Tourism ministry dual pricing proposal for hotel rates
JonnyF replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Coming to a 711 near you. Jack the prices up 50%. Then offer a 50% discount for anyone with a Thai ID card. Claim it's not dual pricing, it's a local discount. The apologists on here will no doubt support it, quoting DisneyWorld, poor Thai people (arriving in their Benz) etc. ???? -
It appears what you want is to blame the Tories for everything, including a global pandemic and the war in Ukraine (which FYI is a big contributor in the cost of living crisis). The solutions are being implemented but will take time. Mercifully, with Labour nowhere near power for the foreseeable future.

There is a backlog. The NHS was delaying treatment while COVID was killing millions of people throughout the world. Maybe an analogy would help? When you have a crash on the motorway and traffic jams back up for 20km, it doesn't all instantly disappear as soon as the damaged vehicles are moved onto the hard shoulder. It takes time. If you are the last one in that 20km queue, it can take quite a lot of time. <snip>

Covid-19 put an incredible strain on the NHS. While the government's increased NHS spending and excellent vaccine management program helped matters, there is inevitably a backlog for treatment after such an incredibly destructive pandemic. Ignoring the impact of Covid to score political points is disingenuous in the extreme.

I was just correcting your misquote, I wasn't expecting you to like it. So you're saying it was the Tories fault that Blair lied to Parliament about WMD and took us into an illegal war alongside the Republican Bush, causing tens of thousands of deaths and decades of instability in the Middle East? ???? Whilst simultaneously accusing me of shifting the blame? ???? Quite the stretch

Actually I didn't say I was pleased had weakened. What I said was that it had been great for some of us. People like me who earn in Baht and send home to invest in UK property, UK exporters, people involved in tourism etc. Unfortunately the Tories believed Blair about his WMD lies. I also believed him in '97 and voted for him. The war criminal fooled a few of us, but never again will I believe the lies of a labour politician. Given their (lack of) success at the polls, I am not the only one.

The Tories have done OK. Not as well as I would have liked, but not terrible (unless your focus is on a drinks party at number 10) in the torrid circumstances. Infinitely better than the opposition would have done, with their People's vote, Woke ideologies and economic illiteracy. I still haven't forgotten the war crimes committed by Blair last time around, creating decades of instability in the Middle East on the basis of lies about WMD. An illegal war in the middle east or a drinks party? Hmmm, tough choice.
