Farmers in the UK have shotguns to discourage such behaviour!
Luckily I was working in BKK at the time as I might have got myself into a sticky situation had I been there.

The owner was present and it was his crop. My gf filmed it all and ripped him to pieces (verbally). Apparently the little scrote was on his knees begging us not to report it to the authorities or put in on social media. We're still discussing the next steps as she doesn't want to create a lifelong fued with him. He's promised not to do it again and cut it instead of burn it next time but I highly doubt he is believable. It would be great if they would just enforce the law but no, they just pontificate and "urge".

Keep to the topic.
Your personal advice is exceedingly unwelcome.
I am keeping on topic.
You keep using the word fascistic. I am saying it is totally inappropriate in the context you are using it.

You're wrong.
Their rhetoric is often identical.
They actively mirror each other..
This is related to why many American fascists support Putin and don't want to help Ukraine.
Throwing the word fascist around for everyone you disagree with just dilutes the effect.
You really should stop that.

Well the Republican party which controls the house of representatives has an LGBT legislative agenda quite similar to fascist Putin. They have been very successful in state legislatures across the country in republican controlled states. Fascist demagogues need scapegoats.

Texas GOP adopts shockingly explicit anti-LGBTQ party platform
The state party calls homosexuality “an abnormal lifestyle choice" and accuses LGBTQ people of "grooming" children.
It's nothing like Putin's.
Stop being so dramatic.

Well such big events are great for tourism and the economy so it's a no brainer for all levels of Australian government to support them.
Also in the wake of a global fascistic backlash against LGBT civil rights in such places as Russia, Hungary, and the USA Australia is projecting good will soft power with such a parade. Similar to what Tel Aviv has been doing.
A fascistic backlash against LGBT civil rights in the USA? ????
Hyperbolic much?

Let's hope they do.
They appeared at the land next to our place at 10pm the other day. Scurried in like a load of rats and set fire to the field next to our house. No warning for us to move our cars, motorbikes, tractor, gasoline canisters etc. You can see how close it is as there is part of the garage roof in the photo. Lucky the wind direction didn't change. Deeply irresponsible.

The vaping with only nicotine entering my lungs improved my ability to breath almost immediately. I was able to quit vaping much more easily than any of my repeated attempts to stop cigarettes. Of course, this was spurred on by Thailand making it very difficult to obtain my vaping products. Today my respiratory health is tremendously improved and personally I owe it all to vaping. Once Thailand recognizes the number of income streams that vaping could establish for the Kingdom, I fully expect vaping will be legalized.
Same here. I switched from Cigarettes to Vapes, then quit vapes.
The good thing about Vapes is that you don't have to smoke a whole cigarette every time you need a puff or two. You can just have a single puff when you really need it and put it back in your pocket, making it easier to cut down on intake and eventually quit.
Banning them is insane. They should legalize them, tax them, and regulate the quality of the product to ensure it is as safe as possible.

"Deliberately antagonising the EU", are you one of those Sovereign Citizen types, you always knock your country, government, Royalty etc..?
An avid Guardian reader. So yes, always contempt for the Country, the Tories, the Working Classes, the Royal Family etc.
It comes with the territory.

I attended this in '98.
It was OK for 20 minutes. Got a bit bored of all the attention seekers. I ended up going to the pub and betting on the horses for the rest of the afternoon, won a couple of hundred bucks. It was a good afternoon.

Indeed. Sunak appears to have made another important step in disentangling NI from the EU's tentacles.
He's not there yet, but one step at a time. Give it another couple of years and then we go again. As the EU continues to weaken, it should be easier to remove NI completely from the tired old grip of the corrupt EU.

From the NYTimes
Ms. von der Leyen reiterated that the European Court of Justice “is the sole and ultimate arbiter of E.U. law.” She added that the court “will have the final say on E.U. law and single market issues.”
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/02/27/world/northern-ireland-brexit-trade-deal
I guess Britons ever ever ever shall be slaves.
Of course the ECJ is the sole arbiter of EU law. Kind of stating the obvious isn't it?
I'm not sure how you deduced from that statement that Britons ever shall be slaves, I guess you are unaware that Britain left the EU and is therefore no longer subject to the ECJ.
Of course, that's assuming you are aware that NI is not in Britain...????

Definitely an own goal. The view from behind the far post (at 0:15) clearly shows it was going a couple of metres wide.

Not a great performance but the win was comfortable. Never been a lover of the league cup, more an opportunity to show the Geordies whose boss!
Yeah, a bit fortunate with the goals I thought. Casemiro's looked like he pushed the Newcastle defender in the back (also touch and go on the offside) and Rashford's was a fortunate deflection but despite that, they probably deserved to win it overall.

I go to Cowboy sometimes. It's a good people watching spot and can be quite entertaining. I've been doing so for over a decade.
Never had serious issues like this. I've had girls buy themselves 2 drinks when I told them to get one, but that's about it. Nothing serious. When I tell them to take it off the bill, they sheepishly do.
I heard Patpong is worse, but I rarely go there so couldn't confirm. Never had issues there on the occasions I've been though...

