1 hour ago, melvinmelvin said:If I were a Cons PM I would NOT utter thoughts like that,
this is the Cons party leader and UK PM saying that with a hung parliament as a result of tomorrow's
paper dropping it will lead to;
" more drift, more dither, more delay, more paralysis " for the UK
why is that? must be because the Cons party is not up to it and not able to push
the UK forward in a positive manner in cooperation with other players in the HoC.
(voters should think twice before they vote for people that openly admit to lack
of ability to collaborate in a complex society)
Cooperation with others in HoC? Uhh The "others" just want to stop UK leaving EU

The thai way. 10 on 1. Whenever do you see one with the courage to fight 1-1...? Never unless they have a knife or gun!

My background is 20+ years of medical/legal proofreading in the USSA with an MA in Education.
Where is the "USSA"? Careful with picking fault with others' punctuation, grammar or vocabulary.

How can Thailand draw more/better EFL teachers? Simple. Start by paying wages that are on par with Vietnam, Taiwan, etc., and cut the bureaucratic BS that makes it so difficult for teachers to obtain visas and work permits and actually live here legally.
Schools and language centres must put up a million THB in registered capital to obtain a single work permit for a foreign teacher, so it's no wonder that many schools are still trying to employ them illegally, or just giving up on it. And gone are the days when teachers could do border runs to stay here long term on the down low, so the schools that can't fund work permits have no options left.
Thailand's diminishing English proficiency is the direct result of a cycle of overzealous bureaucracy - with a dash of xenophobia - that has been implemented by the very same government authorities that now want to improve English skills in the kingdom. Without serious wage increases and changes to the immigration and labour laws, I say chok dee!
Thailand does nothing serious when it comes to Education, Add it to the list of all the other major issues it is incapable of dealing with in its society.

nope ! dont waste time and money on the jokers at the British Council

and every week we have one of this news economic stimulus packages proposals by Prayut's gang and yet the economy still sluggish and baht still appreciating, whatever they are trying (if they are trying?) it's not working and they are running out of options other than once and for all DEPRECIATE the damn baht and things will start to get back to normal and while they are at it, better change the military junta to give Thais some hope for a better future
all very well but "Change government" ? In our dreams

Only thing Thai Politicians who threw in their lot with the General can "boost" is their own positions. The hopelessness of a country that when another party comes along and challenges its "hypocrisy and failings" with new ideas and a new future .. is guess what .. Ban them . Needs a revolution, except Thais dont do them

I would NEVER leave a baby that needs constant attention with a Thai Nanny. I'm not even going to say why because western folk who've lived in Thailand a long time should know why.

Its been a second rate dump for years. Whole towns and cities such as Telford, Luton, Bradford are swamped by m****ms. The country is full of jobsworths, touts, bullies rules, regulations, laws and PC gone mad. Multiculturalism and Diversity are killing of Britain's distinctive culture. The cops inept and corrupt. The politicians dreadful. The schools and universities social engineering factories. The NHS is failing as is social care. Gang warfare, criminality, and extreme violence are rising. The continued war on drugs has led to a massive growth in Narco mafias and has led to mistrust of the legal system. The streets are not safe for kids around 4pm and at night older people dont go out anymore. Many cities have large areas that are no go zones and in such places, like Telford over 1400 children were groomed, raped and sold by local gangs for two decades a crime ignored by the police a very common phenomenon in many other cities. The awful nature of modern UK has not been prevented by EU membership. On the contrary EU membership has led to this sorry state of affairs. A second rate, third world Britain.
perfect summation
