Thaksin had a wonderful opportunity to do something positive for Thailand, and himself. Unfortunately, he squandered it due to his greed and will live out his days in exile. He ruined it all, for money he didn't even need. The parable of the frog and the scorpion describes the situation perfectly. He's still 100x better than Prayut though.

The French have pretty much no control of their borders. Which is why they have such a massive problem with illegal immigrants coming into France from other EU countries (illegal immigrants entering Greece, Italy, Turkey from non EU countries then easily moving across borders into France) that they then shamefully facilitate putting onto unseaworthy boats bound for Britain, many of whom die during the crossing. Playing childish games by making it difficult and time consuming for Britons to legally enter France is neither clever nor symbolic of border control. I'm not the least surprised you take the French side in these shameful practices though.

Insurrection? lol. It was a riot by a few loons. Anyway, ignoring the hyperbole, what has Biden done that has come close to what Trump may or may not have done? Well he totally screwed up the troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, sending the region into chaos and pretty much reinstating the Taliban as leaders while simultaneously arming them to the teeth with US weapons that were left behind. So there's that...

It's sad that you think it has to be one or the other. The US deserves better than Biden or Trump. It's like deciding whether to be bitten by a Python (Trump, not pleasant but you can survive) or a Viper (Biden, looks less threatening but actually deadly). Of course Trump is less decrepit than Biden but they are both substandard. Both woeful in fact. A pathetic state of affairs for what used to be a good country. Sad to watch for a Brit like me who grew up admiring the USA.

This thread is about the government, and as far as I am aware Trump is not in government. But seeing as you mentioned it, compared to Hunter Biden? Yes, I'd say they look pretty good by comparison. But who wouldn't? That's a pretty low bar the Biden's have set.

You make it sound like you have to choose one or another. There is some centre ground, you know? But I guess it's easier to label anyone who doesn't agree with your Progressive mindset a Fascist... Sad.

Nobody cares about Biden and his silly story that he is Irish. It's the same as all his old stories like the Mandela rubbish he comes out with. Given his state of mind he probably believes it himself at this point. We didn't have a trade deal with the US when we were in the EU. We aren't desperate for one now. Especially if he thinks he can use that as a carrot for ordering us around. Did he not see how we reacted when the EU tried to do use trade to order us around? We told them to do one, pronto. We'll do the same with the US. Washington doesn't tell London what to do. Except in your anti UK mind.

Whilst I cannot support such statements, I have to say that if Biden and the Progressives were 'leading' (ruining) my country I'd probably be pretty angry as well. The fact that such an incompetent and senile man from such a disgraceful family can be voted into such a position of power is mind blowing.
