  1. I am sure Rwanda can say no if they feel their unable to support a high number I see Denmark entered into a similar agreement with Rwanda as they have an opt out clause with the EU on the EU asylum policy, And now a number of EU member states are pushing the EU to adopt a similar approach Now EU member states want their own Rwanda-style migrant deportation programme: Denmark, Greece and Austria use Brussels conference to urge bloc to follow UK lead to stem flow of Mediterranean boats https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12250569/EU-member-states-want-Rwanda-style-migrant-deportation-programme.html Eight member states want a similar ‘innovative’ approach to controlling immigration https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/eu-faces-call-to-strike-rwanda-style-deals-2g6wjjbg6
  2. PromptPay system has a problem https://thailand.postsen.com/news/157626/Bankers’-Association-clarified-that-Mobile-Bank-is-down-Why-PromptPay-has-a-problem-last-edited.html
  3. More than 24,000 asylum seekers from about one-third of the world’s countries could face removal to Rwanda by the UK Home Office in the future, A notice of intent letter is issued after the Home Office has declared an asylum claim inadmissible. This means the case cannot be determined in the UK because the asylum seeker previously passed through a safe country before reaching Britain. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jun/30/over-24000-uk-asylum-seekers-could-be-sent-to-rwanda-despite-court-ruling A number of countries on the list are the same countries that I see forum members discussing travel plans to visit those countries
  4. It was lawful until the recent court hearing last Thursday who knows what the outcome will be when the case goes to the Supreme Court "Enver Solomon, the chief executive of the Refugee Council, said: “We are relieved that the court of appeal has ruled that Rwanda is not a safe country for people who claim asylum. However, we’re disappointed that they have not concluded that the overall policy is unlawful.” The judges unanimously rejected other grounds of appeal in the case. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jun/29/plan-to-send-asylum-seekers-to-rwanda-is-unlawful-uk-appeal-court-rules
  5. 150,000 baht discount ! TESLA Model 3 : 1,659,000 – 2,159,000 baht (imported CBU) | Free first class insurance https://autolifethailand.tv/discount-tesla-model3-thailand-round2/
  6. My Post was in reply to your statement it is the "Tories who have lost control of the UK’s borders" which is factually incorrect as both the conservatives and the Labour party have failed asylum seeker claims hence John Reid stating in 2006 that there was a backlog of 450,000 asylum seeker claims
  7. And who was responsible for asylum claims from 1997-2010 maybe you didn't understand when John Reid stated there was 450,000 backlog of asylum claims in 2006 John Reid reported in 2006 that there was a backlog of 450,000 cases The government was last night forced to revise upwards claims that there were fewer than 250,000 failed asylum seekers in Britain after officials unearthed evidence that the figure was closer to 450,000. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2006/jul/19/asylum.immigrationasylumandrefugees Some cases were on file for up to 9 years
  8. From what I know and recall John Reid was the Home Secretary from 2006-2007 and the Government in power was The Labour Party with Prime minister Tony Blair
  9. 160,000 asylum seekers granted amnesty by the backdoor, say MPs Extract Report says another 74,500 cases 'cannot be traced' while the immigration minister hails elimination of backlog from system The report says that work has at last been concluded on 403,000 of the 450,000-strong backlog of cases. https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2011/jun/02/160000-asylum-seekers-granted-amnesty John Reid reported in 2006 that there was a backlog of 450,000 cases The government was last night forced to revise upwards claims that there were fewer than 250,000 failed asylum seekers in Britain after officials unearthed evidence that the figure was closer to 450,000. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2006/jul/19/asylum.immigrationasylumandrefugees Some cases were on file for up to 9 years
  10. Latest Figures from OECD and IMF OECD and IMF forecasts prices. The OECD forecasts UK GDP to rise by 0.3% in 2023 and by 1.0% in 2024. The IMF has since published new upgraded forecasts for the UK, with GDP growth of 0.4% in 2023. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn02784/
  11. The op post is factual incorrect as the Court overturned a previous High Court ruling made in December 2022 At no point has this case ever reached the Supreme Court it is not possible for a High Court to overturn any Supreme Court ruling
