NanLaew Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 8 hours ago, Nout said: Thanks for pointing out the unpalatable truth regarding the British Empire. The fashionable leftist view promoted from infant school onwards overlooks the bravery, determination and self sacrifice and suffering our forefather experienced in creating the network of political and trading alliances we refer to as Empire. The critics of which NEVER criticize the Islamic Empire or soviet Empire. Selective outrage raises its head over a 'travel award'....yet again. And thanks for showing us your bunched panties.

dbrenn Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 He provides a good information service, albeit one that the British Embassy itself should be providing. Giving out medals is another form of outsourcing, and allows the Embassy staff to sit around and do the bare minimum, in line with other British civil servants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which - evidently - are NOT turned off, and most have been very positive. People often feel the need to claim that everyone on here is racist, old, bigoted, fat, bald, alcoholic, sexpat, etc. and that the comments reflect this. There's also a kind of "it's fine to say bad things about expats, but no expats are allowed to say anything critical of Thais" vibe when people discuss TVF. A bit of projection based on insecurity I think. Edited January 1, 2021 by BangkokReady 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of projection based on insecurity I think. Indeed, just last week someone posted on TVF a picture of two SAS men wearing their medals and awards and likened them to, shall i say some of the fancy dress military costumes that we've all seen in SE Asia (Can't say Thailand) or i'll be banned again..... Two DSOs and an MC, along with a heap of campaign medals all in places where most people couldn't even spell the countries names........ Not exactly stuff you can buy down Chatuchak....

Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted January 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2021 I follow Richard Barrow since the red-shirt protest in 2010. At that time he had the most up do date news in English. And it seem up to this day he still has the most up to date news. And he seems to be a humble man who does not do interviews and likes to stay mostly in the background. Great! 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
