The baffling 27 years of Richard Burrows, aka. ‘Peter Smith’
Tongjaw replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Read my comment and read the comment I was replying to by Robbkk. His comment was that Thai immigration dropped the ball. My reply was the UK dropped the ball allowing him to leave the country and also allowing passport renewal on an assumed reported stolen passport. Quote from OP Burrows had originally arrived in Phuket in 1997, living on the island under the name Peter Smith – the name in the passport he had allegedly stolen from one of his victim’s father. Somehow he was able to use this passport as ID to set up companies and even renewals for a new UK passport during his time in Thailand. Many questions are being raised how a passport, assumed to have been reported missing by the real ‘Peter Smith’ in the UK, would be able to be used for such a long time without detection. During that time he would have completed numerous 90 day reports , visa renewals and UK passport renewals through the British Embassy inThailand. -

What a load of BS. The UK authorities dropped the ball. Firstly by allowing him the leave the country. Secondly by renewing his passport which was stolen. Nothing the Thai immigration did was wrong, as far as they knew his passport was genuine. -

Are you trying to tell us you’ve been misgendered, what was it the beard or hairy legs that gave you away 🤣 🤣 . Perhaps someone kick you out of the ladies toilet and now you have PTSD 🤣 🤣 -

So you obviously were too lazy to check if she actually worked in A&E? You just jumped on the victim blaming train. Even if she did work in trauma which she doesn’t she would be trained to handle blood and gore. What she’s not trained for is being attacked physical and verbally by a coward from behind or all the media attention. Once again another victim blamer jumps on his keyboard without allowing brain cells to wake up. -

In the case of an 11 year old it is a symptom of being sexually abused and therefore should be investigated. -
Unruly British man goes berserk on Bangkok-London flight (video)

Don’t do that. Allow him back into Thailand so he can get charged with assaulting the steward. Some time in a Thai jail would do him the world of good 😀 -
Efforts Intensified to Enhance Thai Boxing Globally

The point of your comment is??? That’s like saying Liverpool FC would get destroyed playing the All Blacks at rugby, makes absolutely no sense to a normal thinking person. -
So you believe murderers should be allowed to roam free with not punishment?

Lone Kuwaiti Tourist Fights Off Five Young Teen Robbers in Pattaya

Young kids too. Thailand is becoming as bad as UK for knife crimes by youngsters. Sadly as in the UK and Australia their identities are protected by law and all they get is a slap on the wrist. -

Thailand. No person can be held criminally responsible for an offence committed while under the age of seven. A child older than seven but younger than 14 cannot be “punished”, but can be subjected a number of sentences including detention in a school or place of training and instruction. [Penal Code, Sections 73 and 74(1)-(5)] -
OP, will the ATO here in Oz be looking for a cut? My wife just sold some land and would like to transfer the money down here as we live in Oz now. It’s half of what you’re looking to transfer but still a good amount. Like you we are looking at options for the best way getting it transferred. We spoke about a few trips up and down bringing in under 10k cash but it’s a lot of flying.

Factchecking 21 misleading myths about electric vehicles
Tongjaw replied to Bandersnatch's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Anyone who believes China cares about human rights of children is 100% gullible and ignorant. Try doing a little bit of research yourself. Here is a little bit from the European Parliament in 2022. Cobalt is a critical component in rechargeable car batteries and is indispensable for the transition from fossil fuels to sustainable energy sources. The EU’s 2030 climate target will only increase demand for this metal in the EU. The Democratic Republic of the Congo, where the world’s largest known reservoirs of this metal are found, provides a substantial amount of the cobalt the EU needs to meet its growing demand[1]. Despite the Commission’s zero‑tolerance approach to child labor in trade agreements, it is estimated,, according to reports by UN agencies, that in the southern Katanga province, more than 40 000 children are working in hazardous conditions in cobalt mines, with inadequate safety equipment and for very little money[2]. -
Factchecking 21 misleading myths about electric vehicles

If you truly believe there are only 1 or 2 that employ and estimated 44,000 children then you are definitely living in Nakhon Nowhere. -
Factchecking 21 misleading myths about electric vehicles
Tongjaw replied to Bandersnatch's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Nice little graph. I never claimed that cobalt " Blood Diamond of Electric Cars", wasn't used in other products. However your graph from 2021 tells us that the Congo has increase production by 34% to feed the EV industry, plenty of overtime for those estimated 44,000 poor kids. Read below and you will realise that your claim that it is now less than 34% is pure codswallop. A few years ago, revelations about dire working conditions in Congo’s informal mining sector vaulted into the world’s headlines after Amnesty International and the Congolese rights group Afrewatch published a report detailing deaths and injuries among the countless children working in small-scale, hand-dug mines, often in manually carved tunnels that frequently collapsed and buried the young miners alive. Since then, global appetite for Congo’s cobalt has grown sharply, mostly driven by a dramatic increase in the demand for EVs. Nearly 90 percent of the cobalt produced in Congo, home to half the world’s reserves, goes into batteries, including those used by American, French, German, Japanese and South Korean automakers. Demand for cobalt is projected to increase 20-fold by 2040, according to the International Energy Agency. -

Those do gooders EV drivers must be real proud of themselves, keeping all the 7 year olds busy working in the Chinese owned Congo cobalt mines. -
My advice would be to buy a Garmin watch instead. Can pair with your phone and better battery life.
