BREAKING NEWS The Constitutional Court Suspends Prime Minister Paetongtarn Over Leaked Audio Scandal
I'd rather any government in power had their work cut out for them. That's less time they have on their hands for cannabis. -

The US dollar is sinking like a rock
But that has more to do with the euro's weakness... Only a few months ago, many financial analysts expected dollar-euro parity to be just around the corner. Then Trump came up with his insane customs-duty scheme (incl. duties for uninhabited subantarctic islands, only populated by penguins)... 😆 -

Report York Dad Avoids Immediate Jail After Attempted Cannabis Smuggling from Thailand
Photo courtesy of The Independent UK Jason Horne, a 24-year-old father from York, narrowly escaped immediate prison time after attempting to smuggle cannabis worth £100,000 (approximately 4.47 million baht) into the UK from Thailand. Horne was apprehended at Birmingham Airport on November 14 after returning from Bangkok. Border Force officers found 22 vacuum-packed bags of cannabis in his luggage, prompting a legal case that led him to Birmingham Crown Court. Prosecutor Ilana Davis explained that Horne fell into financial distress after losing his job due to an assault allegation, which was ultimately not pursued. Facing severe money problems, Horne agreed to bring cannabis back to the UK for a promised sum of £7,000, succumbing to pressure from what he described as "dangerous" individuals. Despite his concerns, Horne accepted two suitcases on the final day in Thailand, expecting instructions on arrival in the UK. He received no payment for the smuggling attempt, which he now deeply regrets. Recorder Fiona Clancy observed Horne's lack of prior convictions and remorse, noting a realistic chance for rehabilitation. "You have learned a significant lesson being remanded for some time for this offence," she remarked. Having spent over seven months in custody awaiting trial, Horne was sentenced to two years in prison, suspended for two years. He must also complete 25 rehabilitation days and 200 hours of unpaid work. The court recognised his low reoffending risk and potential for personal rebuilding, particularly through boxing, as he seeks to move forward with his life.
