My son told me the philosophy for a good a business was to quote higher than you actually charge. So initially it was the death penalty but he was sure that the king was working on an amnesty. Then he got 90 years reduced to 40 years an then down to 18!!!!! Yea he was dam lucky and he made the most of every day. Good on him!!!

so you got caught with drugs in a country that got the death penalty and you crying about being corrupt well lets twist things if it wasnt corrupt you would have still been in prison or even worst killed. corruptions is world wide not just thailand in america also in europe also if you have money you buy ur way out of prison if not u be there. but still my point is be thankful you were in a corrupt country and you might have found the right people to get you out soon. i know people in thailand getting sentenced 30 to 40 years with 5 grams or less so shush and be thankful

Fought a ferocious struggle for a sovereign nation for centuries...... To surrender it over to the globalists. I was under the impression that Sinn Féin/IRA and many other republican "Nationalist" organisations were pretty open about their far left , Marxist , Socialist leanings. How can someone be a nationalist and a Marxist ? 🤔....doesn't make sense. Marxism is a global movement, they don't believe in class, national or racial divisions. The current Ireland today, the multicultural utopia..... Isn't that what the Irish Republican movement wanted ?
