Norwegian Expat Injured by Automatic Door in Bangkok, Seeks Compensation
"the police invited legal representatives from the transport company and the victim’s relatives for negotiations to reach a resolution. The outcome was positive, with the transport company accepting the victim’s family’s conditions ... The relatives are satisfied and feel somewhat better that the transport company will take responsibility". -

Labour's Britain: A Landscape of Bluster and Inaction
They knew about it before they did the following: 1. Gave away £9bn to inflation busting public sector pay rises. This could have been £1.4bn less with zero impact 2. Gave yet another £3bn to Ukraine. This could have been £1.4bn less with zero impact 3. Pledged £11.6bn to climate change in Africa. This would create 11 less African billionaires but otherwise would have zero impact. Choices comrade, choices. They cannot complain about black holes when they give so much money taxpayers money away and they could have chosen not to kill thousands of pensioners this winter. -

Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill
Here's a funny anecdote about Churchill related by Orson Welles to Dick Cavet. It goes a long way towards explaining why Churchill had so many friends. -

Trump Harris: Who won the debate ?
IMO Harris is capable of growing into the position. She demonstrated that by slicing Trump to ribbons. Nobody thought much of LBJ when he took over after Kennedy's assassination. He became one of the most reforming Presidents in America's history. OTOH, Trump is rooted in the past. He can only regress. -

Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill
Really? Because the bigotry of the Nazis towards the Jews wasn't flagrantly apparent? Churchill was in Germany in 1932 doing some research on an ancestor of his. Someone offered to arrange for Churchill to meet Hitler. Churchill mentioned a few questions to ask Hitler in advance to prep for their meeting. I'll let Martin Gilbert take it from here... "Among them was the following question: “What is the sense of being against a man simply because of his birth? How can any man help how he is born?” This may seem a simple sentiment to us now, but how many people, distinguished people from Britain, the United States and other countries, who met or might have met Hitler, raised that question with him? So surprised, and possibly angered, was Hitler by this question that he declined to come to the hotel and see Churchill. FROM the moment that Hitler came to power, Churchill in his public speeches, and in his Parliamentary speeches, made it clear that the racial aspect of Nazism was a central concern. He always insisted on raising this issue, and pointing out the relevance to his listeners of the Nazi racial policies, and this he did again and again." https://winstonchurchill.org/the-life-of-churchill/war-leader/churchill-and-the-holocaust-the-possible-and-impossible/- 1

The debate thread.
Yeah, thanks, I looked at the transcript, this was about Harris supporting Israel. She did not win that exchange. Everyone knows she supported Palestinians and her protestations about Israel did indeed look week. Trump retorted that Putin endorsed Harris. I don't see that as win for Harris. Any others? -

And history demonstrates he was right to be opposed to the Nazis. So what’s your excuse?- 1

Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill
I am but that is not the point. The point is that whether by luck, judgement or moral fortitude, Churchill made the correct decision in 1940. Before you object and say that hindsight is a wonderful thing, I really don't understand how - even allowing for the overwhelming desire of Europeans at the time to avoid another war so soon after WW1 - a British politician could ignore what was happening in Germany and think that a Nazi-led Europe would be in any way beneficial. -

What are the requirements exactly for credit cards?
So I was playing a very dangerous game of shopping for gaming PCs earlier and I noticed that paying in installments was an option. Out of curiosity, I wanted to try but was told I needed a credit card. Things to note - I’ve only been back in Thailand for 4 months but I work from home and well over 100k a month. I also have a Thai ID card. I tried with K bank. I applied for the credit card and got rejected, they did not ask for any documents or proof of income. According to Reddit (not the most reliable source) you don’t have a credit score until you take out a loan or credit card. So I am curious, did I get rejected because my income is from overseas or not being in the country long enough? All I’ve been told is that my info doesn’t meet the banks criteria. Thank you in advance. -
