Foreign motorcyclist flees Thailand after hit-and-run in Phuket - video
What an idiot. He even made the classic mistake of picking up the (still running) fallen motorbike by the throttle. Never ends well. Let's hope they catch him.

EU Vows Strong Response to Trump’s Tariff Threats
Trump is (obviously) negotiating. He's frightened the life out of them, now he will let them stew for a month. He appears to have gained concessions already. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c70kn4676p4o

Scottish Ministers Weigh Controversial Cat Ban and Curfew to Protect Wildlife
Don't ever recall targeting cats when shooting on my Uncle's farm. Foxes, rabbits, birds, yes. But cats? Don't even remember seeing a cat while in the fields. The only cats around were the ones at the farmhouse, kept to control vermin. A treat? Like a trip to the movies or a tin of quality street? They are part of the food chain. They kill rodents and are killed by larger predators. Just as it should be. No need for leftists to get involved with mandatory leashes or bans.

Released Hostage Emily Damari Tells Keir Starmer she was held in UN Facilities
Given the rampant anti-semitism in the Labour party, I'm surprised Starmer even took the call.

Trump Announces Halt to all U.S. Funding for South Africa
Musk will certainly be way more up to date with the current situation in South Africa than you appear to be.

Reform UK Surpasses Labour in Landmark YouGov Poll
Great to see the UK following America's lead. Starmer (Biden) out after a single term, Farage (Trump) in.

Trump Announces Halt to all U.S. Funding for South Africa
Great move. The treatment of white farmers (and white people in general) in SA is nothing short of disgusting. "Kill the Boer" is a popular song for certain political groups that have an astonishingly large support. There should be zero funding. In fact, massive sanctions should be applied.

JK Rowling Clashes with Graham Norton and Billy Bragg Over 'Cancel Culture' Debate
Other than Terry Christian, is there a more annoying leftist nutter than Billy Bragg? Well done JK Rowling for sticking it to these hypocritical, censorious, misogynists. Their spiel is straight from the philosophy of Idi Amin.

EU Vows Strong Response to Trump’s Tariff Threats
Stick it to 'em Donald. They've been taking the mickey for far too long. They absolutely love imposing tariffs on imports, let's see how they like it when the shoe is on the other foot. This could be yet another upside of Brexit. Thank god we left the failing federalist cesspit of corruption and protectionism that is the EU.

Biden’s Clemency Moves Sparked Backlash Within His Own Justice Department
Indeed. In Thailand I think they call it "unusually wealthy". What's more, I bet that's the tip of the iceberg. I'd wager the rest of the Biden crime family have sizeable stashes tucked away as well.

I can't stand cats, but this is absolutely ridiculous. What is it about governments that they feel they can control every aspect of our lives? Cats on leashes? 😄 Next they'll be complaining that the rat, mouse, pigeon etc. populations have exploded.

Biden’s Clemency Moves Sparked Backlash Within His Own Justice Department
I guess he has misguided sympathy for gun toting, drug taking, prostitute using degenerates, given how his (now pardoned) son turned out. Thank goodness Trump won.

UK Network Rail told staff to stop using the word “passengers” Use Gender-neutral language
They have to appear to be "progressive". They think it makes them appear intelligent to propose new and better ways of doing things, even if the original way was far superior. That's why we end up with big fat bearded hairy blokes being asked if they are pregnant when they turn up at A&E with a broken hand after a day on the building site. All to appease the 1% of the 1%. Meanwhile, the world laughs at the UK and their inane government.

FAA’s Diversity Policies Under Fire After Deadly Air Collision
Nonsense. Studies consistently show that men perform better in terms of things like spatial awareness, which is kind of important when flying military aircraft. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6591491/ It's normal and appropriate that men would be over-represented in things like aviation, motor sports etc. Trying to shoehorn diversity quotas into dangerous things ike flying aircraft is not a good idea. It sounds like she was not only female, but also a Lesbian and rumours suggest the reason her name was withheld (while the other 2 names were released) was to purge her social media of her attending PRIDE events with her partner etc. So it would appear that Trump did indeed have more information than members of this forum, as I said he did. Now, to be 100% clear I am not saying Lesbians cannot fly aircraft, I am saying that being a Lesbian should not give you a better chance of getting the gig in order to fill a diversity quota. It should be based purely on ability. Otherwise, bad things can happen. Let's hope the full investigation is honest and open and not an exercise in protecting DEI dogma.

Labour’s Watered Down Immigration Policy Shift Sparks Backlash
Of course they are. They always break their promises. You can't trust them as far as you can throw them. Starmer is as bad as Biden in that regard, and will suffer the same fate.

Starmer Accused of Endangering UK Security by Exempting China from Toughest Spy Laws
No surprise. Starmer has a lot in common with Xi and doesn't really care about Britain's security.

Trudeau Calls for National Support as Trade War with Trump Escalates
Finally some sense from Trudeau. Nation states should always aim to be as self sufficient as possible and support domestic produce.

2 Tier Keir needs to accept his mistakes for once and remove this charlatan. Rachel from accounts is doing untold damage to Britain. Although I am starting to think that is part of the plan.

Elon Musk: The Rise of Electric Cars is Unstoppable, Despite Trump
Yeah plug in hybrids are a good solution for people who do a short commute and have their own house. Unfortunately many people working in bangkok live in condos where there might be 10 charging stations for hundreds of rooms. These people commute hours every day the last thing they need is an hour or more to charge their car. Just another hour of their lives lost. Ok for retired expats in the middle of nowhere with solar panels on their roof. But they are the 1% of the 1%. A full EV would actually suit me quite well on my farm but it sometimes floods and I just don't like them in terms of the driving experience.

Elon Musk: The Rise of Electric Cars is Unstoppable, Despite Trump
The charge time is the problem. Even 15 minutes is too much for me. As more and more people buy them there will be queues at the stations as well. With gas cars 3 of them in a queue is 5 minutes not 45. Plus they are soulless. Like driving a dodgem. An app that played v8 sounds through the speakers might help. Not too keen on having such a fire risk in my garage either. Even my E mountain bike battery makes me nervous. Ok for local use but not for long trips. I'm happy for others to buy though. Should keep the price of fuel low.
