How Many Notorious Foreign Criminals Are Hiding Out in Thailand?
Thank you for your confession. But fear not, your secret is safe with me. Nobody else will ever know. -

Europe remains the key to Britain’s future economic success
An attempt to stifle the City of London by regulation by the EU might also have the undesired effect of driving US institutions away. The only winner then will be New York. There certainly was a lot of fear about passporting, but Armageddon has been avoided (up to now). The EU realises that it is not in their best interests for the City of London to fail. Yes, there has been some peripheral damage. We agree. I'd say it was the reverse. There are pockets of severe decay but most places are fine. The major conurbations such as London and Manchester are much better places to live now compared with 40 years ago. For reasons which I have stated previously, I don't believe that there will be a major relocation of financial services from London to Frankfurt. However, playing devil's advocate, if this were to occur the effect would be huge. Why would major financial institutions feel the need to keep a presence in London? In all probability, London would become akin to what Leeds is now and provide a few niche financial services. Pharma is an important industry in the UK but its' presence would do nothing to mitigate against the effects of the demise of the City of London. I don't doubt for one minute that the UK needs the EU and US more than they need us, however, to casually dismiss a major downturn in the UK economy as insignificant - especially to the EU - is over-simplifying matters. What we see from events in the US is that even the world's largest economy cannot dictate the terms under which world trade is conducted. -

Low IQ democracy
I know right? Maybe people won't say anything but I never heard anything good from expats regarding those trucks. There's a frequent comment people seem to have "if I was going to vote it wouldn't be for that guy" as they're annoyed with the noise. -

Another Lazada scam story
Your right that they appear a tad smaller however if I was playing devils advocate......I don't think that is how you measure a waistband. How much material goes around to the back and perhaps it is stretchy...........maybe "stretching " things a bit here ...... As others have clearly said why would you buy an unknown brand online - and just before you are due to go away...... -

I still have an overdue library book that I borrowed 55 years ago from Leicester Childrens' Library, and I'm still hiding from the British police.....
