Daggers Posted 17 October 2023 Posted 17 October 2023 Sacked for buying two sandwiches, and yet Cabinet members appear to be able to do almost anything and retain their jobs. Maybe it’s time to change how we employ our political masters? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-67121456

Yes, and easy to see now, although I can say that in Thailand in the Early 2000s, almost everyone travelling took an Elephant ride - I don't recall a single conversation about not doing it.
leicsmac Posted 18 October 2023 Posted 18 October 2023 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-67142161 More than 20,000 people in the UK have now been approached covertly online by Chinese spies, the head of MI5 said. It comes amid a new warning to tens of thousands of British businesses of the risk of having their innovation stolen. Ken McCallum was speaking to the BBC at an unprecedented public appearance of the security chiefs of the Five Eyes alliance in California. The newest front in the realpolitik spy game.

I get that this was 20 years ago, but I've been to Chiang Mai a couple of times and most elephant sanctuaries now seem to frown on this practice (publically, anyway) and there's an understanding that it's painful for the elephants. I'm sure there are unethical places for thick tourists and cvnts, but I think it's dying out with education thankfully. The moral of the story: don't fvck with wild animals 50 times your weight.

How much are they paying? I work for the state and I'm broke as ****. Chinese spies - I'll give you all the insider information you could want about pubs, schools, and road closures in North West Leicester but it'll cost ya.
