Nothing to do with your orange hero. Simply a retaliatory measure after Canada placed tariffs on Chinese steel, aluminium and cars. These were enacted on 1st October last year by the way. 100% import duty has been placed on rapeseed oil, oil cakes and peas only. And to think you are cheering for trade wars. I hope your country retreats up its own backside and you can all cheer USA! USA! USA! to your heart's content and no one will be able to hear you.

Another cult member joins the fun. Childish, uneducated nonsense posts. Maybe put your banko down and do some independent research in to things. Have you even heard of Yugoslavia?

And you just believe it because he said it. I see. That's like saying "Noah's Ark must be true because it's in the bible".

People obviously think you are a lunatic or deranged so they'll be giving you a wide berth.

Just Thai blaming based on no knowledge. This flight just returned to the UK with hydraulic issues when it was just 300 miles from the coast of N America. Standard preceedure to return to home base if possible even though it is often more expensive to do so. https://www.businessinsider.com/passengers-spent-8-hours-transatlantic-flight-turned-around-virgin-atlantic-2025-3

Remember the pathetic "Freedom Fries"???

Hi all, Background (if it is relevant): I am in my 30th year in Thailand. 29 of them were spent working here for various Thai and foreign companies, always with correct visa and work permits. Last year I quit my job and moved to a non-O based on marriage as I have a Thai wife and two kids. My extension expires in July. Last year I registered a company in the UK (50% shareholder). Within the next 12 months or so we plan on setting up a 100% foreign owned Thai entity under BOI as a Thai branch of the same business at which point I would go back to non B and WP. Although not earning money here currently and just living off savings I would technically be doing remote work for a UK company over the coming months even though it's literally just sitting at home using my laptop for a couple of hours a day - emailing clients, a few calls here and there. However I would like to be on the correct visa for doing this. Would this be a DTV? Or should I just extend my non O for another year and wait to have a company registered here? I am not sure what is best even after reading a lot about it, hence asking the experts here. I guess a non O extension is simpler, but a DTV would be technically the better visa for sitting at home doing emails? And as it's for five years it takes the pressure off setting doing the BOI application so I can do it at my own pace? I have done BOI a couple of times before and know how long it can take. Thanks for any advice.

No, nobody gets a stamp. There aren't any inspection desks or officers - there's nobody to ask - you just go through security and then you are in the departure area. This is only in airports though. We have exited via Eurostar before and there is a border control check and non UK people get a stamp (if I remember correctly), but not at airports.

I honestly don't see him calling for the president to be assassinated at all.

I'm not searching for it as I didn't claim it existed. I probably look at 5% of the threads on here as most of them are tosh. If you don't post a link to someone calling for an assassination then that's up to you. No skin off my nose, or ear, or oversized mouth.

No you didn't. There is no post on here calling for him to be assassinated. If there is, report it. But there isn't. I saw one post comparing the size of his mouth to his ear but that was hardly calling for his assassination. Can you link to the post? If it is calling for assassination I'll report it for you.

Nothing happens, he gets stamped in as has already been answered. I was just replying to a comment about how not having exit stamps is nothing to worry about these days due to automation and confirming that with an example.

Yep. In most airports in the UK now there isn't any outgoing passport control whatsoever - manual or automated. Been like that for years.

Not so. Thailand is paying for this, not China. China is lending experience, and providing design, signalling and trains, but Thailand is not borrowing money from China for it.

Not only that but there is a huge institution and government apparatus to prevent this kind of thing. Just like Trump shoots his mouth off saying he's placing sanctions on XYZ country.........then backs down. And he's going to take Canada and Greenland.......then backs down. Going to build a wall and make Mexico pay......then backs down. He says what his cult followers want to hear then he is pulled back in by - thankfully - sensible people who can tell him what the consequences will actually be. I also love the fact that @Yellowtail, @Yagoda and the like berate Zelinsky for negotiating in front of the cameras (he wasn't) and say this is poor diplomacy and he's just a failed actor etc, but they think it's fine for Trump to come out in public press conferences and say he's claiming Greenland, Canada, the Panama Canal, he is placing sanctions on his allies, all without talking to any of those leaders or using, you know, diplomacy that is behind closed doors. And now he's having to backtrack. Embarrassing and delicious to watch. The hypocrisy is so massive amongst his faithful.

Wow, maybe Trump isn't a complete idiot - there's a huge backlash against Musk, and smart decision to rein him in a bit. Musk's ego is out of control. If even Trump (the ego of egos) can possibly see that now it says a lot.

Do you actually follow him on Twitter? Please tell me you do. If you do you can not not know. I followed him for years as I respected his achievements with Tesla, SpaceX etc. But last year I had to unfollow him as he would flood my feed with nonsense, constantly reposting false memes and faked rubbish. Deepfake videos of Kamala Harris. Tweeting that the UK is building detainment camps in the Falklands for British rioters. So many electoral lies too (no, I'm not going through his thousands of posts to find them). Mass election fraud in Michigan (easily explained by election officials), but Musk's lie got 62 million views, the correction got only 63,000 so the lies get bigger and bigger. Literally hundreds and hundreds of misleading or false tweets, often just retweets of someone else's lies with no checking. And this rubbish goes out to his 200 million followers who then believe it and retweet it, and the cycle perpetuates. My internet life has become much better since I unfollowed him.

Thanks Mr Cliche. "Legacy Media" blah blah blah. I dislike Musk due to his actions. His lies and misinformation constantly posted on Twitter, his outrageous views, his massive ego, his callous behaviour, his almost complete lack of morals. I don't need "legacy media" to tell me what to think. You guys just trot out these cliches whilst getting your info from Fox News, Sean Hannity and the like and believing ANYTHING that comes out of Trump's mouth without checking or verifying any of it.. The hypocrisy is amazing.

I haven't publicly got involved in any of the Israel threads here as it is pointless due to the aforementioned reason, they descend in to a childish circle of name calling and stupidity.

You missed one: if you criticise Israel's policy you are a Hamas loving terrorist supporter who wishes death upon Israeli children etc etc.

You are indeed correct.

The fact that this statement is on the official whitehouse website is so childish. You have no idea how much the world is laughing at you right now, you have become a joke. The fact that you can't see that reinforces the idea that you are trapped in the cult and have no critical thinking ability of your own. The entire site looks like a parody and I had to check it wasn't. Trump will eventually leave the whitehouse in disgrace, that is my prediction. Until then I'll continue laughing and hope the harm caused is only to America and the Americans who voted for him.

Oh dear. You really just swallow anything and everything that spews out of his mouth don't you. Worse, you then regurgitate it back for other people to swallow. Do you have any idea what the research was about? You're against better HIV vaccines that have less adverse effects on humans? Would that be "loony left"? And you wonder why the world is laughing at you, you really don't help yourselves. If you said "I like Trump for XYZ but I wish he wouldn't just make stuff up and lie" I would respect that. But you all parrot and defend his lies and exaggerations, each and every one that leaves his mouth. You have no critical thinking skills of your own and that is why Trump is so dangerous.

Have you ever seen me go in to a completely unrelated thread to make slurs against "righties"? No, you haven't.

You're obsessed.
