  1. Just imagine an ex president going around boasting about grabbing women by their p***y. Who would believe that if it were not true?
  2. But it is saved by the fact that when expats leave the UK, they are saving the country money by NOT using the NHS, the dental system, they do NOT get free medicine, they do NOT get the pension updates and the myriad other "free" things that UK pensioners receive. They ARE however taxed on their income if it exceeds GBP 12,500 wherever they live in the world. After 15 years out of the UK they are no longer allowed to vote. They have NO MP representatives after that point. They get to fill in a certificate of life form to fill in every 2 or 3 years and that is at their own expense. It seems that soon if they live offshore the UK banks will close their accounts even if they have had the accounts for decades. If they need a passport replacing they MUST go through the agency the government has designated and pay extra for the "privilege" of doing so. All the "little things" that you conveniently omit to mention in your biased post. I am sure that there are a few or even many things that I have forgotten
  3. And how many of the 1,500 Hamas "fighters' were women and children? Has there been any independent confirmation that all 1,500 people were Hamas. I try not to simply jump to any conclusion based on one "independent" report from one newspaper.
  4. You may need an awfully big cargo aircraft and some yuge cargo parachutes for that to happen. ????????
  5. I wonder how long it will be in their "safe" hands?
  6. So prove me wrong then and tell us all which generals were punished for holding a military coup? you quoted Manas Kongpaen. I agve you a link that said he was NOT convicted on the grounds of committing a military coup, but on different grounds. Manas Kongpan (1956 – 2 June 2021) was a Thai convicted human trafficker and military commander. From 2008 to 2015, he led the Thai army's policies towards Rohingya refugees, before being arrested on multiple charges, including ordering refugees to be marooned at sea without any means of survival and extorting ransoms from families of refugees.[1][2] In 2017, he was convicted of the charges, and served the rest of this life in prison. You disagree with this, so can you show me a link to prove that he was convicted of holding or taking part in a military coup?
  7. Please define Palestinian Arabs in the contents of those years you have mentioned.
  8. https://www.britannica.com/place/Palestine Palestine, area of the eastern Mediterranean region, comprising parts of modern Israel and the Palestinian territories of the Gaza Strip (along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea) and the West Bank (west of the Jordan River). The term Palestine has been associated variously and sometimes controversially with this small region, which some have asserted also includes Jordan. Both the geographic area designated by the name and the political status of it have changed over the course of some three millennia. The region (or at least a part of it) is also known as the Holy Land and is held sacred among Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Since the 20th century it has been the object of conflicting claims of Jewish and Arab national movements, and the conflict has led to prolonged violence and, in several instances, open warfare. The word Palestine derives from Philistia, the name given by Greek writers to the land of the Philistines, who in the 12th century BCE occupied a small pocket of land on the southern coast, between modern Tel Aviv–Yafo and Gaza. The name was revived by the Romans in the 2nd century CE in “Syria Palaestina,” designating the southern portion of the province of Syria, and made its way thence into Arabic, where it has been used to describe the region at least since the early Islamic era. After Roman times the name had no official status until after World War I and the end of rule by the Ottoman Empire, when it was adopted for one of the regions mandated to Great Britain; in addition to an area roughly comprising present-day Israel and the West Bank, the mandate included the territory east of the Jordan River now constituting the Hashimite Kingdom of Jordan, which Britain placed under an administration separate from that of Palestine immediately after receiving the mandate for the territory. Palestine seems to have been around for about 1200 years BCE, BCE = Common Era (CE) and Before the Common Era (BCE) are year notations for the Gregorian calendar the world's most widely used calendar era.
  9. I try to stay as far as I can away from ANY religion as IMHO as I don't trust or believe in religion since I was 18, and I am 79 now. If you need to believe in something, believe in dogs. Most dogs are loyal, friendly, trusting and loving. The polar opposite of religion and religious leaders worldwide.
