Oh dear. Another clueless post. She wasn't "joking". She never even tried to argue she was "joking". Where do you get your "news"? I would love to know, except I think I have a good idea already. If she was joking why did she plead guilty to "inciting racial hatred, specifically by publishing/distributing written material that was threatening or abusive with the intention of stirring up racial hatred?" How did that work out for her? Remind me please. Not a joke, she pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced accordingly. I know you are averse to reading things but here are the judge's sentencing remarks: https://crimeline.co.uk/lucy-connolly-sentencing-remarks-17-october-2024/ And here's the Court of Appeal's Judgement, read it at will. https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Lucy-Connolly-v-The-King.pdf Not a very funny joke, and she never even tried to pretend it was one - you made that bit up yourself. You have no idea, none at all. What is a forum laptop denier? I am typing this on a laptop, they exist. And I can pull up anyone I like if they disseminate lies. It is sad you don't have the ability to fact check what you read before you repeat it - you are part of the problem. But seriously what on earth are you wibbling on about laptop deniers? You make no sense.

Not baiting them, sorry, nice try.

Seriously, you have been pulled up several times about this. You are either too dense to read or too ignorant to want to understand. Probably both. If you genuinely believe what you write after having been corrected several times then there is no hope for you whatsoever - by continually posting the same fake nonsense you are deliberately trying to skew things. https://fullfact.org/online/naz-shah-diversity-quote-tweet/ It was a parody, it was not supposed to be taken literally, it was being ironic. But you knew that. It was up for eight minutes before she realised that knuckle draggers were twisting her meaning and she took it down. One group even quoted it and called her "a grooming gang apologist" which is amazing given her history of working against grooming gangs, unlike Yaxley-Lennon who only jumped on other people's bandwagons. From the link above: In 2020, Ms Shah successfully sued the campaigning group Leave.EU after it called her a “grooming gang apologist” in a 2019 Facebook post. The group apologised and accepted Ms Shah was a "vociferous campaigner for victims of grooming gangs", said their post was “ill-judged and untrue” and paid her damages for libel. Please, after the fourth time now, please read it, and please give it a rest - you're just making yourself look very very stupid. I get it, you don't understand who she is or what she does, you don't understand irony, you don't actually understand anything. Four times should be enough. And yes, I will continue to pull you up and expose your willful ignorance every single time I see you perpetuate this lie.

No. If you are referring to Imane Khelif then you are completely wrong - and the narrative was twisted so people like you believe she was identified as a male in her passport. She was born as a female, grew up as a female, lived as a female, is identified as female in her passport, and is a female (even if a very butch looking one). Just a bunch of right wing nutjobs who are obsessed with transgenders did a nasty hatchet job on her. Even Trump jumped on which is shameful, but nothing is beneath him. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/articles/c8rm7kxe8klo And Angela Carini who refused to shake her hand after she quit their bout later apologised and accepted she is a woman and she would "embrace her" if they meet again. Storm in a teacup led by right wing transgender-obsessed lunatics, a few of whom post on this board.

Ok you've gone off on a weird tangent and made up a "left" fantasy. Oh, and Trump called the US a failing nation and said it's being laughed at by the world. If only he knew how much closer he would take it to a completely failed nation just two years later and how it is now genuinely a laughing stock. But to give him credit you have to admire his prescience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGDPtpWmMyo I thought you said you were a centrist, no? Nope, never said that.

Nonsense. I've been critical of some foreign policy but never hated America. I think you have had a few decent presidents on the global stage, Obama for one. I was critical of some of his actions, but in general he was an excellent ambassador. Why you try to bundle "the left" in to all thinking the same thing about everything I have no idea.

Oh right, of course. Genius! Yawn.

You seem to be in favour of a trade or even a literal war so I am asking you what you have to gain from one. And dispense with the childish "you must love Iran" jibes, they are really silly. Last chance to give an adult answer - explain how America wins in a trade war.

