You've disproved the theory that mass immigration has a positive impact on the economy. The increased tax take and economic activity is clearly not outweighing the overall cost - otherwise the UK economy wouldn't be suffering so much. Controlled immigration with a gradual population increase is good. What we've seen over the past 30 years is not so good.

You can't ignore immigration as being part of the reason our services are struggling in the UK. Some migration is necessary, but we're averaging around 300,000 net migration per year, that's a 3 million increase in the population every 10 years. And that doesn't include those migrants who are coming in under the radar. That would put a strain on any infrastructure.

I'm not against managed immigration, but I think the flaw in your argument is that rapid population growth over the past few decades has driven the need for more staff and resources in the NHS. Swings and roundabouts, right?

I think he sounds British. He starts off very calm, then at around 58 seconds in it sounds like he's saying "if you want me to touch you, I'll touch you now" and then "I'll *** you up" or something along those lines. Not the best temperament to have when going out in a party town. Taking his top off at the end for that macho look says a lot too.

I agree, they may fight in packs to get an unfair advantage, but I think they do have a fair bit of tolerance. You go to the major towns and cities in England after pub/club kicking out time and mass brawls can start at the drop of a hat (or a kebab). Often resulting in serious injury or worse.

Table reservations and a dress code at the Green Mango ???? I guess it's only for this special event (I hope!)

I wonder if Singaporeans are coming to smoke weed. A lot of Singaporeans I know have visited Amsterdam when in Europe for that reason. Rebelling against the strict rules in SG?

The latter. Have you not heard of sun tan Laotions?

I've never considered using Eva, but I will now. How do they compare in terms of comforts to BA (all classes)? I assume I wouldn't get an English breakfast flying with Eva ???? I've used TG a few times. but only trans Asia. Always been happy enough with them.

Totally agree. I can never understand all the negativity towards BA. In over 20 years using them for flights to/from Asia I've probably had 1 bad experience.

Clearly this couple are paranoid about having single men around their kids. I'm just trying to imagine the conversation they had before choosing a holiday destination. "Where can we go where there won't be any single men? I know, Pattaya in Thailand!" ????‍♂️ A pair of self-important numpties.

I was in Canary Wharf in London the other day, walking through the big shopping mall. I saw a handful of people wearing masks, and most of the people masked up were Asian females. Maybe they just enjoy teasing us with their Asian eyes...

Don't know if similar things are happening in Oz, but in the UK airlines are reducing the number of flights, or like BA cancelling the LHR to BKK route all together. Apparently this is because nobody is flying LHR to BKK for business anymore, and BA made most of their profits from business users. The knock on effect is it's more difficult / expensive to get to Thailand than it used to be. From the UK I believe Thai are the only airline offering direct flights to Thailand now. I've looked at going via Singapore using SIA / BA, but again prices are through the roof. Shame, because all this will slow Thailand's much needed recovery. Personally I can't wait much longer, and I reckon I'll bite the bullet for August time.
