Us 'reds' have a lot to thank Tory Brexiteers for- after all...they're about to do something no Labour Party has ever been able to do....deliver Uk's first truly socialist government!!

The Tory party's austerity/poverty policies are the gift to Labour.

Too many people struggling in UK, they must have their say.

The Tory's 'fairer society' talk is not the way they walk.

A few years ago, the Thais had a political party called “ Thai rak Thai” meaning Thais Love Thai. Perhaps the remainers should form a party “Brits who dislike Brits”

Include me in that..they are all Cynthia Buckets.

You realise that (inaccurately) pointing out the faults of one Nation  - albeit member of ASEAN - has no relation to the post I made? ....Apparently not..... 

 

The problems of one nation in no way justify or mitigate the sins of another.

 

However, do you really want a future UK to be on a par with Thailand.....but without the weather?

If you think that Thai immigration laws are 'faulty', go back to Bradford.

Hardly a rebuttal, swerve away from the main truth in the post, but that's the tactics of some that don't like the truth

Yeah, thats why he's on my ignore list.

They are honouring the decision. Why should they offer a good trade deal?

What would be the point of offering a bad trade deal?   EU nonsense!

'Honouring' / Demanding money with menace is unlawful.

It's rather more subtle than that

 

Certainly the EU will not offer the UK a good deal partly for the reasons you cite.

 

However, making clear that remedies will be sought if the UK is in breach seems wise to me. ( according to degree)

If the EU can't honour a democratic decision with grace,  there is a greater reason to leave.

It is not about leaving the union it is a matter of breach of agreement. I am old enough to remember when our word was our bond. Alas, no more. 

 

Again, Brexiteers show their true colours (to varying degrees)

Don Barnio is no gentlman.

I could do without French wine, cheese and German cars, as an example.

 

When people say things like this, you realise that further discussion is pointless.

Pointless indeed it is, cant beat cracking English cheese, Ozzy wine..

not sure about German cars though..disgraceful selling Rolls and Bentley.

I can presume that as well but WHO would enforce them and punish the EU?

Thai Visa membership has fallen dramatically(George sure knows when to sell) and sadly, there seems to be only the older retired types who have married Isarn women left. This reflects the stories that are put in the "news" as gets more responses than real news related to Thailand. All these old fuddy duddies like to criticize as it makes their own situation feel better, living in a dirt poor province with a farmer's daughter half their age, but she works hard and is grateful for them being her saviour! 

Some of us old fuddy duddies might have realised that there is more to life than a big city, where everything is fake and hype.

Yes it's too bad that so many guys go slumming to find a girl to bring back home. You pick an uneducated girl from the sticks, then you get what you deserve. 

I'm always amazed at guys who will date these losers here but would never think of dating a similar loser trailer trash girl back home. 

 

Its always women that do the choosing, and like attracts like.

Of course! You get free housing, free welfare handouts, no strings attached. You can hustle up some extra tax-free cash in various criminal scams. And if you're muslim, you can whine about how impossible life is in the West and intimidate other religions, women and homosexuals. Everyone else will defer to you out of fear.

Yep, sold up in London, got quite scary, a bizarre mix of folk,- but when my car conked out in Finsbury Park, blacks and all sorts gave me a push start. Conversely, car was pilfered in Belgravia. I've had a brick thrown at me while driving,  attacked by a gang of hoodies wielding baseball bats and hammers. Not the best place to take Thai lady.

What about a woman that keeps taking your pots and pulling out the dead plants and planting seeds and getting them to flourish and then picks the plants and cooks them. But she also go to work 6 days a week and buys meat at the market near where she works out of her own money. Is she a good woman to have?

She should fire you.

I agree with everything you say bkk6060

 

I cringe when I see the way some guys grovel to their stuck-up girlfriends in Bangkok.

A good test is to give a woman a living plant in a pot and wait.  If it frourishes, she is ok. If it withers and dies.. run.
