Trans woman caught smuggling 26 kilos of cannabis into the UK
Another genius from the UK 🤦🏻♂️ --- https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15005893/Trans-woman-cannabis-sex-change-operation-jailed-mens-prison.html Trans woman caught smuggling 26 kilos of cannabis into the UK to try and fund a sex change operation is jailed for 18 months in a men's prison 10:46, 16 Aug 2025, updated 10:46, 16 Aug 2025 By CIARAN FOREMAN A trans woman who was caught smuggling 26kg of cannabis into the UK in order to fund a sex change operation has been sentenced to 18 months behind bars in a men's prison. Keira Borrett, 46, from Gorleston-on-Sea, Norfolk, was discovered with two suitcases full of the Class B drug when stopped by Border Force officials at London Heathrow Airport on May 23. Borrett, who was born a male but identifies as a woman, had been returning to the UK from Bangkok in Thailand - where Isleworth Crown Court heard the smuggler made a deal to transport the drugs in exchange for £10,000 transitional surgery. Prosecutor Sahra Ali said police had been told how Borrett had bumped into a man from Essex in a Bangkok bar, where the conversation turned to how expensive said surgery had become. After being introduced to accomplices of the Essex man, Borrett received a drop-off by two men in an SUV which contained two 'very heavy' bags, which were then checked in as luggage under Borrett's name. Borrett was instructed to take these bags to a hotel once touching down in the UK and was informed a payment of £10,000 would be sent for doing so - in turn funding the surgery. However, Borrett's attempts were thwarted when the airport luggage check revealed that the two suitcases were stuffed with vacuum-sealed cannabis parcels which had a total value of around £800,000, prompting the smuggler's arrest. Borrett pleaded guilty to smuggling the Class B drug at an earlier hearing. -

CoR requirements at Jomtien
Last time I got one at immigration they also wanted proof of why I needed a COR, in this case they copied my car blue book which I was getting a new one. Time after that I let an agent get it... seemed simpler! -

Community Pattaya “Baby’s Body” Turns Out to Be Rubber Doll
Pictures courtesy of Kaoded. Residents of South Pattaya were left shaken and then rather red-faced on the night of 24 August, after what appeared to be the body of a baby dumped by the roadside turned out to be nothing more sinister than a life-sized rubber doll. Multiple police and rescue workers rushed to the scene outside a motorcycle showroom on South Pattaya Road after receiving an emergency call from a concerned local. The tip-off seemed grim: a black plastic bag with what looked like a tiny arm sticking out. Crowds gathered as officers cordoned off the area, with whispers spreading quickly that a horrific discovery had been made. The drama reached its climax when rescue volunteers carefully opened the bag, only to reveal a baby-sized rubber doll staring blankly back at them. Relieved gasps and embarrassed laughter quickly replaced the panic. “I honestly thought it was a real baby,” admitted Farid, 33, who reported the find. “You don’t take chances with something like that. Better safe than sorry.” He also recalled seeing a middle-aged foreigner loitering in the area earlier in the day, though whether he had anything to do with the abandoned toy remains a mystery. Police say they will review nearby CCTV footage to determine who left the doll behind. In the meantime, locals are just happy it wasn’t the tragedy they feared. As one onlooker put it with a smile: “Only in Pattaya could a crowd gather for a rubber baby.” Adapted by Asean Now from Kaoded 2025-08-25 -

UK-Politics Farage's Push: Five Daily Migrant Flights and UK Unrest Warning
Nigel Farage predicts chaos unless his bold deportation plans take flight. Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, has sparked controversy with his warning that Britain could descend into unprecedented chaos if his strategy for "mass deportation" of asylum seekers isn't enacted. Farage claims unrest could surpass the infamous 1990 poll tax riots if decisive action isn't taken against illegal immigration. Facing a torrent of criticism, Labour has dismissed his proposal as fanciful, while the Tories accused Farage of merely repackaging their ideas. In a bid to regain control over the growing challenge of small-boat crossings, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch is mobilising Tory councillors. Following a recent legal victory in Epping, Essex, that blocked asylum seekers from being housed in a local hotel, Badenoch plans to arm councillors with the tools needed to challenge Labour's approach and tackle local asylum accommodations. Seeking to outflank both major parties, Farage has unveiled an ambitious £10 billion plan called "Operation Restoring Justice". This bold proposal involves five daily flights deporting migrants and includes barring small-boat arrivals from applying for asylum in the UK. Farage proposes using "surplus" RAF bases to detain up to 24,000 individuals within 18 months. His radical approach includes withdrawing from the European Convention on Human Rights and the UN Convention Against Torture to enable the deportations. Additionally, Farage is exploring potential agreements with "third countries" like Rwanda and Albania to accommodate asylum seekers, with British overseas territories such as Ascension Island serving as backup options. Despite international concerns over human rights, Farage plans to use British diplomatic influence to negotiate return deals with countries like Afghanistan and Eritrea, major sources of small-boat migrants. Farage has defended his plan, stating his primary obligation is to protect British citizens, regardless of the international implications. He insists the situation must be resolved to avoid chaos greater than the poll tax riots, emphasising the urgency of immediate action. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Daily Mail 2025-08-24 -

EU Germany's Tough New Bid to Slash Migrant Rights Stirring Fury
Germany's government wants to cut failed asylum seekers' access to lawyers. Germany’s chancellor is making waves with plans to deny legal rights to failed asylum seekers. The move, championed by the Christian Democrats under Friedrich Merz, aims to boost deportations by removing what they claim are legal loopholes allowing migrants to vanish. Critics are alarmed, fearing the plans could lead to unlawful detentions. Pro Asyl, a German human rights group, condemned the proposal as "undemocratic" and "constitutionally questionable." The interior ministry defends the move, asserting it will tackle illegal migration. They argue that obligatory legal support, introduced by a previous government, simply slowed down the deportation process for those with no right to stay. This proposed law forms part of a sweeping migration reform package approved by Merz's cabinet in June. Measures like pausing family reunifications are already active to counter the rise of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), which gained ground in February’s election. Merz’s party is under pressure to act after three fatal attacks last year by migrants illegally residing in the country. The attacks in Solingen, Aschaffenburg, and Munich have spurred calls for swift legislative action. It’s been ten years since Angela Merkel opened Germany's borders to a million refugees. During her time, Germany took in 3.5 million refugees from conflict zones such as Syria and Ukraine. This welcoming policy has been replaced by Merz’s stricter approach. Following these reforms, asylum claims have sharply declined, easing the strain on public services. Authorities report dismantling emergency tent shelters as fewer migrants arrive under the new measures. While Merz’s government claims credit for the drop, some indicate the decline began under former Chancellor Olaf Scholz. His administration also enforced border controls, contributing to the overall trend. Ultimately, broader EU patterns might explain these numbers. Last year, irregular crossings into the EU decreased by 38%, a sign of shifting migration routes affecting Europe as a whole. Germany now trails behind Spain and France as the EU's top asylum destination, highlighting a shift in migration dynamics across the continent. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Dailt Mail 2025-08-24
