  1. I never said that, many come with visas and overstay in UK. The OP is like my friend who complains about the Thai corruption and thinks he has pure integrity but as I pointed out to him, he pays 5,000 baht to Koret immigration so he doesn’t need to travel to bkk to get an embassy letter. Not as bad as OP but still illegal.
  2. Yeah, I know some too. I’m sure some of the immigrants in the uk are nice too, the fact is they are paying traffickers $500++ to remain in the country. Remember that Thai visa one that got done, husband and wife with fake stamps and growing illegal drugs? Thailand the traffickers pay the police, UK it’s not allowed.
  3. He’s just got a chip on his shoulder as he can’t stay here legally. Bit bizarre starting a topic about it though, low self-esteem can do strange things to some.
  4. So illegal immigrants that have money are OK in your book but ones that don’t aren’t, ok.
  5. You complain about Illegal immigrants in UK, rather hypocritical when it’s happening here, illegal student visas, no money in bank by bribing police etc.
  6. I touched a nerve, do you use a trafficking agent for your visa?
  7. Not oranges, it’s happening here, I know MANY . https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/crime/thailand-cracks-down-on-misuse-of-student-visas-by-foreigners Some customers who had paid sums of up to ฿30,000 in advance of receiving approved visas… Thai police raided a home in eastern Bangkok on Tuesday and arrested an American and his Thai wife on charges of forgery connected with a Thai company and service providing illegal visas to foreigners in the country. They also discovered what appears to be a cannabis factory. https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2020/08/05/american-thai-wife-arrested-operating-an-illegal-visa-business-in-bangkok-using-fake-stamps/#google_vignette
  8. Totally agree, get an ICE like dept to round up all boat people. Vote Reform.
  9. So an immigrant/sexpat paying an agent $500 to bribe an IO to bypass requirements is different?
  10. Exactly, there’s some conflicted people saying otherwise.
  11. ? They, like most countries in the region abhor Israel, they want Palestinians to stay in their native land.
  12. Is that all, what about Thailand, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and all the other countries whose foreign policy is not controlled by Israeli lobbying/money?
  13. Yes, probably, but no certainty. I remember many dole cheats got housing benefit in Bournemouth years ago. I just find it very hypocritical that many immigrants to Thailand complain about illegal immigrants in the UK. Especially as many of them are here illegally, if they use a Visa 'Agent' to illegally bribe an immigration policeman to bypass immigration requirements, like the need for money in the bank etc. Hypocritical and entitled.
  14. So I am right, he is not known to be illegal.
  15. Is that the same as immigrants in your country?
  16. Are you assuming this fellow is illegal because of his color? Do rapists only choose poor people?
  17. I see nothing to say this Sudanese fellow entered the UK illegally.
  18. I think Bannork has you guys on ignore, he’s a wise man.
  19. Calling Hamas terrorists seeking an Islamist state ignores the true issue, Palestinians have lived under decades of occupation without sovereignty. For most people(except a few brainwashed Westerners), Hamas represents resistance, not ideology.
  20. No, you are mistaken, Israel have been the aggressors for many years and land thieves and oppressors.
  21. Do you think Gazans would be better off under a blockade, totally controlled by a discriminatory Israel? What a choice, live in a concentration camp or support freedom fighters.
  22. Absolutely justified, well said. I can’t believe the double standards by many here. They may as well say they think Israelis deaths count more than Gazans. Horrible.
  23. How many Israelis have died in Israel in the last 2 years because of Palestinian bombs? How many in Gaza have died in the last 2 years even after being told to evacuate? Israel is breaking international law by telling innocent Gazans to leave before they flatten their homes. Wake up, your views are becoming offensive when you refuse to admit any wrongdoing by Israel, it is ridiculous.
