Sounds fair to me. Just a couple of rules. Rubber bullets, and you can't shoot at the head. Apart from that, carry on...

Cannabis is illegal in the UK. So the suggestion that of the populace still stunk of it (slight exaggeration I think), kind of highlights how stupid it would be to make it illegal in Thailand again. I've never slept so well as I have the past few months...

I'm trying to understand what you are writing. What is a casual link? Do you mean causal? It's tough to intrepret what you mean from what you write. Back to reality for a moment. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/sep/29/uk-economy-makes-stronger-recovery-from-pandemic-than-first-thought-germany-france We only left 3 years ago. We are going from strength to strength. Even the most optimistic Brexiteer was acknowledging it could take 5-10 years to see the benefits yet here we are 3 years later already out-performing Germany and France. It's gone better than we could have imagined. Vive La Brexit.

It is quite clear that German exports to the UK have dropped since Brexit. To suggest there is no causal link is laughable. https://www.ft.com/content/913c7e84-fd2d-4cb5-be0c-8cd865f37462 We warned this would happen. And now it has. The fact that you are trying to deflect with your whole "why are you celebrating it" spiel is just an attempt to ignore the facts. The EU took the UK for granted and then tried to punish us when we exercised our democratic right to leave. The EU has nobody to blame but itself.

https://www.export.org.uk/news/604569/UK-Germany-trade-falls-sharply-since-Brexit-vote-official-German-data-shows.htm I take no pleasure in Germany's decline but facts are facts. The anti Britain/anti Brexit mob on here certainly love pointing out any UK issues so it seems a bit hypocritical to suggest the Brits should keep quiet about the current issues in the EU. It's not just Germany BTW. https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/euro-zone-economy-likely-contracted-this-quarter-pmi-2023-09-22/

Why don't you ask a Trump supporter? You could do it on one of the Trump threads. Because this thread is about Biden's shady dealings...

Yes I know what the thread is about. And due to some of the very concerning incidents that I have already mentioned I believe it is a good idea to monitor what is being taught in schools. Teachers are not above the law, and if they choose to put their opinions in the public domain by posting on social media that is up to them. Nobody is asking 007 to secretly install cameras in their homes, they are putting it out their themselves for the world to see. Not very bright, but hey, neither are the ideologies many of them espouse so it shouldn't come as any great shock.

If the Wokies want to bang on about trans ideology they can do it to their hearts content for all I care. Just leave young, vulnerable, impressionable children out of it. Teachers need to be teaching science and maths in the classroom, not promoting the latest fashion of pretending things are what they are not.

Educators certainly need to be kept an eye on, given some of the nonsense being taught in British schools. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11917241/Damning-report-exposes-children-risk-gender-ideology-sweeping-schools.html

No over-reach there then ????. All this is simply paving the way for a European Army as the technocrats in Brussels march on towards a federal Europe, despite the wishes of the nation states. Thank god we left. A decision that is looking wiser with every passing month. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12491045/Germany-production-falls-recession-Brexit-Britain-rises.html

"Yet" being the operative word. I'm not concerned. I'm happy to wait, just as I did with Hunters laptop and Clinton's lies about Lewinski. The Democrats are experts at burying things, they have a lot of experience. As with the examples above, it will all rise to the surface eventually. The only question is when. Tick Tock.

It would appear that you are unable to refute any of the points I made.

She was so woefully inept at lying that a 5 year old would see through her. Plus there were recordings of her admitting to being the aggressor. #believeallwomen

Yes I believe that Biden will be found guilty. Time will tell. Your Jesus obsession is puzzling but not unusual for doomsday cultists.

Off topic. There's no shortage of Trump threads on AN.

What overheated belief?

Forget it. The courts in the West always side with women. Whether that is custody battles, divorce settlements, sexual abuse, common assault or whatever. #believeallwomen is a good example. The fact it was even "a thing" for a brief period is ridiculous. I say this as someone who has never been through a divorce battle, accused of rape etc. It's just an observation from multiple cases of friends, acquaintances etc.

Your religious bigotry is noted. Your predictions are interesting coming from a paid up member of the climate emergency doomsday cult.

Sounds like a repeat of the arguments about Hunters laptop prior to the previous election. It will all surface in the end. Probably too late for the average working class American who just wants a competent cognizant leader. As for arguments elsewhere, that individual doesn't have the might of the Democrat misinformation machine backing him up.

The only question is whether they can bury it until after the next election. It will surface in the end, just like Hunters laptop. History will not be kind to the crimes of the Biden's and their deluded supporters.

How many expats are forming gangs and engaging in street battles with police ? The expats I know live a quiet life. Bring money into the country and support Thai people. Nobody is objecting to legal immigrants who contribute.

What a shame. It used to be such a peaceful country before... well you know...

Yes its allegations from ex girlfriends from years ago as far as I know. Did he rape the receptionist? I think he just got his nob out. Stupid, but it happens in pubs and clubs all over the country on a saturday night. He also stripped off at Nelson's column if I recall correctly. He is a complete idiot. I dont think anyone is accusing him of raping strangers at knife point in dark alleys though... So save your pointless virtue signalling until you have established the facts.

As for your other points, it is deeply unfair that someone can have their reputation destroyed while the accuser's identity is kept secret. It should be the same rule for accused and accuser. Either both are kept secret, or both are revealed. Brand has had his life turned upside down based on nothing more than an accusation from an ex-girlfriend from years ago. Ridiculous.

They probably know he'll be out in 6 months, same as Thaksin will be.
