I think you need to learn a bit more about globalization. Either that, or stop being disingenuous.

Globalization is a fantasy for middle class, white "Liberals" (Liberal in the Woke sense of the word, not the classic sense). The rest of the world laughs at it. Rightly so.

As I said, interesting that such a headline would be selected for the OP given the fact that the ban applies to all EU countries, plus Canada, US, Japan and Australia (and the UK). I will forgive your snide comments towards GB News and it's viewership, given their political leanings and rapidly growing success. https://pressgazette.co.uk/publishers/gb-news-sky-news-prime-time-ratings/

This is my main concern. I'd support 7 days quarantine for ALL travellers from China, irrespective of a test result. Covid tests are very unreliable, I was unwell for over 48 hours before I finally tested positive for Covid. Plus most of them willl have had less effective Chinese vaccines.

Interesting that the title focuses on the ban on sales to the UK when in fact the ban is for all countries abiding by the price cap, which is the G7, EU and Australia ????. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64102180

Why put politics ahead of the health of the citizens? What are you so afraid of being discovered?

Oh OK I get it now. Like everything else, this is really about Trump as far as you are concerned. Forget uncovering the truth, Orange Man Bad is far more important.

I don't know and I don't care. I have no interest in DeSantis and I am not interested in the politics of it all, I'd like to know more about the vaccines that we were coerced into taking. Any investigation is a positive thing as far as I am concerned. I have no time for people trying to deny a probe on political grounds. We need to know as much as possible about what happened and the health implications going forward.

Nothing to hide, nothing to fear. Let them investigate fully.

What are you so afraid of?

I don't see the harm in having a probe. If everything was fine with the vaccines, that is what the probe will show. It may even uncover information to help save lives in the event of a future pandemic. The fact that so many people are terrified of such an investigation is fascinating.

Ummmm, so has Britain. https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/grossdomesticproductgdp/bulletins/gdpmonthlyestimateuk/october2022

The plot thickens. It appears that EU Parliamentarians were colluding with Moroccan spies. https://www.politico.eu/article/mohamed-belahrech-morocco-spy-qatargate-european-union-scandal-corruption/ Looking forward to more news about this as the investigation continues into next year.

Oh look, another UK/Brexit bashing thread. ???? Interestingly, the UK economy grew in October. Meanwhile, the Eurozone is heading into recession. https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2022/11/11/europes-record-inflation-will-peak-at-year-end-but-remain-high-in-2023-says-brussels#:~:text=The eurozone and most EU,European Commission's autumn economic forecast. But let's ignore that and bash the UK. I remain delighted we left. The first couple of years were always going to be tough as we had to get all the trade deals rolled over, plus Covid struck at around the same time (leaving the EU helped greatly with the vaccine rollout let's not forget). Now that's out of the way, watch as the UK goes from strength to strength, as October showed. Not that it was about % points of GDP anyway, it was about getting out of the corrupt, failing federalist project, the European Union. https://www.euronews.com/video/2022/12/25/european-parliaments-former-vice-president-eva-kaili-spends-christmas-in-jail

Well you are aware now. 20. The age is 20. It's in the Wiki article here seeing as you missed it. And if you don't beleive Wiki it's also clear in these 2 articles. https://www.tatnews.org/2022/07/rules-and-regulations-concerning-cannabis-and-hemp-use-in-thailand/#:~:text=Thailand's Ministry of Public Health,have permission from a doctor). https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/40016730 So Cannabis is not "for the most part" legally the same as stones or fresh air. It's complete different in fact.

You're not aware of age restrictions? You think 7 year olds can legally buy and use Cannabis in Thailand? ???? I think you're confusing it with stones and fresh air again. I'm not surprised you need lawyers on a daily basis if such basic laws escape your attention (even when the answer was in the link I provided).

A very poorly written UK hit piece by some random publication. Not sure how this qualifies as World News.

So what you really meant, is that it's nothing like a stone or fresh air ????. The plant is fine, but yes there are laws regarding THC content for extracts. I don't believe such laws are in place for stone extract or fresh air extract? There are also age restrictions for Cannabis but not stones or fresh air as far as I am aware. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_in_Thailand Enjoy that time at the police station with your lawyer. Thai lawyers are great, and really cheap too!! ????

It shouldn't be up to police to interpret laws, but this is Thailand we are talking about so that is the reality. Feel free to argue with them about the exact text of the law while sitting at the police station but a bit of common sense and a knowledge of how Thailand works can avoid all that. No it doesn't have the legal status of a stone. There are different rules surrounding the sale of flower vs extract for example. The levels of THC permitted, where it can be smoked etc. Try sparking up outside the police station on beach road, and when the Police come for you, reassure them it's the same legal status as a stone. Don't forget to report back how that went for you...

I think the law is reasonably clear but leaves enough wiggle room for the police to interpret it in a way to benefit themselves. Common sense would be the best policy. A couple of joints in your own home while not bothering anyone will be fine. Spark up while walking down Pattaya's beach road with a ghetto blaster on your shoulder and your Bob Marley vest on and expect a few hours at the police station and a fine. I purchased some (for medicinal purposes) on Tuesday night from a shop on Sukhumvit 23. They offered me a branded bag to carry it in but I declined and put it in my bag before heading to the bar for a beer. Yes it is legal, but if you flaunt it then expect problems.

Seems she was lying about the whole "lack of protection" thing as well. https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1711944/Meghan-Markle-Prince-Harry-safety-concerns-Toronto-police-chief No surprise there, already many provable lies from this woman. Once again, it appears "recollections may vary" where Markle is concerned. Yep, you're not wrong there buddy. Especially Markle, the professional whinger, the perpetual victim. Keep up the good work, Police Chief Ramer. Oh, and sorry about Harry, we did our best with him but sadly, a lost cause.

I've provided evidence. 2 provable lies. One exposed by the Archbishop of Canterbury and one admitted by the couple themselves. Hard to get more evidence than that. Just because you pretend to ignore it makes no difference to it's existence. I changed my stance on nothing, you're making things up again ????. Anyway, your gaslighing is getting boring. I abhore racism, which is one reason I dislike Harry. I dislike liars, which is one reason I dislike Markle. I have no time for gaslighting either.

I said UK taxpayers money is no longer diverted to the EU. Don't misquote me.

I've posted about 10 links in this thread already. Would you consider suitcases of cash as evidence? How about confessions? https://www.ft.com/content/e3bfd079-5cc7-4f64-9db6-941ca9d5c3d0 https://www.dw.com/en/reports-eu-corruption-scandal-politician-partly-confesses/a-64168454

You have evidence. The wedding story. Ignore the others all you like. One is enough anyway. It's like saying you didn't kill someone because you only fired one shot ???? . They admit their own lies, even if you don't. Here is another provable lie. https://meaww.com/it-wasnt-a-blind-date-prince-harry-meghan-markle-slammed-lying-how-they-first-met Here are 3 provable facts for you. 1. Meghan is a liar - proven 2. Harry embarked on racist behaviour - proven 3. No racism has ever been proved in the Royal Family (except Harry). Why are you so intent on defending liars and racists? Very odd. Strange people to look up to. Do you idolize the proven liar Jussie Smollett as well?
