  1. These Chinese EV's are so cheap now that many people are going to trade in their Honda Wave and buy one. 

     

    I would expect the traffic issues in Bangkok to get far worse in the next few years as congestion beating motorbikes are traded for these tin cans with a battery pack. 

     

    Not to mention queues at the charging stations. Parking at the shopping malls. Wear and tear on the roads. Increased rubber consumption as two skinny wheels are traded for 4 big ones under a tonne of lithium.

     

    Just what Asia needs, more cars on the roads. 

     

    I certainly wouldn't want to be in a crash in one of these 255,000 Baht sardine cans either.

    Is the rest of Europe meant to shrug its' shoulders and say, 'Your problem'? What do you suggest the Greek and Italian authorities do to those who seek to cross their borders: Force them to stay?

     

    That's up to the EU. Having let them into the EU, it is an EU problem.

     

    What they shouldn't do is enable them onto boats to non-EU countries. Especially non-EU countries that are paying EU countries hundreds of millions of Euros to stop them doing just that.

    Of course, in reality France doesn't want them either so they turn a blind eye.

    Thanks, here's a better vid of the one I referred to chanting “Death to Israel” “Death to America” “Victory for Islam” in a meeting in Beirut in February

     

     

    What a surprise. Greta hanging out with Jihadists. Never saw that coming. 😄

     

    Anyway, she's been detained and will be deported. Lucky for her it was the Israeli government she was protesting against and not Hamas or she might be missing a head right now.

    I guess it should not be a surprise that a Chinese General is credited with saying, “Keep your friends close; keep your enemies closer.”

     

    Why would you assume that Xi's China and Starmer's Britain are enemies?

     

    Quite the opposite. Very similar philosophies, I'd imagine Starmer will be bending Xi's ear on how best to silence dissent to the regime.

    It is in deed possible to hold that belief without advocating violence or discrimination, but going back to your preciously selected text, we can see precisely where the extremism comes into play:

    So you would therefore agree that the following view in itself is not an extreme wing terrorist ideology.

    That's great - nice to have agreement on the issue. 

     

    Perhaps you should email Prevent and voice your displeasure at their mischaracterization of such a commonly held belief.

    Reeves / Labour, just found another £149 Billion black hole.

     

    It would be mildy amusing, until I start to wonder which group they will raid to try to make up the shortfall?

     

    I mean they've already removed the pensioners fuel allowance, done a land grab on the farmers, removed much needed benefits from disabled/special needs people, added VAT to children's school fees. 

     

    Surely they're running out of vulnerable groups to go after?
