Funny how people only care about “fighting Islam” when it’s convenient to throw it at Brits. The reality is, we did fight – and many still do, whether in uniform, as I did, through community work, or simply by standing up for British values at home while being vilified for it. We’ve spent decades dealing with the fallout of poor immigration policies, weak leadership, and cultural appeasement pushed by out-of-touch elites. Meanwhile, we’re told to stay quiet or risk being called names. So if I’m “not back home fighting,” it’s because I already fought— very vocally—while others were still pretending nothing was wrong. We then get branded Tommy Robinson lovers or bigots. The Bigots, in my view, are on the other side supporting this vile invasion by a culture that hates us and what we stand for. Ask yourself this: Are you criticising because you care about Britain, or just looking to score points?

I’m deeply concerned about the growing influence of political Islam in the UK and the consequences it’s having on our national identity. Like many others, I feel let down by successive governments and the left-wing establishment, who seem more interested in appeasement and ideology than in protecting the fabric of British society. While I don’t see Reform UK as a perfect solution, it still offers more backbone than the mainstream parties. We need to be honest: there are real problems tied to failed integration policies and parallel communities forming within our towns and cities.. We have Issues like grooming gangs, drug networks, and the emergence of Sharia-style courts that must be confronted openly and without fear of being smeared as bigots for simply demanding accountability and the rule of British law. This isn’t about race or religion—it’s about values, loyalty, and whether those who come to live in the UK respect our way of life, our laws, and our freedoms. We are a tolerant nation, but tolerance must not be exploited as weakness. We must defend our culture and identity with pride, not shame. And above all, we must stand up for the future of Britain—before it’s reshaped beyond recognition by those who reject the very foundations that made it great. I could delve into it further, but once I start discussing this subject, which I have researched extensively, I become frustrated about why I can see it, and so many others can't, or won't.

Fantastic, I completely agree with you and share your views.

What do we think like that? Damn right we do!

Not Britain or typical British behaviour, This is a site run by Muslims for Muslims in the UK, and all their misogynistic ways and degradation of women are included free of charge. It has nothing to do with normal behaviour or thinking of a typical British man who grows up with Western values.

My home airport is Manchester. I fly with Qatar, but I don't drink Starbucks. My son picks me up and pays for the airport parking.

I want him to tell us how it will be policed? or is he going to ask his daughter as she seems to have all his answers.

Why? The Thai males would just run off as usual, having said that, same as the European males nowadays, ....no responsibilities!

And unwanted competition for Poipet and Phnom Penn as well.

I agree, Vietnam and Malaysia offer far better value for money if you are not in Asia solely for the nightlife. As others have pointed out here, Thailand isn't keeping pace with the times and is producing regurgitated entertainment. Those working in brothels offer poor value for money at extortionate prices. That, coupled with a poor safety record, increasing scams, and, of course, Thailand is no longer cheap and no longer represents value for money within the region. I don't spend much in Thailand anymore, as I feel it's a rip-off. The best offerings are still value-for-money hotels, but they are creeping up; once they reach parity with European standards, there will be nothing left.

I doubt that. We are in the low season, and Cambodia isn't a major player in tourism, if you take away 2/3-day visits to Angkor Wat.

No. Complete nonsense from those with vested interests. It would draw the worst of the Chinese mafia into Thailand. They've already ruined Sihanoukville, Cambodia and areas of Myanmar and no-go areas in Laos.

Don't worry, inability to read is usual on Asean Now; in fact, I think it's a requirement to comment.

On a serious note, Norse Atlantic Airways, a new airline, has grown considerably, offering tried-and-tested bargain fares to various routes around the world and is gaining popularity with travellers. I hope it works. I googled and looked on YouTube at their offerings, and they are impressive at very cheap prices. Another newcomer offering cheap deluxe and business fares to Thailand is INDIGO, from India, but I will give them a miss. I wouldn't fancy a stopover in Bombay!

I've just learned that Norse Atlantic Airways will commence direct flights from Manchester starting Wednesday, November 26th, aboard a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Only two classes will be offered: Economy and Economy Plus. Flights starting at 11,500 baht return ( 259 GBP ) The main worry is what kind of customers these flights will be carrying! I'll be sticking with the One World alliance group of airlines, I think. Details here:- https://scandasia.com/norse-atlantic-to-launch-first-ever-non-stop-manchester-bangkok-route/
