  1. One man does not a grooming gang make, Glitter has been tried, convicted and vilified and quite rightly so. He was unfortunate in that he did not have a battalion of human rights lawyers arguing his case for him. and he was also unfortunate in not being allowed to continue for fear of upsetting certain racial and cultural sensitivities, On a more positive side it was partly due to effective immigration procedures that his location was known, and effective immigration prevents many others from copying him The UK does not enjoy such effective immigration controls
  2. And the worrying thing is that the economic migrants are not the worst of them, There seems to be very little concern regarding other motives they may have. Who knows how many jihadists we have welcomed and are currently allowing to live in relative luxury, whilst they wait for "the text message" Far from ideal to put it mildly Those enabling this should be tried for treason
  3. I freely admit I am not a legal expert, but common sense tells me that a fraudulent asylum application would also be illegal . Which begs the question why do so many of these relatively young single men ( as that description fits 99.9% of those arriving on small boats) destroy their passports on the way over. Occasionally there may be a child on board but the sole reason for that, is so they can be thrown overboard, to ensure the lifeboats will pick them all up and taxi them to the shores of the promised land.
  4. Asian grooming gangs have been a huge problem in parts of the UK here's one link to assist you in removing your head from the sand, you can find the rest yourself, Anyway lets hear what julie thinks about it all, or is she as blind and blinkered by wokeness as you?
  5. Nothing wrong with Buriram, infinitely preferable to Phuket.
  6. What, and miss all the fun ? I have not told people to stop posting stuff that I don't like. I don't have an ignore list , Anyway none of these financial requirements would be game changing for a real "doctor"
  7. If you don't know why they are looking, you could always ask them. "WTF are you looking at" should illicit a response from a westerner or "Mong Haa Arai" would almost definitely provoke some sort of response from a Thai...but both may lead to a situation somewhat less than ideal for a 75 year old Or simply carry a few photos of yourself and offer a signed one to all the people who stare at you The best advice,for you personally, however, is stay in your house and only go out when absolutely necessary, based on the responses you normally receive to your posts, That or consider hiring some sort of personal security
  8. In the UK the financial evidence requirements are not needed anymore, this happened at the same time that the ME non O were withdrawn . at least that was the situation last month I can only assume, from the OP that the US has followed suit For those struggling to "merge" several pages of documents into one file simply open all the documents in Adobe and print ( using the microsoft "print to pdf"" option) easy and free
  9. to intimidate those who are not influential of course ! c'mon it's not rocket science
  10. "people who can't speak english" You do realise where you are don't you ? Unbelievable comment. Have you even considered learning some Thai "annoying old people that are treated like gods but have never done a days work in their life" What an unpleasant and ignorant remark, you need to learn some respect, How on earth could you even begin to know their work history with your obvious lack of language skills ? You should certainly be looking at the floor , In shame ! I hope your long suffering partner has a brother, because it looks to me like you need to be taught some manners, or maybe they should just give you a lift to the airport You were not designated as a babysitter for the kids, its just that all the adults want nothing to do with you, why would they? Honestly, some people!
  11. Well that's what they told us, believe it if you want. But its stretching the imagination to suggest that all unvaccinated people displayed no symptoms,
  12. I think its because its one of those words that Thais can understand even when mispronounced by a westerner. I once saw a guy get quite upset when his Khao pat gai arrived as khao pat khai
  13. Aw c'mon Britman what about Christmas pudding ? Reminds me I have to sort out my Turkey soon, I got a special stuffing planned for it too, involving a large chunk of brickweed
  14. Don't really have a problem with spicy , its the sugar I cant be doing with, When I ask for no sugar some of them look at me like I'm crazy, I have started telling them I am diabetic and that has proved rather successful. I couldn't give a damn what other people eat, food is of course a very subjective matter, I deliberately avoid tourist places, that helps There are many Thai dishes that are not spicy at all, for those who do not like it hot.
  15. In theory its a good Idea but in practice its a waste of time, as its a very subjective matter. I mean how would one reply "not too spicy" "medium" "normal" each means different things to different people, There is no standard, Until one can refer to something like the "Scoville scale" for reference any descriptions are pretty much meaningless,
  16. That's the spirit, I've had it at least twice, possibly more, I don't bother testing these days, One just has to knuckle down and soldier on, Loss of appetite and a consequential weight loss is a positive side effect, even if only temporary. I soon put the pounds back on, its pity I can't get the long covid version, if there ever was such a thing. Strangely , well not really, but I believe "long covid" is only found in countries with a welfare benefits system in place
  17. Why? it is absolutely nothing like the plague and it never was.
  18. Indeed it disappeared faster than I could ever have imagined. For years and years it has been one sort of bad news after the other, when was the last time we ever had good news? Somebody should consider looking into Mass depression psychosis as I don't think the human brain is wired up to continually receive only bad news day in day out ad infinitum
  19. I endured the covid era from within in the UK. I was luckily able to work all the way through it and didn't visit this website much. I have just scanned through the thread about the guy who wouldn't wear his mask, AS I expected the few members on here that I respect come out of it looking just fine. However many of the usual suspects do not. if they were to revisit their posts they would surely suffer from buttock clenching embarrassment.
  20. I questioned the narrative on here a few times and was rewarded with a suspension, I doubt I was the only one. But the thing that really got on my nerves was the tall doom monger from bangkok who insisted on reposting every graph and statistic ever released, he is still at it too. Why for gods sake? No different to those walking round with "the end is nigh" placards on their backs Calling somebody a conspiracy theorist or denier is just a way for those unwilling or unable to discuss things to halt any further dialogue, I rarely believe what governments tell us, it may be because we've been lied to so many times in the past, but I generally assume the opposite of what they are saying to be the truth, however as you say billions of people obediently fell into line without question, and aggressively berated those that didn't. I find that more than mildly concerning They have, in the UK. started some sort of sham inquiry in to the governments covid response, I'm sure the results of which were decided and probably written long before it actually began. Several prominent people are already denying they called for lockdowns and are being shown to be barefaced liars. Sadly Its a foregone conclusion that we will never know the full truth.
  21. Hysterical is a good way of describing the behaviour of many, but in fairness, it wasn't just their imagination that was to blame, in my opinion the mainstream media have an awful lot to answer for, ok they were subject to "emergency government regs" which basically forced them to stick to the official narrative, but they milked it for all it was worth, and still do. Fake news was ok as long as it followed the guidelines. Do you remember the stupid nurse who claimed there were hospital wards in the Uk overflowing with dying babies? total b/s but it went around the world, When she was called out over it she said she was "just trying to raise awareness" The government at the time was running around like a headless chicken, but I suppose they were only trying to do their best , at least in the early days, but later on i'm pretty sure they were using the opportunity to see just how far people could be pushed and manipulated. Nasty people like Tony Blair and those at the WHO are already talking about the next pandemic, which is a bit strange for what is considered to be a 1 in 200 year event. Apparently there were plans in place to force pet owners to euthanise their cats and dogs, thankfully they were never put into action, but if they can force people to do that then they could pretty much force them to do anything. A lot of what they implemented was nothing short of laughable we have heard a few examples here already and no doubt we will here more as those with better memories than me make further comments
  22. hahahaha how on earth did I miss that one, I just nearly choked on my coffee, that is absolutely priceless, best laugh I have had all week And when I thought I couldn't laugh anymore there was this.... "the department rep for sanitation and sex" Comedy gold worthy of an award
