Yes Australia is becoming woke ....

But ... It seems the  Aussies are now angry at immigration because of the housing crisis ....well too late !

The door has bolted !

Pauline Hanson said 20 years ago to STOP immigration,they all called her a racist !

I could see the future 25 years ago when they imported millions of migrants ,of course house prices would go up !

But no ...they even jailed Pauline Hanson!!!

Sent her to jail for speaking her mind 

Well now the fools suffer 

Australia is a Police state, we all saw that through Covid. I can only thank the lord I’m from the UK, well England, that had some freedom through out the test. 
 

That Pauline is a go getter by the looks of it , worth 20 M $Aus.  Aus is such a weird country compared to the UK with the same people and so many political tyrants. When I meets an Aussie I can’t help thinking that maybe they were backing that tyranny, i give them a wide birth. 
 

But back to the point. Immoz’  when they started washing up on the south coast of England ( and I don’t mean working in kitchens) in the rubber dinghy’s I immediately thought it was orchestrated. They’ve been sitting on the shores at Calais jungle camp for years attempting to cross via truck axle and now they just suddenly get the idea to go by boat and it hasn’t stopped since. Everyday since March 2020 just as Covid started.  4 years and thousands of swarthy illiterate drains on the UK taxpayer filling up hotels. In my opinion the EU just said to the UK deep state in a short phone call “ we’re full of the 6unts here in Europe, now it’s your turn “ 

I work in food factories as an engineer and I see every factory getting an extension because they can’t make the food fast enough. The majority of food factory workers are ‘ international ‘ and when I saw the boats I knew where they were eventually destined. I work in food factories so I know they pay UK minimum wage not under the table. Soon there will be an amnesty and all illegals will get right to work and settle and eventually get a a pension and be bringing the family over. The UK will be a blood bath !!

What I have seen I. YouTube of UK police is they are useless 

Can't fight there way out of a wet paper bag yet Western Australia just employed 500 of these useless morons because Aussies refuse to work in outback Australia 🦘 so they employed 500 ex British police who will probably only last a few months before being run out of these remote country towns and head back to the UK 

They are being employed to the Kimberly region of Western Australia, good luck with that ,better then than me 

Mind you ....they will have guns just advised not use them in that part of Australia 

Well it depends what Generation of UK police you’ve imported maybe they are 49 up and have the stomach for it.

Over the last 10 years the UK police has recruited so many women and wet men that could not save them selves let alone other when the 5hit goes down.

Seeing two 5ft women who look like dinner ladies driving round my area of the Black Country England makes my blood boil. All they are is clerks with body cams picking their battles so as not to get out of their depth. Every opportunity I get I take the 4iss out of these muppets for hanging around (patrolling around a high street or shopping park or Mall ) where they will likely have the backup of some,at least 50% of the public a lot would stand and watch as the police were smashed in. The Covid period taught us whose side the police were on and it was not the Publics. Arresting old grannies and those who had the balls to protest the erosion of our rights of freedom. Were we able to eat out to help out and go shopping but not gather to protest ? 
 

They’re are in it for the pension and retirement at 50 and any of my involvement with the pigs in previous years has shown me say nothing as they will twist it to make their life easier not see justice done.

Oh and Oz is off my list of places to visit. It appears to be a leftists totalitarian state and unfortunately I can only assume the majority of Ozzies concur as thy voted that lot in , Up the Aussie Cossack!!

I listened to a couple of scam calls just out of curiosity.

 

Yesterday it was an older Thai man explaining that I can earn money by just liking specific TikTok reels.  He said he worked for a company that promotes TikTok reels to improve their ranking.  Eventually he'd ask for my bank account number, but I didn't listen to his lies that long.

 

Last year I had a call saying he was from Flash delivery and my package sent to Chiang Mai had been found to contain drugs.  He said he understood it was probably not my package, but I still needed to speak to the police.  He said he'd connect me to Chiang Mai Police to get more details.  The 'policeman' told me how much trouble I was in and was obviously angling for a bribe which I could conveniently pay on line.

 

I can see how some people could fall for these scams as the callers in both cases sounded like older Thai men, so the Thai respect for older people may work for the scammers.

 

Both calls from Thai numbers.  I used to get 2 or 3 a day, but after blocking the numbers following each call it's down to about 1 a week.

Great insight

My step daughter was introduced to a TikTok shop that advertised items that seemed to be good value.

On making a purchase she was offered a fee if she could tell friends about their shop,she received some commissions,and told more friends about the commissions she received.

Now she was asked to send money as items were out of stock and she would get better commissions.

