It can't be honoured. The promises of the Brexit campaign of an orderly, agreed exit that was beneficial to the UK has proved impossible to deliver. The various fractions in parliament and the EU are at a complete impasse. Let the people sort it out for them, as it was the people who got us into this mess in the first place.

 

Have a referendum to tell the government how to sort this mess out.

This could be academic by Friday.

Shootings in Thailand more than in America?  Where did you get your figures.  Suggest you do research before making ignorant statements.  

 

Thailand's crime level is 36.46.....America 55.84.....which is 53 percent higher than Thailand!

 

America has...

4 X more rapes than Thailand....

21 X more Total crimes and 5 X more crimes per 1000.

4 X more violent crimes and murder rate than Thailand,

 

Check out this link if you want.  https://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/compare/Thailand/United-States/Crime

 

 

 

 

 

 

But, sure you think is Thailand that is so bad and getting worse.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

But America has almost five times the population of Thailand

excellent book that deals with the Latin American psyche told through a family tale, my mother in law who is central American introduced me to it, to me reminds me of "a house for Mr Biswas"

I just finished reading it last week. Very entertaining.

Nothing unless your a Honda worker or one of the company's that supply it or an ex employee with vested interest in the manufacturing town ????

Honda were relocating to Japan anyway and have clearly stated that their decision was not based on the outcome of Brexit.

The falling sales of diesel engined cars that the plant at Swindon produced along with other European manufacturers was the key issue.

I feel sorry for the 70+ year olds who retired to Thailand with a 'frozen' pension 30 years ago.

When they arrived their pension would have been sufficient for their then lifestyle, however the vagaries of inflation and their currency weakness coupled with their frozen pensions has reduced but not stifled their spending capacity now.

Most of these retirees, with little by way of assets, cash or otherwise, just wish to see out their lives in peace and quiet.

The current amended immigration rules would mean that some of these pioneer retirees would not or not be able to qualify for for a retirement visa despite having Thai families and paid up properties.

If one's overheads i.e rent is covered, at the age of say 75 what more would you want?

Since she apparently also is Bangladeshi, an understandable and imo correct decision. Appeals probably won't amount to much.

And the fact that her husband, and father of her child, is a Dutch citizen.

Anyone want to start a smoker's only airline, terminal, and lounges?

Many many years ago British Airways had two nightly flights, leaving at approx the same time, from London Heathrow to Hong Kong, one was a smoking flight the other non smoking. Woe betide you if you got on the wrong one.

In the UK (Boots) I was quoted GBP180 (THB7,200) for varifocal and tinted lenses, including frames, with a second pair at half price.

On Monday in Hua Hin the quote was between THB25,000 and THB40,000 GBP 650 - GBP1,000 mind you the second pair was free.

Just another #SKY-FALLING-IN ALERT.

As Secretary of State for Business, he should be telling industry about all the benefits Brexit will bring and what new advantages he and the UK govt will be giving to industry in post-Brexit UK. That includes for businesses like Nissan too.

 

More MSM spin. Reuters have regurgitated and wrapped this up with total nonsense from The Times about traffic jams and emergency responders too. The Guardian's is the best - ...Britain would struggle to export waste as well as livestock, leading to growing mounds of rubbish and slurry... straight from the paper that's always full of sh1t.

The Guardian, nuff said.

Major the best Prime Minister? What a joke. The BBC poll ranked him 17 out of 19 C20 PMs. I thought that was generous!

 

A former Chancellor who didn't even pass Maths 'O' Level at the first attempt. He then snidely assisted Thatcher's demise, which resulted in his first stint as PM. Labour was led at the time by the similarly useless Kinnock, so not much of a challenge there. Major championed the ERM (failed).

 

If he's so keen on referenda he might have offered one in 1992, before he signed that damn Maastrict Treaty, one of the main reasons that we find ourselves entangled in this mess.

For the Brits who really want to stay in the EU I wish they will get what they want. I am sure the UK is a lot better off within the EU.

 

But for all the Brexiters and especially the hard Brexiters I hope they crash and burn. You really deserve what you will get. Just yesterday I read an articles that many Tories want Boris Johnson, Jacob Rees-Mogg or David Davis as their PM. How deluded must these voters be to even dream about that those incompetent morons will be able to make things better? They talk a lot about unicorns. And it seems lots of people still believe them. Unbelievable - except it really happens.

 

I am sure lots of people in the EU dream about how wonderful life could be without the UK.

 

Your hopes for a 'crash and burn' means both sides will crash and burn together.

A very bitter comment in respect of the majority who voted out.

Let me guess which way you voted? I guess you didn't!

Renewed my retirement visa last week at Pattaya Immigration in Jomtien, had to have my pic taken (took half an hour) letter from bank and all done easy-peasy.

Ditto at Hua Hin immigration. 35 minutes from arriving to leaving.

I can show you a number of places in Chiang Mai that are predominately tagged by Thais.  This is not a farang only issue although the media is framing this a exactly that.  But how often do we hear of a BIB manhunt for Thai graffiti artists in the media?  I can't think of any, but correct me if I'm off base.

If Thailand wished to be proactive, they would pass out a brochure listing all the stupid things that farangs and foreigners often do while visiting that will get them into trouble as well as spelling out the fines and jail times for each - and then have each passenger sign that they understand before they disembark their plane. 

Farangs and Foreigners?
