  1. I guess only Fulani would be able to confirm that authoritatively. The strongest suggestion I have seen is on the webpage https://www.turbulenttimes.co.uk/news/front-page/immigration-a-black-day/
  2. This still leaves two questions: 1. Was the transcript made from memory or from a recording? 2. Is it really a transcript of the whole conversation, as the newspapers wrote, with an unfinished sentence at the end?
  3. I know you didn't address the question to me but as I have it open on my browser (I am now on page 19 of reading this topic) and as some people are not very good at posting links I thought I'd post it.
  4. I am also interested in knowing whether the conversation was recorded, searched for it on the worldwide web and found no answer.
  5. The Gardian wrote: Two days ago, BBC wrote: One day ago, BBC wrote:
  6. I have the impression that this was not the full conversation.
  7. For a better understanding, I am adding another two lines of the transcript before the three you quoted: I don't know why, but I understand the last line to mean "No, I'm not asking where the charity Sistah Space is located. I am wondering from what part of Africa YOU are from"
  8. I wonder, did Fulani recount her conversation with Lady Hussey from memory or was it a transcription she made from a sound recording with a hidden recorder? Do the news reports shed light on this?
  9. To Fulani's answer "No lady, I am of African heritage, Caribbean descent and British nationality.", Lady Hussey replied "Oh so you're from..." Fulani's transcript ends there, not finishing the sentence of that last reply from Lady Hussey. I would not conclude from those last few quoted words that Lady Hussey "continued her racist attack"
  10. The meaning and thus the translation of a word or a phrase often depends on the context in which it is used. In what context did did you read or hear them?
  11. Theses were the two questions in the OP: Question 1: Question 2: I made a mistake by giving an answer to the second question in my earlier post in this topic. Since the answer to the first question is "Yes", the second question does not arise.
  12. Amazon's ordering process does not give the buyer the option of specifying the text for the product description on the customs declaration form.
  13. How does the prime minister get elected in Thailand? I seem to have read some years ago that the parliament elects him, but is this still the case under the current constitution?
  14. What happened to Uber?
  15. First question: Yes. Second question: The rate has changed since the "advertisement" you are talking about was published?
  16. I would declare it as "used hard disk" with a declared value of USD 10.00 and send it via Unites States Postal Service if it weighs not more than 4 pounds. https://postcalc.usps.com/Calculator/MailServices?country=10424&ccode=TH&omil=False&dmil=False&mdt=11%2F8%2F2022&mdz=11%3A29&m=6&dvi=10&p=4
  17. The OP is talking about arrival in Thailand, not departure.
  18. Thank you. That looks like a logical starting point.

    Correct.
  20. Off topic. SVB is in Mozambique.
  21. Off topic. SVB airport is in Mozambique.
  22. Within 30 minutes from what point in time? From touch down of the plane, or from opening of the plane doors for disembarkation, or from the first passenger's arrival at the conveyor belt, or what?
  23. Thank you for pointing this out. I was about to ask the OP what he meant with SVB, which from the context of his post was obviously intended as a reference to a Thai airport but as such made no sense at all. It is useful to know the IATA airport code of one's destination airport, as I once found out when checking in some years ago at BKK (Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport) for flights via Zurich to Lugano (Switzerland), which is about 15 km from where I live in Northern Italy. Out of the corner of my right eye I saw that the luggage tag being attached to my suitcase had LUX printed on it in large black letters and I could stop it just time before it was moved to the conveyer belt, and I asked the check-in staff to print a tag with LUG. Otherwise, the bag would have gone to Luxembourg.
  24. What is a collage of sustainability?
  25. What university was this? It's OK to give the name; they won't see it as defamation. On the contrary, they will take it as a compliment.
