They tell him what's going on in the car's engine just before it throws a rod. Where did you get the information that cars have "90hp [sic] maximum" particularly tarted-up Cefiros? I'd be very surprised if that one didn't have 200bhp more than that.

Window films don't work like that, just because you can't see into the car doesn't mean that the occupants can't see out!

There isn't, there was going to be, a few years ago, nut the idea was scrapped.

Choice, that's why. Chronically referring to pickups as "agricultural utility vehicles" at every inappropriate opportunity is even odder behaviour.

"...a friend told me his friend and he were out driving..." B0llocks, you've just regurgitated the oldest car joke in history!

The chance of success is zero! That has been proven for decades.

No kidding?

Do you have any idea of the low level that the annual increase is? But, you're right, the amount that the Thai economy has missed out on must be "eye-watering"...eye-wateringly small.

No, you haven't got your point across but, heads up, it seems that your English may not be much better than your Thai - UK pensioners in the Philippines get the increases but you left it off your list. Why?

They all get 40 quid a week Thy do not. Please read my comments properly, I'm talking about illegal immigrants, not asylum-seekers, so can you back that up with something empirical, not hearsay from "your friend", an ex-illegal overstayer? It's ok, I know that you can't.

Will this do, seeing as it is feom the UK government website?: This from the Gov.uk site: Asylum support 1. Overview 2. What you'll get 3. Eligibility 4. How to claim 5. Further information What you'll get You can ask for somewhere to live, a cash allowance or both as an asylum seeker. Housing You’ll be given somewhere to live if you need it. This could be in a flat, house, hostel or bed and breakfast. You cannot choose where you live. It’s unlikely you’ll get to live in London or south-east England. Cash support You’ll get £40.85 for each person in your household. This will help you pay for things you need like food, clothing and toiletries. Your allowance will be loaded onto a debit card (ASPEN card) each week. You’ll be able to use the card to get cash from a cash machine. If you’ve been refused asylum You’ll be given: • somewhere to live • £40.85 per person on a payment card for food, clothing and toiletries You will not be given: • the payment card if you do not take the offer of somewhere to live • any money So, the latest government figures show that 37,000 illegals/asylum seekers is costing 4.7million pounds a day foraccommodation alone. That's 127.02 per person per day. Add in the 5.83 on their payment card, free meals (forthose in hotel accommodation) Wi-Fi, no electricity bills, water bills council tax. Here are the figures: 1. Food - Assuming you live by yourself, the average monthly grocery bill for one person in the UK is £137 (£32 per week). (Source: https://themindfulmoneyproject.com/average-food-budget-in-the-uk-how-do-you-compare/) 2. Electricity - Data published by Ofgem, the energy market regulator, shows that in September 2021 the average UK energy bill was £95 per month, or £1,138 a year. (Source: https://www.edfenergy.com/for-home/energywise/what-is-the-average-energy-bill-in-the-uk) 3. Internet/Wi-Fi - On average, you should expect to pay around $60 a month for high-speed internet. However, prices can range between $20 and $100 per month or more depending on where you live, which provider you choose, and which plan you go with. (Source: https://www.move.org/how-much-pay-for-internet/) 4. Water - the average UK household's bill for water and sewage at £385 per year, or about £32 per month. (Source: https://www.uswitch.com/water/price-of-water/) Total per week – Food £32.00 Electricity £23.75 Internet £15.00 Water £7.40 Rent £127.02 Total cost pp/wk £205.17 Additional payment (via prepaid card) £40.85 Each illegal asylum arrival in the UK therefore receives up to £246.02 per week from government funds, even after their asylum claim has been rejected. Conversely: The full new State Pension is £185.15 per week. The actual amount you get depends on your National Insurance record.(Source: https://www.gov.uk/new-state-pension/what-youll-get#:~:text=The%20full%20new%20State%20Pension,amount%20of%20Additional%20State%20Pension) So, the British government spends, on average, £60.90 more per week on illegal asylum seekers than on their own people who have contributed NIC payments for decades. Does that satisfy your desire for details? "Does that satisfy your desire for details?" No, it sure does not. My comment clearly referred to illegal immigrants, not asylum seekers whose benefits you quoted. There's a difference. Post some details of what financial benefits illegal immigrants, not asylum, seekers are "entitled" to and I'll be satisfied with eating humble pie.

I know.

Why bother, just send them to America, transgenders are the in thing there right now. Good idea, anywhere, as long as I don't have to see them!

Sliced bread's got nothing on me!

Why the personal attack for an opinion that differs from yours? I'm surprised that you don't know the rules here.

And you're the man to do it? Sure am. I'm surprised that you put the question mark at the end of your comment, you could have just left it as a statement!

I am not sure if you're aware but the country is bankrupt and there is no pension pot but pension commitments. The pot is empty and spent a long time ago. It's a pomzi scheme and the current pensions are paid by current NI contributions. If there was a pot like private pensions they are invested and increases are paid by the investments. It's a scam. What's any of that got to do with my comment? I'll help you with that...nothing. State pensions are not "a scam".

If that was a serious response, you, seriously, need to do some research on what refugees are as opposed to illegal immigrants.

There's a lot of things that need sorting out today!

Which answer?

The increases are not "what is due" in Thailand, you already get what is due, i.e. the state pension that you are paid.

Yet another who needs to try to understand the difference between illegal immigrants and refugees accepted as asylum seekers.

You may want to check up on that question/claim! But, even if it were true, what have the pension arrangements of other countries got to do with the UK's?

Yes, obviously, it is legal. Were you forced to leave the UK to live in Thailand?

This is actually about the way the UK governments treat it's non-resident UK citizens who voluntarily became immigrants to Thailand.
