Thai Mother accused of murdering seven-year-old son in UK appears in court
A THAI woman accused of murdering her seven-year-old son in the UK has appeared at Swansea Crown Court this week, where the case was described as “extremely complicated” by her defence team. Papaipit Linse, 42, is charged with the murder of her son, Louis Linse, who was found dead at a house in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, on January 10. The defendant, who remains in custody, appeared in court on Monday but was not asked to enter a plea. John Hipkin KC, representing Linse, requested that she not be arraigned due to the case’s psychiatric complexities, highlighting the need for additional time to complete necessary reports. In response, Judge Paul Thomas KC adjourned the case to a further hearing on October 25th. No trial date has been set at this stage. The prosecution is led by Caroline Rees KC, while the defence is handled by John Hipkin KC. During the brief court appearance, no new details of the case were revealed.

How many here on the Farang Pub hope to die in Thailand?
Dear Folks, If you are like me, then you will have probably given this question much thought in recent years. Where do you hope to die? For me, it's a no-brainer....Thailand is where I hope to die. I am not saying that I often think of dying. I am only saying that I love Thailand so much that I hope to die here. Also, I am not so young that I want to travel around the world, just looking for some other place to die. Thailand, after over a decade of non-stop life here, without leaving, is still the place to die....for me. There are very few better places to die. And, dying here has the potential to provide reincarnation, as well. Here in Thailand, we can enjoy a much more laid-back dying experience. Death, here in Thailand, is far less to be feared, unlike some places, where they try to keep you alive....until... The very bitter end, which is always a bitter experience, or so I have been told. I think that guys like me are lucky to be in Thailand, waiting to die here, when the time is ripe. I will not be sorry to never return to my home country, or to.... The Main Line...... Death on the Main Line would be far less cheerful, IMHO. Here in Thailand, I find the prospect of dying far less distasteful..... What about you? Are you, as I, equally hopeful of dying in Thailand? No. I am not saying that this must happen tomorrow. And, I expect to die here in Thailand.....maybe..... In the year 2062.... A year, I predict, will be 1.5 degrees C...hotter than now. Any good thoughts about dying? Best regards, Gamma -

90 day online ... last 90 day, there was a glitch a week later approval
The rather ditzy women at Immigration do not seem to know anything about a "grace period". They demanded an extra 2000 baht when the online submission ran me two days late because it was rejected, Later, I learn that they are having "problems" with the online submissions. There seems to be almost no way to win. That said, my agent's son told me he could do the 90 day reports for me. He can speak to them in Thai and get results. If I understood him correctly, he will do this for no charge. He and his Mom already handle my Extensions of Stay. The Mom is my landlady. Apparently SOME good news. I'm tired of being ripped off by Immigration. -

Confused again? Seems like it, but maybe you could point the forum in the direction of this "elongated post" just to show us your post is accurate? Thought not. 🙄 -

Trump appeal against ridiculous fine looks like a winner
I agree, they will probably roll it back to the initial fine, but I think they should make a provision that the next time he denounces her again $5 million gets added at each update. Each of these appeals costs him plenty even without the fine. Maybe during breaks in the court proceeding he can hawk watches in Foley Square (the location of the courthouse) to try to raise cash for the attorneys. Or if a Black person comes along he can try to sell them the sneakers. -

TRUMP WATCHES
psssttt, wanna buy a watch? He's sunk to a NYC sidewalk hawker. For someone who doesn't need anybody else's money he sure is eager to take other people's money "Have you no shame, sir?" Actually, I think those NFTs of him are even lower. Maybe his next step downward will be be an adult web site featuring his current wife in various phases of undress and, umm, frolicking. Maybe that book of her that recently came out is just the start. -

Kamala Harris Shifts Position on Border Wall, Signaling Tougher Stance on Immigration
Kamala Harris, once a vocal critic of the border wall during Donald Trump’s presidency, now pledges to allocate hundreds of millions of dollars to extend the barrier along the southern border if elected president. This shift comes as Harris embraces a more aggressive immigration policy, a significant departure from her previous liberal positions on issues such as Medicare for All and fracking, which her campaign now opposes. Harris’ campaign appears to be adapting to the pressure of Trump’s repeated attacks on her stance on border security. While Harris now supports measures for the wall, she maintains key differences with Trump, particularly opposing family separation policies and mass deportation plans. In her recent speech at the Democratic National Convention, Harris voiced her intention to sign the bipartisan border security bill, a piece of legislation that Trump had previously blocked due to concerns it would politically benefit Democrats in the upcoming election. The bill, negotiated by Senators James Lankford (R-Okla.) and Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), mandates that hundreds of millions of unspent funds be used to continue the construction of the border wall. Lankford remarked that the bill carries forward the standards set during the Trump administration regarding the structure’s height and location. "It requires the Trump border wall," Lankford told Axios, clarifying that the bill specifies where and how the wall must be built. The legislation’s estimated cost for continuing the wall stands at $650 million, a significant reduction from the $18 billion that Trump originally requested in 2018. However, Harris’ camp argues that this legislation is not a full endorsement of Trump's wall and highlights that it involves much more than just wall funding. Her advisers pointed out that the bill does not allocate new money for the wall but merely extends the timeline for using funds appropriated during Trump's presidency, albeit with new restrictions to ensure these funds are used strictly for barriers. Additionally, the bill includes provisions to address the overloaded immigration system, such as increasing funding for asylum lawyers and judges, and grants the president the authority to close the border if more than 5,000 migrants cross in a single day. This is a sharp contrast from Harris’ earlier stance. When she first ran for president in 2019, she condemned Trump’s wall as a "medieval vanity project" and consistently opposed any funding for its construction. In a 2020 Facebook post, Harris declared, "Trump's border wall is a complete waste of taxpayer money and won't make us any safer." Earlier, in 2017, shortly after joining the Senate, she called the wall a "stupid use of money" and vowed to block any efforts to fund it. Harris' recent support of the bipartisan border security bill has raised eyebrows, even among some of her political colleagues. Senator Lankford expressed surprise at Harris' full embrace of the bill, noting that she had not participated in the negotiations. "We never saw any vice president staff here," Lankford remarked. "I know she's talking about it now, but she wasn't talking about it at all before." Meanwhile, Senator Murphy described the bill as "aggressive," noting that it introduces new tools to manage the border but also emphasized that it does not stray from the nation's core values. Although President Biden had criticized Trump for killing the compromise bill, some Democrats, including Senator Alex Padilla of California, took issue with the conservative nature of the policies within it. Padilla opposed the bill, stating that it "fails to provide relief for a single Dreamer, a single farmworker, a single essential worker or long-term resident." Harris has positioned herself as a hardliner on immigration in her campaign ads, showcasing her time as California's attorney general and highlighting her support for increasing the number of Border Patrol agents. These moves come as Trump’s campaign continues to attack her on the administration’s struggles to handle surges of migrants at the southern border. Harris' evolving stance on immigration reflects how the political conversation around border security has shifted in recent years, largely influenced by Trump’s presidency. Her willingness to support aspects of the border wall is a marked departure from her earlier rhetoric, illustrating the pressures and complexities of immigration policy in contemporary American politics.
