    You could appeal the denial of entry. They have to respond to it within 7 days.

    It would mean staying in detention until decided.

    What does the paper they want you to sign state as the reason for denial of entry.

     

    Every country has the right to accept or deny entry without need to give an explanation

    A stay of more than 180 days would in my EU country require to have a work permit or other reason than "tourism" to become resident / the names of our own nationals can be erased from the registers of residence if they stay out of our country for more than 180 days a year.

    The Clintons started five wars and Bill almost initiated a nuclear war with Russia at Pristina. Fortunately, the British commander in Kosovo told Wes Clark, Clinton's Nato commander, that he wasn't going to start World War III for him.  And, then, there's Libya.  

     

    The war in Libya was started by Europeans (France, UK and Italy) after a telephone call from Benghazi French millionaire Bernard Henry Levy to President Sarkozy that Qaddafi's army was preparing a great massacre. The US then participated "leading from the back"

    Here are the options :

    a) full force
    - the overthrow of dictator Saddam Hussein with full force US army created chaos which is still going on
    b/ half force
    - the overthrow of dictator Qaddafi was done at the initiative of France (a telephone call from Benghazi by millionaire Bernard Henry Levy to President Sarkozy to warn that Qaddafi was close to making a great massacre...the USA supported taking a "leadership from the back"...but the chaos it created is still going on
    c) no force
    - the non intervention by the US to overthrow dictator Al Assad created a chaos which is still going on

    Give it a rest. Lying  doesn't change what  happened. Libya was a France-Italy-UK   initiated regime change. In case you missed it, Libya was  causing serious problems for the Europeans by facilitating the  tens of thousands of economic migrants. Also,  Italy was dependent upon Libya's oil. The USa wanted  to stay out of Libya. Clinton didn't want to participate.

     

    Is it possible that somebody understands what really triggered the downfall of Qaddafi?  It was a telephone call from left wing millionaire Bernard Henry Levy from Benghazi to French President Sakozy which triggered immediate intervention to stop Qaddafi making a massacre in Benghazi.

    Let us face it :

    - in Iraq a dictator was overthrown with full scale US intervention...followed by chaos which still continues

    - in Libya a dictator was overthrown by Europeans with the US "leading from the back"...followed by chaos which still continues

    - in Syria a dictator was NOT overthrown because the US did not intervene  ....followed by chaos which still continues

    Pick your choice !

  4. My experience in China and Vietnam has learned me that it takes minimum 10 and probably 20 years to rewire the human brain after growing up and become adult in a centrally planned economy.

    In such kind of economy you only do what you are instructed : when you dare to take initiatives and it works the honor is for your boss and when it does not work the blame if for you...it means to do nothing is the safest way.

    We will see how long it takes in Myanmar to recover from 50 years centrally planned economy.

    I have True Visions with a gold package and about all the channels are back on. Some channels from True are interrupted when all the Thai channels are.

     

     

    for news CNN and BBC are available but strangely enough not channel 788 which broadcasts French speaking channels from government owned broadcasters in France, Switzerland, Canada and Belgium

    Have you heard the one about the porn star and the old man?

     

    http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/ex-porn-star-ditches-adult-9152174

     

    Many Thai women think the Farlang is their ticket to a life of ease and plenty.

     

    the same thinking must have gone through the head of the Thai woman who was compared to Cinderella after she married a billionaire dream prince ...but he probably forgot to tell her that earlier he was sued in an American court by a girl friend to whom he transferred his HIV condition...

    Both sides should have pulled out or better yet never got involved with massive amounts of troops and support in that area of the world in the first place. Assad should just have been assassinated right away. There may have been a chance for a lot less death but who knows maybe the war-mongers just want deaths of anyone who could be an enemy someday. Anyways, getting rid of the source of the problem by eliminating the leaders and those around them is far better for the common man in my view. Yes, other leaders would potentially be threatened but that might make those who seek to lead nations a bit more willing to die for their nation rather than as it is now where these leaders are happy to send troops to die in their place.

     

    You think the murder of Assad would have been a solution ?  Did the murder of Libyan leader Qaddafi bring a solution or total and endless chaos?

    Does anyone have an email address that I might complain to True about their censoring BBC World as soon as an item about Thailand comes on. True have admitted that this is their own decision and nothing to do with the government.

    At the same time I will cancel my subscription that I've had since the days of U.B.C.

     

    Email address of as senior person at TrueVisions if possible please

     

    I cannot understand why CNN and BBC (although censored) have been made available but TV5 is still totally off the air : TV5 is a combination of French speaking government owned channels from France, Belgium, Switzerland and Canada...what harm can they do? Also the number of French speakers in Thailand must be a small one.

    I am severely disappointed I could not follow the national news from Canada and Belgium about the collapse of the trade deal between Canada and the EU

    The fighting also forced another 200,000 people to flee Hungary, most of them through Austria.

    Unquote

     

    I was at that time 11 years old and I remember this drama despite the absence of TV because in my primary school we had 4 Hungarian boys sent to freedom by their parents to be adopted in Belgium.

    Regretfully many Hungarians of 2016 do not feel the same solidarity with the victims of war atrocities coming from Syria.
