Judge Linford should be removed from his post.  Any normal person would suggest that anyone not involved in rioting was not involved in rioting, they were involved in a protest.  It was the opposite of a challenging decision.   

 

The court of appeal are going to be busy bees in future as some (most) of these sentences are insane.   The demand for "far right" does not come close to meeting the supply so they are locking up innocent people who have the legal right to protest without engaging in violence.   If any of these judges were have been found to have been "carried away" removing peoples liberty they should face equivalent punishment.   

 

What a way to "thank someone for their service".  

I spent 25 years in military service and have yet to attend a protest or a riot.

Oddly enough no one has yet thanked me for my service. Perhaps it is because I don't drink 18 cans of alcohol plus 3/4 bottle of tequila. Perhaps it is because I am a law abiding citizen

You misread the guy you were quoting..

He is pointing out that a non O cannot be obtained at immigration in Thailand from a visa exempt or tourist visa entry using income method without embassy letter. 

OK. 

I haven't used a visa exempt or tourist visa going back as far as 1993.

I have always used a normal visa until my Non Imm O back in 2015

The SRT can make as many rules and give out as many warnings as they want.

However as usual, the stupid people out there will simply ignore all the "silly rules" and carry on as normal.

There is still no medical cure for the condition known as stupid.

The only acceptable method using income for the Non Imm O from Immigration is an Embassy Income letter.

 

You can only use the income method to obtain the Non Imm O from a Thai Embassy/Consulate before entering Thailand.

Staying with Family Visas

 

To stay with non-Thai family residing in Thailand (more than 60 days)

 

To stay with Thai family residing in Thailand (more than 60 days)

 

Required Document

(Please check relevant embassy/
consulate's website for specifically
required documents)

1. Biodata page of Passport or Travel Document
2. Photograph taken within the last six months
3. Document indicating current location
4. Financial evidence showing monthly income of no less than 40,000 THB or having the current balance of 400,000 THB, e.g. bank statements, proof of earnings
5. Personal details of a family in Thailand, e.g. ID card, Passport and the visa page or stay permit in Thailand
6. Proof of relationship to a family in Thailand, e.g. A copy of marriage certificate / birth certificate / certificate of adoption

No it isn't.

I got my Non O visa from NZ back in 2009 and i have been using the Embassy letter until 2018 when the UK embassy stopped issuing the letter from 1st January 2019.

I have been using Wise to transfer my pensions to my Bangkok Bank account since 2018.

On both my BKK bank statements and in the bankbook it clearly shows that my pension income is an international transfer and the Immigration office at Kamphaeng Phet accept that.

I could of course send it directly to the joint account at Kasikorn Bank, but that would mean that I would.

A) Have to open an account in my name only, 

B) Request an invoice from KBank head off for each transfer.

I can't be bothered, as the system works simply and easily as it is, and as an ex engineer of many years, I was taught that if it works, don't screw about with it.

I don't talk Thai politics with my wife and son either. They are both big enough and old enough to make their own minds up.

Yesterday there was another terrible crime - a young girl and a woman brutally stabbed in broad daylight in the heart of London.

 

GB News covered this story extensively, but unlike the stabbing of the 3 young girls 2 weeks ago, news of this recent stabbing has been 'buried' by the MSM newspapers.  No major headline, no reporting - just a few sentences buried in the small print.

 

It's the same for all UK MSM newspapers, and I don't believe that this is a coincidence.

 

Starmer trying to bury bad news?  Certainly looks like it to me.....

It doesn't look like it to me.

From the BBC news website today.

A 32-year-old man has appeared in court charged with attempted murder after an 11-year-old girl was stabbed in London’s Leicester Square on Monday.
Ioan Pintaru, a Romanian national with no fixed address, is also charged with possession of a bladed article.
The prosecutor told the court that Mr Pintaru allegedly placed the girl into a headlock and stabbed her eight times. She was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
Westminster Magistrates' Court remanded Mr Pintaru in custody. He is due to appear at the Old Bailey in September.
The court heard that Mr Pintaru allegedly approached two tourists - the girl and her mother - in Leicester Square at about 11.30 BST.
The girl sustained injuries to her face, shoulder, neck and wrist during the attack, the court was told.
She remains in hospital and is likely to go undergo plastic surgery as a result of her injuries, the court heard.
Mr Pintaru only spoke, via an interpreter, to confirm his name, date of birth, and that he had no fixed address.

