At 81 yoa in June, I feel quite gratified at being branded a "far right thug". In reality, I'm just an old man who loves his country, respects law and order, doesn't approve of uncontrolled immigration and would like his government to do something about it.

This quake was a mere shiver, how come that building collapsed when the other partly completed ones stood fast? I've been in quakes that have been quite strong with only minor damage to buildings. Something is not right about this.

... and the reason that we aren't doing as well as we could be after Brexit is because we're still wearing the chains of the ECHR.

If it wasn't for Pres Trump, the spams would have nothing to whinge about. It's endless listening to them drip.

Being a parent I can just imagine the joy of the parents of this boy when they found out that he was still alive. Made my day when I read that.

I see lots of posts saying that it's our responsibility, but no suggestions of how to obtain a TIN if we're refused one. It's not as though we're begging to be taxed here.

True, but what's to be done if they point blank refuse to issue a number, burgle the place and nick one?

Correct! Before you even think of fighting one local here, you have to assume that in very short time the odds will get a lot worse for you. Best to wai and walk away, unless you're Jack Reacher.

Only ten on to one? The Thais must be developing a sense of fair play at last.

Just taking a leaf out of the UK's notebook. Don't black women ever marry white men? There has to be something sinister in this.

Because of our woke police hierarchy and woke judges, Brits can commit crime with little consequences. Hardly suprising that they think they can do the same here. I disagree though that the spotlight should be just on us Brits, there's plenty of misbehaviour from other nationalities here ie Swiss, French Moroccans, Kuwaitis, Germans, Chinese and Russians etc. Warning: snowflakes close your eyes - A dose of Singapore's corporal punishment would sort them out.

There are some on here who will say that a bus full of people, overturning because of brake failure, happens every week in the west. By the way, it was probably brake failure because the driver wasn't using the back compression of driving in a lower gear to help with slowing down. The things overheated.

Even those who were mocked by the local DTA official for requesting a TIN to do exactly that and were sent packing I assume. You'd have to be mad to have another shot at it.

In my opinion if I have zero assessable income then it doesn't have to be assessed and if it doesn't need assessing, then I don't need to file. I'd just be making work for people. If they have doubts about me, they can call me in for an audit. I don't want to chance some jobsworth taxing me on income already taxed, which in any case is covered by the DTA.
