Just happened to me.
Then stick to the topic. If you want to discuss, or argue a point, do it, and stop acting like a cowardly little boy. It wasn't an order. It was common sense. Put that narcissist thinking where it deserves to go. You obviously have no idea what it means, or are one yourself and need to deflect away from yourself. Acting innocent doesn't fool most adults. -

TDAC Update
Heads up from my 3rd entry on TDAC. You may and may not need to show it to the IO. It should be on their computer, tied to your passport number. But on Wednesday night when I arrived, I got behind a nice enough guy who held up the queue for at least 5 minutes scrolling through his phone to find his TDAC. Not his fault, really. I assume he was under the impression that it was on the IO's computer, so he didn't have it cued up on his phone. (I wonder if he'd have been SOL without a Thai SIM card, but that's a different issue.) I handed my printed TDAC to the IO with my passport and boarding pass and he kept the passport and didn't even look at the BP and TDAC before he handed them back to me. So apparently, YMMV. I'd suggest having it printed up or cued up on your smartphone when you get to the front of the queue. -

Report Boob Dispute: Indian Tourists Call Cops on Pattaya Bar Girl
What a bunch of absolute w**kers. Just pay the lass her fee and enjoy your sloppy seconds and messy thirds. Unless 2 were there just to watch, make sure it stayed in and video the dirty deed. 3,000 baht to service 3 Nodding Heads is well below Union rates. Disappointed with the Fuzz who should have made the guys pay the lady the agreed fee and Fined them for wasting Police time. -

Tommy Robinson love him or Hate him.
Certainly — here’s a calm, fact-based rebuttal that addresses the main claims while avoiding inflammatory language and keeping a balanced tone: Rebuttal to Claims About Tommy Robinson While Tommy Robinson (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) has long claimed to be a whistleblower on issues related to Islam and grooming gangs, it’s important to separate legitimate concerns about public safety from misinformation, exaggeration, and politically motivated narratives. He founded the EDL — a group widely condemned for far-right extremism, street violence, and Islamophobic rhetoric. This wasn’t simply a case of “warning about radicalisation”; it was an organised movement that inflamed tensions and made life worse for many peaceful British Muslims. Muslim mayors? This is misleading. In a democracy, mayors are elected by voters of all backgrounds. Sadiq Khan, for example, was voted in by millions of Londoners, not because he is Muslim, but because of his policies and political platform. Religion alone does not dictate governance, and suggesting otherwise veers into conspiracy thinking. Mosques and radicalisation While a small number of individuals have been linked to extremist preaching in certain mosques (especially in the 2000s), the vast majority of UK mosques are peaceful community centres. The UK security services have prosecuted extremists, including within religious settings, without relying on Robinson’s help or approval. Prisons “controlled” by radical Muslims There are indeed concerns about radicalisation in prisons. But these are complex problems managed by the Ministry of Justice and counterterrorism units, not revelations unique to Tommy Robinson. His version tends to over-simplify and racialise a broader criminal justice issue. He was “silenced”? No. Tommy Robinson has had an enormous platform — books, social media, interviews, speeches, foreign backers. When he was jailed, it was for contempt of court, not his opinions. He broke the law by prejudicing ongoing trials, risking justice for actual victims. That’s not bravery — it’s recklessness. “Evidence” and secret dossiers These are often referenced but never produced in a credible, legally actionable form. Grooming gang scandals have been rightly exposed — by journalists, police, and survivors, not just Robinson. Suggesting he alone uncovered these crimes erases the real bravery of victims and investigative reporters. Support from Elon Musk? No credible public record confirms that Elon Musk offered to pay Robinson’s court costs. This is likely internet myth-making. In summary: While it’s valid to want accountability in policing, immigration, or community integration, Tommy Robinson is not a trustworthy advocate. He frequently mixes truth with distortion, making problems seem exclusively “Islamic” when they are far more nuanced. This fuels division, not solutions. Real change comes from evidence-based policy, cross-community dialogue, and the rule of law — not martyrdom narratives and culture war posturing.
