The most sensible comment from a politician "I want them to stop dying"
rasg replied to BobBKK's topic in The War in Ukraine
The saviour complex is mainly from the Leftie US politicians who can line their own pockets even further under the guise of aid and weapons. -

Correct. Too many have swallowed the coordinated MSM bs. -

If you watched any of his speeches he explains exactly why he started it. Donbass had been attacked many times since 2014 and the US and NATO had not stuck to the agreements in place to keep expanding towards Russia. -

That's a good and accurate article but it doesn’t mention that Hunter Biden then became a Director of Burisma (a Ukraine energy company) with no experience whatsoever and started laundering cash and blackmailing some of the powers that be for cash. -

You only have to take a look at the newspapers and TV news at the time. All still available if you can be bothered to find out what is really going on in Ukraine. -

Even Obama was over there at the time and the MSM were dead against the US at the time. Magically they all fell into line when Putin attacked. Ukraine has been a gigantic money laundering machine for the Bidens and others. -

Well bearing in mind that most of the court cases you refer to have collapsed through invented crimes and using politicised judges and special prosecutors it very definitely has been a political witch hunt. E Jean Carroll who accused Trump of rape couldn't even remember the month or year it took place... The funny thing is every time they try doing something like it, Trump gets MORE popular. By the way, only one of the cases was criminal and the Supreme court struck that one down. Joe Biden, on the other hand, was found, as VP to have stored documents he should never have been allowed to have. He stated that Biden was mentally too far gone to even remember what he did and shouldn’t be prosecuted. We now know that to be true. -

You are thinking of the Joe Biden syndicate. Trump never asks for things for himself. It's always for the US unlike Joe, Hunter and the Biden syndicate, of course. The tariffs Trump imposed on Chinese imports go to the US government. When Trump told NATO to start paying their fair share, most of them did. Nothing wrong with either of those things. Too complicated to discuss?! Don't be ridiculous. As far as Russia is concerned, the US made agreements with Putin that they would not expand NATO and then reneged on it. In 2014 the US State department financed a revolution in Ukraine to oust the sitting president and put their man in place who wanted to join both the EU and NATO. Victoria Nuland of the US State Department admitted it in a phone call you will find online. In the meantime they started to attack their own Russian speaking people in Donbass etc. Think of the Cuban missile crisis and the Bay of Pigs in reverse. There was NO WAY that Putin was going to allow NATO missiles on his borders. If you really want to know what went on back in 2014, watch the documentary Ukraine on Fire. You will learn something. -
I had the pneumonia vaccine in 2020 purely because Covid can lead to pneumonia. The only reason you need a tetanus shot is if you are bitten by a dog or get a cut in dirty conditions. I have requested the Shingrix shot as I had shingles a couple of years ago (I don't want it again, EVER), but I cannot get it in the UK until I am 70 yet a 65 year old can get it, but not somebody who is 66, 67, 68 or 69. Go figure that one out. We have the flu jab every September but stopped after two Covid AZ jabs. Too much nasty stuff now provable about the Covid vaccines for me to ever have another one but regular blood tests show that me and my wife have good immunity from catching Covid a couple of years ago. They admitted a few days ago that 61 people died from blood clots in the UK from the AZ vax. You haven’t said where you live but you only need half of those you mentioned unless you are travelling to an area where the illnesses you mention are prevalent. No way would I have two different vaccines on the same day and having had two AZ vaccines and then they wanted to switch us to Moderna or Pfizer. Not a chance. I want to make it to 70 at least and vaccines that I don't need are not the answer.

European Visa for Thai GF

Thank God my wife now has a British passport! -
European Visa for Thai GF
rasg replied to Asmoseus_uk's topic in Visas and migration to other countries
A question for you please. If somebody wants to go to Spain for a holiday from the UK but they want to drive there via France etc, in which country do they apply for a Schengen visa? Just interested to know. Thanks. -
going to england and then a cruise
rasg replied to beaufoy's topic in Visas and migration to other countries
Yes. It happened to a friend of ours. She paid an agent who lied and she got a ten year ban. It made life extremely difficult as her very young baby was here in the UK with her husband when she was banned. -

And my suggestion is still to use and OISC accredited agent or do it yourself. -

Not necessarily. Unless you use an OISC accredited agent you are almost asking for trouble. All an agent does is gather the information from the person applying and present it coherently and it's not difficult to do yourself. It will definitely cost more. I put three visit visa applications together along with a fiancée (Settlement) visa, two FLRs, one ILR, Citizenship application and a slightly complex passport application without any issues problems for my wife. It is time consuming though as so much of the information my wife needed had to come from Thailand. A visit visa for the UK is far more complex than a Schengen visa. For a cruise ship, a Schengen visa should be a doddle though as it's a definite booking and the times spent in the different countries is a definite timetable. -

rasg replied to beaufoy's topic in Visas and migration to other countries
I wouldn't have contemplated a cruise with my Thai wife before she finally got her British passport late last year. Which countries will you be visiting on the cruise? If they are all on this list a Schengen visa should be all your wife needs. Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czechia, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Liechtenstein, Luxemburg, Malta, Norway, The Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. Our only trip outside the UK with Schengen was to Iceland and we were very lucky as they did it while we waited back in 2017 but it is a bit of a faff. -
I would be interested in the reason for refusal too knowing how thin the reasons my wife gave in 2015 to get three successful visit visas in succession before we decided to get married and went for a settlement (marriage) visa. I would be also be really interested in seeing the actual application and covering letter.

Not me. I already have one. She is Thai, 21 years younger than me and the last thing in the world I would do is share her with any one. I've just realised the total irony of these postings and the fact we are in the community pub forum. 🤣🤣🤣 -

Is that the best you can do? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 NO camera around my neck. As professional photographer from the age of 15 my phone does all I ever need it to do. Why would I ever need a map?! -

We opened a couple of businesses to keep us amused during Covid and they allow us to holiday any time we want to. Keeping fit with swimming , cycling and walking and we have a large family in the UK too. We each have a few hobbies and we enjoy being busy. If I am bored I will create something on the laser cutter/engraver. At the moment sorting through 1500 photos we took in the Fjords of Norway on a cruise last week and wondering where to go next. -

But that is the routine that THEY choose. Everybody has their own routine and some are happy with it and some are not. We just came back from a cruise around the Fjords and if they weren't on shore excursion, half, or more, of the older passengers were in the bars drinking by 11.00 am and probably did the same until midnight. One of my old friends married then retired early and moved to Spain when he was 55. That's all they do sitting in bars all day and night. Different strokes for different folks. I gave up most of that life when I met my wife as she doesn't drink at all and doesn't like the pub culture. We have far more interesting things to do than sitting around drinking and talking all day or evening. Good luck with your floor mopping.