  10. Sadly, it seems that the Israeli government is far worse than that.
  11. Shame on Egypt? How about shame on the Israeli governments over the decades for all their attempts at genocide and the absolutely complete control over a population who are fighting to regain what they once had. their own country which was, and still is, being stolen from them on a daily basis. An even bigger shame on the western countries who support Israel and have done for decades. And an even bigger shame on the warmongering governments of Israel for doing it coldly, deliberately and with malice aforethought Every living member of the Knesset should stand before the international court in the Hague, where the Germans stood in the courtroom at Nuremberg, and be accused of war crimes and genocide.
  12. Sadly for the USA, and the world there are millions of them.
  13. What a complete contrast to EX president Trump. Mr Biden met voluntarily with Special Counsel Robert Hur at the White House over two days, officials said. Mr Hur was appointed after a separate investigation was launched into secret documents found at Donald Trump's home. Mr Biden has not been charged with any crime. It is not unusual for presidents to be interviewed by investigators. Ian Sams, a spokesman for Mr Biden, said in a statement that the interview was conducted over the course of Sunday and Monday. It was personally carried out by Mr Hur, who was chosen by US Attorney General Merrick Garland to lead the investigation.
  14. But quote “I can’t imagine how anybody who’s Jewish or anybody who loves Israel — and frankly, the evangelicals just love Israel" But apart from Trump (who IMHO has no idea what the plot was anyway), who says that everybody loves Israel. Billions of people across the world don't even care about Israel or its people.
  15. However, Shinapat Kitlertsiriwattana, is NOT a member of the establishment, but simply one of Prayuth's political party, who couldn't even win the seat he stood for in Chiang Mai.
  16. And it has absolutely NOTHING to do with Shinapat Kitlertsiriwattana, former UTN candidate for Chiang Mai’s Constituency, who was so popular in Chiang Mai, that he couldn't even get elected.
  17. IMHO if Thais actually do physically protest they will be arrested and charged with LM under section 112. Again IMHO, there needs to be at least a million people on the streets to do so. To get that many it will need to be very well organised, because if they are caught before it happens, then they will be arrested and charged with LM under section 112. In addition they will be charged with computer crimes and anything else that the police can hang on them.
  18. If you want to split hairs, then go for it. But the FACT remains that NO military general has EVER been punished, jailed, fined, moved to an inactive position for partaking in a military coup.
  19. More amateur deflection. Obviously you don't know either. So why did you post in the first place?
  20. Have you ever heard of the Irgun or Haganah. They were 2 Jewish terrorist organisations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irgun It was a Zionist paramilitary organization that operated in Mandate Palestine and then Israel between 1931 and 1948. It was an offshoot of the older and larger Jewish paramilitary organization Haganah (Hebrew: Hebrew: הגנה, Defence).[1] The Irgun has been viewed as a terrorist organization or organization which carried out terrorist acts.[2][3][4][5] The Irgun policy was based on what was then called Revisionist Zionism founded by Ze'ev Jabotinsky. According to Howard Sachar, "The policy of the new organization was based squarely on Jabotinsky's teachings: every Jew had the right to enter Palestine; only active retaliation would deter the Arabs; only Jewish armed force would ensure the Jewish state".[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haganah Haganah (Hebrew: הַהֲגָנָה ha-Ganah, lit. 'The Defense') was the main Zionist paramilitary organization that operated for the Yishuv in the British Mandate for Palestine.[2] It was founded in 1920 to defend the Yishuv's presence in the region, and was formally disbanded in 1948, when it became the core force integrated into the Israel Defense Forces shortly after the Israeli Declaration of Independence.
  21. Now how would I know where the money came from, how it was used and who used it? You obviously have NO idea at all. If you REALLY need to know, why don't YOU search for the answer yourself. YOU are claiming it came from Iran and I gave you some links to search, so do it. Very poor at deflection, especially as it was YOUR post I was answering.
