He has returned to his roots , so to speak, and left behind the worst of the Euro-elite snobbery and arrogance.  I wouldn't have voted for him, but whatever happens, he IS my Prime Minister and I wish him success.  I only with my cousins to the south could have the same attitude. We all lose elections and need to accept the results with a modicum of grace and dignity.   As for joining the EU? Jesus, no. Last thing we need to do is be tied to Europe. Asia is the future.</description><pubDate>Thu, 18 Jun 2026 13:51:16 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>People are saying the Left created a Monster, Barrack Obama,News</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396056-people-are-saying-the-left-created-a-monster-barrack-obamanews/?do=findComment&comment=20559211]]></link><description>This is a New York State trial were they push soft on crime systemic progressive initiatives to excuse criminality .He still has to meet up with Federal charges.

Where I said in my above post the hottest, brightest part of the Thai year is Mar-Apr, well, I meant to say Mar-May. I've noticed during the "HOT, HUMID" Mar-May period the Atto KWH usage per 100km is significantly higher than the rest of the year....and that also impacts the Atto's DC Fast Charger charging curve as the BMS reduces the normal max charging rates to protect the HV battery. Like the Atto can normally get a 80-88KWH charging rate up to around 65% SOC, if the weather is really hot the BMS seems to roll that 80-88KWH upper SOC range back to around 40% SOC.  And then from 40% SOC to around 85% SOC the charging rate will be around 40-50KWH versus the normal 57KWH from 65% to 85% SOC. Now the 85% to 100% SOC charging rate of around 32KWH seems consistent whether the weather is really HOT or cool.  Yea, time of year can definitely impact driving range and DC Fast Charger charging curve (depends on how hot the weather gets)...and based on my experience with my Atto for 2 yrs 8 months the Mar-Apr-May months in Thailand are the toughest on range and DC charging rates.</description><pubDate>Thu, 18 Jun 2026 13:36:38 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>High Court ovverturns Palestine Action ban</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1387370-high-court-ovverturns-palestine-action-ban/?do=findComment&comment=20559200]]></link><description>Suffragettes were jailed for their crimes, as they would be today if they committed similar  crimes .
