Report EU and US Strike Blockbuster Deal: 15% Tariffs on EU Exports
The EU Single (Internal) market and Customs Union operate efficiently. The EU - like the UK and the US - is a member of the WTO. Like the UK, the EU abides by WTO rules. Unfortunately, the US has chosen not to. That suggests that if any country (bloc) is guilty of protectionism, it is the US and not the EU (or UK). According to World Bank figures, the average weighted mean tariff rate in 2021 was 1.47% for the US, 1.38% for the EU and 0.74% for the UK. Once again, hardly indicative of protectionism on the part of the EU. (Note: 2021 figures were the latest figures which I could easily find). I'll pre-empt the objection that EU regulation on such niceties as animal welfare and safety standards act as non-tariff barriers by pointing out the obvious fact that EU companies have to abide by these exact same regulations. I don't expect these facts to make a blind bit of difference to your opinion as your irrational, ill-informed hatred of the EU appears to know no bounds. -

USA Ghislaine Maxwell’s Staggering Demands for Congressional Testimony
If she clearly states that Donald J Trump took no part in the Epstein activities she'll be given a pardon by said Trump. That's why Trump's lawyer (now DOJ official) is meeting up with her. There are no coincidences. -

Community Villagers Spooked After Finding Human Skeleton Near Road
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Residents in a village in Udon Thani province were left shaken after reportedly seeing an elderly man sitting and shivering by the roadside, only for a human skeleton to be discovered at the very same spot the following morning. Police Lieutenant Sarawut Chomphuthon, an investigator at Phen Police Station, received a report from local residents of a human skeleton found in tall grass by the roadside along the route from Phen to Ban Dan, near kilometre marker 8 in Ban Nong Sa Khrai, Chiang Wang subdistrict, Phen district. The grisly discovery was made by a delivery driver who stopped to relieve himself and spotted bones in the undergrowth. Authorities from the forensic unit at Udon Thani Provincial Police, Pen Hospital, and the Udon Sawang Methatham Foundation were called in to examine the scene. The remains are believed to be those of a man aged between 50 and 60. He was wearing a polo shirt bearing the name of Maensri Language School and a pair of shorts. Found next to the skeleton were a wooden stick believed to be a walking cane, a single Buddhist amulet, a 20-baht banknote and a sacred thread often used in religious ceremonies. Forensic investigators estimated that the man had been dead for over three months, as only the skeleton remained. The remains were taken to Pen Hospital for further analysis, while authorities notified local community leaders in hopes of identifying the deceased. There have been no missing person reports in the immediate area. A local village head, Mr. Apisit Simngam, 52, confirmed that no villagers had been reported missing and said he believed the deceased was likely not from the area. “The location is public land belonging to our village. It’s strange, but no one from our community has gone missing,” he stated. Anyone with missing relatives is urged to contact Phen Police Station, which is open 24 hours. The incident took a chilling turn with the testimony of Ms. Niorn, a 45-year-old resident, who said she had seen an elderly man sitting by the roadside the day before the skeleton was found. “He looked very cold, shivering with his arms crossed. I thought he was just a cattle herder and didn’t think much of it. But when I looked back again, he was gone,” she recounted. This eerie discovery came just one day after another set of human remains, this time a woman, was found in nearby Kud Chap district. Authorities continue to investigate both cases and urge anyone with relevant information to come forward.
