British Billionaire Brothers Relocate to Monaco Amid UK Wealth Exodus
The Livingstone brothers held ‘Non-Dom’ tax status, something that was established to address the taxation of foreign nationals moving to the UK while holding assets and in receipt of income overseas. British citizens, born and living in the UK holding £billions worth of assets in the UK from which they were deriving income yet having ‘non-Dom’ tax status is obviously ridiculous and injust. ’The Top Brass’ don’t ’allow’ the tax laws have been written in their favour. Addressing abuse of the ‘non-Dom’ tax regulations was already an issue under the last Government, Labour are very right to continue to close these tax loopholes. -

Bow your head with great respect
Then you are not solely agnostic. You're an agnostic something, with agnostic being an adjective. Agnostic means you may doubt, you may be skeptical, you may believe it is not possible to know a thing. That does not imply you don't care or it doesn't matter. -

Report Abandoned Abroad: British Pensioner in Thailand Slams 'Immoral' Frozen Pensions Policy
"For decades successive governments have blatently (sic) lied and misled the public over the state pension.... The UK state pension is probably the greatest unwritten financial scandal of the last century.": CORRECT. UK state pensions may be good for another two/three years. Government already deep in debt and deficit spending still rising. The money has to come from somewhere. -

Report Foreign Lamborghini Driver Sparks Outrage in Phuket Over Reckless Behaviour
Photo via Facebook/ Phuket Times ภูเก็ตไทม์ A foreigner driving a Lamborghini has ignited anger among Thai netizens after being caught on video driving recklessly through the streets of Phuket. Locals are voicing strong concerns over perceived preferential treatment for wealthy foreigners, suggesting that justice can easily be sidestepped with cash. The incident was brought to light when a Thai driver filmed an altercation with the foreign man and his Thai wife, later posting the video on the Phuket Times Facebook page. The post, dated April 28, showcases the foreigner standing defiantly beside a police officer and his luxury car, displaying what many have described as a blatant disregard for local laws. In the video, the foreigner smokes a cigarette and gestures rudely with his middle finger at the person recording, while his wife remains inside the vehicle. The frustrated Thai driver can be heard venting his irritation at the foreigner's conduct, as well as advising the man's wife to intervene. Despite the presence of a police officer from Kathu Police Station, who issued an undisclosed fine for the dangerous driving, netizens expressed scepticism about the effectiveness of the penalty. Comments quickly flooded in, criticising both the foreigner’s behaviour and the perceived inadequacies of law enforcement in dealing with affluent tourists. Critics argue that such foreigners feel emboldened to flout local customs and safety standards, believing money can rectify any legal issues. Observers pointed out a recurring pattern, where foreign nationals face lenient consequences compared to their Thai counterparts, who might undergo stricter procedures like mandatory drug tests for similar offences. "Thai drivers would be absolutely subjected to a drug test for dangerous driving but that would never happen to foreigners," lamented one commenter. Others noted the presence of such individuals around tourist hotspots like Patong, suggesting a systemic issue with enforcement and punishment. This incident has sparked a wider debate on social media about the interplay of wealth, privilege, and law enforcement in Thailand, with calls for stricter measures to ensure equality in the application of the law. As discussions continue, many hope for reforms that will address these disparities and maintain the integrity of Thai regulations. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-04-28
