  1. A 14-year-old with a gun. Only in the US. Sadly, not even shocking any more.
  2. I just completed this quiz. My Score 20/100 My Time 28 seconds  
  3. Hopefully the new government will offer safer routes for asylum seekers to legally claim asylum. It would have been a lot easier to do it we were still in the EU. Judge them by the results in about a year.
  4. Good grief, he's only been PM for a few months!
  5. She's a politician! Do you really expect her, or Trump, to tell the truth?
  6. Maybe 8 years ago they didn't need to explain the reasons for the refusal. They do now, so that the applicant can address them and re-apply.
  7. Perhaps you'd be happier living under the Taliban or ISIS?
  8. There doesn't seem to be much! Two drug dealers were executed in 2009, then no one for years! Then out of the blue someone was executed for aggravated murder in 2018, but to my knowledge there hasn't been anyone since then.
  9. Trump's attitude towards to military and veterans has always been shocking! Quite why anyone is surprised, I have no idea.
  10. Is that statistic for all types of UK visas or just Visitor Visas and is it globally or just Thailand? An 85% success rate is quite encouraging.
  11. No civilised country should have the death penalty.
  12. Yes, she's hardly inspiring! Still, better than Trump/Vance.
  13. Sorry to hear that. But "loading her bank accounts" was a big mistake. If you live together in Cambodia, what is your visa status? My Lao girlfriend had no money to her name, no job and just lived with me in Thailand, but was granted a visa as we demonstrated we lived together as a couple in Thailand, where I worked. Appealing is a wast of time. Address the issues made by the ECO and re-apply.
  14. This thread is about a UK visa, not US. There is no in-person interview for a UK visa.
  15. I'm still shocked that 51.89% of Brits voted to restrict their freedom of movement.
  16. I just completed this quiz. My Score 30/100 My Time 71 seconds  
  17. I just completed this quiz. My Score 40/100 My Time 38 seconds  
  18. They had their moment. This grab for cash is fairly pathetic.
  19. The Thai government certainly behaved shamelessly and cowardly during WW2.
  20. Perhaps you're confused about the word "union"!
  21. You're taking one measure. There have been and still are economic challenges, trade disruptions, and political divisions, particularly in regard to the UK as a whole (Scotland/Wales/NI) and the regulatory divergence from the EU has also led to complications, particularly in industries that rely on seamless EU-UK integration. A whole generation now has less freedom of movement which, in my opinion, is a crime against youth. However, it does seem that the government are making some, slow, progress in restoring some freedom of movement for the under-30s.
  22. I think most understand that now.
  23. He won the election and most people realise what a catastrophic error Brexit was. I can understand why he's moving slowly, but I can see us rejoining he Customs Union and Single Market by the end of the term. Hopefully it will be a key part of Labour's election manifesto.
