Why is the UK struggling more than other countries?
Mac Mickmanus replied to Scott's topic in World News
Yes, I am giving my personal opinion about life in the U.K post Brexit , the reason why many other posters on here cannot do likewise is because they haven't even been to the U.K post Brexit -
I bought a towel from there , large heavy duty cotton towels for 200 Baht and they had the names of various resorts around Thailand woven into them , I got a Phuket one , even though I have never been there

Why is the UK struggling more than other countries?
Mac Mickmanus replied to Scott's topic in World News
Look , although this is a public forum, I was actually replying to someone else and that person claimed that I have a "limited knowledge" of Brexit and its aftermath and I was just pointing out that I am living with it , rather than commenting from the other side of the World and may not even have been to the U.K post Brexit . Its rather like spectators watching a football match from the stands and shouting at the players and telling them what to do, where they are going wrong and what they should be doing . -
Sending money to Thailand
Mac Mickmanus replied to Mac Mickmanus's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I did use Western Union in the end , although they gave a bad exchange rate (38 Baht to the Pound) and 7.50 costs , they were the most convenient . I just went to a local W.U outlet , gave the name of the recipient and which Country they live in , stated the amount and tapped my ATM card on the card reader and the money was available within 15 minutes and they can collect the money from any W.U office on Thailand using their I.D card for I.D. There were other cheaper options , but you had to name the recipient bank, give their address and account codes and W.U was much more convenient -

Could this corruption scandal signal the end of the EU ?

Is that an old video ? That may have been the U.K taking its 350 Million quid a week to give to the E.U for its weekly membership fee ? Is the video time/date stamped -

You really do not have to explain that to me "again" , I have posted that information in this thread previously and quite possibly I may have been the one to inform you (but you may have known that already ) as I was the one who bought that info to the table in this thread , actually my figure was six million E.U citizens who applied for a UK visas to stay in the U.K , but no need to know the exacat amount -

I do think that if you aren't living with the effects of Brexit and only read about it in biased news sources , then you cannot really have a concise opinion about it . Like , saying the UK should have an open immigration policy when you yourself doesn't have to deal with over crowding issues and a shortage of accommodation which that open border policy causes and you don't have to pay a rise in council taxes to pay illegal immigrants accommodation costs . -

I really do not appreciate being spoken to in such a condescending manner and thus I wont put much effort into my reply , but illegal immigration has nothing to do with Brexit . That's all the effort I will put into my reply -

Ngozi accepts an apology from Lady Hussey and Ngozi acknowledges that the comments "were not malicious" and had the comments been racist , they would indeed have been malicious . Ngozi Fulani receives personal apology at Palace https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-64005705 -

Would they have their U.K citizenship removed from them and have have Irish citizenship enforced upon them and would then then legally be allowed to live anywhere in Ireland , Northern Irish leaving their location and moving all over Ireland and British people (with Irish ancestry) being able to get Isiah citizenship) and then you have have the Loyalists potentially reforming their groups and waging war against the Irish Government . -
Why is the UK struggling more than other countries?
Mac Mickmanus replied to Scott's topic in World News
So , there's even more immigration now and there's also a shortage of Eastern European workers ? It cannot be both , it needs to be either one or the other . Has Brexit stopped E.U immigrants or not ? If there's more immigrants now, then there wouldn't be shortage of workers . There has been an increase in asylum seekers , but now measures have been taken to send them straight back home again -

Well apart from the Republic aren't too keen on getting the six Counties back and unification , now that some in the North want unification, the South are backing off from the suggestion . Links have been previously posted showing that -

Harry says a tweet comparing baby Archie to a chimp was "one of the first things" he saw after the birth in 2019 Just to keep that in perspective , it was a post by a BBC presenter humorously suggesting that the Royal family are like a circus and it wasn't done as an act of racism . As soon as the presenter realised the racist connection he deleted the post and apologised and then got sacked . Whilst the presenter cannot really have any complaints about getting sacked , I do think that Harry should have accepted the apology and understood the context and that is wasn't deliberately racist and that is was a misunderstanding and Harry should have moved on, rather than bringing it back into the spotlight "Once again. Sincere apologies for the stupid unthinking gag pic earlier. Was supposed to be joke about Royals vs circus animals in posh clothes but interpreted as about monkeys & race, so rightly deleted." https://news.sky.com/story/danny-baker-sorry-over-stupid-chimp-tweet-about-royal-baby-archie-11715152

Lady Susan Hussey quits over remarks to charity boss Ngozi Fulani
Mac Mickmanus replied to Scott's topic in World News
I am quite interested to learn about how they operate . What are the specialist services that are only available to females of a African/Caribbean heritage and which aren't available to anyone else ? Here is a quote from the Voice newspaper , a newspaper which concentres on the Black community "Not only that, I heard people in Hackney speak about her. She is a credit to her community and provides vital service for black women," "Sistah Space is a London-based charity, which serves African and Caribbean heritage women and girls affected by domestic and sexual abuse and are currently the only organisation of its kind in the UK." https://www.voice-online.co.uk/news/2021/05/12/sistah-space-launch-a-petition-calling-for-specialist-training-for-those-working-with-black-domestic-violence-victims/ -

I don't know why you are making such a fuss over it , there are numerous charities/ help groups that are there for specific people . For example , here's a helpline for Muslims Females in the UK and another charity specifically for males and another one for Irish in the U.K , having Charites for specific groups (like Sistahspace) is quite common and accepted in the UK https://www.britishpakistanfoundation.com/resources/for-women/ https://www.blueribbonfoundation.org.uk/ https://www.birish.org.uk/ -

From their own website , they categorially state that they are a charity solely to help females from a African /Caribbean heritage (and they often just use the word "Black" as shown in the Guardian link) . That is from their own self description and it would be incorrect to say thy also assist white males or any males at all to be precise or any females not from their own self descriptive category From a UK Government website : "Sistah Space advocate for African heritage women and girls of African and Caribbean heritage affected by abuse." https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regId=1179934&subId=0 -
Why is the UK struggling more than other countries?
Mac Mickmanus replied to Scott's topic in World News
The U.K have had some disagreements with Ireland/Eire about Northern Ireland in the past and as a solution to the trouble , a soft border was made between the two Countries , like an open border . Now that the U.K have left the E.U , the E.U require there to be a hard border between the two , which interferes with the UK/Eire open border agreement . -
