Thailand included.  In fact, they have done irreparable harm to people like this who only want to pay their bills and have food on their table.

     

    Disgusting.

     

     

    That pledge from my experience of UK doctors has morphed into " First do f..k all "

     

    And governments in general it is as its always been " First take all you can"

    With the O-A you have to announce your intention to stay long term and apply for a visa before leaving your home country.

    Before visa issue you have to prove you have more than sufficient funds to support yourself for a year, are medically fit and have a clean criminal record. Documentation is required.

    The reward for applying in such an open way, is that you are blamed for hospital debts accumulated by some fly-by-night tourists, and will have to buy dodgy high cost, low value health insurance from a select band of Thai companies owned by who knows.(!)

     

    To get the O  you you can arrive at a border without a visa and state an intention of staying a short time as a tourist. You could be a skint, wanted criminal with aids and elephantiasis, but will be allowed to enter. You can later be allowed to extend for 12 months as a retiree.

    Your reward is that you are considered more trustworthy than the suspicious O-A characters and therefore will not need to buy the health insurance. 

     

    Eminently fair and laudable ????

     

    Shame they withdrew the stick two fingers up to all of it option, with a bounce to the border every 30 days ????
