The Decline of Free Speech: How the UK Became a Third-Class Nation
But you can't say what you want! If I say to a fat person in Thailand "Sawasdee krap, you're a bit fat", they will probably laugh and say "yes, too many Krispie Kremes lol" etc. If I say the same phrase to someone in the UK, then I'll be investigated as uttering a hate crime..... I believe it's the same if someone is bald! -

The Decline of Free Speech: How the UK Became a Third-Class Nation
No... because you do say what you want a lot of the time. It does not mean you can say anything you want on a public platform - there are limits. You still colour within the lines, and as much as many of us may disagree with your content.. its still your freedom to write what you wish (within reason). One of the reasons I haven't blocked you, even though I disagree with so much of your content is that its still a different perspective - I don't want to live within an echo-chamber of people who only agree - different perspectives are healthy (even yours !!!). But the developing limitations towards the 'freedom of speech' in the UK is taking on measures I would start to consider frightening, an abuse of power of an Orwellian nature . The 'Free Palestine' Movement has been able to shut down central London numerous times... The 20% Farmers Inheritance tax were permitted 2 Tractors into central London to protest.. 'One lot' do nothing to threaten the power dynamics in Westminster. The 'other log' have the potential to bring down the government with enough support. I'm frightened for my farmer friends who may post online.... Instead we are seeing a 'narrative' on shows such as LBC - James O'Brien... telling farmers just 'sell a bit of your land to pay tax'... and arguing that 'Farmers travelled to London in 1st Class'... (of course they did - non-premium time tickets: £30 regular (no seat guaranteed) - £45 First Class (food and drink included !!) - No brainer... That doesn't mean they are rich - it means they were capable of planning... .... But, argue against that and they are shot down by woke 'soundbites' which the government love... Start posting facts... and they get 'visited' by the Police... ... No... while it seems paranoid to suggest it - the UK is losing its freedom of speech.. Part of that is for wholly valid reasons... to cut out hate speech, religiously motivated speech and to cut out the spread of false naratives - but that last one is a major issue - who decides what a false narative is ? ....think Covid Vaccines / Global Warming etc - Facebook shuts down posts from people I know are posting facts... but the facts they have do not fit the government agreed narative... ... I'm not a renegade - I just like to be able to read the facts and decide myself. But equally so... I dont want to read stuff that is so obviously fake and designed to mislead us. -

Nissan to Cut 1,000 Jobs in Thailand Amidst Restructuring
every void created by Western and Japanese companies is immediately filled by Chinese companies. The problem is not Thailand, but Western countries and Japan losing strategic markets. -

What the flip is this flying monster in my condo and how do I make it go bye bye?
Just some moth, use a container with lid, cover the moth then slide the lid against the wall carefully -

The Decline of Free Speech: How the UK Became a Third-Class Nation
I can do one better and repeat what I said. I'll bold the bit that you had trouble reading to make it easier for you. The UK though was one of the first countries (if not the first) to give citizens a version of freedom of speech (or at least started the process towards free speech) in the Magna Carter over 800 years ago in 1215. -

Headphone ear-pads: which shop, which product?
Hello, I have the on-ear-headphones Sony WH-1000XM5 (see pic below). They are quite new, but the earpads make me sweat here in Thailand. Now I've seen online there are replacement earpads for sale that give your poor head a cooler time, supposedly. I am sure I could get these earpads from an online shop in Thailand, but is there a recommendable local shop for those earpads in Pattaya or Jomtien? I only know Tukcom. Especially I’d love the shop to fumble off the existing ear pads and to mount the new ones, which they’ll certainly do much better than I myself could do it. It would also be nice to touch the fabric to see if I'm fine with it. I do NOT need pure 1:1 replacement earpads; the original ones are fine. But I need earpads that are clearly better suited to hot climate and head and sit perfectly on my Sony model. If you have any experience with certain shops (including mounting service?) or products (including “cooling gel” ear-pads), I'd like to hear from you. Thanks! -
