The Official Manchester United Thread
Very fortunate to get a win over Wolves, especially with the blatant penalty for Wolves that they inexplicably refused to check VAR for. Seriously, what is the point of putting up with all the negative aspects of VAR when they still get massive decisions like that wrong by refusing to even check it?

Thailand’s baht leads Asian currency downturn amid China’s economic worry
Exactly. It won't fall much further as the BOT won't allow it to. The last thing they want is a collapse like the late 90's.

'You're kind of raised to hate tourists': Maui fires fan tensions on Hawaiian island
Sounds like you're in the wrong job if you resent the tourists so much. The economy on Maui would collapse without tourism. You're going to need it now more than ever so maybe an adjustment in attitude is in order.

Trump: Biden’s response to Maui fires ‘disgraceful’
Give him a break, Joe has other things occupying his time like Hunter, his lovely, sweet but often misunderstood son and associated business deals that had absolutely nothing to do with Joe being POTUS. Jeez, he can’t comment on everything.

Public support for new Brexit referendum revealed
I suggest we revisit the polls on how people would vote before the actual vote in 2016 before we take this too seriously. They all predicted Remain. Hence the shock and horror on the face of the “totally unbiased” BBC pundits when the result came through. Even if we voted to rejoin I doubt the EU would be interested. They have enough problems such as their powerhouse economy Germany being in recession and the corruption scandal. Last thing they need is Farage and co. ruining their cozy setup. Nah, we’re out of the corrupt federalist project. Thank goodness.

'Don't Ask Why': South Korea grapples with back-to-back 'Mudjima' stabbings
Luckily South Korea has a sensible and strict immigration policy so they only have to worry about the home grown nutters who are thankfully quite rare, hence this being so shocking to S. Koreans. *Off topic deflection comments edited out*

Special counsel to investigate President Biden's son Hunter
Lock the degenerate up. He has been using his father’s position to escape jail for far too long. Just like my parents said, don’t blame the children blame the parents. What a family.

Trump unleashes on Biden as legal problems mount
He is playing to an audience. An audience that was created long before Trump entered politics. A bit of self reflection might be appropriate.

I can't help but feel Trump could be a bit more tactful during his critiques.

Forty-one migrants die in shipwreck off Lampedusa
Terrible news. Another good reason to stop this illegal immigration and the gangs who control it. Not sure Diane Abbott really thought her tweet through... I've edited out the offensive language. What a woman...

2023 Triumph Speed 400 single
But you stated they are no longer made there. I was correcting you. Nothing to do with Brexit. Manufacturing in the UK has been in decline for years. It's a service based economy since long before Brexit. Yes. Like Triumph, R&D is in the UK, but unless you want the UK workforce to work for 10 dollars a day then it's cheaper to manufacture in Asia. It's cheaper. End of. I'd rather have a bike made in Europe like my 899 or Japan like my MT09, but Thai made Triumph's are still very good build quality. I personally wouldn't buy a Chinese made vehicle for both ethical and quality reasons.

GOP memo argues direct payments to President Biden not needed to show corruption
Indeed. Despite your baiting, I remain a fan of neither Trump nor Biden. I know it takes some posters a little longer than others to realize that such a position is possible, so stick with it - determination can overcome limitation. Yep. And Biden's.

It all seems to be seeping out slowly. Quite a while until the next election. Can the Dems keep sweeping water up the slope that long? Who knows, will be interesting for a neutral observer like me for sure.

Man who threatened Biden shot dead in FBI raid in Utah
I didn't say he was. I said I hope he wasn't. I haven't seen enough details yet to conclude either way but please do not misrepresent what I said.

Maybe you could put that in your signature. It would reduce your need to post by around 80% ????.

Man who threatened Biden shot dead in FBI raid in Utah
Yes - a stupid post. I've had people threaten to kill me. I didn't execute them in their home. Maybe the guy was suffering with mental illness. Maybe he shot at police. Lots of possibilities out there so let's wait for the facts to emerge. I'm just stating that I hope he wasn't executed JUST for posting on FB. I'd like to think we haven't reached that stage just yet, even if he had a red cap on.

OK. So we can conclude they are in fact still made in the UK. Also in Thailand, Brazil and India (in partnership with Bajaj).

Yes, some bikes are still made in Hinckley. Mainly the premium models like the Rocket3. And I don't believe "any" bikes are made in Indonesia. I guess they'll update the website to include India when the 400 is commercially available.

To be fair, I think a lot on the extreme left would support summary executions for anyone wearing a MAGA hat.???? It reminds me of the lefty nurse in the UK who said anyone who voted Tory should be refused life saving treatment. #bekind

Man who threatened Biden shot dead in FBI raid in Utah
Shot to death in his own home for making a stupid post on FaceBook? I certainly hope he did a bit more than that to be executed by the state in his own home.

Patience Grasshopper. These things have a tendency to surface in the end, it's just a case of how deep they buried it.

I doubt even Joe Biden is stupid enough to have the payments go to him directly. Quite smart having it go through Hunter. Kind of the equivalent of Thai politicians with maids with Millions of Baht in their bank accounts and several properties in prime downtown Bangkok. I'm actually seeing more and more similarities between Thai and US politics since Biden came in, and not due to Thai politics improving. Obviously it would be better if his son wasn't a crack addict, but still safer than going to his own account directly. Let's hope he can bury any asset transfers from Hunter to himself until after the next election, like they did with the laptop.
