That includes military aid, financial support, guarantees and reconstruction-related commitments. Unfreezing UK pensions globally would be around &#xA3;1 billion a year - do the math.</description><pubDate>Thu, 11 Jun 2026 13:42:42 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>My Bitter Experience with Lazada.Has This Happened to You?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396524-my-bitter-experience-with-lazadahas-this-happened-to-you/?do=findComment&comment=20548692]]></link><description>250 ml bottle from Quebec Canada and imported by Coles of Oz, and a guarantee......if you don't like it, your money back!!

Take the Ukrainians for instance. Nothing against them in special but they get miraclous funding from western european nations, when these very nations are neglecting their own or like the UK, stopping to pay government pensions to their own people living outside Europe. No wonder people end up in voting for madmen like Trump.</description><pubDate>Thu, 11 Jun 2026 13:39:22 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Worst Joke Ever 2026</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1071616-worst-joke-ever-2026/?do=findComment&comment=20548688]]></link><description>For goodness sake do Let It Be &#x1F609;</description><pubDate>Thu, 11 Jun 2026 13:37:05 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>First Small Boat Pilots Jailed Under New UK Border Law</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396532-first-small-boat-pilots-jailed-under-new-uk-border-law/?do=findComment&comment=20548687]]></link><description>These "travel agents"  or rather human traffickers, are well connected, ruthless criminals belonging to mafia groups, that the UK and the foolish european union are funding.   Same for those humanitarian ships funded by a bunch of extrovert controversial millionnaires mainly from America who are destroying Europe and are in league with the human trafickers on sea.  Does anybody not find it strange how those ships always seem to be in the right spot and time to pick up the inflatable boats with the innocent illegals ? Yes those illegals are innocent. It's the traffikers and those who help them cross who are the criminals who need to be caught and deported to any country in North Africa willing to take them in. Sorry, but humanity yes, but encouraging crime ? no thanks.</description><pubDate>Thu, 11 Jun 2026 13:36:49 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Starmer Vows to Contest Any Labour Leadership Challenge</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396274-starmer-vows-to-contest-any-labour-leadership-challenge/?do=findComment&comment=20548686]]></link><description>Yes, his foreign policy and handling of Trump have been great.

The changing of T to D is more American, and in other countries like Australia, it's called an alveolar flap (or tap), which is a consonant sound produced by briefly striking the tongue against the alveolar ridge.  When you raise the tone at the end of a sentnce it's called 'upspeak' or 'uptalk'. Linguists and communication experts formally refer to this phenomenon as a high-rising terminal (HRT) &#x2013; this creates problems for listeners whose first language is tonal, as they think you are changing the meaning like it would in their native tongue.</description><pubDate>Thu, 11 Jun 2026 13:35:56 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Word Association - 2026</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1383425-word-association-2026/?do=findComment&comment=20548683]]></link><description>Robbery</description><pubDate>Thu, 11 Jun 2026 13:35:23 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Anti-Immigrant Violence Enters Second Night in Belfast</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396494-anti-immigrant-violence-enters-second-night-in-belfast/?do=findComment&comment=20548682]]></link><description>Well, all these global issues impacting every country&#x2019;s citizen in the world can be attributed to one entity.

In many cases they're serving decades or life sentences. The problem is what happens before that.  How many times do we see stories where someone had multiple prior arrests, prior gun charges, probation violations, or a long criminal history and was still back on the street? That's what frustrates people.  We keep talking about passing new laws while often failing to enforce the laws we already have against repeat violent offenders. If someone is arrested for illegal gun possession, armed robbery, aggravated assault or repeated violent crimes, I'd rather see the justice system take that seriously before it turns into a homicide. To me, that's where a lot of the focus should be.</description><pubDate>Thu, 11 Jun 2026 13:22:39 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