  12. I think you have read the report incorrectly Current figures are approx £6 million per day The assessment is believed to have found that accommodation costs could reach more than £30 million per day by the end of 2026, without government intervention. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2023/06/24/migrant-hotel-costs-11bn-migrant-bill-fails/#:~:text=The official impact assessment of,6 million per day
  13. It Depends if the dealer has purchased the car or if the dealer is just displaying the car on their forecourt for the current owner (owner pays fee to dealer for this service) If the Dealer has purchased the car then 7% is payable sometimes the dealer includes the vat within the ticket price sometimes its extra If the dealer hasn't purchased the car then they put you in touch with the seller At the moment there are 1.666 cars on one2car that vat is not required
  14. And a lot of airlines do weigh and check size of luggage for both cabin and checked luggage if cabin bag is overweight or 2 large you are advised that it will be placed in luggage hold once you have removed all the items that can't be placed in the luggage hold and you have pay the extra fees for an extra item in the luggage hold For cabin bag I use a shoulder camera bag weighs 1.3 kg camera shoulder bag holds approx 12kg hold luggage american tourister medium weighs approx 3.4 kg and holds approx 60 litres of luggage
  15. A tourist is a person who travels to a place for pleasure. When a Thai or a Foreigner for example travels from Bangkok to Phuket or another place for a holiday they are Tourists
  16. You must be aware that the Duke of Cornwall is Prince William and the Duchy of Cornwall is managed by Prince William so your statement income from land that the king rents out. is incorrect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchy_of_Cornwall
  17. I think you will find what a Uk government wants and what it likely to get are not likely to be the same if they go for Membership 2.0: of the EU all the posts I have seen so far just discuss trade and nothing else for France to give its approval to any new application from the UK for EU membership France will want to see a greater commitment to full EU integration into the EU project I think Germany holds a similar viewpoint as France on full EU integration into the EU project. Would Spain veto a new membership application - depends which party is in government at the time of approvals and will they see it has a final opportunity to reclaim Gibraltar I know some Europeans that hold a view that if the Uk had adopted the euro then Brexit would never have happened so I expect the EU will want the UK to adopt the euro as part of any commitment to full EU integration This article was written in January 2020 Membership 2.0: what the UK rejoining the EU would involve https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/brexit/2020/01/23/membership-2-0-what-the-uk-rejoining-the-eu-would-involve/ This one is more recent 19 February 2023 Can the UK rejoin the EU? The EU has changed since Brexit. For those in the UK who wanted to rejoin, this poses big problems https://www.eurointelligence.com/column/can-the-uk-rejoin-the-eu LONDON — After two years frozen out of European science projects, Britain wants back in — at a bargain price. Brussels is unimpressed. https://www.politico.eu/article/uk-weighs-value-for-money-of-returning-to-eu-science-after-brexit-hiatus/
  18. Sweden has avoided adopting the euro by not joining the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM II). Sweden fulfills all of the criteria for adopting the euro but has argued that membership of the ERM II system is optional and has refused to join. As such, they have avoided joining the euro in spite of what was originally expected. https://www.bound.co/blog/why-don-t-sweden-use-the-euro there is a huge debate going on in Sweden at the moment majority of links are in Swedish due to the current weak value of the Swedish krona against the euro and dollar https://english.news.cn/20230531/7a8426b7c25945c3939e4c9c6ce015fe/c.html Swedish krona weakest against euro since 2009 https://english.news.cn/20230531/7a8426b7c25945c3939e4c9c6ce015fe/c.html New poll: Swedish business leaders in favour of joining the Euro https://www.thelocal.se/20230302/new-poll-swedish-business-leaders-in-favour-of-joining-the-euro As the Uk was original in the ERM until it withdraw in 1992 not sure if they could use the same excuse that Sweden is using

  20. These EV buyers were caught out earlier this year they purchased their cars towards the end of 2022 as government subsidy were finishing incentives Then In January Tesla announced price cuts which meant Tesla’s EV prices in China are now between 13% and 24% below their September levels. https://nypost.com/2023/01/09/tesla-owners-in-china-protest-against-surprise-price-cuts/ Tesla’s EV prices in China are now between 13% and 24% below their September levels.
