  1. The reason Farage is so popular is because of the boats and illegal immigration if the boats stopped Farage would be finished. He was one of the main instigators of Brexit so far I haven’t seen any advantages of Brexit only downsides and the country is poorer for it. When people see images of boats packed with young men of fighting age they are rightfully concerned and rightly or wrongly Farage is the only one who appears to be prepared to use any means to stop them. This country went through two world wars the young men didn’t leave their families behind and clear off expecting some other country to take them in and provide for them. They stayed and fought for their family’s their country and their freedom. These so called asylum seekers are men who have traveled through numerous safe countries where they could have applied for asylum if they were so concerned for their safety. I don't think there are many people in this country that objects to much to genuine asylum seekers for instance women and children from Ukraine or Afghans that worked with British forces in Afghanistan and they and their families are now in danger from the Taliban. What they don't want is boatloads of young men from Africa or wherever else they come from purely economic migrants that are only out for what they can get and we don't want them. If they arrive without the required visa or permission to enter this country they should be arrested sent to a detention centre and deported. Treat it as an emergency use special emergency powers to Ignore any attempt to use the courts to stop it or any other international court and use the army navy or air force to deport them. Personally I dont have any time for Farage and dont think he would be good for the country but he may be the only one who will stop the boats.
  2. Another RFK Jr inspired thread, those brain worms must be spreading.
  3. NATO will not get involved unless Israel directly attacks Spain which is so unlikely to be practicaly non existent.
  4. In any war you have to know which side you are on there is no flip flopping back and forth win or lose I stand firmly with Ukraine. I spent 22 years in the British Army then another 8 in the TA after that. We` always knew who the likely enemy was and that is mainly who we trained to fight it was Russia/Soviet Union. Do I believe she was tortured and killed yes it wouldn't matter if she wasn't Russia is the enemy.
  5. I've just read the transcript all I can say is if he really believes what he said he is either totally delusional or there really is a parallel universe somewhere out there where everything is the total opposite to here.
  6. All this attention on Thaksin makes me wonder what they are trying to sneak through or divert attention from unnoticed smoke and mirrors.
  7. And instead he got free board and lodging for 12 months (6 with good behavior) and a free flight home to Somalia.
  8. I've just watched the body cam footage of when he was arrested it looks like he doesn't even realise he's done anything wrong.
  9. I wonder does Dr. Donald realise how much the rest of the world are laughing at him. The sad part is there are still a few unfortunates that belive what he says
  10. This is not rewarding Hamas quite the opposite in fact. Hamas favourite saying is from the river to the sea in other words no Israel they dont want Israel to exist in any form. Recognising Palestine is a prelude to a two state solution meaning both an Israeli and Palestinian State both countries living side by side in peace. It would appear the current Israeli administration doesn't want a two state solution or Palestine to exist. There will never be a military solution it will only destroy peoples lives and bring generations of future terrorists against Israel and Jews perhaps even more ruthless and barbaric than Hamas. Only a political solution that recognises the right of both peoples to exist can bring peace.
  11. I dont see how Thailand needs a sub the gulf of Thailand averages 40 - 80 metres deep with 80 being the deepest (the sub is 9.2 mtrs high) making it very easy to detect from a plane or helicopter even if sitting on the bottom. Fast patrol boats would have been a better option more practicable and a lot cheaper.
  12. Drones in Poland and Romania war games and joint exercises in Belarus Mig 31s in Estonia. Too many coincidences there is no doubt in my mind Putin is pushing seeing how far he can go testing NATO's resolve and responce times. The biggest problem we have in Europe is Trump Putin knows he will back off. As long as Russia remains a threat there needs to be a European version of NATO without the US and a separate alliance with the US. If the biggest member of NATO and the only one to have invoked and benefitted from article 5 cannot be relied on perhaps NATO has run its course. Before Trump that would have been unthinkable. The old saying if you want peace prepare for war is as true today as ever.
  13. Next week I have an appointment for a pre-op assesment prior to my operation to repair a hernia and fortunately I won't have to pay an extortionate 30 baht either.
  14. Only 100 is this just episode one of the series?
  15. its a bit of luck the king could put him in the stocks so people could chuck rotten food eggs and all sorts of excrement at him to show their disgust. Generally speaking unlike America we dont tend to have snipers in the UK.
  16. What needs to happen is for the government to bring in emergency legislation that overides any legal challenges. While they are at it they could deport the human rights lawyers at the same time. Then start arresting anyone who arrives illegally and deport them, the boats would stop straight away.
  17. He's got about as much chance of getting the Nobel Prize as Putin or Netanyahu.
  18. Reading these story's makes me thankful for the NHS.
  19. I may be wrong but I dont recall flags being flown at half mast and Trump calling for the death penalty when that democrat senator and his wife were shot 17 times earlier this year.
  20. Too many guns in America no civilised country needs it.
  21. Faggots & Cornish pastys
