Trump Declares Victory and Promises a "Golden Age" for America
Everyone acts like they know how to run a country. Most people have never run a hot dog stand. Most people wouldn't know what policies the US needs if someone put a gun to their heads. Elections are a joke. Nobody cares what you think. -

Tak Bai Justice Failure Hits Pheu Thai Party Hardest, Poll Shows
Picture courtesy: Benar News An opinion poll conducted by the National Institute of Development Administration reveals that the southern provinces of Thailand place responsibility for the Tak Bai justice failure squarely on the Pheu Thai Party. The poll, targeting residents of Yala, Pattani, and Narathiwat, casts a spotlight on the lingering outrage over the lack of accountability in the case of the 2004 Tak Bai massacre. In 2004, a protest in Tak Bai, Narathiwat, escalated when demonstrators demanded the release of detained defence volunteers. Authorities attempted to disperse the crowd, leading to seven immediate deaths. Tragically, 78 more lives were lost due to suffocation when over 1,300 protesters were packed into military trucks. This tragic event occurred under the leadership of then-Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. According to the poll, 55.20% of respondents believe the Pheu Thai Party is most affected by the failure to deliver justice in the Tak Bai case. A further 29.99% opine that no political party will suffer. Meanwhile, a small percentage sees this issue impacting the Prachachat Party (4.69%), Democrat Party (1.97%), and others mildly. Contrastingly, when asked if the Tak Bai case influences their voting decision in the next general election, 39.55% of respondents say it does not affect them at all, while 25.21% firmly state it will have an impact. Regarding political preferences, 50.14% of the surveyed populace are undecided on the party they support, although the People's Party garners 18.85% approval, outpacing others including Prachachat (13.68%) and Pheu Thai (4.69%). The findings highlight significant political disenchantment in Thailand's southernmost provinces, reflecting wider discontent with historical grievances unresolved to this day, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2024-11-11 -

Scottish Man Extradited from Thailand Jailed for Sexually Abusing Young Girls
Picture: National Crime Agency // STV news In a remarkable breakthrough for law enforcement, a Scottish man hiding in Thailand for 40 years has been extradited and jailed for historical sexual crimes against children. John Martin, 74, originally from Haddington, East Lothian, was returned from Bangkok to face justice in Scotland after committing decades-old abuse. Martin, a former antiques dealer, was convicted of three counts of child sexual abuse on 25 October at Edinburgh Sheriff Court. His offences spanned across Perth and Kinross, Fife, and East Lothian, affecting two young victims between the 1980s and 1990s. The Edinburgh court sentenced Martin to three years and three months in prison. His name will be added permanently to the sex offenders register, and he is barred from any contact with his victims for 20 years. Lynne Barrie, procurator fiscal for Lothian and Borders, denounced him as a "sexual predator" who traumatised vulnerable girls, and praised the victims' courage for coming forward. Martin's capture and trial were the result of a coordinated effort involving Police Scotland, the National Crime Agency (NCA), the Royal Thai Police's Central Investigation Bureau, and Thailand's Office of the Attorney General. This complex international operation highlights the determination of these agencies to pursue justice for such grave crimes. Duncan Burrage, NCA Liaison Officer for Thailand, remarked on the agency's commitment to tracking down British child sex offenders worldwide. Sergeant Richard Robson of Police Scotland expressed solidarity with the victims and their families, acknowledging their bravery in reporting the crimes and ensuring that Martin faced consequences for his heinous acts. As justice is served, there remains a firm commitment from law enforcement to protect vulnerable individuals and hold offenders accountable, regardless of the time or distance involved in their capture, reported STV news. -- 2024-11-11 -
