More Red Meat to keep the board busy overnight:

New trade barriers service launched to help British businesses export internationally

Key Paragraph:

Quote

“I am committed to doubling down on tackling trade barriers, so that we can add to the 175 barriers across 61 countries we have already removed and make it easier for our great British businesses to trade globally.”

Jim Davidson fans might be interested to note that he remains actively supporting the ex service community and that he has his own subscription channel(s). He also posts daily topical rants on youtube and will release a never-before-aired/completely unedited show by the late Freddie Starr on his subscription channel on Christmas Eve.

How many days in advance of expiry can you apply in Samui for an extension of stay based on non-OA (retirement) visa?

Up to 45 days in advance has worked there in the past but they can be a bit uppity (& there's nothing stopping them) if they're swamped (ie Songkran etc in normal years).

The EU was in a state of shock when the referendum passed...if May had given the required notice immediately (I believe 2 years was required) she could have negotiated a good deal. Dragging it out for years only gave Brussels time to prepare for the exit and so offer less generous terms (and of course now there is Covid).

Cameron should have fired the starting gun the first Monday after the referendum.

Suppose they’ll have to be something, as Brexit will be well and truly done. Remaining will be not only a thing of the past, but an impossibility.

We know they won’t stop moaning but their monika reflecting that is not allowed on TVF. 

Rejoining is so unsupported by even the most stupid of them that its a non starter really. 

Any of them able to suggest what they will they be referring to themselves as from 2021? What does the Grauniad think it will be?

...the irony being that we will then be expected to toe-the-line re 'losers (????) consent' ????

Fishing with submarines ? ????

Further to @billd766's answer; This caught my eye a few days ago and is rather more current than your link from 2016:

Anson, the Royal Navy's latest Astute Class attack submarine, has officially been named in a virtual ceremony at BAE Systems' Barrow-in-Furness shipyard today.

& here's a related reason why the ???????????????????????????? aren't going anywhere:

yep I saw that, so pre Brexit 10,000 permits for those evil foreigners to come and pick fruit and veg for the bone idle Brits too lazy to do it for themselves (as everyone told the government they would be) - next year 30,000 !!!!

 

haha Brexiteers - it’s like shooting fish in a barrel ! 

I told you (in your original guise) that picking fruit & veg was the norm during school holidays in my youth; as was clearing rabbit warrens with a ferret down the ol' Y fronts or a trip to the coast armed with mackerel feathers. If I were in UK today i'd be clearing invasive crayfish from the waterways as that to is a 'Brits-won't-do-it' affair in the eyes of remainers yet they're easy to catch, delicious to eat & it's FREE to do so.

Can I suggest you change the title to read '....from the Royal Thai Embassy in London'?

The headline must be completely off I guess, that is NOT showing any way near to

get an "Retirement extension". Seems to me that it is  "Marriage extension" it is about....
