Just like the Brits in Thailand, really making an effort to learn Thai and assimilate aren't they, when you get them away from enclaves of Pattaya British bars, sex visitors etc Or the Brits in Spain, reading their daily Mail and british breakfasts, not speaking a word of Spanish. Or the Brits now living in Dubai, not speaking a word of Arabic, but happy to live under Sharia Law. Bless

Shameful comment. Worst thing is, i don't even know if you are serious. Immigrants who come into the UK legally are not allowed any benefits, not allowed any free NHS (they have to pay a fee in advance before arriving in the UK) for 5 years. The governments own statistics (pretty much mach up the American population) that the most sucecsssful nationalities in education and post graduation in the UK are the Chinese community (including Hong Kong), followed by the Indian community. The vast majority on benefits in the UK are white working population, including single mothers, on the sick, not working. Then you have other benefits including pensions.

The visa has a high chance of being abused. I know many indians and Chinese who are getting this visa and just using fake documents that the embassy accept. THIS VISA IS WRECKLESS. Open source for criminals.

Very hard to argue or have an intellectual debate with someone who has such awful ignorant views. Are you aware of how many Indian soldiers died for the UK during World War 2? Let me guess your an immigrant yourself in Thailand too, rite? But that's okay. Anyways you should let some love in your life. Bad people be it they be white, black, muslim, christian are awful the world over. Don't go down the gauntlet of reading to much dark media. Wish you well.

Are you mad? New York is literally built on immigration. Black migration into America is a bizarre one you are now focussing in on .... are you blaming black people for being shipped over as slaves? Incidentally are you aware of how many Indian soldiers died for the UK during both world wars?

LEGAL MIGRATION INTO THE UK for last year (net) was 782,000 ILLEGAL MIGRATION INTO THE UK for last year was 52,000 The vast majority of migration into the UK was LEGAL migration.

That's the second time you've mentioned African immigrants. Firstly, the vast majority of immigation into the UK is not African immigrants, and even it is was ... what issue do you have? The vast majority of immigration into the UK this year has been LEGAL immigration.

What's the problem with non white immigration ? Incidentally ... The white population in London is 55% by the governments statisitcs. A further 15-20 percent are Europeans from Spain, France, european union countries (who are not classed as whites). If you go to cities further north, like Sunderland ... the white population is close to 98%. But what's the issue you have? For example, the Sikh population in the UK are brilliant people. They work hard, contribute, very low crime, provide free food at their temples. The polish population are another group that work so hard, brilliant people. What's the issue you have?

Or locals don't want to clean rooms in Las Vegas hotels. Or do laundry in big massive corporations. The wage growth in America, even for the working class, has gone upwards quite dramatically. But let's not confuse facts with prejudices. I noticed you used the term 'Africans' .... what about immigration from Australia, etc ... would you be okay with white working immigration ?

Go spend time in Seoul ... it's awash with immigrants from China, North Korea (yes North Koreans), and other surrounding states. The reason the UK has so many immigrants from the commonwealth, that many here despise as they are are not white, is you invaded those countries and looted them for many years, then you needed their man power to help you in two world wars (where many sacrificied themselves to protect your way of life), and then needed their labour to help rebuild the country. It's old fashioned prejudices here.

The Japanese economy has stagnated, from once being the second strongest economy in the world with huge living standards. It's now suffering terribly. Japan Gdp per peson is only $33,851 Uk Gdp per person is $54,279 Japan has self harmed it's economy. And life there is tough for most people, despite the rhetoric and romantic versions you see of society there. The blame on that is it does not have a working population anymore, yet costs have continued to spiral up. South Korea has many undocumented cheap labour from North Korea, China, and surrounding states. They have a falling birth rate, but continue to have a booming economy.

85% of rapists in the UK are white men aged under 30.

The report was refuted as being nonsense. But damage done for racists who picked it and now treating it like fact.

Meanwhile the red busses that blow out black diesel smoke are still driving around with impunity. Traffic around where i live is insane, and has seen no drop. If anything it feels worst. IMO the only ones benefiting from this are those who normally don't use the BTS / MRT are using it as opportunity to get out and about for free. Also the sheer volume of Chinese tourists here for New Years are have a field day getting around for free. It's a sheer waste of money, because fate had the wind blow the harsh pollution away. If pollution was an issue and health a priority to keep people away from the pollution, that has ironically driven people to travel around for free that normally would be staying home. The money should have been used to change all public vehicles electric, remove the red emitting diesel busses. The pollution is set to return in a few weeks anyways. So a temporary plaster measure was a sheer waste.

Nonsense. It's all performative theatrics. The sheer volume of mexican (and further afield south American countries) undocumented immigration into many US states is astronical. Most large business welcome these immigrants to carry out the work locals will not do. If you go to cities like Las Vegas the vast majority of the work carried out in the background (housekeeping, chefs, cleaners, etc) are all immigrants. You even have legit schemes like Mexicans being driven into US daily to do work, then driven back home at night - which is a legal scheme.

Good news. More working population. The dangers of a drop in population wrecks economies. Government however must provide the necessary provisions for transport, education and health to keep up. Only people with an issue will be racists.

I think we can all as a collective on this forum just say 'we are really shocked by this news'.

True. But as soon as one project is finished. You hear the earthquake coming from another direction of the room, and you realise the same construction workers are now in another room on the floor below you. Essentially you have the same team going into the condo still fitting out the rooms. So it's been an earthquake after earthquake, never ending.

I think my next port of call will be with my agent. We've used the same agent for many years and she has really let us down this time. It's an amazing condo however, but she should have known that the condo itself was itself an empty shell in many rooms.

In that regards yes construction is only going on between 9-5pm. However, it's like a massive earthquake every day. Not exagarating this.

And lose my deposit ? Will the owner return my desposit? We are talking nearly 160k for 2 months rent. Somehow i don't think they will. Still got 8 months to go on contract. I was hoping for some suggestions for an inbetween solution, or anyone who went through something like this and how it was resolved. This is essentially mass construction inside the shiny glossy condo.

So it's a case of just putting up with it ? At this moment in time, i am hearing drilling that is hitting my ear with such force that it's as if the guy is if the construction is happening rite next to me. I Simply cannot sleep, as i am work some bizarre hours at times. We simply cannot relax when my partner is back from work. Do i go to my agent? I honestly feel scammed as she told me the condo was all ready and perfect. The concierge team are all very appologetic, but nothing is done. We have essentially moved into an upscale, brand new condo by a prestigious builder, at an extorniate rate, but room were not ready for most of the condo, as a result you have mass construction going on. Tell you how bad it, i am sitting here at 10am actually thinking of booking a hotel to get the hell out of here.

Or they could reduce the number of visitors ?

If you come to the UK and you claim asylum, you are accomodated if they feel your case meets merit (ie not taking the pee). This also happens in many European countries, Canada too that sign up the human rights bull. This is not luxury accomodation despite what the media say. They are small little rooms, sometimes in crappy hotels. The UK has universal free healthcare (along with most of Europe), so asylum seekers will get health care. The only people ironically who don't get free healthcare are immigrants who come here legally - they have to pay a surcharge one of fee before they get a visa, to allow them to use the NHS. Also immigration, undocumented was on course to go higher than Obama before the pandemic hit. He literally did nothing to stop it. The wall was never built, other than tiny little areas. It's all performative. America needs and wants immigration.