  21. Ann Widdecombe was a MP from 11 June 1987 – 12 April 2010 and Nigel Farage has never been a MP and neither of them have been in a position of selecting who did the actual negotiating I am not aware of anyone that is stopping you from voicing your opinion
  22. I think you will find that neither Nigel Farage or Ann Widdecombe have ever been in a position where they played a major role in the implementation of Brexit so you can't really call them incompetent
  23. Interesting Battery options and pricing from Chinese brand Nio Nio is offering its Chinese customers to either purchase a car with Battery or purchase a car without a battery and providing a Battery rental service. Battery can be charged in the normal method or at a Battery swap out station where you can get a replacement fully charged battery in 5 minutes with the battery as a service option you never own the battery so no worries about battery degradation if you have the 75-kwh battery and you need more powerful battery for long road trip you can rent 100-kwh battery for one month and then swap back to 75-kwh battery https://www.drive.com.au/news/new-nio-battery-swap-stations-europe/ NIO ET5 Touring prices in China Starting price with battery 75-kWh ¥298,000 RMB 100-kWh ¥356,000 RMB Starting Price without Battery 75-kWh ¥228,000 RMB 100-kWh ¥228,000 RMB Battery monthly rental price 75-kWh ¥980 RMB 100-kWh ¥1,680 RMB paying battery monthly rental for 71.5 months for 75-kwh will be the same as buying car with battery paying battery monthly rental for 76 months for 100-kwh will be the same as buying car with battery https://cnevpost.com/2023/06/15/nio-launches-et5-touring/ NIO Launches Battery as a Service https://www.nio.com/news/nio-launches-battery-service
  24. Since March 2020 Leaf was selling for 1,490,000 I think you will have to go back November 2018 for the 1,990,000 baht so I wouldn't call that recent https://www.headlightmag.com/special-price-nissan-leaf-ev-100/ https://www.headlightmag.com/official-price-nissan-leaf-ev-100-thailand/ The final price of 959,000 was when Nissan Thailand decided to stop selling the Nissan leaf in Thailand Final Call ! Nissan LEAF 100% electric car: 959,000 baht (imported CBU) | 311 km. distance (NEDC) https://autolifethailand.tv/final-call-nissan-leaf-ev-bev-959000/ So the final price was nothing to do with what you posted it was simply they were withdrawing car from Thailand market In Australia a new Nissan leaf+ is selling for $64,051 as shown here https://www.nissan.com.au/vehicles/browse-range/leaf/specs-and-pricing.html#grade-29673-1 and the leaf+ was never available in Thailand Comparing Nissan leaf and Nissan leaf+ is like comparing MG ZS generation 1 (2019) and current MG ZS (2023) completely different cars in my view
  25. Would Europe really want the awkward squad back? https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/would-europe-really-want-the-awkward-squad-back/ There is no chance of a quick return to the EU. Neither the UK or EU want it. But, what about the next generation of voters and politicians? If things can change so quickly in the past two years, what about the next 20 years? Could the UK rejoin? Something that seemed far-fetched a few years ago, now seems quite different. https://www.economicshelp.org/blog/184934/economics/reasons-why-the-uk-could-rejoin-the-eu/#:~:text=Over time%2C Brexit will have,being closer but still outside. EU candidate countries https://european-union.europa.eu/principles-countries-history/joining-eu_en I think the jury is still out on Turkiye joining the EU the EU has given Turkiye billions of Euros as part of the accession process and seen very little for those billions of Euros spent I suspect the EU will want to fast track Ukraine once everything is settled in that region As the accession process can take years more than 24 years in Turkiye case the possibility of the UK rejoining the EU wouldn't be quick and wouldn't be a priority over the existing 8 Candidate countries
