You need to watch his channel, he explains his reasoning. There is no automatic right to NHS treatment if you have been living outside the UK. So he'd have to fund it, pay for flight tickets, and accommodation as he does not have a place to stay. He also would have his treatment delayed, and he has to tackle this as soon as possible to avoid it spreading. I guess he also trusts the Thai hospital and wants to stay in his current home, minimise the upheaval. It's not too difficult to understand.

 

But of course if you have hard facts that state otherwise please reveal them. You don't? Quelle surprise!

 

Which is all BS of course. I was treated for cancer in the UK. His case would be classed as an emergency and his treatment would start immediately. I have lived here longer than Burt and return to the UK annually, for a checkup. I also receive regular repeat prescriptions for my medication. I also chose to have my treatment in one of the top Cancer centres, Christie's in Manchester. Free of charge. Never occurred to me to start a GoFundMe page. He would be staying in hospital, so no need for accommodation.

All of this BS coming from him makes me really suspicious of his motives.

If people who know Kev or like his channel wish to help him out a little, even as a gesture, it's really up to them.

They're known by most, including Burt, as mugs.

How much do rent-a-troll pay by the hour?

A bit unfair that. It was a fair point. I had a vasectomy donkeys years ago and had no intention of raising a family here. Circumstances overtook me and I am now raising a 6 year old son. Don't regret that and he's an absolute joy to me but I wouldn't advise anyone else to start a family at 60+.

It's also true That marcusaurelius does, allegedly, only breed geniuses.

Is that it? Seriously? He filmed two women arguing and likened the actions of another two to primates that preen in the wild, which is obviously a joke.

 

And that amounts to having no respect for women? 

 

If you dont like Kev personally, that’s fine, but don’t try to blacken his character over actions that are pretty harmless. If you have evidence of him beating up women, robbing them or sexually assaulting them come back to us.

Obviously there was much more to the defamation case than was revealed. Burt has never spoken about the detail.

If you think that likening Thai women to monkeys (on more than one occasion) is a joke, crack on. Not surprised that you're one of his fan boys.

Do I know him? I see him in local bars/restaurants pretty regularly and he lives on the same estate as me, but I have no desire to speak to him.

I don't think Kev does anyone any harm. As for the defamation claim (made by another poster) I know of one comment he made about the wife of a disgusting human being ... a man who pollutes You Tube with crap videos. Hardly a major crime on Kev's part. The idiot in question pretended to be "defamed" in order to get Kev into trouble with the authorities ... yet the same cretin does worse

The defamation case was not related to the vlogger you are referring to. It concerned 2 women who he filmed having an argument outside a bar in Pattaya. I believe that he paid them both compensation, after it went to court. He also stopped making videos about girly bars in Pattaya at the same time. Some have suggested that the 2 were related.

The worst video he made was when he filmed 2 girls outside a salon, preening each other's hair. He likened them to monkeys. I seem to remember that he also likened the vlogger in question's wife to a monkey too. He's a real piece of work who has no respect for women, particularly Thai women.

But strictly speaking, in purely legal terms, you are gaming the system. I wouldn’t tell a soul, best keep that to yourself.

If you are no longer resident in the UK, then you are not entitled to NHS healthcare. Now personally, as someone who has paid a load of tax in the UK, I don’t believe this is fair, however that is the law. You appear to still be registered with your GP, and use a UK address? So the state does not know you have residency in Thailand? Not my business, I don’t mind what you do. So you could return to the UK and as far as the NHS is concerned you are just like a normal resident citizen. But what you are doing is not strictly legal ... making you as much of a scammer as the ones you deride on here. If you told them where you stay you might get a shock. I’d advise against doing so.

It's not a scam, because, as you say I've paid my tax in the UK (and still do). Also paid far more than the maximum of NI contributions, which, allegedly entitles to free healthcare for life. For the same reason, I will be getting my annual rise to my state pension. It's the government that are scammers, not me, I'm just playing them at their own game.

"If you told them where you stay you might get a shock. I’d advise against doing so." 

Well that's the difference between me and some of the blithering idiots on this forum. Because of several pre existing conditions, it's impossible for me to get health insurance at any price. Therefore, in order for me to continue to live in Thailand, I have made some simple, cost free, arrangements, to enable me to return to the UK at any time and receive free treatment.

It's not scamming, it's called using your brain to get what you are entitled to.

The problem is that he has been outside of the UK and is no longer resident there. Kev would have to return and be settled for at least six months before that situation changed as far as the authorities are concerned. In six months his cancer could have spread. If he goes private in the UK he cannot transfer to the NHS later.

 

This point has been made several times, but it is not well understood.

It's not understood because it's not the case, a point which has been made several times.

Who cares a jot. This guy is a prat. Im a cockney and he is putting on accent.

He's from Peterborough. Same as the Brit from Chang Rai, Graham Briar, who also had a lifetime of scamming and set up a go fund me page when he had a heart condition.

I agree.  I was at some random bar in Pattaya recently with a large billboard inside with the you tube sign on it saying Kev in  in Thailand is here every ( Wednesday or Thursday night.... Can't remember ). These people really think they are some sort of celebrity when in reality they are a pensioner with a smart phone and a small brain who think they have some relevance.  They don't.

 

Unfortunately there a many of them.  It seems TVF has officially  partnered with these morons

Having bumped into the guy on several occasions, I can assure you that your assessment is spot on.

Why do Brits and others not "Get It". Entitlement to NHS services are based on residence not contributions. If you are out of the country for more than 2 years you lose any entitlement, unless you were overseas working for a British company. I have heard of a generous interpretation of that last point being made. I have heard of generous interpretations being made by other agencies, then a return being made to NHS. Mostly, though it's simple. You have been out of UK for 2 or more years. The NHS show you the door. You aren't and haven't been permanently resident. I fail to see what is so hard to understand, but think that most people just run their lives around the mythologies perpetrated say here. That is very dangerous when it come's to your health. Research it.

I have been out of the UK for much more than 2 years. I get my quarterly repeat prescription, from my GP, posted out to me. I return once per year for my annual check up.

What the NHS doesn't know doesn't hurt them. If I was in Burt's shoes, I'd be on the next plane back to the UK.

He says he can pay for it but still puts up a gofundme. 

 

Just curious why does he not go back for free treatment ?

He was asked that question but refrained from answering.

You got screwed over by one so now they are all the same. Typical attitude consistent on here by the bitter and twisted brigade. Nothing new. 

There are people on here who have been happily married to bar girls, massage girls etc for many years (not me before you come back with that one) so it is not only disrespectful, but wrong to suggest they all end in disaster. 

 

I’m sure  there are some more cliches you can add out of the book that you may have missed. 

 

How old old is that book btw that some people seem to worship? 

Early 2000s I think, maybe 2005. I have a similar back story to @Kenny202 but a completely different experience. Read the book and, as labelled on the bookshelves, a complete work of fiction. Far removed from reality.

The reality is as you posted, you should have written the book!
