Go see the governments own statistics. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/elon-musk-npcc-keir-starmer-nigel-farage-pakistani-b2677586.html The vast majority of grooming gang offences are carried out by white men, the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) has said. New figures from the police database show that, where ethnicity data was available, 85% of “group-based” child abusers were white...

85% of rapes in the UK are carried out by white individuals under the age of 30. The term 'grooming' is now being hijaked by the far right. Disgusting crimes, but most are now using these historical cases from 15 years ago to pander racism. OR they are not aware of the issues.

Judging by social media, most people are not aware these are historical crimes - some 15 years ago. Furthermore, facts are most of this sort of crime is still committed by white individuals. There was also already an investigation, with the findings not acted upon by the previous government. Furthermore, the local councils can carry out their own investigation. They don't need government support for that. This was a ghastly set of crimes, and the perpetrators were locked up. Lessons must be learnt including for the community involved and law officials - but this is now becoming race baiting from outside influences. The UK media letting musk set the agenda is deplorable.

Can anyone clarify what exactly they are going to do ? I am utterly confused.

The sheer waste in the UK economy is astonishing. There is plenty of money there. For example i had recent experience with a planning application that had to go to a meeting and then a vote for all the committee. I was shocked to see how many councillors that were around (all on hefty salaries) for such a small town. Three local councillors, then you had the overall councill comittee - there were loads of them ! You then had various other in the system (planning application, enviromental health officers, etc). There was a mayor on a hefty salary too, and then a crime police commissioner, followed by an MP. Noticed at the time that works that were being done with public funds, were meant to be tendered to different organisations to get a fair quote, but were often given suspiciously to friends of councillors (or councillors had experienced their works) - it just stank. Corruption in plane site. Anything with government money in the Uk is abused - go see the waste in the NHS, Hs2 project is a fine example. They need to just rid the lot of em, strip down the government.

My sister grounded her kids for not doing their homework, kids went and complained at school and then had social services down. Parents have no hope in the UK to keep their kids focussed if they are not inclinded to do so.

So what's the solution to get back to 2% growth a year again ?

Are these not historical cases from 10-15 years ago ?

Phuket is absolute garbage these days. Way too many cheap rent tourists. How on earth can you have cheap Arabs .... but you find them in Phuket. Draft dodging Russians turning the place into a mini Moscow. Then there's the indians ... good grief. Traffic, pollution, beaches becoming dirty, the place is a mess.

Worst set of tourists you can inflict on any population. Bless you Thailand.

Why can't the UK get itself out of this mess? They have some really thick politicians unfortunately who aren't helping. Labour have been extremely disappointing. Even their NHS reforms haven't been set out yet - what on earth were they doing in opposition all those years? They should have been set to go on day one with that majority.

They have known their education visa was open to abuse. They have effectively emptied certains states in India (namely the Punjab), with young immgrants who go with no intention to study. Once they finish their studies they stay there with the visa options. If you are threatened with return you simply claim asylum.

Sad. Sometimes you want a hot cooked meal, or be sponteneous on holiday to have something cooked for you. Who makes themselves sandwiches on holiday to say a few dollars?

Firstly prices in Thai airports are a complete rip off. Needs addressing. Secondly, you may well signs of the price of a sandwich, you are then for some reason what you would like on the sandwich. So she may well have figured ill get extra cheese, extra chicken - without maybe realising that would be extra. Like i say, sometimes people do get confused with that, and with language in Thailand i am sure it wasn't made clear. Both are too blame here. The company for rip off fees, and price gouging on extra toppings without being clear. And the women who should have been more aware, and not exactly upfront on the extras she ordered.

What about levels of oxygen in your home? If you have everything sealed tite, of course air will get through - but i dread to think how much your place stinks. What about your toilet ?

Went to Vancouver a few months ago - could barely recognise it from the last time i was there 15 years ago. Complete takeover by the Indian community, and many rich Chinese (Hong Kongers) buying land in the city centre.

I'm just curious do you never let any 'fresh' air into your home then? Cooking smells, dust everything just lingering around ...

They literally have public busses running on the streets blowing out black smoke. Why not ban them for a start ? The vehicle emissions is disgusting in Bangkok. Make sure vehicles comply with regulations on emissions - and actively pursue those who break the rules.

The pollution and over tourism is certainly making me thinking of going back. This country essentially has open borders at the moment. Seeing crime on the rise too, with alot of anti social behaviour - mainly from tourists.

MASS CHEAP TOURISM gdp per person of China is still only $12,000 - which is very low. Stating the obvious here, but it's alot easier for Chinese to mingle in and work here without attracting suspicions like westerners. Whilst it has a high wealthy number too, most of those are going to Europe.

Insanity in charge

Quality tourists that Thailand want.

They promote these tours as ethical because you are not riding the elephant and see no chains - which makes said tourist feel better. It's still exploitation, as most are still not free to roam around. None of us really know how the elephants are kept when away from tourist eyes.

Nothing done. Yet the pen pushers have kicked off street food vendors from my area because it's not nice.

London homes .... hmmm, reminds me of that guy on tiktok who says the elite in thailand don't live and work in Thailand because of the pollution, poor education, etc
