Usual cruel / moronic posts in this subject. An attempt to copy the Australia 'stop the boats' policy which cost a fortune per asylum seeker, the majority of whom were found to be legitimate and eventually resettled. One of the primary holding countries, PNG, eventually ruled via their Supreme Court the agreement was in fact contrary to international law. HMG appear to have gone totally over the top with wishing to enact law that deportees will be permanently relocated to Rwanda. Australian forced resettlement met with hostility in the recipient countries and deemed a failure. The core issue is UN member countries refuse to accept and fund sufficient numbers thereby some countries currently housing refugees for twenty plus years e.g. Myanmar, Pakistan, Iran etc etc Often without access to education, sufficient healthcare and so on. A cruel world indeed which will please some members.

Although Off Topic I dispute your claim Ukraine is a proxy of the US in it's fight against Russia. You seem to ignore Russia invaded Ukraine without justification.

No surprise, long been forecast West Bank will erupt again after 50 years of occupation with no resolution in sight. I guess the Palestinian proxies will suffer major loss on life if or should I say, when, major escalation occurs. However, one assumes it will suit the current Israeli government land grab / Settler goals.

Nope. Was putting into context as other groups also commit horrendous crime.

Thanks everyone. My reason for asking was that we had a water bill for 1,500 baht after being way for a few years. However, we did have the house walls cleaned with high pressure water house, some concrete mixing and so on. I'll see what happens with next bill.

You well know that if you object to a post, report it, don't make personal attacks.

Not Islam spiritually practised, but the Salafi Islamists. Plus of course those claiming to be followers of Islam, but in fact are criminals e.g. rapist's.

Yet again you're falsifying my post. I was stating evil is not the sole domain of Muslims - end of.

Kidnapping for ransom, abuse of the detained etc is not the sole domain of Muslims. Unfortunately occurs around the world including Mafia organisations, next door in Myanmar by the so called 'Buddhist' military etc. e.g. https://www.irrawaddy.com/news/burma/myanmar-military-kidnapping-civilians-for-ransom-in-rakhine.html

Just trying to get an understanding of water supply cost in Pattaya. e.g. what is your monthly town water bill for say a couple Thanks...

Yes, by professional criminal elements.

I've seen a few high value cars in Pattaya, but first time for a new RR. If I had that wealth I wouldn't be driving such a vehicle in Thailand - each to their own...

Went to dinner last night in the back of Pattaya, there was a Rolls Royce SUV parked in the front; they cost approx 40 million baht. It was driven by a Chinese guy.

One in eight Londoners were not registered to vote, Guess what happened, Sadiq ran a campaign to increase registered voters. BYW only roughly 15% of Londoners are Muslim. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/londons-registered-voters- Accordingly, if you're that concerned get organised.

How about a break from your moaning about Oz; gets tedious...

Got any proof to back up your claims - sounds like the usual right of centre BS. FYI the claim is those high net worth individuals are preferring the likes of UAE... https://www.cityam.com/explainer-why-are-the-super-rich-leaving-london/ BTW Sadiq Khan remains on course to become the first London mayor to win three successive terms of office... https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/london-mayoral-election-race-sadiq-khan-victory-polling-day-susan-hall-b1148954.html

Khan claims he doesn't have the authority to ban the parade. IMO it should be as Quds are an enemy organisation. I guess over to the Home Office... https://www.jewishnews.co.uk/sadiq-khan-does-have-the-power-to-ban-al-quds-day-march/

He was talking to a near total lack of representation for minorities, which is an issue he wishes to improve upon as well as his and his families experience with racial abuse which needs to be addressed within society. Having a Thai wife who faces racial abuse, from time to time, in Australia, personally seems reasonable to me.

Great - please don't reply. I too find your POV on many issues extreme.

My comments concerning some members of this forum is factual and are reflected in this OP. My experience of racism / discrimination in London, is articulated today throughout the UK one way or another; one only has to read commentary in the UK media for confirmation. Reporting Yousaf to police, none of which were accepted for follow up by police as his comments were not considered unlawful, is just confirmation of racism in the UK.

Within the URL below a is the text from Humza Yousaf's speech. No racist commentary, just referring to the complete lack of minorities in position of authority and urging change to address the issue. I was born and raised in London. I well remember racist and discriminatory actions. From reading commentary within this app, obviously still alive and well in the UK. https://www.newsletter.co.uk/news/politics/full-and-uncut-what-is-the-humza-yousaf-white-people-speech-which-has-sparked-racism-complaints-under-scotlands-new-hate-crime-law-4578704

Why do you think the legislation is solely focussed on "white people"?

The fact of the matter is Congo, Sudan and Burma are all civil wars and do not threaten Western strategic interests. At the same time Congo, Sudan, Myanmar and South Sudan do receive Western aid. e.g. Myanmar... https://www.usaid.gov/burma/press-release/usaid-immediately-redirects-42-million-response-military-coup-burma#:~:text=In FY 2020%2C the United,Bangladesh and throughout the region. Though it will make no difference whatsoever. I reject the evangelical, ultra nationalist driven MAGA policies and the anti government self interested con man, Trump. Also the current Republican stance reminds me when Bush encouraged the Shiites to rebel in Iraq and then failed to support them, resulting in the murder of tens of thousands by Saddam.

From my perspective living under the rule of an oppressor and mass murderer is not for me. I assume some are OK with living under Putin, some not; especially minorities or those seeking freedom of speech and so on.

OK. Glad you recognise the importance of using wording correctly, not for twisting the truth of matters.