She sent 15000thb,she was then told stock was stuck at customs,need more money to get items cleared by customs.

She foolishly sent another 10000thb,end of scam.

My Missus who is a total idiot. When I started to talk about this subject with as we watched a Thai news article. Admitted she had fallen for this. I remember her talking about it a couple of years ago but because she crosses the line of truth and fiction so often I don’t believe anything she says and I tell her that to. 

I was explaining how a member  on the group i asked the question on about scams had said that they even go as far as calling you on a video call and impersonating the police. She nodded away like this happened to her. I don’t want to know her story in fear of how much of my money she lost. 😞 

Btw. I’m only with her because that the only way to be with my 6year old stepson that expats always tell me “ just walk away”

Darn! Too late for you to change persons to person's. Next time!

Also, there are several ways you could fix the following: "...because by leaving a spelling mistake ruins a..." 

Ah yes person’s is possessive so my credibility is indeed in tatters, oh well 😄

Here is a good take on it from a commenter on Reddit, where I posted the question originally but it was not published immediately so I came here to TV where I am loved and knew I would get many answers. Well one answer anyway which was great. 
 

Reddit commenter opinion. 

“I don't think they go this far with foreigners yet, but the Thai scams are actually surprisingly elaborate production when it comes to tricking Thai people.

I'm sure as a foreigner, you are aware of the old "Hey, you hang on to this for me." and it turns out it's something illegal and you ended up in Thai prison schtick. Well, scammers know people are deathly afraid of something like this, so this is their plan:

First, they know everything about you, including your Citizen ID. There's been news about banking official or insurance agents selling clients' data to these people but that's a whole other story.

They will know you order something from Lazada or Shopee. They will say your package is on hold at a center because the police found there's something illegal inside.

Their people will DRESS UP in police uniform, video call you, they know your Citizen ID, your address, and they will threaten you with jail, and demand that you send them money or, latest incarnation, install an app. That app is a backdoor to drain money from your mobile banking account

They target the elderlies, young teenager, and white-collar criminals who has a lot to lose. They are very smart and invested, because each scam they pull give them MILLIONS OF BAHT.

If you want American example, type William Brock, 81, Ohio into Google.

It's in Thai news everyday for a long while. There was also some slight fear mongering. Like the victims (who range from PhD doctors to high ranking politicians to celebrities) would not admit they transferred the money willingly, or download virus app, so they make up stories about how "I just opened an email and the money in banking app was wiped out...." Which is impossible.”

Great answer. The problem is Thai people will not answer the phone because they think answering the phone can let a hacker in. The government should make a campaign saying what to do and what not to do because it’s stupid just everybody thinking they can’t answer the phone to anybody because it may be the call centre, for 4ucks sake it could be me on the phone !!

but also, how are people losing money by people knowing their ID card number or address? I don’t understand this.

Stevey, is there a point to your rambling post?

🚨🚨Dad Alert 🚨 🚨 Dad Alert 🚨 Alert 🚨 

we got a Chiang Mai Dad here !! 

Just watching the TV with my girlfriend and she was talking about these CallCenter scams and how they've just been doing a new operation called "purge". She's saying that the reason why people don't pick up their phone to a new number they don't recognise it's because they believe that just by picking the number up they can have all their information stolen and have all the money taken out of their bank account. I can't believe this. I then enlightened her on the thing that happens in Falangland in that people get called up by Indian call centres and are pumped for their information by hoodwinking them into believing they are a real bank and that's how they take their money or that they access their computer remotely with the program. I then say but this isn't everybody. It's generally people who are naive or just plain stupid. Then she let me into a bit of a secret she had in that, she had answered and actually been scammed herself and lost money. From the looks of it this is in the last couple of years while l've been with her.

So my question to my beloved members so I can educate my girlfriend how are these scammers actually getting hold of their victims money? she talked about it's about ID card numbers addresses et cetera.

Hey Mr SHU

I noticed every single post of yours is putting down people in a "low class way "with abuse.

 

I'm not sure  of your age but I imagine you with a turned around baseball cap ,wearing red Nike shoes with no socks, blue Nike T shirt ,white Nike shorts and tattoos

 

The way you come across in your posts calling posters "mutts" "dogs"  F,-wits, etc...... would hazard me a guess your from the lower end of society and that's not being offensive,it just tells me your not a lawyer or doctor .....you just grew up in a .....how do we say it.... around more interesting people perhaps with descriptive vocabulary!

@theshu25 

Yeah I just looked him up. Every comment is pretty nasty. I don’t agree with your idea that he is clad like. Wannabe rapper. 
 

