[Thieves steal $6.6 million of Apple products in UK truck heist]

£6.6 million? So 2 laptops and an iPhone then. And the Apple drones that buy them will need to replace them next year on cue when Apple tells them to.

[Facebook extends ban on U.S. political ads for another month]

It's a comin'!! Election II: This time it's fraud free.

[Pattaya’s boat operators bemoan lack of Chinese tourists]

The boat operators may be unhappy,  but the sea slugs, urchins and everything else that humans consider inedible will be delighted.

[Peruvian archaeologists unveil giant cat carved into Nazca hillside]

They had the foresight to put it next to an upcoming highway. Clever.

[New Zealand's Ardern seeks second term as pandemic-focused polls open]

Jacinda Ardern does not espouse these aims and so is not a socialist. At most, I guess she would qualify for the label of a "progressive."

Well she was President of the International Union of Socialist Youth, and everything that she has said and done  since then stinks of Socialism. I don't know what you think a socialist is, but you might want to have a bit of reflection.

[New Zealand's Ardern seeks second term as pandemic-focused polls open]

New Zealand soon  to become the Cuba of the south. A socialist nightmare financial basket case. I  credited the Kiwis with being fairly bright; they've certainly proved me wrong.

[UK's Johnson shuts pubs in parts of England with new COVID-19 curbs]

The truth is starting to emerge.

[BA to bid farewell to 'Queen of the Skies' with rare dual take off]

Watched it this morning, comedy gold. It was a little bit rainy, so the dual take off was not allowed. Is there anything the English can't f#€k up these days? So risk averse and such pu$$ies, it's embarrassing.

[Japanese fashion designer Kenzo Takada dies from COVID-19]

The authorities are embarrassing themselves  with stunts like this. The man died of old age, trying to link it to this farcically non lethal virus is desperation of the highest order. Let's give the benefit of the doubt and say that he did have one of the covid family of  viruses present in his system (because let's face it, that's all that can be tested for, there is no specific test for covid19), then there is still a huge difference between dying of a virus, and dying with a virus present.

[Google Maps Covid cases layer here?]

My mother died last week, 93 years old, simple old age. Official cause of death? Covid. We are contesting this, it's a flagrant lie. Just had a PCR test done so that I can fly back for the funeral, doctor says that the tests are meaningless and that he hasn't seen any "cases" since March. The only thing you have to fear is your own paranoia  which governments are instilling in to the weak minded.

[Madrid at 'serious risk' without tougher COVID-19 rules, health minister warns]

It's at serious risk of what? Its economy collapsing, social cohesion being torn apart, surrendering additional liberties to the state? Because it ain't covid. 

[Over 80% of Britons not heeding COVID-19 self-isolation rules, study finds]

Perhaps 80% of Britons have realized that this whole thing is a scam and a farce, and that there are ulterior agendas at work that have nothing to do with a man made, rarely fatal fear mechanism.

[What does the Consular team do?]

Ironically the consular team doen't offer consular services (visa, passport) any more, or any other service if they can possibly get away with it. So what are they for?

[Scientists solve mystery of the origin of Stonehenge megaliths]

Scientists drive 10 minutes and discover Stonehenge shaped hole on the ground. Shock horror.

[U.S. Attorney General Barr fends off Democrats' attacks over protests]

Well if the Democrats deny that it is antifa thugs rioting and looting then it's regular Democrat supporters, which is something that decent people have known all along, but is still very worrying. Same boorish behavior displayed by their politicians in the house.

[Thai LGBT activists raise pride flag in anti-government rally]

So many interesting things going on in the world, new science advances, escalating tensions in the South China Sea, but a few weirdos waving coloured flags is TV's "Must Read" story. Interesting set of priorities the lunatics on the left have.

[Where can we meet?]

Surely if 90 odd percent of Thais are against dirty foreigners travelling to and entering Thailand, then surely they must be equally against 90% of Thais travelling too, whether for work, family, business.. Otherwise that would be hypocrisy. Right? 

[Railways unions oppose private investment in Red Line]

If the line is run along capitalist ideals with private investment then it will be expected to be managed efficiently and effectively, to turn a nominal profit and the employees will be required to do some actual work. That model is of course anathema to unions and lefties in general.

[United Arab Emirates set to launch mission to Mars]

Terrific, so with the Indians, Chinese and Muslims all having missions to Mars already, by the time Westerners get there it'll already be over populated and knee deep in garbage.

[Drunk man allegedly shoots son dead]

Kudos. I can barely get my gun out of the holster when I'm smashed, let alone shoot straight.

       Typical Russian Politics, Make trumped up charges to get rid of any possible opposition.

Thailand does it, the Democrats try it. It seems to be quite a fashionable modus operandi at the moment.

[Casting transgender actors in trans roles will make films better – don’t we all want that?]

Sure, why not? If these weirdos and their movies disgust me then I'll just avoid them. No need to stamp my little feet on social meedja and let leftie imbeciles know how I've been wronged.

[UK has 100,000 modern slaves but most go undetected, study says]

Leicester is full of sweatshops simply imported from the home countries of our wonderful guests. The authorities turn a blind eye as they don't want to upset that particular demographic. This allows us all to continue to bask in the glory that is cultural enrichment.

[Former Human Ken Doll Rodrigo Alves reveals new moniker as she details plans to become a mother]

Sometimes I worry that as I'm getting older,  I'm also getting a little weirder. And then I read stories about messes like this and realise that I'm just fine.

[Gunmen kill 24 people in attack on Mexican drug rehab center]

Mexicans seem to be like Indians, there's no thinning out the numbers. They're like Hydras. Good Catholics I suppose.
