Typical climate change denial.

Research carried out by the University of Reading found that increases in turbulence events are consistent with the effects of climate change.

The BBC reported these findings.

Deniers find scientific evidence hard to swallow but facts are facts and conspiracy theories are erm......fairy stories.

In that case, presumably the climate has cooled since the spike of turbulence incidents in the 90's?

Must have been REALLY hot between 1997 and 2003. 😃

2013 must have been freezing.

This video shows them leaving the bar after altercation intact 

 

Good to see. Hopefully he gets an MRI scan as slow bleeds on the brain can take a while to get serious.

Interesting that the guards still appear to be having ta go at them as they are leaving. As if the intitial beatdown was not enough. Real scumbags.  

More climate alarmism from the BBC. 

Is there anything they do not find a way to blame on climate change? 😄

yes that was the point i initially made
what the cashier sees may not be the case
they could have met the 3rd guy minutes or hours before and got chatting,
could have even met him walking down soi 6
just because they enter together, does not mean they are together.
i knew long stayers who were known for doing this, have met others who brag of doing this

If I had to guess, they probably all got chatting in the bar and then one guy leaves without paying and the bargirl didn't want to get stung for the upaid bill so tried to pin it on the other two.

Curious that we haven't heard anything about the condition of the 2 guys that were beaten. Maybe the authorities are staying quiet for as long as possible and hoping they recover so this doesn't become another "murder in Thailand" story.

An excellent summation of the last couple of presidential campaigns.

They've been more like 2 geriatrics arguing at Bingo.

Actually you may be correct to bad she was very sick at the time when she made that unfortunate comment tho it’s turned out to be true unfortunately 

OK, so far we've had the gender card and now the sick card.

Anyone for the ageist card? 

Or how about the "own it" card?

The broken nose story was probably just made up rubbish on behalf of a "netizen" type character,  If it was true it would be on CCTV and would certainly been made public by now  in a vain attempt to justify what happened

I agree that was made up. Pattaya 6 bargirls rarely have a nose to break, unless it's made of silicone. 

Seriously though, I doubt they would have punched a girl, if they had it would have kicked off much sooner and the girls would have been joining in instead of trying to stop it. 

More likely they were acting like typical louts on any British Saturday night out and expected a similar sort of outcome i.e. maybe a couple of punches, a black eye, followed by shouting/swearing/posturing and everyone moves on. 

Unfortunately Thais do not fight like that and security went WAY too far. Let's hope reports that one of them died are untrue. Let's also hope security face jail time. 

The beating was totally over the top and charges need to be brought against those guards. Jail time. 

Having said that, I have met some real scumbag farangs in Pattaya. Arrogant, smug, insulting, confrontational. And that's just the bar owners, the punters are often worse 😃. 

Let's hope these two recover fully from this, although I suspect it will be a long recovery for the one who took the worst of it. 

I enjoy a good afternoon/night out and I've been ripped off maybe 5-10 times in 17 years. It's only a few hundred Baht, it's better to pay it, calmy tell them that you are aware of the rip off and won't be returning, then go somewhere else.

The Deplorables were never going to vote for Clinton.

 

Subsequent events have demonstrated her assessment to be correct.

By deplorables, of course you mean people with a different opinion/stance.

The left love diversity of everything except opinion.

But I think a bigger factor is the U.S. is not yet ready for a female President, too many voters have their heads stuck in the 1950s.

 

Feminist nonsense.

The problem is the quality of the female politicians. AOC, Hilary, Kamala etc. If they focused on policies and not only bitchy insults and inane cackling/babbling they might get more respect from the electorate. 

When you make the same mistakes as the UK, expect the same consequences.

Australia should have seen what happened to Britain/mainland Europe and re-considered their immigration policy.

Too late now. You reap what you sow. 

Clinton playing the gender card because she's too stupid to admit that insulting potential voters as 'deplorable' is not a great vote winner. 

The UK police are a disgrace, especially in London under Khan.

Knife crime rampant, but post a joke about LGBTQ and they're in like Flynn. 

Call for Jihad and the police will redefne Jihad as to not be offensive. Try to walk down the street as a Jew and be threatened with arrest for being 'openly Jewish'.

Police openinly shouting Pro Palestine chants.

They never miss the opportunity to dance at Pride or take the knee to BLM though. Pathetic.
