    What an angry little man you apear to be. ????  As ever with regard to Brexit, I hear bitterness and sour grapes coming from a sore loser behind those haughty protestations of 'I don't really care', 'your funeral', 'won't affect me' etc. etc.

     

    If none of it matters to or affects you why do you keep unleashing such bile on this forum? Casually labeling people you know close to nothing about with a myriad of different slurs. Calm down eh! Make some sound arguments to support any points you might try to make or... perhaps, keep shtum!?

    I didn't even vote and your correct brexit won't effect me,but I still like to have my say,same same the bulldogs up in issan.

    You didn't answer the question then, and you're not answering now, just giving glib out of question comments. Just to remind you and all Remainers

    "After almost 50 years of failure to reform, were we to stay, what would you recommend British MEP's (10% of the EU Parliament) do and what would you prioritise and how long would you give them to change?" 

    We all look forward to your answers

     

     

    50 years of failure in your eyes,it never effected me in 50 years or any of my family or friends,bulldogs down the boozer feel differently,let them keep imagining it

    Who said the EU is “so perfect”?

    Let's say it must be more perfect then the UK otherwise you would not opt to stay.

    Leavers have given their reasons for leaving ad nauseum on this forum but since you admit the Union is not perfect and presumably feel we should stay and try to reform from within, this is a question I asked on another posting.

    "After almost 50 years of failure to reform, were we to stay, what would you recommend British MEP's (10% of the EU Parliament) do and what would you prioritise and how long would you give them to change?" 

     I did not get one answer to this question (I will leave you to guess why) but, you, having agreed tacitly the EU is not without it's problems I am sure you will be very forthcoming in your reply to it.

    Please don't disappoint.

    80% of UK MPs want in,that will win the day,

    1/1998    52.657055
    7/2019    30.744882

     

    Euro monthly average against Thai baht

    1/1998    56.871117
    7/2019    34.628917

    Same as it was 6 months ago. Same as it was 3 months after the Brexit vote, too.

     

    Did you make any posts about how the pound was rising against the euro between January 2019 and March 2019? ????

    It is dead easy to deliver. Just leave. Simple. It is people like yourself who sit and watch the TV who are run by the establishment, to continually bombard people with project fear. Many people I know are not spineless and understand what the EU are about and not one of those weak minded, who are happy to be dominated by Brussels. I believe I know which one you are.

    Here we go again,in 51 years on planet earth residing in the UK i have never been dominated or felt like i was being dominated by anyone from across the channel,my earnings,work,quality of life,health,hobbies,home,holidays/travel or any EU law have affected me one iota,i can live with gramms and KGs and the banana issue,maybe you cannot,btw what establishment are you on about? as for TV i only watch UK TV,surely the EU are not censoring eastenders and coranation street haha ,as for spineless i think you mean the brainwashed losers in life down spoons.And how you folks think the rabble of useless politicians this nation has at present and for the foreseeable future is going to make your lives better is beyond belief.

    If we're lucky - going to be a larf though for those cannily invested. Let them eat Brexit. Will flush out the impoverished riff-raff from Thailand and that's one positive worth paying for.

    I was a war baby and remember with enormous pride and admiration how my parents' generation build a new Jerusalem from the wreckage of the old.

     

    The challenges we faced back then were far greater than any posed by Brexit. If we fail it will be because of the pessimistic defeatism your posting epitomises.  

     

    So man up - or, to quote the immortal bard, "Screw your courage to the sticking place and we'll not fail".

    more going back 70-80 years from brexiteers,the world has moved on if you hadnt noticed,even if the UK had great leaders like in the past they wouldnt have one iota of a chance of making brexit work the fact we have a bunch of clowns worse than anything in the EU makes it lose lose lose for the UK,the one thing these clowns will not let happen is the break up of the UK and that is where your brexit dream will end.

        Really . 

    "warts and all" the brexiteers are now claiming ????, whatever happened to the land of milk and honey that would be a piece of cake to deliver,the chances of it happening dwindle day by day,i honestly cannot recall the last time i turned the TV on and someone had something positive to say about it,even farage cannot be bothered to lie anymore he's more interested in getting a place in any future talks,like when he scurried out of his peterboro bog to dash to 10 downing st to deliver his grovelling letter for a place at the table,about as near as he will ever get to number 10 i suppose.

    Why do you keep talking through your ears? There are almost 50000 Thai's living in the  UK, some of the women have home responsibilities and don't work which is no different from other nationalities including the Brits. Anyone legally here can find work, many are lucky if they can find jobs specifically aimed at Thais as advertised in Indeed.co.uk

    https://www.indeed.co.uk/Thai-jobs-in-England

    EU migrants are legally here and vast majority here to do the work of the benefit scrounging idle Brits,

     quite from bombers post.

     

    "there are thousands of guys who have landed on the shores of the UK with their Thai wifes and children,perhaps you can tell us what they payed into the British exchequer,i await your reply with interest"

     

    In my case I paid 44 years NI contributions and I started paying income tax from my first job in 1959 when I left school. Now 60 years later I am STILL paying income tax and I will until the day that I die.

     

    So bomber, as they old saying goes, stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

    Fully agreed and a major contributing factor I am not there permanently. A person can only see so many ladies, or temples. As an expat here in NL, there is so much I can choose to do - museum's, festivals, riding a bicycle and general travel in safety, ease of travel, events throughout different cities, like yoga, or neighbors playing music, or traveling along the canals, and much more. No matter where I go and a lot for cheap or free. There is just not much done to attract tourism outside of the already heavy tourist areas. Things need to be done to entice people to travel and do things throughout the country, not just build another temple or mall. If I'm in Bangkok, 4 things stick out to do: 1) Go to a temple (2) Go to the mall (3) Eat - a large contributing factor as to why Thai's are getting so big, or (4) Find a lady and I have a gf now so that is out of the question.

     

     Agreed!! I also think it's about a lack of career progression unless you are willing to pay someone the right amount of money to move up in the company.

     

    I still love the language, the food, the landscapes outside of Bangkok, Thai culture and history (Which I think should be promoted more), and the women, but I 100% understand why Vietnam is the choice for more expats. Even for people traveling, when they ask me between the 2, I'm more apt to say Vietnam. Thailand is and has been becoming more expensive and standards, such as road fatalities per capita and political stability do not seem to be improving much.

    The junta are doing a fine job,Thais have never had it so good,look at those poor Brits

    The public are unaware of what a complete mess the government is in. I don't just mean the politics, but the basic machinery that runs the country.

    I used to work on Technology Transfer projects in the Department of International Trade (DIT) until 2018.

    In order to cut costs (i.e. staff) we had calls for voluntary severance in 2015, 2016 and 2017. I applied in December 2017 and left in mid-2018. The deal was good for me but the main reason I left is that I didn't want any part of the train wreck I could seen unfolding. One of my last projects was a trade mission to Hong Kong around Easter 2018 with Liam Fox - words cannot describe the incompetence and bungling of Davis, Fox and Johnson. They have been described as a Dad's Army - but that is too kind. The UK DIT now has about 30% fewer staff than before the referendum. The most experienced staff have left. I cannot emphasise enough how dire the situation is. The UK is totally unprepared for Brexit. A no deal will turn the UK into the Greece of Northern Europe.

    Does that mean it will be warmer?