He comes across as a genuine 5hithouse though. Can’t be a nice person to interact with. Can you imagine being his family or partners with that lot going round his head. Although I totally defend his free speech. More worryingly, too me, is his insistence that DJT the Orange Conman should be locked up. We will see or not how the people of the US think about that after a living a nightmare over the last few years of the Puppets reign and who ever is controlling him. How could the orange conman getting into power be worse than what has gone on till now ? I’m ‘an English’ if Brandon is not shown the door  soon I will be sorely disappointed in the US people. 
 

Back to @theshu25 i would love to know what he’s got going on in his life. I’m building an outside kitchen.

So, are you going to submit an application to rejoin the FB Isaan farang fossil club under a new moniker and work earnestly on your need to foment insurrection?

 

I hope so.

AN again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolute UUankers !!!!! 

I went away from the page to acknowledge an iPhone clock Alarm and when I went back to this ANow tab the page re-loaded and the text box I had been writing one of my much loved replies had disappeared!!!! 

This happened to me once when I was writing my Epic Savannahket visa run report. It had loads of funny’s in it and it all disappeared with 30 mins writing completed. 

Anyway in answer to your question I will not be going to that FB Group again under a new name. 

Although ( and this is what I wrote but just vanished ) I may check out the comment’s section on their YouTube channel if they have one.  Although my issue with that is I have a problem where  I can’t comment on YouTube. About a year ago I realised my nightly amusement of clicking the Bell on YouTube and seeing that I had like to my previous nights comment were gone and now all I saw was a feed of suggestions of content from my subscriptions. 

As somebody who comments against the grain as I have for years since the new Post Covid no borders UniParty Era has arrived YouTube just turned my comments off. It’s really weird I’m the only one who can see my comments. I have a channel of my own and people will comment on my videos so I will reply but  like last night I looked at a video of mine which said it had two comments. The first comment was my friend and the 2nd comment was my reply some time back but when I looked at what my reply was it is not there anymore. It’s as if there are thousands of YouTube operatives going thru channels just deleting comments guided to the comments by particular red flagged words. It’s all very weird. More annoying is we are probably being censored by a third world countries workers. 

I can remember when YouTube was the free-ist  place on the net. You could pretty much say what you wanted. 

NB. If there is a font issue, I have just copied this text from the text box of my iPhone messages so it didn’t disappear like the last epic post did

just to be clear are you saying “ can’t see a problem “ to what they want, boring as hell content, or what a large contingent of new joiners want ‘ Cry Havoc and release the dogs of war ‘ and full scale disagreement, basically interesting.

Not the old German with a surfboard who I tried to chat with while waiting for the hotel minivan at Bali airport last month. Ended up we could almost converse in Bulgarian, but it was bloody torture.

 

There was also an enclave of crusty Gott im himmel sorts out in Nongplalai (north of Pattaya) who occupied a pub and if any non-Germans happened to drop by, they all went into silent scowl mode. They used to come to my wife's restaurant, point at the picture of what they wanted on the menu and rattle off the German words for it. No English, no Thai, only German.

 

Oh yes, they drank Archa.

I’m not trying not to be racist but I can’t think of a situation when anyone ( other than another old German) could realise anything good emanating from and encounter with a German 🇩🇪. We all know the age old  phrase “ Germans Gonna German “ ? 
 

Actually that reminds my I was in PhonPhiSai the other week with the lad and he sees a Falang. Excitedly he points him out we were walking past the restaurant he was sitting out front of. He was about 30 and sitting at a table with with 4 other Thai girls in there very early 20’s. I later found one girls was a his girlfriend. As we passed by he looked at me for a couple of seconds and then looked away. Not one one person gets away with that. “ Are you shy ? “ i asked him. “ Your European?” … ”Yes I’m German “ he said. Turned out he was a nice guy, they many times turn out to be alright these shy guys. I’ve pulled this 5hit countless times. A handful of times they are negative and I just take the piss out of them in front of their handler.

” There’s a lot of Germans here “ I said. “Yes maybe.. I’ve been here a few days and I’ve seen a few westerner but your the first person to actually speak to me”. 

Interestingly his girlfriend, who was not bad looking but definitely not a supermodel, was in Germany when he met her and could not speak when I asked her , didn’t believe her for a a second, she spoke German. He was up to met the family. If only I could have filled him in but sometimes there’s no opportunity to save someone.

Re: Ageist comments

Well I’m a little younger than the average Expat. So throwing a few insults out at the elderly usual works as an all round mechanism to get a parting shot in. Although I’m well aware many of my fans are from those ranks and sincerely don’t mean to offend those people. 

What are you talking about ? I’m not wearing a Hat !!
