Ex-Monk's Reckless Driving Leaves Two Girls Critically Injured
You did read the part where it said the monk had left the temple years ago didn't you? Or were you too busy making sure you were the first to comment? -

Srinagarind Hospital overwhelmed by 830% rise in cancer patients
I'm thankful that the Cult of the Wormheads has come here to solve this mystery. I have no doubt that the next volcanic eruption or solar eclipse will also be attributable to "The Jab". I'm a little surprised how many expat PhD biochemists have settled in Thailand and joined AN. We're just lucky, I guess. I'm one of those Luddites who do not believe that correlation equals causation, nor do I believe everything on the internet is Gospel truth. That's just the natural skeptic in me. I see that data and consider things like: ---Awareness among the area population that that particular hospital has developed a comprehensive cancer treatment program and broadcast it, so folks turn toward it for treatment ? ---The prevalence of the area consumption of Koi Pla, which has been linked to liver cancer ? ---Rising levels of pollution countrywide, but cancer patients not congregating at one specific hospital in other areas ? ---Some particular cancer causing substance in some factory or farms in that area ? ---Better reporting and data keeping re cancer numbers ? ---Better detection methods ? ---Tattoos ? ---An alien bio weapon being tested first in Khon Kaen ? /sarc The skeptic in me also questions the credibility of a proponent of odd conspiracies who takes exception to FDA-approved vaccines, but is perfectly comfortable injecting himself with heroin sourced from rural Myanmar or Afghanistan. -

UK’s Trade Future with EU Raises Concerns Over Return to ECJ Jurisdiction
It is very easy for Brits - who would potentially benefit for the enclosing of the European mainland in fencing so far as illegal migration flows are concerned - to casually insist that such a measure is necessary, but quite another matter for the denizens of Europe who would be negatively affected economically, societally, environmentally, etc by such a development. In future, there may be an increase in the number of times Schengen is temporarily suspended and in the number of temporary border checks, but I doubt that Schengen will be abolished. I provided a link in a previous post regarding the costs of abolishing and suspending Schengen. That paper was published in 2016 and probably understates the amount: There are now 2m daily cross-border workers in the EU, and 1,857 billion tonne-kilometres of freight is transported by road (2022 figures). Imagine the chaos if border checks were reintroduced throughout the Schengen zone. My comment about the UK footing the bill for the abolition of Schengen was somewhat tongue-in-cheek. Nevertheless, in the extremely unlikely event that it were to happen at the UK's behest, why shouldn't the UK bear (at least) some of the cost? I am not accusing you of being uncompassionate - your comment shows that you are not - and I share your concern about economic migrants abusing the system. However, I do think that you understate and over-simplify the complexity of the problem. Securing Europe's borders (internal and external) is no simple matter as the attached link clearly illustrates. https://www.frontex.europa.eu/what-we-do/monitoring-and-risk-analysis/migratory-routes/migratory-routes/ Given that it's too late to take a different (Brexit) path and following the current one has hardly been successful, wouldn't it be logical to at least, inquire about rejoining the EU?😉 -
