Many of us predicted this would happen once we freed ourselves from the shackles of the EU and all it's rules and regulations. Project Fear shown once again to be lying scare tactics. Fortunately enough people saw through it. Viva Brexit.

She's female so expect a light sentence. The lads probably enjoyed it, right? Had she ticked more DEI boxes (racial/religious minority or alphabet people) she would have walked, in the unlikely event it even got this far. Unfortunately she is guilty of being white and thus far she has only served 30 years of her crime.

Not only the British. The Irish are sick of it as well. Local communities are rising up against the betrayal by their elected officials. And why shouldn't they? Indigenous populations should be protected and prioritized like they are in the East. The Libs have already ruined the West and Biden recently went as far as to insult the likes of Japan for standing up for their own citizens. What a clown show.

I don't remember the IRA killing and raping and burning 1200 people in one day. Then parading victims around the streets. I don't believe the IRA were integrated with the Irish government either. This was a declaration of war. They wanted it and they got it. Now they are losing badly and trying to walk it back. Doesn't really work like that.

Politics should be kept out of sport. In any case, a response to the October 7 attacks is no reason to ban Israel from anything. Any country would respond to such a horrific terrorist attack by their neighbours.

I must assume you don't know anyone with impaired sight ?

Yeah I've had a few Teslas blast past me at around 180 on the Bang na to Nawamin elevated highway. I forgave them though, as it was clearly a purchase inspired by environmental responsibility.

Nothing kinder to the the environment than accelerating from 0-100 in 2.4 seconds on lithium power. Where's my green stripe?

Make sure you turn those pedestrian warning sounds off. The blind will be grateful I'm sure. Not to mention wildlife. 2 tonnes of lithium silently whistling along the road flattening everything in their path and destroying the roads. Nothing greener than that...

It's known as post purchase rationalisation. Typically lasts between 1 and 5 years depending on the amount invested.

I wouldn't say they are useless. You just need a very specific set of circumstances for them to make sense. No long adventurous journeys. No last minute detours when you pass the sign for the beautiful waterfall that you didn't know was there, just follow the app. A home with personal parking. Preferably solar panels. A penchant for hanging around gas stations drinking overpriced coffee. As for marketing, yes. I am yet to see someone driving a Good Cat Ora that isn't a 20 something wannabee hiso girl that probably can't afford a mini Cooper. I've got such an individual in my condo and it makes me nervous when she parks it near my car or under my second floor room (its a 48 unit low rise). Also noticeable is that it has had a dent for 4 months now. She does seem the type to bump her way into parking spaces but I'm not sure if she can't afford the repair or the parts aren't available.

Thanks. I've ordered some ill fitting boxer shorts in preparation.

Nonsense. It's like saying a redneck carrying a placard stating that Africans kill babies is not racist because there are black people in Germany. We all know that Zionist is a euphemism for Jew. Stop making excuses for it. We all know what it is. Apologists enable this to continue.

Sorry if it was all getting too complicated for you. I will try to dumb it down in future if i think you are reading. Maybe start by looking at the title of the thread and the two tier policing at the pro Palestine protests in London. Failing that, try nzt-48. 15% of the electorate is huge in any election. Not many Muslims would vote for another candidate other than Khan. He's got their back and they know it. Once you add in the hand wringing white guilt liberals he's got it all sewn up.

Fortunately not. Its a bike, not a scooter (as in an electric mountain bike). To be honest, I don't like having the battery in my condo for charging, makes me nervous. I'm thinking of taking it to the farm and keeping it in the outside toilet that i built for the workers. I don't do many long journeys there and I have a lake to put out any fires so it almost makes sense in that very specific environment 😅.

A poor post by your standards. Seems a lot of cases that make EV unsuitable. Why would I buy a car that is unsuitable for long trips? Or a car that I cannot charge when at my bangkok condo? Unknown long term reliability. Unknown long term support. And you are really comparing a top model Camry to a BYD Seal? It seems you need a very specific set of circumstances for EV to make sense and even then you are driving something that sounds like a hoover. I also don't fancy a load of lithium in a device manufactured to a tight budget in China on my driveway. Like having a firework factory in the basement.

Well for a start I own an EV bike and a Hybrid Camry so let's put that to bed. My sister in law has a full EV car. She likes to do trips up to and around Chiang Mai, Pai, Mae Hong son etc. Keeps moaning about having to plan her routes around the charging stations and then having to wait when she gets there. She was joking she's never drunk so much Inthanin coffee as she does waiting around at these stations. We suggested she buy shares in them. Depends on the market. In the UK (where I was referring to the green strip virtue signalling) they are not cheaper. A very specific circumstance. Most people do not have solar panels and many do not even have somewhere to install a normal charger. My tractor is great for my farm, I wouldn't recommend my colleagues buy one for the Bangkok commute. Different circumstances, different use. Insurance and depreciation are far more significant expenses than servicing and road tax. 20% harder on tyres etc.

What's the point of buying an EV if you can't virtue signal about it? All that money and inconvenience, there has to be some benefits...

Trial???? 😃 Jeez is getting sacked not enough? And yet when a woman does the same thing, it's a feel-good story. https://www.archysport.com/2023/08/jockey-sean-kirranes-surprising-kiss-from-owner-jolene-after-ebor-festival-win/ Gotta love equality.

Peaceful? I think you mean "largely" peaceful.😆 Much like the "mostly"peaceful BLM riots. https://news.sky.com/story/police-actively-looking-for-individuals-over-antisemitic-signs-at-pro-palestinian-march-13005665

Pot. Kettle.

They should have thought of that on October 6th and gone home. Instead, the woke up the next day and committed heinous acts, for which they are now experiencing the consequences. FAFO.

Get over it? 😃 You might recall Vote Leave won. All those trying to overturn the democratic vote lost. Or have you managed to finally erase the memory? 😄 Certainly won't. I'm sure Eden's song will be the best. Who is Palestine's entrant?

Certainly not publicly... Not doubt with Hamas influencing government policy...

You mean keep voting until you get the "correct" result. How Democratic. 😃 The marches (including calls for Jihad/Genocide) have been going on for months, it's not just one photo. I am not misrepresenting reality, I am providing evidence of reality. Inconvenient for people like you who seek to deny/justify it. There is nothing bright about Khan being re-elected by his cohort of anti-semites. I can see how you might see it that way though...
