  1. When has any politician ever put the welfare of the indigenous british people over and above their own political career?
  2. Well strictly speaking point 4 and points 5 and 6 are not really expected scenarios, I thing work in progress might be a better description
  3. No doubt the jobs were posted pre election but nothing will have changed since. The salaries for these non jobs are totally disproportionate, The people who are complicit in creating , advertising and filling these "vacancies" are employees of the NHS and are all too aware that that there is only so much money available yet they continue to squander the limited resources available on this rubbish rather than employing additional doctors and nurses, or paying the existing ones a decent wage . Its madness and the Tories should have stopped this nonsense dead in its tracks ,Why they didn't or couldn't I have no idea, but I will be very very surprised if this new or any future government will bring about any improvement. I'm no fan of Starmer, but there is nothing to be gained by wishing for him to fail, Its in all our interests that he succeeds,with all his intended plans/ policies whether we agree with them or not . and I genuinely hope that he does.as any failure will have negative consequences for us all The practice of hoping, and in many cases arranging, for failure just so one can start whinging "I told you so" cutting off one's nose to spite ones face as we say, as beloved by opponents of brexit helps nobody and should have no place in politics, and those indulging in it should be removed from their positions
  4. I expect a similar scenario (but with a few minor changes in detail) 1. Most claims will be approved and the claimants allowed to remain, They may find a job , They might earn enough to pay tax maybe not. 2 Very Very few will be rejected and those that are will then enroll in the never ending appeals process which will prevent their deportation 3 The above will have little to no impact on those arriving and any monies saved as a result will now go towards the cost of their legal aid 4 The "right wing" and just about everybody else will naturally continue to voice their concerns ( or bleat as you put it ) 5 The boats will continue to arrive exactly as before we cab also expect "relatives" of those from item 1 of this list to start arriving 6 And so it will continue until the islamisation is complete, (at that point all the above is superfluous) 7 No idea what happens next and I hope I'm not around to find out Do you think that's a realistic prognosis?
  5. well lets see how many of the 100,000 would be immigrants fare during their proposed , new, up and coming fast track assessment, before we decide whether anything actually changing, be it for better or worse. Personally I strongly doubt anything will change significantly just have to wait and see
  6. Well not Kier Starmer personally maybe but a Woke court of appeal populated by people who share his ideals
  7. well so far there have been at least 500 more arrived since Starmer took control.
  8. excellent example of how public money is squandered, pity it doesn't highlight the totally disproportionate salaries that these non-jobs are paying. There have been many reports in the UK that the NHS pay more for these positions than they do for surgeons and GP's 6 figure salaries are not uncommon. Its a national disgrace
  9. indeed, one or two very dopey, but yet very vocal suspects who cannot resist any cannabis related thread. After several years of their petty trolling we are all only too aware who they are and that that they don't wish to partake of this gift from above , But why they insist on trying convert the rest of us , none of whom are children, and none of whom have requested their advice should be a mystery to me. But its not really
  10. Of course somebody should pay, The authorities stood by and watched as a lot of people invested a lot of money, no doubt in many cases it was money they didn't have in what they thought was a legitimate enterprise. They were not "repeatedly warned of the risks" as some on here are claiming, I certainly didn't notice any public information videos on TV or anything in the news papers, The usual warnings about cannabis use appeared now and again but nothing about the risks of investing in licensed retail outlets Whatever Anutin allegedly did or did not" say" is of absolutely no relevance, except to a couple of whingers on this forum, who bizarrely appear to have become fixated, on this to the point of obsession on his utterings. As mentioned earlier the thread legislation is issued in writing in the royal gazette and not by word of mouth. Those that invested were, as far as they were concerned investing in a bona fide business / industry which they correctly believed had great potential, they were not wrong either I would imagine the amount of money turned over in a couple of years by the cannabis industry is probably thousands of times more than that generated in over 20 years by other government inspired projects like OTOP for example. Nobody was discouraged from jumping on board Those on here spewing out their sad "serves them all right" and other such scathing and unsympathetic comments really should try to get over their personal dislike of recreational cannabis use, especially as its only a result of the "reefer madness" rubbish they were brainwashed with years ago, maybe then they could think about attempting to develop a more live and let live attitude towards the choices other adults choose to make. Who knows, they may even stop trying impose their views on others , but somehow I doubt it If, as widely speculated , this change in policy is primarily as a result of Toxin's involvement then he should be the one paying the compensation, I would expect him to be only too grateful for the opportunity to return some of the money he stole from the country and people he claims to love, right back to some of those same people who may now be facing financial ruin because of him
  11. Well if you replace coca-cola with "kratom" it might make it easier for you to understand, not that it was particularly difficult
  12. I'm wondering how, despite the overtly childishly trolling nature of every single one of your posts on this thread, no other members have called you out, and none of the moderators have reigned you in .
  13. Indeed it will, and despite what the likes of the BBC would have people believe, pretty much the entire invasion force consists solely of young 20 something males, hundreds of thousands of them so far. Bad news for the UK women who will bear the brunt of this , one way or the other
  14. and possibly employ less qualified or experienced counter staff
  15. deliriously so by the look of things
  16. Exactly, go fund yourself, she's just another freeloader
  17. They were there but they didn't want to break cover
  18. spot on , I can't understand why you got 7 laughing emojis, some people have no idea
  19. What film was that in? I cant remember the name and its killing me
  20. That was a big ugly bad tempered dodgy farang vs a petite Thai female doctor with a hiso internet savvy father. This is (in my opinion) a Thai cop vs a Thai woman who was out drinking in a bar, there are subtle differences and he'll be paying nothing
  21. I saw his comment, and I thought of, tattooed thugs with crew cuts and a uniform fetish, goose stepping up and down walking street, brown nosing around the Thai cops (who hate them) and grassing up tourists for minor littering offences. Ex Traffic Wardens , Ex "special"constables, Ex magistrates, etc etc. Pathetic narcissists and control freaks who need to supplement their pensions. To suggest that one of them was capable of even attempting to impersonate a Thai cop is laughable
  22. Why are so many on here prepared to accept it was not a real cop, based purely on the suspicions of a bargirl, whose own account of what happened suggests that it could easily have been a genuine cop, they often go out drinking in large groups and if they have recently divvied up the spoils of corruption, How else would anybody realistically expect drunk Thai cops to behave around Thai whores?
  23. I would say a natural desire for some semblance of personal freedom, and an aversion to being subject to control by electronic devices, being used by authoritative governments would be a good reason why not . Can you not see what's happening, governments are broke , they need more money , they are setting us up as cash cows at every opportunity,
  24. ....but actions have consequences, this obsession with saving life is all well and good , but what to do with all these saved lives? It's one thing inventing a cure for malaria which kills millions every year Its a totally different matter to provide food and water for those millions of extra lives who did not require it before
  25. In the UK big trucks are limited to 60 mph try driving at 60 mph on a motorway (when its possible these days) and the majority of those trucks will be flying past you. That's the reason the police sneakily drive around at 60mph , its easy for them to see the trucks which are either gaining on them or pulling away
