Additionally, the victim had sent messages to her friends intimating them of her decision to include Natthawalai in her will.

First of all, RIP to the victim and sympathy to the family. Very sad. 

For the sake of closure for everyone, hopefully these text messages from the victim are checked carefully by police in conjunction with the friends and don't read along the lines of "Have give Natthawalai money na khap, him good man sure, him jai dee maak, him poor but take care she good".

The local police believe that Delacot committed suicide given her actions leading up to the incident, which included sending goodbye messages to acquaintances and making salary payments. The security camera overlooking the pool had also been adjusted. 

Curious that the security camera overlooking the pool was adjusted, presumably to face away from where the gun was fired. If she didn't want to be filmed committing suicide in the pool she could have simply done it somewhere else where there wasn't a camera. Unless she was adamant that it must take place in a large mass of water where forensic evidence tends to dissipate. 

Now I'm not saying anything malicious happened, but if this was my sister/daughter I would certainly want a thorough investigation. I'd imagine it would be quite rare to bravely battle cancer, beat it, and THEN decide to shoot yourself. It's possible of course, but worth checking out certain details in the story for the sake of peace of mind for the family.

A party that introduces a "Hate Law" that itself promotes widespread hate in the community is not fit for purpose.

Let's hope it goes, along with Dumza, and that Scotland can return to being a country that is proud of it's heritage and the freedoms it fought for.

In the UK we all must pay National Insurance of some sort, that is where pensions come from.

Think I paid about 2 quid a week NI as class 2 self-employed, I get a full pension +.

Investing 2 quid would end up, not a lot....😁

But you lived in the golden age.

I don't think NI is 2 quid a week any more. And the pension age is increasing. The payout is pathetic as well. 

The fact it is mandatory is just another big state money grab. 

I paid into it for 8 years and then fortunately escaped to Thailand. No national insurance, no tax on company car or fuel, and thanks to the ltr visa a flat rate of 17%. VAT also low. 

Viva thailand.

Ummm...you seem to be a hardcore Trump supporter...

Ummm, you seem unable to read my posts. 

Anyone who pays into government pension scheme is a mug IMO. 

Pay into it for 40+ years and you might get a few years where they give a pittance back assuming they don't raise the age again.

Better investing the money privately so you can control when you can get to it. Not wait until you're in your late 60's to get it then drop dead at 71. 

I often get served peanuts with my beer by similarly dressed girls in an establishment around 50 metres from Asoke MRT.

It's a wonderful experience. 

Dumb cops meet dumb ex con.

If either party had an ounce of common sense this incident could have been avoided. 

Should be a good excuse for some looting though.

Anyone noticed that so called liberals are suddenly in favour of no freedom of speech,censorship,cancel culture  done a complete 180 on "my body my choice"  and now  fully support the deep state

(CIA,FBI,NSA etc etc) intruding into every aspect of their life ?

I noticed.

I also noticed that "UK Labour" support people that don't want to work.

I noticed that "Progressives" want to put race relations back 50 years with segregated spaces and 'positive' discrimination.

I noticed that "Democrats" want to remove political opponents via the courts and elect a senile puppet that they can control.

What a time to be alive! 😄

Is this something normal people in possession of a balanced mind worry about?

Or is it the reserve of those who habitually bang on about immigrants and Muslims in particular?

 

In modern Britain?

The former.

Nothing is hysterical if it deals with Fascists.

Unless they're not actually fascists, but law abiding decent people who wish for them and their families to be able to live in their own country in peace without being stabbed to death by someone shouting Aluha Ahkbar.

A good day for all normal men and heterosexual relationships.

This thread is about Weinstein, not Diddy.

A good solution to the soi dog problem. Take one of these with you on your morning stroll.
