This is just the first nail in the Sony UK coffin and perhaps that of the UK too.

Baggy suits were fashionable at one point in time, many years ago, but a well-tailored suit will never go out of fashion, you can go anywhere in a smart suit.

Wear a 3 piece suit with an Hermes necktie, what could possibly go wrong.

People here over 70 should not be allowed behind the wheel of any vehicle. Period.

Don't be ridiculous. There are many, many young bad drivers, I see them every day. Are you going to give up your licence the day you hit 70?

I don't think they should be allowed to get away with it

Oh I don't think they will get away with it, neither should they. There's little senseless crime here compared to many other countries so perpetrators need to be seen to be heavily punished.

I wish Trump had gotten a lot closer to the battle.

This visit is probably the closest he's ever been to a battle in his whole life.

The steel pillars wouldn't even stop bullets..............

Steel pillars will stop most bullets.

Australia seems to have more things that can bite, sting or even kill you than anywhere else. This, for example, is no joke:-

Stings from these box jellyfish -- which can be smaller than a finger nail -- can cause acute muscular pain, violent vomiting, feelings of "impending doom", hair that stands on end, strokes, heart failure and death within minutes.

And yes it has everything to do with income, and indirectly taxes, as he supposedly/allegedly, under-reported his income, which is contrary to laws here. It's about the deferred income, and directly what he would be taxed.

Ghosn's detention is not because of tax evasion. Neither you nor I know where he is tax resident and which double-taxation tax treaties he may be taking advantage of so, until I know that I would not be indirectly accusing him of tax avoidance in Japan.

.... especially one that involves not paying taxes... that should be between Japan's Taxation Bureau and Ghosn.... I've never seen any company accuse its own employee of tax evasion.

Ghosn's detention has nothing to do with income tax or the Japanese Income Tax Bureau.

This nut job needs to be in a mental institution for the rest of his life!

Seems like he should have been in one already.

Let me get this straight. On top of paying taxes and air fare, ones required to pay this too?

Your country charges departure tax too. (From Incheon Airport website).

International passenger airport fee: departing passengers 17,000 KRW per person, layover passenger 10,000 KRW

How do these mixed onsen work then??

Read the article again, particularly this part:

Please read this Guide to Mixed Gender Onsen in Japan before going to any of the locations listed.

No please no! Not US election reporting starting already.

Boxing and organised crime go hand in hand in most countries, why should it be any different here?

Classic Putin.

Going on offense by changing the subject. He knows full well that this will cause the Japanese foreign ministry bureaucrats to spin their wheels dealing with this. In the meantime, the things Japan wants get deflected / ignored.

Exactly! Couldn't agree more.

They risk there lives to protect Japanese citizens every day. 

How?

Tunnels are also small-bore, using extracted dirt to build walls.

Building walls eh. There might just be a ready-made market for that dirt if you know who to ask.

Good that he has been put away but, was the truck driver prosecuted? He should have been driving such that he could stop within his "seeing distance".

Seems that some candidates withdrew as they don't want to have working for DT on their CV/resume.

He's a clever lad, they should put him into the BoJ to advise them on cryptocurrency.

Pelosi..................... said she had prayed with Trump during the private portion of the meeting, recounting the biblical story of King Solomon asking God for wisdom. After the meeting, the Democratic House fundraising arm immediately sent out an email asking supporters for money.

Mmmm, ask God for wisdom and supporters for money. Religion and money always seem to go together in the US.

French media are reporting -

"The assalians is Cherif C, a 29 years old man of North African origins (2nd generation immigrant)."

But when she got to school, they told her ‘Tights aren’t allowed, because if your legs are warm, you won’t be able to concentrate.’

The school did not tell her this nonsense, a person at the school told her. A good journalist would have found that person and asked them to comment. Their comments (or failure to do so) should be reported along with their name and rank.

After all these alleged misconducts happened for many years while someone at Nissan was in charge of filing his taxes,...............

Nothing to do with his taxes and most certainly "someone at Nissan" would not be dealing with Ghosn's personal taxation.

A further example of Trump's judgement and understanding of current affairs here in his latest tweet:

“The Paris Agreement isn’t working out so well for Paris. Protests and riots all over France. People do not want to pay large sums of money, much to third world countries (that are questionably run), in order to maybe protect the environment. Chanting “We Want Trump!” Love France.”

One of the planes was a "tanker". What happened to all the gas that was being carried by the plane? Is it now in the Pacific Ocean?

Where else?

Seems the whole damn board of Nissan should have been arrested.

HONG KONG (Reuters) - A leading corporate governance advocate said the board of Japanese carmaker Nissan must accept collective responsibility over alleged disclosure failings that led to the ousting of chairman Carlos Ghosn.

The remarks by Jamie Allen, secretary-general of the Asian Corporate Governance Association (ACGA), come as a biennial survey by the ACGA and CLSA, an Asia-focused brokerage, showed Japan sliding three places to seventh in a regional ranking of governance standards - the worst decline in performance of any country.

The hiring company's boss should be arrested too.

My thoughts too, he should be in the next cell to CG.

However, there will be chain of companies involved in supplying this labour and the construction company will claim that they were told by the "supplier" of the labour that they were fully legal.

To me, that phrase should have died right there. Picture adults in suits trying to use Bae and Lit or AF in sentences while 'dabbing', thats how cringey it looked.

"cringey" should die right here too.

The charges against Ghosn have nothing to do with income tax.

As far as I am aware there has been no charge yet.

Absolutely correct, allegations would have been a better word.

I'm no expert at Japanese tax law, but if what Gohsn says it true, this is egregious. To be tax on income promised but not yet received is ridiculous. 

The charges against Ghosn have nothing to do with income tax.
