Renew Thai DL on METV (Now that Embassy no longer gives POR)
Hi, Thanks for replies. Seems reasonable. When we first started going to thailand to stay there for winter we were going to have GF do TM30 for me in her house (her name is on book), but when we asked at local police station (we have house in Prawet district of BKK) they said it really was not a big deal so we never did it. I only mentioned the "lease" cause I thought that was needed to get the TM30, like there needed to be some sort of contract to show I am staying at their house, but if that just be placed on the TM30 form itself and no supporting documentation needed that would be even better. So just fill out attached at take to immigration along with GF and all the usuall passport and visa junk and should be able to get the TM30? Appreciate it Darren -

U.S. Senators Introduce Legislation to Counter UN Actions Against Israel
U.S. Senators Katie Britt of Alabama and Jim Risch of Idaho have introduced the Stand with Israel Act, a bill aimed at countering perceived bias and actions against Israel within the United Nations. The legislation seeks to prohibit U.S. funding for any UN agency that moves to expel, downgrade, suspend, or otherwise limit Israel's participation. Senator Britt emphasized the importance of standing with Israel, particularly in light of recent events. “The UN should be pressuring Hamas to release every single hostage, not punishing Israel for defending her people and her very existence. There has been a troubling pattern of anti-Israel sentiment across the UN and its affiliated bodies that has undoubtedly undermined their credibility. Not a single dime of taxpayer money should be used to support or fuel antisemitism. It is imperative we use every tool in our toolbox to stand firm with the Jewish people and our great ally, Israel. This includes rooting out and condemning antisemitism in every corner of our own nation,” Britt stated. Senator Risch also expressed strong disapproval of efforts to challenge Israel's status at the UN, describing such attempts as inherently antisemitic. “Any attempt to alter Israel’s status at the UN is clearly antisemitic. If UN member states allow the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization to downgrade Israel’s status at the UN, the United States must stop supporting the UN system, as it would clearly be beyond repair. I am disgusted this outrageous idea has even been discussed, and will do all I can to ensure any changes to Israel’s status will come with consequences,” Risch remarked. The legislation has garnered widespread support, with Senators Tom Cotton, Chuck Grassley, Bill Cassidy, and others co-sponsoring the measure. In total, 34 Republican senators have signed on, signaling a unified stance against what they perceive as UN actions undermining Israel’s position. This Senate initiative parallels bipartisan efforts in the House of Representatives, where Congressman Mike Lawler introduced companion legislation, HR 9374. Together, these bills reflect a commitment by U.S. lawmakers to reinforce their longstanding alliance with Israel and combat perceived antisemitism within international organizations.

Essex Police Under Scrutiny for Domestic Abuse Failures Amid Investigation of Allison Pears
Essex Police, the force currently investigating Telegraph columnist Allison Pearson, has faced significant criticism for its track record on protecting women. Recent figures reveal that the force has had the lowest rate of warnings about potentially abusive partners under Clare’s Law, a measure designed to protect individuals from domestic violence. Clare’s Law, named after Clare Wood, who was killed by her ex-boyfriend in 2009, enables individuals to request information about a partner’s history of abusive behavior. The law operates through two mechanisms: the Right to Ask and the Right to Know. The Right to Ask allows individuals to inquire about their own partner or someone close to them, while the Right to Know requires police to assess domestic abuse intelligence and determine whether potential victims should be informed. In Essex, the Right to Know is applied in every reported domestic abuse incident, with police evaluating whether an internal application for disclosure should be made. If approved, this process enables the proactive release of information to protect a potential victim. However, statistics from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) for the year ending March 2023 show that Essex Police had the lowest Right to Know disclosure rate in England and Wales, acting on just 6.84 percent of cases. This figure stands in stark contrast to the national average. Across England and Wales, the rate of Right to Know disclosures has dropped significantly in recent years, from 55.3 percent in 2019 to 42.5 percent in 2023. Despite the decline, the number of internal applications for disclosure under this scheme has risen sharply, increasing by 147 percent from 7,252 in 2019 to 17,925 in 2023. The Right to Ask mechanism has experienced similar trends. The rate of disclosures under this route fell from 40 percent in 2019 to 35.8 percent in 2023, even as applications quadrupled from 6,496 to 27,419 in the same period. Det Supt Matt Cornish, Essex Police’s lead on domestic abuse, acknowledged the need for improvement. “We recognize that we need to do more to support victims,” he said. He outlined the rigorous considerations involved in disclosure decisions, including whether the information is necessary to protect the person, whether there is an urgent need for the disclosure, and whether it is proportionate to prevent further crime. Legal advice is sought in complex cases to ensure decisions are made appropriately. The scrutiny of Essex Police's handling of domestic abuse cases comes amid broader criticism of the force. In July, a Channel 4 Dispatches investigation revealed that in Thurrock, Essex, 93 percent of car-related crimes resulted in no suspect being identified. This adds to the growing concerns about the force’s overall effectiveness and prioritization of resources. As Essex Police works to address these issues, the statistics highlight the challenges it faces in balancing procedural rigor with the urgent need to protect victims of domestic abuse.
