Ok, waste of time playing now. Goodbye. Final try: Why does Sadiq keep getting re-elected by Londoners then? Why are they happy with him if everything is worse?

You didn't dispute anything. I gave examples which you keep ignoring. Why don't you try? Was the air quality worse? Was the traffic worse? Was public transport worse? What, specifically, was worse this time around? What's worse for me? It's horrendously expensive. There's a lot of litter, but then there always has been and that is true throughout the UK. I also spent time up in Merseyside and it was filthy and run down with absolutely terrible transport - do you want the post code?

I was staying in N16. But I am talking about the whole of London as I have friends and had meetings all over the city. Air is much cleaner, transport is much better and more affordable, traffic is almost non existent in the overall scheme of things. You can dispute that all you want but you would look pretty silly. If you think any of those are worse now than 30 years ago please give an example - it is going to be good! Londoners continually vote for Sadiq. He's the most successful mayor of all time if you judge by how many times he has been re-elected. But Jonny comes out with nonsense like he destroyed transport and ruined people's lives with low emissions mandates. And Jonny does not live there - he knows nothing other than what he reads in his right wing groups and media and he parrots it and looks, frankly, stupid. Talk to Londoners.

What is make believe about these statements exactly? Is the air dirtier, the traffic worse, is public transport worse and less affordable? "I was just in London. It wasn't much different to how it was when I lived there 30-odd years ago, except there's no traffic, the air is clean, public transport is infinitely better and more affordable. "

As do your constant personal attacks on him - we all know the reason.

I don't live there so not fussed about any postcode nonsense, I live in Bangkok. No idea what you are wibbling on about or what relevance it has to anything.

He did, did he? You are, of course, aware that the Tories cut TfL's operational funding in 2015 which caused a massive hole in its finances and meant it had to rely almost exclusively on revenue from fares. You are, of course, also aware of a thing called Covid which caused ridership to plummet by over 90%. Where was Sadiq supposed to magic up that money from? So, according to you, Sadiq must have asked the government to bring in "austerity" measures (which were such a huge success and benefitted so many people) and he also caused Covid.

No. Why is important to know anyway?

Right, but you know that he has ruined public transport but just can't how.

North London.

Has he, has he really? Did you think of that all by yourself? I was just in London. It wasn't much different to how it was when I lived there 30-odd years ago, except there's no traffic, the air is clean, public transport is infinitely better and more affordable. Damn expensive though - is that what "Londonstan" means? Why don't you tell us of your experiences.

Do you only talk in cliches or do you have any thoughts or words of your own? Assuming you don't live in London, why don't you tell us how he has destroyed public transport? And how has he ruined people's lives? If he had ruined their lives and ruined transport you would think Londoners would be upset, right? But he has been elected for an unprecedented third term in office. I was in London last week visiting relatives who have lived there over 40 years. Believe it or not actual Londoners (you know, the ones who live there) like him and his achievements and that's why they keep voting for him. It seems to mostly be the bigots who can't stand the fact he is brown and Muslim that whine about him (and most of them don't live there either - like you). But you do love your right wing cliches, keep them coming, don't disappoint.

As usual, Trump supporters put their fingers in their ears. I have seen the entire clip and it is no different. Talking about Ukraine, "You should have never started it" is pretty clear. But you believe what you want to believe, that's fine. Quite funny actually.

Yeah, I know, but I thought I would give a little concession otherwise I would be accused of blind hatred, being brainwashed, pro junta blah blah etc etc.

Incorrect. He was much more openly corrupt than any preceding him or anyone since. Approving a government loan via Exim bank to the Burmese junta (against international sanctions) to buy his Shin Sat satellites. Passing millions of dollars worth of shares in Shin corp to his maid and driver to try and hide them. Selling a huge plot of government owned land to his wife when he was PM. Changing government telecoms policies to benefit AIS about competitors. Widespread corruption at Suvarnabhumi. It goes on and on. When he was elected he sold people the lie that he wouldn't be corrupt as he is already rich. But the man is incredibly greedy and got more and more brazen. Easily the most brazenly corrupt PM this country has seen. You are a joke. Thaksin is - and only ever was - out for himself and his personal wealth and ego. He is trying to make his family a dynasty here. He is responsible for thousands of deaths (Tak Bai, "War on Drugs"), he polarised the country so badly it was brought to the brink of civil war. He didn't care, he only cares about Thaksin. Did he? Like what? 30 baht health scheme was good.

So if you are against Thaksin you must be pro junta??? What are you talking about? It is possible to disagree with both you know, grow up.

This is the link: https://gov.immigration1.queueonline.net/appointment/login.html?v35 I used it a couple of days ago (first time using it) as I need a CoR to renew my driver's license. Booked appointment for 11.30am, arrived at 11.25am as the traffic was horrendous on Tuesday morning. Went to info counter, they told me to go straight to desk 64. At 11.30am on the dot the number at desk 64 displayed my number. Took 2-3 minutes including payment and receipt and I was out by 11.34am. Amazing. I will never ever go to CW for anything without an appointment ever again. I think it was @DrJack54 who first notified me of the online appointment system when I moaned about my first (and only) 90 day report taking six hours - I had no idea it existed before.

Typical moronic anti-Thai AN reply. How much do you think it cost them in fuel to fly all the way back? How much do you think it cost them to reorganise all those people at the airport, give them food and drink, and then how much money to organise another plane to take them all to Singapore a few hours later? Idiotic. It wasn't an emergency situation, so it is pretty standard to return to your home airport where things can be taken care of more easily as you have maintenance workers, an inventory of parts for your specific aircraft - especially as their home airport was less than two hours away. But yeah, money. I guess you are one of those who just spouts "money", "greed", or "money number one" randomly in threads without engaging your brain.

No, 2-stroke motorbikes we're phased out in 1999 or 2000. Long gone. Back then the air pollution was mainly due to trucks, buses, two stroke motorcycles, tuk tuks. Now it generally isn't, it is the burning of fields and crops. Take that burning away and the air here is infinitely better than it was in the late 90's.

Ah right, you know best.

The pictures are from a story in 2014 about a cracked windscreen on a flight from Sydney to Bangkok that diverted to Bali. Well done Daily Mail, high journalistic standards as usual. https://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/incidents/thai-airways-flight-from-sydney-to-bangkok-makes-emergency-landing-due-to-cracked-window/news-story/d9ee0f993e9d7c9123e2e314c7d5d20a

Wonder why the Daily Mail is using a picture of a cracked windscreen on a 747 as TG retired them ages ago. The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A330-300.

So you don't have any evidence or anything intelligent to contribute, and you refuse to answer questions. You just make stupid blanket statements (Europe is communist, communism is their goal etc) and when asked for evidence or asked if you have even been to Europe you respond with childish insults ("Woke idiot"). You are nothing more than a man child who doesn't know how to join in with the grown ups. One more try: have you been to Europe? Where is your evidence it is communist (it clearly isn't)? What are you basing this on? Or maybe you don't understand what communism is - that's ok, someone can help explain it if you ask nicely.

Okey Dokey. So just your paranoid MAGA conspiracy theory opinion. Absolutely no facts to back it up. Worthless then.
