£1 billion a month: Rising Benefit Claims by Foreign Nationals Fuel Political Tensions
It is idiotic garbage like this that has me shaking my head. Are you actually F serious? It is NOT a problem that a European (or ANY) national paying their way live in Britain. A total non-issue. Only a bigoted xenophobe would be against that. THE problem is mass unchecked immigration with cap in hand. Sort yourself out, man! -

£1 billion a month: Rising Benefit Claims by Foreign Nationals Fuel Political Tensions
I get that and it grieves me, but all the same they just did what they were told. The ‘silent’ greatest generation would be turning in their graves. There is clearly merit in immigration and I’m all for means tested, absolutely no issue, but this current en-masse influx debacle is a ruiner of states. Putin loves to inflict that kind of damage, but sadly our own perpetrate it (typically rich liberalistic boomers with multiple properties) and will never have to live next door to it. -

Politics Chaos at Ban Khlong Luek Border Checkpoint as Early Closure Catches Thais & Cambodians Out
Picture courtesy of Amarin. Confusion and chaos erupted at the Ban Khlong Luek permanent border crossing in Aranyaprathet district on the afternoon of 7 June, after authorities unexpectedly closed the Thai-Cambodian Friendship Bridge early, leaving large crowds of Thai and Cambodian nationals stranded. At around 16:00, paramilitary rangers from Company 1201, along with troops from the Aranyaprathet Task Force of the Burapha Force, abruptly sealed the border. Military personnel erected steel barricades across the Thai side of the bridge, barring all vehicular and pedestrian traffic from crossing in either direction. The closure stranded hundreds of Cambodian nationals who had been working or trading at the bustling Rong Kluea Market on the Thai side. Many gathered at the checkpoint, desperately trying to return home. Similarly, Thai workers based in Poipet, Cambodia, were unable to re-enter Thailand. Military officials explained that the move was part of a graduated response strategy. Authority for such closures had been delegated from the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Thai Army to the First and Second Army Region Commanders, who now have discretion to open or close border points as deemed necessary. Additionally, the Army announced revised operating hours for all permanent and temporary border checkpoints. Effective from 7 June 2025, official border opening hours have been shortened from the previous 06:00–22:00 to 08:00–16:00. Trade-relief points will now operate only from 08:00–12:00. Further restrictions were also imposed: Thai nationals are prohibited from crossing into Cambodia for gambling or tourism purposes. Only Thais employed in Poipet are allowed to travel between the two countries and their Cambodian visa stays have been reduced from 14 days to just 7. Today marked the first day under the new 16:00 closing time, but the abrupt enforcement caught many off guard. Soldiers began sealing the checkpoint at the scheduled time, without prior public warning, triggering confusion and frustration among those trying to cross. In a bid to defuse tensions, the Commander of the Burapha Force later granted a temporary exemption, allowing stranded Cambodians to return home. However, Thai citizens and tourists were still not permitted to cross. The measure helped ease congestion and calm the situation at the border, which had reached near-panic levels earlier. This development comes amid heightened security concerns and a tightening of border regulations in the region. Officials have yet to confirm how long the stricter measures will remain in place.

Accident Lorry Driver Falls Asleep at the Wheel, Kills Policeman and Elderly Woman
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A devastating road crash in Chonburi province has claimed the lives of a traffic police officer and a 66-year-old woman after a lorry driver allegedly fell asleep at the wheel and veered into oncoming traffic. The fatal crash occurred at approximately 18:00 on 6 June on Route 349 (Phanat Nikhom–Nong Chak Road) in front of a Shell petrol station in Moo 9, Thung Khwang Subdistrict, Phanat Nikhom District, Chonburi. Police Lieutenant Colonel Khemanat Sukee of Phanat Nikhom Police Station was notified of a serious collision involving a lorry and a car. Emergency services from Thung Hiang Rescue Unit and Panat Nikhom Hospital were quickly dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, they discovered a black Honda Jazz, registration number from Chonburi, with its front damaged. Trapped inside the wreckage were Police Lieutenant Manop Sritrai, Deputy Inspector of Traffic at Mueang Chonburi Police Station and Ms Kamonluk Plodprong, 66, who was seated in the front passenger seat. Rescuers worked to extricate the pair from the vehicle and transport them to Panat Nikhom Hospital. Both succumbed to their injuries shortly after arrival due to the severity of their conditions. Nearby, a Hino lorry with registration number from Pathum Thani, was found stationary at the crash site. The driver, identified as 28-year-old Sarawut Photisiri, remained at the scene and cooperated with authorities. Sarawut told police that he had been driving from Chanthaburi to Bangkok via Nong Chak and Phanat Nikhom when he briefly nodded off at the wheel. He acknowledged the momentary lapse led his vehicle to cross into the opposite lane and strike the victims’ car head-on. “I was tired and must have dozed off. I didn’t mean for this to happen. I am truly sorry for what I’ve caused,” he said, visibly shaken. Police took Sarawut into custody for further questioning. Legal proceedings are underway, and he is expected to face multiple charges, including reckless driving causing death. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-06-08
