Of course he's of African descent, people of many different countries and nationalities, are now British citizens. It's not always the white British that case problems abroad, although they get 'tarred with the same brush' There was a time, not so long ago, when a British Passport was like Gold, now they are handed out like confetti. -

Keir Starmer: Friends Say He Desperately Needs a Break
And for all that you write, you have no data, just specuation. Until the economic results are there, one can not claim a failure occurred. In respect to your example from Pimlico Plumbers, the man has been whinging for years. He was so patriotic that he sold his business to US VC fund KKR sometime ago, didn't he? More recently his firm lost a key case where it tried to keep tradespeople from their earned vacation wages. https://www.pinsentmasons.com/out-law/news/pimlico-plumbers-loses-landmark-uk-holiday-pay-case. Hardly the type of person who can is taking care of his workers is he? -

Thailand's New Year Campaign Battles Drunk Driving amid Road Struggles
File photo for reference only Thailand is launching the "Don't Drink and Drive, Get Home Safely" campaign to reduce road accidents during New Year celebrations. The campaign includes public service messages, random sobriety checks, and increased police patrols to combat the rise in alcohol-related road deaths during the holidays. A government spokesperson urged people to avoid driving after drinking. However, the campaign faces challenges like Thailand's cultural norm of social drinking and inconsistent law enforcement. Police often struggle with enforcing laws, reducing the campaign’s effectiveness. Transport options pose another issue, particularly outside Bangkok where public transit is limited at night. With taxis and ride-shares being costly during peak times, many people have no option but to drive. Economic constraints, along with peer pressure and party atmospheres, often lead drivers to underestimate the effects of alcohol. Critics suggest this campaign risks being seen as a mere PR move without visible, lasting change. Experts believe that while the initiative is commendable, it must be accompanied by stricter enforcement, better public transport, and cultural awareness to make real progress in road safety. -- 2024-12-24