Zzzzzzzz. Suvarnabhumi is not bad. It's not amazing, it is not terrible, it's decent. And it is always improving so moving up three places is fair. The ARL is cheap and good. The taxis used to be a nightmare, they have been good for a long time and well organised. Plenty of F&B options: cheap by international standards, not cheap by Thai standards. Check in is usually quick these days, especially if you check in online and then use the kiosks. Outgoing security is very fast, used to be slow. Outgoing immigration is very fast with the e-gates, used to be very slow. Technology is fine - you can register for facial recognition and then no need to present passport and boarding pass after immigration. Constant incremental improvements and they deserve credit. It feels a bit grubby in places, especially the floor tiles and some of the toilets, but generally it is ok. The new satellite concourse is nice. For a massive airport it is decent, much better than Heathrow for example - both incoming and outgoing. But I get it, some people just need to moan.

Exaplain how America wins in a trade war.

Again nothing intelligent, no debate.

Again nothing intelligent, no debate. Why do you want the entire continent of Europe to have no petrol?

You have a warped view of reality, you really do. A warped reality of America's strength or importance, a warped reality of anything else in the world, a warped view of humanity. You see the world as a video game, it is pathetic. I'll bow out now.

Not joining in the intelligent adult discussion then. No points to make. Got it.

As did I. What a stupid statement. Pretty sure they sell fuel to people who ask for it if they have fuel to sell.

As am I of your lack of intelligent response. I am here for debate - off you go, say something intelligent or reasoned and I can do the same. Then we have a discussion, it is how grown up adults talk about issues. Lets try it again and see if you can join in with an adult discussion. Why do you want the entire continent of Europe to have no petrol?

Ok, so just four year old playground stuff. Thank you, bye bye.

So no argument or intelligent debate then, as I expected. If you want to try again I am open to a debate, but if you just go all MAGA then never mind. Anything?

Why? Any rational thought process behind that that you would would like to discuss?

Ok, you are full on cult. You have no idea of the wider world and believe whatever you are told. And think that makes you tough. Genuinely intelligent and tough leaders have abandoned you, apart from the ethnic cleansers and journalist killers of Israel - you must feel tough and proud. Here is a genuinely tough person who has more balls than anyone on this forum, who was targetted for death for reporting the brutalities of Israel, just like hundreds or thousands of others. https://x.com/SweeneySteve/status/2034700333000331742 Proud? Have a look at a real man with real courage. No one in your government can come close. https://x.com/SweeneySteve And why do you say I must support Iran and wish death on Americans? It is the argument of a four year old. I don't hate your country, I hate your leadership and the morons who voted for it and who continue to support their violence and their irrational terrorist behaviour. You are a pariah state and if you support that you don't understand hypocrisy.

Yep. it is affecting real people in real ways and causing real hardship. Yet @Yagoda thinks it is great - he is willing to let those people suffer because that is what Trump, his hero, wants. I hope people who support this suffer too, I hope they suffer more.

"Board members" with a capital "B"? Are you on the board of AN? And not sure where your leap to cancer comes from. You support this war, you support Trump, the rest of the world is suffering huge inconvenience because of it and I hope his supporters are hugely inconvenienced by it too - support what you like, suffer the consequences. People are dying from the consequences, real humans with real lives and real families. You wish destruction on Iran, Lebanon, and innocent people are dying. When even Republicans are turning against Trump now and all of the US's traditional allies have turned their back, it is not because his plan is too smart for them. Support it, suffer. Sadly everyone else has to suffer too, many of them with their lives. I reiterate, I hope you have somewhere important to go and can't get petrol.

I really hope @riclag and @Yagoda have somewhere important to go and can't get petrol. That would be sweet justice.

FWIW I went to a PTT in Bangkok today. No limits, I filled up with 95, no problem. They were short on diesel though. Not that I have anything that runs on diesel, just saw the signs.

Nah, that is you and riclag.
