Just spent a month in the UK. -England now fully mask / fear-free, and Scotland to follow. People getting on with their lives again, and for the most part seems like Covid never happened, other than the faded distancing stickers still in shops and banks, etc.. Surprising what a little press / media freedom can do for a country. -Boris and his Govt getting caught out and reported for breaking all their own rules, and thus having to repeal them . Makes one wonder if they were just arbitrary in the first place, tbh? Now back to Facemask Central SEA. ???? Whoopty-doo.

Yep. I remember driving up an empty Expressway years ago at Songkran. It was eerie, tbh. ???? Zombie Holocaust type scenario. -
Low Immunity May Cause Pita’s Repeated COVID Infection

"In about one month".. Bizarre statement, and not a little sinister. Sounds like a threat, tbh. -
Thai companies have a moral decision to make
huangnon replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
No. They were all deemed to be "dictators" and "extremists" as they wanted to trade oil (and other commodities) in other currencies than the USD, and not be controlled by debt. Yet, countries like Saudi Arabia, with horrendous human rights, and the very antithesis of any "democracy" is perfectly okay. -

Exactly. Where was all the self-righteous outrage and virtue signalling when the sovereign invasions and regime-changes in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, etc. happened? Mainstream media called it "liberation" and no one blinked an eye. -
The UK had to set an example, because it's Government, led by lying Boris got caught out flagrantly breaking all their own Covid rules and restrictions. The critical press caused a public backlash that forced Boris to then cancel those same restrictions. Makes you wonder if all those laws that could be instantly repealed for political reasons weren't just stupid and arbitrary in the first place.? Still, that's what is achievable when you have a free(ish) press and independent media.

I bet they had an updated insurance policy though. -
Thailand has ”all of March” to avoid new Covid restrictions
huangnon replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Ending of Covid restrictions started with Boris in the UK, basically because him and Cabinet of hypocrites got caught out flouting every rule they had imposed on the nation. So it was basically 'political' to end these restrictions, which begs a question; were they totally arbitrary in the first place? And then you have Thailand's bunch of military cronies.. Hanging on to any little bit of power they can, because they lack the education, intelligence and vision to take the country forwards. Snouts too deep in the trough to see over it. -
US urged to stop importing fishing nets from Thailand
huangnon replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Fun fact (off topic slightly) : Discarded fishing nets are by far the biggest plastic polluter in the world's oceans. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/nov/06/dumped-fishing-gear-is-biggest-plastic-polluter-in-ocean-finds-report -
Marine Department to propose revocation of SPRC’s operating license
huangnon replied to snoop1130's topic in Eastern Thailand
Rattling sabres to up the ante for a bigger payoff. If SPRC shuts down, a lot of downstream industries (plastics and petrochem) will be severely impacted also. -
Why do so many expats fall off their balconies in Thailand?
huangnon replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Pattaya (similarly Las Vegas) is a "last chance saloon" for the terminally ill, bankrupt, or heartbroken to have one last fling, before going out under their own steam. Not to mention that a few of the "flying club" may have been roofied and put over the side by their bar-fine.
