Accident Woman Dies After Brit’s Stunt Crash in Pattaya
Contrary to what some people would have you belive not everyone in the UK is on benefits far from it in fact. Though everyone does have the benefit of free heath care and education for their children no matter how much or how little money they have. -

Accident Drunken Monk Crashes Car, Seriously Injures Woman in Chaiyaphum
Picture courtesy of Workpoint. A monk has been arrested after allegedly causing a road crash while driving under the influence in Ban Phet, Bamnet Narong District, Chaiyaphum Province. Police received reports of a multiple-vehicle collision at around 21:00 on 16 August near Ban Lung intersection on Rungruangsri Road. At the scene, officers found a grey Ford pickup with damage to the driver’s side, a red-and-black Honda Wave motorbike lying wrecked on the roadside and a 31-year-old female motorcyclist seriously injured. A white Toyota sedan nearby also sustained significant damage. The driver responsible for the crash reportedly fled the scene in a black Chevrolet sedan. Police pursued the vehicle to Ban Tako village, where it was found abandoned with a damaged front end and broken lights. Officers discovered a monk nearby acting suspiciously and brought him in for questioning, as the driver responsible. A breathalyser test revealed an alcohol level well above the legal limit, prompting authorities to defrock the monk. Victims and witnesses later gathered at the police station to file formal complaints against him. The incident has sparked outrage in the local community and highlights ongoing concerns about the behaviour of monks. Adapted by Asean Now from Workpoint 2025-08-18 -

Updates and events in the War in Ukraine 2025
A weak article by Neil, reduced to a mere columnist for the Daily Fail. I realise you are constantly fond of talking up Putin and the Russian, and so seek any article that supports your own conceit, rather than parroting your own view in anything like a cogent manner. Andrew Neil declares that Europe has been reduced to the role of spectator in a world being “remade.” But let’s pause. Was it mere spectators who rallied billions to Ukraine when Washington wavered? Was it passive observers who doubled defence budgets, forged new security pacts, and began the most serious rearmament since the Cold War? To claim Europe is condemned to silence because Trump and Putin staged theatre in Alaska is to confuse venue with influence. The summit may have taken place on American soil, but the consequences play out on European battlefields and in European treasuries. And in those arenas, Europe is not watching—it is underwriting, it is arming, it is deciding. Neil suggests the continent has lost agency. Yet it is Europe that has written the cheques, supplied the tanks, trained the soldiers, sheltered the refugees, and set the red lines. You know how many Ukrainian troops the UK alone has trained? 5 divisions worth, through Operation Interflax. The EU, through EUMAM, has put together almost 7 divisions. The US; about 1 division. The U.S. may thunder in headlines, but it is Europe that sustains the war effort day after grinding day. Observers do not mobilise entire industries for war production; architects do. Indeed, the very reason Trump rushed to meet Putin in Alaska is because Europe’s stance has boxed Russia in. Putin knows he cannot fracture European unity, so he looks westward for concessions. That is not Europe’s irrelevance—that is its leverage. The truth is simple: Europe is not condemned to watch history being made. Europe is making it. What Neil mistakes for sidelining is in fact a redistribution of weight—one in which Europe is no longer content to play junior partner to America, but is learning, painfully and necessarily, to stand on its own. So no; Europe is not an observer at someone else’s play. It is authoring the next act.
