Oh look! Jack Smith has filed a motion to drop charges against Pres. Elect Donald Trump!
Presidential protection during and after an election became law in the early 1800s. The party out of power would go after the sitting President. That is why protection is so strong. -

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
Russia's ruble drops to more than a 2-year low against the dollar on fresh sanctions and surging tensions Russia's ruble continued to weaken against the dollar on Monday, trading at 104 against the greenback. The currency is now at its weakest level versus the dollar since March 2022, when Russia first began its invasion of Ukraine. Investors were spooked after the US imposed fresh restrictions on Russia's Gazprombank on Thursday, which, up until last week, had been the last major Russian bank that hadn't yet been blacklisted by the US. The new restrictions limit Gazprombank's ability to participate in global financial trade and also prevent the bank from handling transactions related to energy trade, meaning European customers are unable to pay for Russian gas. The latest restrictions are adding to concern over Moscow's weakening economy, which has been battered by Western sanctions since the start of the Ukraine war. Russia's energy revenue fell by nearly a quarter last year, thanks partly to Western trade restrictions including a $60-per-barrel price cap on Russian oil. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/russias-ruble-drops-more-2-000303626.html Trending now on Russian social networks.

Help needed with one question about UK frozen state pension.
@Goodison Thank you for your comments and the link. I agree with all you write. I believe it is the same with having free routine NHS treatment, A&E is always free to everyone. I have heard people say that you need to be back in the UK for 6 months, one person said 2 years. I believe there is no time period, just that you need to be a permanent or habitual resident. After that it is within the law to change your mind. So similarities with this state pension situation. @chiang mai in this thread I think did something similar to Mike Lister. I now have no immediate family in the UK, next year after I sell my UK house and start my UK state pension I would have no reason or desire to visit the UK, apart from seeing a few good friends but that can be done via the internet. Saying that I can remember inflation being over 15% pa in the 1970's so if that happened again and state pensions increased a lot it would be nice to know that I could lock in the increase. I would also like to be totally truthfull to the DWP (but I don't judge people who are not) and being able to lock in an increased rate with a bit of inconvienience would persuade me to do that. I do suspect going to the UK compared to the Philippines would definitely make the habitual resident part a lot easier. Actually I'm not sure that you could ever convince the UK DWP that you are a permanent resident in the Philippines. Sorry I keep using permanent and not habitual, actually I'm not sure if there is any difference. I know in Thailand 99.9% of expats cannot say they are permanent, being able to stay here is not guaranteed in any way. I have a non immigrant O visa ....... I have not immigrated. I will be in the UK March next year and plan to be there for 6 months so I have noted to do my best to find out as many facts concerning my post here as I can. I like to watch some of the Youtuber videos, he has made some recent ones about assisted homes in Thailand compared to care homes in the UK, they were very good. So some things I agree with him others not. -

Thai man sorry for brutal assault of Bangkok taxi driver - video
A Thai man yesterday turned himself in at a police station after brutally assaulting a 70 year old taxi driver following an accident on Borommaratchachonnani Road in Bangkok on November 19. The old driver, who has no family members, remains in hospital since the incident. A viral video shared on a Facebook news page showed the motorcycle rider, later identified as 25 year old Teeraphat, physically assaulting the old taxi driver, whose name has not been disclosed, in the middle of Borommaratchachonnani Road near the Arun Amarin Intersection in Bangkok. The video depicted a heated argument between the two over the accident. Teeraphat accused the taxi driver of failing to use his indicator before changing lanes, which he claimed caused a collision with his motorcycle. Meanwhile, the taxi driver argued that Teeraphat was the one who failed to use his indicator. Teeraphat demanded compensation for the damage to his motorcycle but the taxi driver maintained that there was no collision. Suddenly, Teeraphat shoved the taxi driver to the ground, kicked him in the face, and then stomped on his head before walking away. According to Channel 7, a traffic police officer arrived at the scene and escorted Teeraphat to the police station for drug and alcohol testing. Claim to misunderstand Teeraphat was released shortly afterwards as the tests came back negative and no formal complaint was filed at the time. The taxi driver, unable to file a report due to his injuries, had no family to assist him, and police were unable to contact anyone on his behalf. The taxi driver remains in hospital with severe injuries, including fractures to his facial bones and jaw. He also lacked a mobile phone, making communication even more difficult. Following the public outcry over the viral video, Teeraphat, accompanied by his father, turned himself in at Taling Chan Police Station yesterday, November 25. He apologised on camera, claiming he misunderstood the situation and thought the victim intended to attack him, prompting him to act in self-defence. Teeraphat repeatedly expressed remorse to the victim and the public and promised to enter monkhood after being released from custody. He has been charged with physically assaulting another person causing severe injury, which carries a penalty of six months to 10 years in prison and a fine of between 10,000 and 200,000 baht under Section 297 of the Criminal Law. Teeraphat also faces up to three years in prison, a fine of up to 60,000 baht, or both, for damaging the victim’s property under Section 358 of the Criminal Law.
