Trump Rejects EU’s ‘Zero Tariffs’ Offer, Vows to Erase $350bn Trade Deficit With Energy Sale
I guess that's why Von Der Leyen has immediately offered a zero for zero deal? The EU love removing tariffs on imports for no reason whatsoever. 😄 After their disgraceful behaviour during post Brexit trade negotiations it's delicious to see them squirm.

Trump Rejects EU’s ‘Zero Tariffs’ Offer, Vows to Erase $350bn Trade Deficit With Energy Sale
You think American consumers are just going to keep buying EU products like German cars at these new inflated prices? 😄 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/apr/04/germany-car-industry-faces-up-to-trump-tariffs

Thailand Tackles US Tariffs: Plans for Trade Reform Unveiled
If they do, I wouldn't be surprised if the Thai retailers keep the prices the same and pocket the difference.

Great to see the EU getting a taste of their own medicine. What goes around comes around.

BBC Faces Backlash Over Use of Term ‘Revert’ in Islam Coverage
I only go to the BBC website to see how the left are twisting the news to fit their leftist Woke agenda. Same as I very occasionally read The Guardian to see what the lefty trolls on here will be posting tomorrow. My infrequent (but amusing) visits makes me "one of their most valuable readers" apparently. Hence the constant begging for donations and imminent collapse. The only place the propaganda seems to have worked is The UK. Everywhere else they have to use lawfare to keep right wing politicians out of power aka Le Pen. In the UK they use lawfare to silence or jail the indigenous population in order to facilitate the takeover.

FTSE plummets to one-year low amid global stock market chaos
I honestly don't think they did. DEI Lammy, Rachel from accounts, Rayner, Miliband, Cooper etc. It's like the opening sequence to The Muppet Show.

They also refer to Hamas as "Freedom Fighters". They are a lost cause.

Riding on red plates in anther province
I had a red plate on a motorcycle that I bought in Phuket. All other bikes I've bought (all in Bangkok) have had no plate until the real one arrives. I think red plates on new motorcycles is just a Phuket thing but maybe other forum members can correct me on that? Either way, I just ride them as normal until the real plate arrives. Multiple provinces, before and after dark etc. Never had an issue. I just carry the proof of purchase and por lor bor until the tax/plate is delivered. I don't think it's one of the laws that is extensively enforced.

Staff Bus Overturns and Plunges Into Ditch in Ayutthaya – 15 Injured
Yeah, either the driver fell asleep or had a serious medical emergency like a heart attack/stroke. My money is on him falling asleep.

‘Unparalleled Crimes’: George Santos Faces Seven-Year Prison Term in Federal Fraud Case
Santos is clear unhinged. A real Walter Mitty. I think long term psychiatric help might be more appropriate in this case.

World stock markets plunge again as Trump doubles down on tariffs
The man is not for turning. Everyone knows that investments may go down as well as up. That's why a long term approach is always the correct one.

FTSE plummets to one-year low amid global stock market chaos
Pure hyperbole to justify more backtracking on his empty promises. I bet Labour are rubbing their hands together. "This is even better than the imaginary 20 Billion black hole".

BBC Faces Backlash Over Use of Term ‘Revert’ in Islam Coverage
They don't try to BE neutral, they try to APPEAR neutral and they can't even do that any more. They deserve to be held to a higher standard to other outlets due to the way they are funded. Cut off the public funding and they will be free to trot out their left wing propaganda like CNN all they like. They created their "fact checking" service to try to be the "arbiters of truth" but they hired staff to run it who had lied on their CV and the fact checking service constantly gets their facts wrong. They are like a microcosm of Britian itself, flailing around in a pit of misguided Woke ideology.

IPhones to Hit $3.5K? Trump Tariffs Spark Apple Revolt
Lots of mights, mays, potentiallys and coulds in that article. Interesting that a 54% import tariff "could" increase the price by 218%. 😄 I picked up my 16 Pro Max a couple of weeks ago. Good phones. I predict they will sell well.

Trump’s Tariff Strategy: US can no longer act as the world's economic shock absorber
Another poster who is unable to refute any of the points and therefore resorts to meaningless comments in an attempt to appear somewhat knowledgable. Well done. 😄

Labour MP Dan Norris Arrested Over Alleged Child Sex Offences
What a bunch of degenerates Labour are. When they are not beating up their constituents like Mike Amesbury they appear to be abusing children. If convicted, expect nothing more than a slap on the wrist like Amesbury. They need the cells for the right wing social media posters and the exposers of the grooming gangs.

The Shadow War: When Vigilantism Crosses a Dangerous Line "paedophile hunters"
Very concerning. Unfortunately when the justice system is so clearly failing, people will seek it themselves. And Britian's justice system at the moment is a joke.

National Insurance Hike Forces Nearly Half of UK Firms to Scale Back Hiring
Who would have thought that making it more expensive to hire people would result in less people being hired? Obviously not Rachel from accounts and her budget for recession.
