A 42 year old Australian has been arrested after allegedly stealing from tourists at a hostel in Pattaya.

 

Police said the man stole cash, a camera, a laptop and other items from foreigners staying in the same dorm.

 

Thai media reported the man had checked in to the hostel, seemingly with the intention to steal and fled after being caught stealing the items from the room. 

 

However, thanks to CCTV, police were quickly able to apprehend the man and he was eventually arrested a short time later on Soi Bongkot.

 

The stolen items were later recovered after from a room the man rented on Soi Paniad Chang.

He has now been charged with theft. 

 

The man was also found to have overstayed his visa.

Roy Rene-Aussie/Jewish comedian in the 1930's...

 

Of course felons and prisoners of war were transported to the New World and the mild offences were "indentured"-a pay as you go form of slavery.

 

The ending of the Revolutionary War led to two things..

1.Britain had to find a new place for it's supposed felons as the Georgian penal code was astonishingly brutal.

2.The Americans had to increase the slave population to make up for the loss of "indentured servants".

No you can't, you just spout the same fear mongering racist claptrap that the far-right do. In the 30s it was The Jews who were taking everything over, so congrats you sound like a fascist

The original people of Canada:

 

 

And even they were "immigrants", 1000's of years ago, from Asia.

 

It is the way of the world.

The joke about Australia is that it was founded by a bunch of criminals. And from 1788 until 1868, Britain did send roughly 164,000 convicts to the land down under. America’s dirty little secret? The same exact thing was happening here. In fact, experts estimate that over 52,000 British prisoners were shipped off to colonial America.

Britain had been shipping convicts to America for decades before they started sending them to Australia. In fact, it was precisely because of America’s fight for independence that the Brits had to start sending their criminals to Australia. But from 1718 until 1775, convict transportation to the American colonies flourished. Some estimates claim that almost 10 percent of migrants to America during this time were British convicts.

25 years ago, as a young backbacker traveling all over the world, one thing I picked up on pretty quickly was that, for some reason, white male Australians with dreadlocks were almost always untrustworthy. Other Australians could be a mix, but were generally nice people.

If you were in a hostel, instant hierarchies often formed around who looked the coolest and it was often the case that the dreadlock crowd from other countries were pretty cool ... except the Australian ones. If someone's walkman went missing, or someone's food was lifted from the fridge, or if your dry towel was mysteriously used, it was generally your new dreadlocked Aussie friend who did it.

The most painful lesson, however, was around women. If one of these scumbags befriended your group, it wouldn't be long before they started targeting someone else's girl, and mainly by subtlety undermining the guy she was with. It was a slimy pattern I witnessed again and again.

I have no idea why that particular look so reliably attracted scumbags in Australia but not in the UK or America, but it was definitely a thing.

An old Swedish friend reckons that Swedish males with a name ending in a y have almost certainly been in prison.

Billy etc!????

Maybe a Swedish TV member can confirm?
