Well, You are right there, most of them spend more time undoing the policies of the previous government than they do focussing on the important things of the day. Blair was the one who swamped the country with uncontrolled immigration.

I've been up here in isaarn since 2006, believe me, there was NOTHING here then. I like it. And I came from a full on life with businesses in Pattaya.

Backpedalling and trying to justify your nonsense post, which was entirely without basis. The thread was certainly not racist. Point out the racism in the post? Or is it, you just don't like factual reports? Why would my misery have begun on July 4th 2024? BTW, Where does it say in my post as you incorrectly asserted that I flew into Heathrow and was met by a Pakistani immigration officer? You are just a clown who cannot read, aren't you? You then refuse to acknowledge your mistake like a typical Labour lefty

Hi, I did actually list further down in another post in this thread all the towns and cities I visited, but they were all in The North and all were in close proximity to one another by car.

It seems to be OK going the other way, I sent additional information to HMPO on May 27th, and they received it June 4th. Thailand Post track and trace but not EMS

North Yorkshire was excellent.

1. Yes, wine, I bought it cheap and drank plenty of it. 2. I didn't buy spirits. 3. Salads and veg I ate plenty. 4. I have private insurance both in Thailand and the UK. 5. I drive on both sets of roads, I drive a lot in Thailand without a problem. 6. Doesn't apply to me. 7.I am already registered for tax in Thailand AND England. 8. I am not a digital nomad. 9. I don't go to lady bars, I am with current partner 29 years.

Then you have commented and opened your mouth without reading the post properly . You didn't stop reading the post, you didn't read it at all. 1. I didn't fly into Heathrow and nowhere in my post have I suggested that, nor in my post was I allowed into Heathrow by a Pakistani immigration officer. I flew in to MANCHESTER. So, why are you telling blatant lies? 2. I flew into Manchester from Doha. 3. I do not hate the UK in any shape or form, I have two sons and Siblings there, and I still do business there in house building. Where do you get off on here telling outrageous untruths?

Me.

Nothing to do with being outmatched, Cambodia has the international community on its side and one thing these thin skinned politicians hate, is losing face when its obvious they are in the wrong.

I am well aware of that. And those migrants are usually staying long-term to work and settle there, which is a far more complex and costly process.

Ridiculous overkill regarding a border dispute that the ICJ has ruled against them, and now they are just nitpicking on land areas around it. It's not protecting borders, it's bullying a much smaller neighbour.

OPEN

Why should they be on their knees when ' right ' is on their side?

My other half has a 10 year tourist visa for the UK. It was around £1000. But the same as I have done in Thailand we have done for her in the UK. We have obtained the correct legal visas

It has always been The Netherlands. They have not changed the name.

Stupid man

You can't vote for Tommy, he has no political standing. So what are you talking about? Furthermore my post is not anti immigration , my post is about what I saw whilst in the UK.

The population of New Zealand is 5.2 million, population of Australia is 26 million, Canada 40 million. Then look at the size versus population of these countries, compared to the UK. UK population officially is 68 million. 17% born outside, roughly 10 million. No comparison. You are comparing apples to oranges.

A ridiculous comparison. Nearly every member of this board and the wider expat community has followed rules to stay here. They have come through immigration, they have met the statutory requirements to stay here, they are checked and vetted, there are 90-day reports, there are penalties for overstay including IDC, they have identification and passports which can be checked. The vast majority are contributing to Thailand financially through tourism, buying condos and cars, paying for children's education, looking after extended families, and not leeching from the country or system. That beats rolling up in a dinghy, throwing your documents into the sea, and bringing in undocumented terrorists, jihadists, economic migrants, etc Your comparison is a nonsense.

And you don't think the people are now massively regretting it, hence the street protest outside Downing Street and marches nationwide. This Labour government will not last full term.

You're splitting hairs, I think it was fairly obvious what I meant. I obviously didn't mean the whole of the UK
