    I have recently been very impressed with rapidly rising wind power results. Bring back the solar support and install some AGRs to provide nuclear until fusion comes on 50 years from now. How did we lose our own nuclear industry? I must read up on that. Coal is almost finished, then oil, then combined cycle (that's gas for our new friend) Frakking is not worth the risk and environmental damage. Fossil furs wil soon be history.

    Fossil fuels will also be history.  Agreed, can't be soon enough Grouse!

  2. No-one know the future, except to say that it is uncertain. 
    In the present case, the majority of voters have chosen
    more uncertainty over less uncertainty. They have chosen
    to abandon the known to explore beyond the edge of the
    map. 'There be dragons', some say. But such exploration
    is often required for growth, and certainly, without
    exploration, mankind would have 'remained' cave dwellers.
    Lots of good debate here, but, in the end, its all down
    to the human spirit and ingenuity, which is best when
    unfettered, as when you all left home and made good
    by yourselves.
    Think of Jefferson, Ghandi, etc what would they do
    with the brexit problem?

    The USD, in good shape or bad shape compared to the Thai Baht.

    ell in the USA, there was a housing crisis. Has that been fixed or can

    your still buy a house, no moey down, etc. Move out of Mom and Dads basement

    with your 2 ten dollar an hour jobs at MacDonalds into a 200 thousand dollar house, where

    you discover stuff called. Mortgage, Utility bills, yes the Power, Gas or oil, and fees galore for

    getting these services to your place. You find out that air conditioning or heat is not free.

    you let the house go and move back to the basement.  Hmmm. is that why the USA is

    still in the soup financially? The government is still getting paid big wages for lots of

    rich people, such as the President and his family, all the Governers and their families,

    the local mayors and councillers and their families. How about the Military of the USA and

    all of its costs, or the 2 B747 that fly everytime the President goes somewhere?

    Geezer

    Welcome to the Matrix.

    You seem to be confusing something being recorded as an incident with something being recorded as a crime - they are not the same.


    Sent from my iPad using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app

    Home Office rules disagree with you, 'All reports of incidents, whether from victims, witnesses or third parties and whether crime related or not, will, unless immediately recorded as a crime, result in the registration of an auditable incident report by the police'.

    Right, so that is why criticism of authorities can land you in prison in almost every ASEAN nation but is protected free speech throughout Europe.

     

    Doh!

    You have the illusion of free speech.

    The most recent example was Amber Rudd, the Home Secretary, speaking at the Conservative Party Conference last October. She called for firms to record how many foreign workers they employ to help ensure they are …

    “not taking jobs British people could do”.

    Sadly for her, some virtue-signalling, attention seeking progressive liberal academic with little else to do, reported her for hate speech, and it was recorded as a hate incident.         Doh! Doh!

    How do you help a friend who's got rat-arsed, told his boss to stick his job where the sun don't shine, and is about to embark of a future career selling innovative jams to the world  ? Me, I'd tell him to swallow his pride and get the job back, but maybe you a jam marketing expert?

     

    Like I said if it happens, it happens. I think it's wrong, like duel pricing in Thailand, but I can't stop it. I won't help it though. as my conscience  would not be clear after.   

    If the jam is innovative, with the right marketing, it will sell

    to the WORLD,..Your own key word there.   I'd have a go at that.

    I would not get 'rat-arsed' given that opportunity.

    Duel pricing is business making profit where it can.
