World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
- 
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
 - Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
 - Title must match the article headline
 - Not United States Internal News
 - Recent (Past 30 Days)
 - Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
 - Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
 
 - 
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
 - 
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
 - 
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
 - 
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
 - 
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
 
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- 
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
 - 
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
 
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The visit to Bangkok was one of many trips Andrew took at British taxpayers’ expense when he was serving as an official trade envoy for the UK in the early 2000s.
I feel like maybe the British public should rely on the British civil service to negotiate their trade arrangements, rather than the royal family.
I'm sure the royal family are only really there to add a sense of gravitas and peadophilia to occasion.
Gravitophilia
i love that he's just called andrew now. fucking pedo
At one time?
That's like playing herpes roulette
Ha ha, andrew bad, I agree, but....
You can do research and find a bunch more sources than even the wikipedia article lists, but in essence, if you are at all sexually active as an adult, you almost certainly already have herpes.
Just reality.
The stigma shouldn't be there for something this mundane.
When most speak of herpes we dont mean cold sores ... we mean the blistering crotch infestation.
Just 1 part of the misunderstandings. Both can go to either area even if they are typically found in their respective ones.
Further, most who have herpes, even in the crotch region, will still show no recognizable symptoms and be difficult to test for.
Again, especially considering that condoms are not practically effective for preventing spread, and the results are typically not the horrendous cases you'll have remembered, the stigma still isn't worth it.
I mean, I suppose you could osculate and perform cunnilingus with dental damns, fellatio with condoms and no contact, and copulate and or engage in anal coitus in full body latex, but let's be real, because you won't be doing that, and most people who have it wont know they do, its the stigma that's the biggest problem; the same fear that drives knee-jerk reactions.
Dude. No one cares this much about it. Quit being fuckin weird.
With a machine gun
While it doesn't surprise me in the slightest that Andrew would want to do this but it does surprise me that his handlers allowed him to do it so brazenly.
Even not-particularly-wealthy people can go to a resort / brothel in South East Asia and see 40 prostitutes in a few days if that's their desire. Everyone involved would very happily turn a blind eye.
However, doing it on a state visit is essentially the production and provision of kompromat.
It's interesting that the bangkok post has chosen to publish this now.
Thailand has strict Lèse-majesté laws prohibiting any negative commentary about royalty. I wonder if that applied to foreign royalty and if so, whether it no longer applies now that Andy is no longer a "Prince".
whether it no longer applies now that Andy is no longer a “Prince”.
Randy Andy is the Prince of the Nonces.
The nonce formerly known as prince
He's still a prince, he just quietly agreed to stop calling himself one publicly
Ah, no... the King has very publicly stripped him of his title and evicted him from the royal property in which he resided.
Source? Because I've heard this repeated a lot, but where's the ceremony? Where's the paperwork? When did the title actually get stripped?
It's kinda like declassifying documents, you can't just do it in your mind. It requires some bureaucracy, and as far as I understand Parliament needs to get involved for this one
Seems like a pretty good explainer:
https://bbc.com/news/articles/c5ylk9r336zo
However, i infer from your comment that youre incredulous?
Why would the BBC report it if its not true?
He's still in the line of succession for the throne. Changing that would require an act of parliament, which I assume will happen soon. But until then, even if he's no longer called Prince, being in line for the throne is kind of what makes a prince/princess.
That is what I consider too many sex workers.
Say what you want about the man, but he’s got stamina. There’s hardcore gooners who wouldn’t manage 10 waifus a day, 4 days in a row.
one time i went to a strip club in my 20s, and i always thought it was a "no touching" thing. this girl put a rag on my lap and said i could touch her where ever and it was one of the most awkward experiences in my life.
it's safe to say i never went back to a strip club after that.
... A rag?
I've never been to a strip club, and now have no desire.
Been to plenty and can't see that flying for 2 seconds.
It's a neat experience if you're a man with a female date. The dancer's treat you very differently and bend over backwards to make your woman feel comfortable and wanted there. Great fun!
yeah that's what went though my head
My friends bought me a dance from a male dancer, in a private booth... once in there, the guy told me they'd paid for a blowjob as well. I kept my dick in my drawers and we chatted for a few minutes instead. Who the fuck wants paid sex, ick
I mean, the thing is, is that if your ok with that, you do you, but for me, sex isn't like somthing i do so casually with anyone like that. There's of course that thing where "men" are supposed to enjoy it, but for me, i had a feeling inside that this was wrong and not the way i enjoy doing things. I mean there was nothing wrong with the stripper she was a nice and i went for a smoke we chatted, but im kinda more like "can i buy you a drink and lets talk" kinda person not "netflix and chill" type of person.
Just ask if you can shake her hand or something
lol
In a row?
Oh the English royal not the Tate one
Well the confusion is understandable since they are both the same level of "classy"
I wonder if they were underage? They say women if they're over 9 years old in those crowds.
Disgraced former prince Andrew once had 40 prostitutes brought to his five-star hotel over four days during a taxpayer-funded trip to Thailand, his biographer has claimed.
Andrew engaged with the women over a four-day stretch, royal historian and author Andrew Lownie alleged, according to a report in the New York Post and other media outlets.
sorry what crowds ?
The child rapist crowds
Very highly likely that at least one of these encounters involved children. Andrew is a sweaty, greasy nonce and needs to be locked up in a commoners prison where he belongs.
*Intermittently sweaty.
10 hookers per day? dude is an olympian
He's similar to a Steam user in that he purchases more games than he actually plays
Don’t be too impressed. Half were sat around a table feeding one another hotdogs, while the other half were wiping tears from his face and consoling him in Thai.
Is 40 enough? 🤔
Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well
