It will make them understand that if they want to continue defying the authorities, the best for them is to stay in their ghettos in France. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you hear about a guy beating up a ladyboy, or stealing from a shop, or getting into fights, it is very often a Frenchman. I remember traveling in France as a young teenager and they always seemed so cultured, so sophisticated. It is mystifying that such a dignified people, with such a glorious history, seem to have descended into barbarism. I don't know how old you are; I think you saw a France that no longer exists; the one I knew 60 years ago .... 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glorious history - would that be fighting all over Europe for varying reasons at different times or imposing dictatorial colonial regimes like other "first world nations" did/do? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glorious history,did'n't help em much at Agincourt,Cressy,or Waterloo did it,they may be good lovers but fighters,no sir,not when confronted by a stout yoeman,or indeed an ss panzer division. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not paying import tax or duty on the tobacco? The reason is simple. The Thai tobacco industry needs to be protected, and will do anything to curb competition from outside. That's also the reason why they banned E-cigarettes. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep there's no way set up to collect duty on the tobacco thats the main problem plus now the connection with Muslims arabs On Arrival/transfer from Cairo I Opened one on if not the first sheesha cafe outside BKKS Arab quarter in 2001 tobacco used to be brought on incoming Egyptian flights Always very popular with Thais and foreigners alike sadly "associated running ahem costs" put us out of business. Got a couple of lovely ones for personal use at home 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The Thai tobacco industry needs to be protected, and will do anything to curb competition from outside". Really? They're that desperate, are they? That must be why Thailand banned the import of all brands that compete with their brands here, yes? "That's also the reason why they banned E-cigarettes". I doubt it; what threat are a few e-fags to the Thai tobacco industry, exactly? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
