Well, Jacinda Ardern had a child while PM and she did a great j.... Oh, wait a minute... ???? Seriously though, there is no reason why Paetongtarn would have any issues, she could have a whole team of nannies, drivers, chefs etc. attending to her every whim. To be honest, she could have septuplets with no help at all and still do a better job than Prayut.

Location is irrelevant. If the police had reason to believe they were going to glue their face to one of the horses or the carriage then it would be reasonable to arrest them before they arrived at the location. If the police had reason to suspect they had a bomb should they refuse to arrest them because they are 'nowhere near' the coronation? Where did I say support is unanimous? Oh that's right, I didn't, it was all in your imagination. ???? Of course there are always going to be the pink haired, rainbow sock wearing attention seekers screaming obscenities but thankfully it did not detract from a wonderful occasion. Long Live the King.

Seems they allowed protests that were not causing a nuisance. From your link...

You really shouldn't expect a principled stance from members of the SNP. Hamza Yusuf is a Republican but he was hardly going to miss an event like this based on minor things like principles.

I'm guessing the vocal minority, the Pink haired brigade were causing a public nuisance again. Nobody likes a party pooper. Hope they didn't spend too long in the cells.

I'd call it a gracious smile on a serious occasion. What was the expression? Of that's right...

And suddenly there was a battle for top 4. I still think Utd will get that 4th place. Liverpool are running out of games and Utd have quite an easy run in against some poor sides. Terrible performance against West Ham though. Almost ten years since they sacked Moyes and you have to wonder what progress has been made.

I think he's bang on the money. I'd expect some manufactured protests, maybe a bit of violence which will all be solved when the "good people" retake power to restore the good name of Thailand and return happiness to the people (again).

He looked thoroughly embarrassed to me, and rightly so. Like a kid sent to the naughty chair in front of his classmates while trying to pretend he finds it funny. Still, he's probably got a bit more material for another book to sell to the Brit haters. On a positive note, Catherine looked incredible as always.

It was a magnificent occasion. Nobody does these occasions quite like the British. Brilliantly supported by the British people.

It's all catching up to Joe. You can run, but you can't hide. Eventually the truth will surface. Oh what a tangled web we weave...

All official now. What a great occasion. Implemented perfectly. Wonderfully British. Who'd want to swap that for a President like Macron? Especially when William is the next in line. Did I miss the thread about it here on the World News Forum on Aseannow?

Wise move. While the cat's away, the mice will play.

A minority of bitter, beer bellied Scottish football supporters. They pulled a similarly classless stunt prior to the Queens funeral. https://www.thenational.scot/sport/22562552.snp-chief-ian-blackford-slams-celtic-fans-sickening-queen-protest-banners/ Hardly representative of "the people".

I suspect if he had allowed the baying crowd to advance on the officers then there would have more fatalities, possibly the officers and possibly people in the crowds. He was in an impossible position. Damned if he did and damned if he didn't.

I've encountered quite a few nut jobs over the years. They also seem to be getting extremely fussy about the fares they accept. It's one thing being refused a fare from downtown to Ladprao at rush hour, but a couple of weeks ago I got refused a taxi from Emporium to The Clubhouse on soi 23 at 10am.

He's barking up the wrong tree. He's normally very astute, but I feel he's got this one very wrong. There are more important issues that require his attention.

It's simply political maneuvering. Politically motivated charges, which will be made at a time to make the most impact politically. She's leaked it in advance to get maximum exposure. IMO of course.

In other words, no evidence of anything. You've got nothing.

Absolutely. They were trying to stop the car and god knows what went through her mind. She was probably expecting this extremist left wing mob to drag her out of the car and start beating her to within an inch of her life, maybe even beyond that. A perfectly legitimate fear given the behaviour of BLM elsewhere. She should have been given a community award, not community service.

Yes I can't say Aquaman/The Avengers, or Cuties is really my type of thing. More of a Tarantino, Lynch, Kubrick, Scorsese fan.

Devastating. No more Marvel superhero movies from Hollywood and no more Woke series/documentaries from Netflix. I'm not sure how I'm going to survive the loss of such insightful, innovative entertainment.

In Tao's case all he did was hold back the baying crowd, which may have actually prevented a full on riot and more fatalaties. So in my opinion, this is harsh. If he failed to hold them back and fatalaties ensued as a result, he may still have faced manslaughter charges. He was between a rock and a hard place. However, anything less than this would likely lead to BLM/Antifa and other extremist left wing groups burning and looting American cities again so he appears to have to take one for the team.

Another good example of why countries need to protect their borders and manage illegal immigration properly. This luvvy duvvy approach of welcoming everyone with open arms (or not managing illegals effectively) is proving a complete disaster in many countries, the UK being the most obvious example.

What other thing? I hope you are not implying what you seem to be implying. If you think it then say it, but you better have some evidence to back it up.
