UK emigration is happening , not only going to work in other countries . Unlike the UK , these new motherlands only accept applications from those who have skills or high levels of educational qualifications . So while the UK loses talent they are being replaced by uneducated , unskilled , uncivilized persons who are adding to the burden of the public purse . Brain drain . This Labour government are changing the British way of life , for the worse . They have only just started and there will be much worse to come . The Spring Statement on March 26th , rumored , a rise in income tax , a means test on pensioners triple lock state pension increase . Up to 100,00 foreign workers brought into the UK to build the 1.5 million new homes ( needed for the 3 million immigrants already here ? ) , an amnesty for 350,000 illegal immigrants . Is there no control or regulation on how governments perform ? This bunch of Labour muppets need to be kicked out asap . The UK now almost beyond recognition .

She will give a Spring statement on March 26 and is expected to increase personal income tax and other taxes . All forecasts from industrialists and the financial sectors are gloom and doom . The scary thing is , how much damage could she do if allowed to run the full term ? About to happen is a battle with the farmers , unless she does a U turn . Labour is changing the planning laws to allow easy planning for the building of 1.5 million new homes . These new homes are needed by the first time buyers but there is hearsay that the majority will go to immigrants . The UK building industry stated that they are 100,000 builders short at the moment which means that the people to build these homes will be recruited from abroad . In order to achieve this Starmer is negotiating with the E.U. to allow free movement of labour . Homes ? In order to hit the 1.500000 target there will be many blocks of flats in rural areas . You ain't seen nothing yet . Just because a political party is elected , it should not give them a free hand to destroy the country . You would think that there would be laws in place to oversee the governments questionable actions that may cause damage to the country and secondly to ensure that election pledges are kept and not statements to win votes .

As he has been out of the UK for a long period , he may not be entitled to free NHS treatment ? Unfair I think but I seem to recall that does happen . Ironically there are many invaders jumping into rubber dinghies in France to cross the channel to the welcoming arms of the UK authorities , put into hotels where they are taken good care of and get free hospital treatment . Sorry to digress but this is typical of how some real Brits are treated .

I escorted an English man back to the UK because of dementia .I had been helping him because he could not get money from the A.T.M. I spent an afternoon on the phone to his UK bank asking them to confirm his PIN number because he could not get any money . The bank were loathe to give any info but finally after much pleading by me , they said that the PIN was correct but there was no money in his account . He was being ripped off by his Thai lady . She was an aggressive woman who was against his return to the UK but when I told her he was going back to sell his house and then return to Thailand , she agreed . A further complication was he had not renewed his retirement visa and was 1 year overdue . At Suvarnibhum I had to explain his dementia and paid the 20,000 baht fine . I was in contact with his son who was unable to fly to Thailand because of business commitments . The son paid for the flights . After arriving in the UK I kept in touch with his son who told me that the doctors believed he had been drugged over some time and was now in a better health . Care homes waiting times in the UK can be as much as 5 months and longer under social care .

What have you got against man-bags ? I like my man-bag for carrying my 2 telephones , my wallet ,passport , bank book ,cigarettes , tissues , condoms , spectacles in protective case , etc etc . I am a 100% heterosexual man , maybe you are fighting against your feminine traits ?

The beach side walkway is ok but not on the shops side

In a nut shell , Thai walkways are acceptable to Thai folks . They know no better . Walkway tiling around shopping malls may look nice but come the rain it turns into a slippery surface because non slip tiles were not used . Below are extracts from the Tourism authority of Thailand . The vast majority of physically challenged Thai people live in rural areas. Generally, it is the responsibility of families to care for and provide for their disabled relatives, and there is very little government help available. This includes a lack of services for physically challenged travelers, such as wheelchair ramps and elevators, and consequently, those who attempt to travel with disabilities in Thailand can have a challenging time Travel & Getting Around Thailand is not an easy place to visit for people with reduced mobility or other physical challenges. The larger resorts and tourist attractions provide facilities for disabled people, but in rural areas public transport is limited and often inaccessible to wheelchair users. Moving around the city can be extremely difficult for disabled people. The streets and pavements are uneven and few buildings provide ramps and handrails to aid disabled access. Guide dogs are rare and there are few audio signals for the blind at traffic crossings. Nonetheless, a project has been announced by the Bangkok governor along with the Disabled People International Asia-Pacific Region to ensure that Bangkok pavements are easily navigable for those with reduced mobility. A commitment has also been made to make public transport more accessible. So by their own admission they are aware of the hazards for pedestrians but as yet I have not heard of any plans to make improvements . Maybe the TAT should conduct a survey of tourists opinions of Thailand to include questions on health & safety .