Cisgender gay Boomer here.
I really don't understand those very high numbers.
They sound incredible.
I am very skeptical of them.
Bill Maher who is often obnoxious but also often right talks about the power of being trendy in youth.
I bet in 20 years that the Z LGBTQ numbers will be much lower.
The way its going gay bars will need to rebrand as just bars.
Pretty much what I said above. It's a bit of a trend.
I do understand why people such as yourself find it annoying. It's a bit like when that super cool band that only you and your mates knew about ends up on Top of the Pops with a load of chavs dancing to it.
Plus, the more LGBTQ there are, the less "special" it is.
If the trend continues then as a straight white male maybe I can be special by the age of 70? That would be awesome. I wouldn't even need to do anything. Just be special by the way i was born, same as the LGBTQ crew.
Ok maybe I wouldn't be special. But at least I wouldn't have all 3 of the cardinal sins. Straight, white AND male.????

But you can see the trend - in fewer than 10 years, support for the monarchy amongst 18-24 year olds has halved. That should worry even the most positive of monarchists.
But already a third of the UK either supports the abolition of the monarchy or is nonplussed. Hardly a tiny minority. I wonder what Wills has planned to ensure that his life of privilege at the tax payers' expense continues.
It's the least bad option IMO, and it would be churlish to ignore the money they bring in via tourism, the soft power around the world, the charity work etc.
The problem with it is that Harry could have been first and then we'd be facing a future with a complete plank as head of state. Fortunately, William was born first but I don't like the idea that we essentially rely on luck in terms of who gets the position. Having said that, if Harry was first born he might not have turned out to be such a jealous, spiteful, vindictive brat. He'd still have been intellectually challenged though.

Great news. A vile creature. Hopefully this sends a message to others in the industry.
Bad news for the Democrats though, he was one of their most prolific donors.

The poll that sky refers to is a poll of US residents. It speaks volumes, however, that anyone would rank an alleged pedophile higher than someone who is, in reality, no more than a bit gobby and over exposed.
Off topic, but there are no allegations of Paedophilia against Andrew. Paedophilia relates to sexually abusing children 13 or under. Having consensual sex with a 17 year old in London (there is no proof that he did) is neither illegal nor paedophilia.
23 minutes ago, RuamRudy said:Thankfully, we can rely on the young to see things with more objectivity.
"As recently as 2015, 69% of 18- to 24-year-olds said that Britain should remain a monarchy. By 2018 this had fallen to 47%, and in polls from 2020 onwards, prior to the Queen’s death, it has averaged at just 35%."
Have you anything to back to your suggestion that it's only a "tiny minority" who want to see the end this afront to democracy?
Again off topic. This thread is about Harry and Meghan and the SouthPark episode.
But yes, 67% of the UK support retaining the monarchy. I'd imagine that will rise further with the dignified way they have dealt with Harry and Harry's wife's vindictive campaign of lies.

It seems that those who subscribe to the 'sensibilities' of the Express and the Mail are more likely to get bent out of shape by them whereas those less fixated on returning Britain to a mythical status that it never actually held are less exercised by them.
I think what they are actually doing, however, is highlighting to more and more people of the total ridiculousness of the entire concept of royalty.
So well done Harry - more and more people are hopefully recognising that your clown family is long overdue being removed from their position as number one benefits claimants.
Back in reality, their approval rating is dropping like a stone. Obviously Brit haters support what they are trying to do but they are a tiny minority.

Whatever mate.
And anyway, what's your problem with cockneys?
Most people here don't have a problem with saying where they are from and who they support, unlike you.
No problem at all with Cockney's. Lived there for 3 years.
Most Mancunians I know are pretty decent blokes and enjoy a bit of banter without getting all spiteful and vindictive at the drop of a hat. Which is why I have my doubts about you.????

I cant see both city and Arsenal throwing it away, and we have played them twice so we cant take points off them I would say not this season, United could get second,
Yeah you could be right.
I can see Arsenal bottling it though. City probably won't, although you never know when Pep is going to introduce some bizarre new system in key games.

Also Leicester were frontrunner for most of the season. It wasn't like the big teams fell away and they rose up and won the league.
At least do a bit of research before you spout garbage.
I bet the goals scored and conceded are different as well.
They play at different grounds as well. Different coloured shirts.
You're right, a terrible comparison ????????
NI Protocol: 'Final talks' due between Rishi Sunak and Ursula von der Leyen

A great example of why we should have broken free from the cabal with no deal.
Like any abusive relationship it is best to make a clean break and sever all ties. Let the corrupt EU come crawling back over time.
Unfortunately we had a traitor amongst our ranks. Theresa May will not be remembered fondly. Lucky for her it's the 21st century.
