The Hms Cumberland has soldiers and marines but wont dock in case its hostile. Is that a joke?. Our once feared military has become a laughing stock.

The British government are a total disgrace. In a moment of real need, British nationals have been deserted. They are more interested in protecting oil and gas future revenue over human welfare. The MOD treat their own soldiers in the same way. Where is your Queen in all this? What is the point to her and her family? British people waken up!

In Thailand, the British are held in high regard. Why ? The Thais don't read the British press and stories like this, or where a man is hounded to death in his home, or how your hospitals use office workers to control the running of hospitals, where immigrants are given the freedom of the country regardless of whatever they may have done, how the police on the streets are no more, how ordinary people are hounded for tax arrears, because of the Government tax office mistakes, of incompetence right across the board and Greed with a capital G emanating from the pores of government managers and tax avoiding big businesses. Then a foreign rescue farce // Why am I here ?
