Weird how so much glass was on the outside even though he allegedly broke IN. Normally glass goes into the house on such occasions. Not sure how he'd fit through that hole either. Certainly not without ripping himself to shreds on broken glass. Also, weird is the total lack of security for such a high profile figure. Anyway, with the FBI working on this I'm sure all the details will come out 100% truthfully. Whatever really happened, hopefully Pelosi makes a full recovery.

Not off topic. An example of how the left are prepared to ignore the medical conditions of those they consider to be right wing. Kanye is Bipolar, Who cares? A Tory needs resuscitating? Who cares? #bekind

I was talking about why the MSM have singled out Kanye as opposed to multiple other black artists with homophobic, misogynistic views. Then you diverted to the % of Republicans that support MAGA. It was off topic. Anyway, I'm off to twitter. This post will probably be deleted before you read it. Ciao.

This topic is not about the % of Republicans that support MAGA. Nice diversion though.

I do not believe these executives were fired for their political leanings. In fact there are rumours it was staged and the actors were not employees. Let's see how that plays out. As a result of Musk buying Twitter I will certainly be spending much more time there engaging in open debates where everyone has a voice, rather than platforms that censor posts based on political opinion. After all, without posters these platforms are worth nothing. I am sure Twitter will thrive now. I hope so. Well done Elon, please allow free speech for both sides. Even the left deserve their voice, their opinion. Let's have open debate. Free speech for all.

I couldn't agree more. However he is a MAGA hat wearing Republican so that makes him fair game for the #bekind gang. Mental illness or not, he must be humiliated, then cancelled. Remember, these people believe people who vote Conservative do not deserve to be resuscitated in a medical emergency. This is the mentality we are dealing with. Sad, but true (I have links).

Has he allowed Trump back on yet? Genuine question. There are no streams of Progressive tears running down my soi this morning, I haven't seen any bodies attached to "man buns" falling from Thong Lor condos so I would assume its business as usual? Let's hope he reinstates freedom of speech for BOTH sides of the political divide, unlike a lot of social media platforms that I could mention but won't for obvious reasons.

The guy on the left looks like he's about to unveil his elaborate plan for the tortuous death of Mizter Bond.

"Suspected" drug dealers. Any proof needed? Or is this just a great way to take out business rivals, love rivals, political rivals etc. Maybe the police could handle this job? Just a thought...

Oh dear. All those TAT eggs in the Chinese basket and you got zero dollar tours, drug parties and Xi's zero Covid policy making it very difficult for Chinese to take vacations overseas. Time for a rethink?

Across social media.

He's a Trump supporter, so he's fair game as far as the left are concerned. Mental illness or not, he needs to be ridiculed and cancelled as punishment for having the 'wrong' political beliefs. Meanwhile, they sweep news regarding anti-semitism/racism in their own ranks under the table. #bekind

Well, that's certainly reassured me. Where do I sign up? ????

There may actually be an element of truth to that. The blatant misogyny, homophobia, sexism, glorifying of gun violence etc. so rife in hip hop never seems to get mentioned. As soon as a Republican black guy says something out of line he is crucified. What Kanye said was 100% wrong, but it does seem curious the way he has been singled out in comparison to other black males. I wonder if it could be due to his political beliefs? Never really thought about it before but an interesting theory for sure. We all know how the left hate a black man that doesn't conform to their stereotypes and preconceptions of what a black man should be. What was it Biden said? "If you vote Trump, you ain't black" or something along those lines? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/22/us/politics/joe-biden-black-breakfast-club.html https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-63050482

What is MAGA? I didn't know Trump was anti-semitic. Could you provide links to prove this? I'd be very interested to know. For sure Kanye is though. Never really liked him to be honest. I think he claimed he was God at one point.

Hardly prolific. I had some opinions on the Trump raid, can't remember being in many others for more than a couple of posts. They tend to be quite vitriolic if you're a neutral observer and don't follow the Democrat "progressive" narrative so I mostly avoid them. I think Kanye is a republican isn't he? I seem to remember he was going to run for President a couple of years ago. That would have been interesting. He certainly appears quite delusional a lot of the time. Adidas are probably better off without him although I have friends who swear that Yeezy model is the comfiest shoe ever.

I'm English. Don't have too much interest in American politics so I used an example closer to home. Anyway, back on topic it was good to see Kanye getting called out although I do suspect there might be some serious underlying mental health issues there that should be addressed. This is not the first time he's done something indicating a serious issue.

I would agree on your first point. My main point was that it was the correct reaction from Adidas, my secondary point was that I hope it sets an example in other cases (such as voting). I thought that was clear. Comparisons are valid.

I don't believe that's the case. The Tories are very diverse and I think it's a mistake to assume people vote one way or another due to their race in 2022. Even if they were racist and wanted to vote against Sunak, would they rather have Dianne Abbott and David Lammy in the cabinet? At least Sunak is coherent. I've only seen racism like that in the Labour party. I wonder if they've described him as superficially Asian yet? After all, he's rich and Conservative. Love to hear what Rupa Huq thinks of all this. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-63050482

Exactly. Let's hope voters react to Anti-Semitism and racism in the Labour party with the same vigour that Adidas did with Mr West.

No surprise. Completely in keeping with Prayut's policy of widening the wealth gap.

Once again, a complete lack of empathy for someone simply because of their political views. Perfectly demonstrating the false virtue of the left much better than I ever could. Thanks.

I see the #bekind crew are out in force ????. Claiming she gets 115k for life as a result of 6 weeks work is ridiculous. A bit like claiming a student gets an honours degree for 3 hours sitting in an exam room. Seriously - how do you think she is feeling right now? Publicly humiliated and all the left can do is kick her when she is down. The fake compassion on view for all to see. Supporting diversity for everything except diversity of opinion. As vitriolic as ever. Reminds me of the lefty NHS nurse Miranda Hughes who recently stated that conservative voters didn't deserve to be resuscitated. Take a good long look at yourselves. Truss made a mistake by reversing her budget under pressure. The markets would have stabilized but even if they didn't, who is setting policy? The democratically elected Parliament or "the markets"?

Thailand has a few issues. 1. They put all the eggs in China's basket and now China has gone full on mental with "zero Covid" so they lost that whole market. 2. Western tourists that used to come were not the highest class, generally speaking. Just the type of people that will be hardest hit by crazy energy prices as they didn't have huge disposable incomes to start with. That 2 week millionaire fund for propping up the bars of Pattaya in a Chang vest has been used up heating their homes or paying their mortgage. 3. Stupid rules from the government (no vaping, alcohol bans at various days/times, mask mandates, early closing) suck the fun out of the place. 4. Bad attitudes and service exposed on social media for 5+ years. I think the golden years are gone and they are starting to realize how much tourism contributed to the country.

There are many factors affecting interest rates. I don't believe the Tory budget affected the European Central Bank's decision, did it?
