  1. Why 7-2? Surely, there are 3 liberal Justices, plus Kavanagh, Barrett and the Chief Justice have often sided with them?
  2. Moo Deng's prediction probably impacted it too!
  3. Interesting days ahead. I wonder how Zelensky is feeling?
  4. Not surprised. Harris was an uninspiring candidate. I wonder if Don Jr will stand in 2028?
  5. Not uncommon in the UK these days. I have no time for Kemi, but if it means some racist bigoted Tories defect to Reform because of her, all will be good. Ironically, she's about as close to Reform as the Tories could get without actually merging!
  6. I have no issue with her 'Britishness', just with her rightwing political beliefs and the fact she has appointed an worse person as Foreign Secretary. Unsurprisingly, you can get good odds on James Cleverly being the Tory leader by the time of the next election.
  7. Really? What nationality were they?
  8. I'm very happy to have moved away from the UK and got away from bigots like him!
  9. At least she got up at the end. Hope she was OK.
  10. Probably won't convert many doubters, but she was great! Fingers crossed for a huge upset on Wednesday.
  11. The Tories just chose their new leader 🤣😆
  12. Since when have any politicians been honest? Labour are making unpopular decisions now (although I thought the Budget was fine, and Reeves is a future leader), knowing that they won't have to face the voters again for 5 years.
  13. If you believe that you'll believe anything! Farage is an egotist and and a hypocrite. I'm all for free speech but not when it is incendiary and designed to foment violence. He should join his pals Tommy Robinson and Andrew Tate...
  14. I haven't taught Thai kids for years, and have no knowledge or experience of the Thai educational system (except for my own son who goes to a Thai-bilingual school).
  15. They might have been dressed as schoolgirls, but it would take a big leap of imagination to think they were actually underage or even 18! 🤣
  16. In Pattaya it's not uncommon for bargirls to dress as schoolgirls! In fact, Classroom used to be a popular gogo (not sure if it's still there).
  17. The qualifications for TEFL teaching are exactly the same in the UK as in Thailand. TEFL jobs in the UK though are mainly seasonal and very badly paid. Starter TEFL jobs here in Thailand are equally badly paid, but having been doing it for 20 years, I now make around 1,000 baht an hour, plus have a lot examining work, all of which doesn't require a lot of effort, which is good as I'm 64.
  18. Been working as an English teacher since 2005. Couldn't get the same level of remuneration back home (UK), so here for good now. Plus I now have a family here (although not Thai).
  19. As I said, be patient. The investigation is ongoing and all will (or should) come out in court. Making political capital (or trying to) out of the tragedy is disrespectful to the victims and their families.
  20. About what? The rioters were far right. The motives for the attack have still not been officially confirmed as 'terrorism', although the attacker's Jihadist sympathies have. Be patient. All will be establish in time and in court.
  21. Where has the green button to get back to the top of the page gone?
  22. To add to @Tony M's advice, she will also need to pass the Life Skills English test at A1 or B1 level, before the visa is granted. She can take the test in Bangkok and also in Pattaya.
