Well done Brian. Racism and sexism is wrong in all forms, even when it is against white people or male people (or Jews). This politics of revenge only prolongs discrimination and resentment. The answer to racism is not more racism. Time for this positive discrimination to be filed under the "terrible political ideas" tab. Along with Critical Race Theory and other leftist loony theories.

Climate alarmism thinly disguised as travel news. If they keep repeating it, they think people will start believing it.

Srettha was a stop gap. Someone put in place while they overturned the election result and ensured Move Forward never got power. They're just waiting for the right time to officially hand the power to Thaksin. My guess would be 12-18 months depending on the public mood. Democracy. Thai sty.

Loud or Aggressive is fine, as long as they are loud and aggressive. In this case I'd say it's fairly accurate for Fani Willis. I'd agree on the use of the word uppity, it's has racial connotations, akin to Biden referring to LL Cool J (as well as other black men) as "Boy". https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/watch-joe-biden-forgets-popular-rappers-name-and-calls-him-boy-trolled-4419777

OK that's good to know, thanks...

That's what I was thinking as well. I'm sure I get charged (I think 20 Baht) every time I withdraw money from an ATM outside Bangkok.

In a car I'm not too bothered, I'm quite happy with an Auto since I do a lot of driving in and around Bangkok and I get very little pleasure from driving in such an environment anyway. On motorcycles, I much prefer a manual gearbox. Being able to control the amount of engine braking, throttle response, availability of power etc. by selecting the correct gear gives you much more control and makes it a much more engaging, visceral experience. Especially when mated to a 140hp Italian V-Twin.

This article is about manual vs automatic gearboxes. Not self drive vehicles.

It reeks of pure desperation. They know the writing is on the wall. Expect more of these stupid attempts to subvert the democratic will of the people.

Given Biden's clumsy, racist language I'd imagine most black voters would vote for Trump in any case. He doesn't need AI images, Joe will take care of the job for him. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2020/may/22/joe-biden-charlamagne-you-aint-black-trump-video https://nypost.com/2023/09/25/biden-slammed-for-botching-ll-cool-js-name-calling-him-boy/ Black males don't generally like being call "Boy" by old, white males.

Obviously the correct decision. The voters of America need to decide whether they want Trump or not, nobody else. Just like Brexit, attempts to overturn the Democratic will of the people should be shut down immediately.

Agreed. It's amazing how many forum members who have previously been labeling others as Racist at every opportunity are now so eager to expose themselves as antisemites. I guess they don't consider hatred of Jews as Racist. Like Diane Abbott. https://news.sky.com/story/diane-abbott-accused-of-hateful-antisemitism-after-suggesting-jews-do-not-face-racism-12864141

Khan is a disgrace. Absolutely useless. A massive waste of space. There is absolutely no reason to pretend otherwise.

There's really not much to complain about with Jews living in Britain. Unless you are a rampant antisemite of course.

Mainly Beach Road Pattaya, where there are regular stories about them committing violent crime. It's not a right wing issue. It's about protecting women and providing safe spaces for them. Not every woman wishes to spend time in a prison or changing room with a man in a dress.

But the Met Police are consistently failing to enforce existing laws on hate speech when Jews are on the receiving end of it. Two tiered policing. Not really a surprise when you have Khan as Mayor.

It's no surprise that you would try to downplay the rapid rise of antisemitism in the UK. You sound like Dianne Abbott claiming Jews do not face racism and comparing it to having ginger hair. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/apr/23/diane-abbott-suspended-by-labour-after-saying-jewish-people-not-subject-to-racism No doubt people were also trying to downplay it prior to the rise of the Nazi party's reign of terror. That's some elite company you're in.

Throw the book at her. She was so clearly lying under questioning it was ridiculous. Her indignant attitude, obfuscation, diversionary tactics were quite a sight to behold. She has no business being in a position of power. A complete charlatan.

About 9/11? Or 6/1? (I kind of feel stupid using 6/1 as some historic date, I had to look it up). Are you seriously comparing the 2 events ?

Are you really comparing a few hundred wackos in Cosplay walking into a building to the rise of Muslim extremism and antisemitism in the west? How about we compare 6/1 to 9/11? Is that clear enough for you ?

You always say that. I'm yet to see you follow up on it, mainly because of the "it never happens" part.

The problem for Labour is that Starmer is also pro Israel (publicly anyway). That's how these opportunist chancers like Galloway step in to rally up the antisemites and get a seat in Parliament. He's smart. He showed it can be done. Expect more of it. The hate is strong at the moment and people will exploit it.

It is antisemitism. People might try to use language to try to soften the edges, but it is what it is. The world's oldest hatred cannot be repackaged that easily.

Good to see you agree that global warming will make certain places easier to live. Easier for certain species to survive. Easier for certain crops to grow. Human technology to allow us to adapt will undoubtedly be faster than the rate of climate change. I thought you "progessives" welcomed change? May I remind you that climate related deaths are falling dramatically, mainly due to technology? And I'm not talking about creating Lithium batteries from African child labour.

Tax rates? I also suspect the socilaist movement will use their science to try to extract more green taxes from the successful in order to create their utopia where the elites fly around on private jets and the proles give up their 2 weeks in the sun. On that we can agree.