OMG, the witch hunt continues!  🤮

 

What witch hunt would that be?

I contacted the veterans gateway chatline yesterday (open 24/7), but they only seem to give out links to other sites though they are useful contact links.

If you are in receipt of certainly an RAF pension and you are married to a Thai lady who speaks less than perfect UK government gobbledygook English, it may be a good idea to do as much of the paperwork yourself asap. 

I am not sure yet if they will accept any documents such as a death certificate in Thai, nor am I sure at this point if they will require the original document or a copy or a certified copy (who can or will certify any document?) but you may need more than 1 copy, especially if you have more than 1 pension. 

I will dig as deeply and as quickly as I can.

For the Army, RN and RM you may have to go to the veterans gateway to get the links that are relevant to your branch.

IMHO it always depends on where the immigration office is and what the staff are like.

 

My nearest office is Kamphaeng Phet some 70 km away, and the staff are farang friendly. No agents work through the office.

 

I renewed my marriage extension on Thursday last week and I forgot the bank letter. He asked me to go back and get it and he did my paperwork whilst I was at the bank. They rang my wife on Monday asking if a house visit was OK for Tuesday and 2 guy from Immigration turned up, asked a few questions of my wife and the 2 witnesses, took some photos and went on their way.

 

The second visit in 6 years.

 

No problems and no hassles.

For the poster who left a confused emoji.

Please tell me why you are confused and I will try to explain it.

trans men at Kamala rally pour their hearts out about being pregnant losing a baby and not wanting to go through that again 

 

 

It seems as though you can make up stuff like this.

If it is correct then the trans man must have had all the internal plumbing that he was born with as a male carefully removed, and a complete set of women's plumbing including a womb to replace it.

There must have been no medical rejections from any parts that were replaced and I am presuming that the donor woman was 100% in agreement.

Also that the blood groups were matched.

It must have been done secretly and everybody concerned would have had to sign a non disclosure agreement. If not, then the procedure would have been trumpeted from the roof tops and the medical crew book up solidly for years ahead.

next would come the choice of who would become the father followed by what caused the child to be aborted.

All of this would cost a very large sum of money.

I cannot say that this never happened, but my imagination simply can't stretch that far.

Is is possible for something like this to happen.

At this point in time, I don't think so, but in the future, who knows?

After all Dr Frankenstein's monster was made of spare parts that were just lying around.

I have been looking at an Etrike, but this has normal lead acid batteries instead of these "wonderful" new E batteries made from Lithium etc.

Perhaps that would be a safer option.

My water supply runs from the mains supply to 20 ongs and then back down to the pump.

The difference is that between the ongs and the pump, I have installed 2 x 20 inch 5 micron filters to filter out the smaller crap that doesn't sink to the bottom of the ongs.

I usually replace the first filter once a month and the second filter every 3 months as they get bunged up in that time. Even then smaller particles still get through and stain the toilets.

Why does that matter to you?

Does Trump identify as a convicted felon, a convicted sex offender and a compulsive serial liar?

The gop seems to think that those qualities are what every president should have, which must be the only reason that they are supporting Trump.

I think you would be better doing swimming and/or cycling, running puts a lot of pressure on your knees and ankles especially starting from scratch after 40 years of the lifestyle you had. Good luck with your changes, you will be greatful for it in later life.

Swimming is fine, IF you have a pool nearby, Cycling is OK if you live in a rural area with not a lot of traffic, IF you have good balance and always carry your mobile just in case you need help.

At 80 I try to get around 1 hour exercise per day at home using the UK NHS websites      " Exercises for the elderly", also their 2 breathing exercises.

They are free. and available on any internet search. I used Google to find them. I also try to keep up with outside odd jobs that I can do. Climbing stepladders for me is OK up tp 3 steps, but past that point I have a balance problem am I am not too happy past that point.