Cos many crimes have been declassified . Police no longer attend shoplifting incidents as an example . Knife crime is rife , phone thefts have doubled in the last 5 years , 80,000 + per year . You need to get out more or buy a TV to keep up to speed with the latest news .

This forum has spoken about the dangers of using Pattaya's footpaths many times . Certainly should carry a health warning . Not suitable for infants push chairs , invalids wheelchairs or elderly folks who have a mobility problem . Not to mention after having a few beers etc . Vendors taking up walkway areas . Drop down kerbs of 1 foot . Compared with other popular holiday destinations Pattaya's walkways are a disgrace but not the only venue in Thailand with such low standards . During Covid when there were very few visitors , there were opportunities to make decent , safe walking for pedestrians . Example , Beach road could have been made into a much wider walkway or promenade and still room for traffic . Pattaya needs re-modelling and made visitor friendly . Shame on the city bosses .

No need to be pedantic . OK , for your benefit I will call it causation and you know its true that the UK crime rates have soared over the last few years because of the uncontrolled immigration that brings with it many criminals . Or do you have evidence to prove me wrong ? Why does the English coastguard pick up these invaders , once they reach the English section of the English channel ? No wonder there are so many rubber boat trips . It's welcoming / encouraging illegal invaders . The British navy should make a blockade and tow the rubber boats back to France .

and many for " cash in hand " , many worked within the agency of " Check a trade . com " , plus the crime rate soared and continues to do so to this day because of unvetted , criminal immigrants . Is there a correlation between the huge spike in UK immigration and the escalating crime rate ? Not rocket science is it ?

I believe that the views of Eloquent Pilgrim are held by the majority of the indigenous UK public . Starmer is running scared to the extent of messing with local councils , thus delaying many by elections in May , knowing full well Labour would lose many at the expense of the Reform party . Changing the local councils way of running is to gain control of planning which will result in massive uproar and opposition from the UK population . Rayner is promising 1.5 million new homes within the 5 year tenure of this unpopular government . These homes will be built in not only in towns but also rural villages . These homes will be a mix of houses and flats that will also be used to house many immigrants .

Many were employed by agencies or working for foreign companies that only employed their own countrymen . Much of this foreign labour claimed to be skilled tradesmen but in reality they were cowboys . They came to the UK and worked for smaller money than the local labour . I know of one UK employment agency that set up an office in Poland . The Polish labour were undercutting local UK wages and there were cases where some local UK labour were out of work because of the mass of foreign workers . One of the reasons that Brexit won . Local labour had mortgages to pay etc , the Polish lived in cheap accommodation but were happy because they were earning 3 or 4 times the salary they were paid in Poland .

I doubt that . Lib , Lab and Tory have had their day . There is growing unrest in the Western world with the catalyst being uncontrolled immigration . The UK needs radical repairs with no more slimy governments . Not only Tory voters defecting to Reform but last year nearly 80,000 UK nationals emigrated , seeking a better quality of life , to be replaced by approx ; 1 million ,mostly non skilled people . UK emigrants would be made up from either skilled tradesmen , medics and professional business people . In other words a brain drain . It is happening right now and will continue whilst the Labour government is in power . The UK is all but finished as a decent place to live and bring up a family .

NHS nurses and others about to revolt on a 2.8% pay rise and a shorter working week , currently 110,000 vacancies . Police Federation are seeking to form a police union which will enable them to strike because of low pay . Police recruitment is aiming at 20,000 but many of the current police force are getting out / retiring asap thus trying to increase the police numbers is in a catch-up mode . Local government / council workers and teachers within the Unison union are dissatisfied with their pay . There is a lot of unrest from government employees .
