Goliath bites the dust! Who's have thunk the Bible's little David would turn out to be Shia Muslim?  And the next to fall? Here's hoping it's that evil aberration by the name of Israel.   A toast to Iran. Stood up to the Empire and turned it into a whimpering girly man eager to please. Went hard after the hitherto believed-to-be-invincible terrorist apartheid Israeli regime and gave them as good as it got.  A couple more things, Iran, if you will, as you deservedly celebrate. Liberate Lebanon's south from occupying IDF forces. And, finally, finally, give dignity and hope to Palestinians by forcing into being a Palestinian State, their own on land rightfully theirs.</description><pubDate>Thu, 18 Jun 2026 01:54:56 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Happy Birthday, Big Guy!</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396718-happy-birthday-big-guy/?do=findComment&comment=20558099]]></link><description>Do you have a link to the agreement or not?</description><pubDate>Thu, 18 Jun 2026 01:54:13 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>EU and UK Set 22 July Summit for Brexit Reset Talks</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396949-eu-and-uk-set-22-july-summit-for-brexit-reset-talks/?do=findComment&comment=20558098]]></link><description>Finally &#x1F497;&#x1F497;&#x1F497;.

Also worth reading is the 'MasterDebunker's analysis on X Not a formal inquiry: The report is a privately produced document led by a sitting MP with clear political views, not a statutory public inquiry with legal powers, independent oversight, or official status.  Anecdotal evidence reliance:  It depends heavily on survivor and whistleblower testimonies without transparent selection, verification, or sampling methods, leaving it vulnerable to bias and difficult to corroborate at scale.  Weak national estimates: Claims such as 250,000 victims are extrapolations from limited local data rather than results from systematic national statistics or rigorous quantitative analysis.  Over-extension of conviction data: It takes solid conviction samples (e.g. 84% South Asian in reviewed cases) and stretches them into wider claims about overall perpetrator proportions that the data cannot fully support.   Interpretive sections over-reach: Chapters linking issues to Islamic doctrine or Muslim culture present contested cultural arguments as straightforward analysis, with limited engagement of counter-evidence or alternative explanations.  Narrow scope: It focuses almost exclusively on one demographic profile of group-based grooming while giving far less attention to other major forms of child sexual exploitation shown in official data.  Poor methodological transparency: There is no clear methods section explaining data collection, inclusion criteria, or how conclusions were reached, making the report read as advocacy rather than formal research.  Confirmation bias in structure: The organisation and emphasis appear designed to reinforce a pre-existing narrative (political correctness + specific cultural factors) rather than neutrally examining multiple causes.  Limited new contribution: Much of the strongest content simply restates findings from earlier official inquiries (Jay, Telford, Casey); the added value is mainly compiled testimony and interpretive framing rather than fresh empirical work.  https://x.com/Master_Debunker</description><pubDate>Thu, 18 Jun 2026 01:50:03 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>British Boxer Dies After Phuket Tuk-Tuk Fall</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396963-british-boxer-dies-after-phuket-tuk-tuk-fall/?do=findComment&comment=20558094]]></link><description>Even with insurance they will not be paying out. alcohol in your system, not restrained by seat belt etc etc</description><pubDate>Thu, 18 Jun 2026 01:49:58 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>British Boxer Dies After Phuket Tuk-Tuk Fall</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396963-british-boxer-dies-after-phuket-tuk-tuk-fall/?do=findComment&comment=20558093]]></link><description>Sad sad end of a young life.

The IO asked me if I had 20,000 baths with me. I said no but I showed a K bank statement. She said I needed cash. I said no problem because there is an ATM across the street. I was getting ready to give my bank card to my friend who was waiting for me at the immigration office inside the fish market to go and pickup the money. Then the IO realized that her request did not make sense. She stamped my passport and let me go with a large smile.</description><pubDate>Thu, 18 Jun 2026 01:39:15 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What Did You Have For Lunch</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394745-what-did-you-have-for-lunch/?do=findComment&comment=20558079]]></link><description>If you send me an address via PM, I'll stick one of each in the post for you.

The relationship of Jews to Israel is unique in human experience.  I fully acknowledge this is a matter of belief and not everyone accepts it.  Hopefully, the right of Israel to exist as the homeland of the world's Jews can be settled through negotiation.  If not, that's why we have the IDF.</description><pubDate>Thu, 18 Jun 2026 01:37:12 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>No Nukes, $300bn Fund: Inside the Reported US-Iran Deal</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396940-no-nukes-300bn-fund-inside-the-reported-us-iran-deal/?do=findComment&comment=20558076]]></link><description>Saw this comparison between Obama's deal and now Trumps deal.
