Really now? And how is your sterling holding up against the baht as a result of Brexit. Deal with the truth of that.
Whats that got to do with my post?
The pound has been devaluing for decades..I suggest you deal with that yourself.

I agree. They present their readers with alternative facts so well.
Assuming there would be such thing as an impartial newspaper..news gathered from government sources is only that which they want publicly known.
The truth is always illusive or unobtainable.
A wise successful old trader once said to me, 'Believe nothing you hear and only half of what you see, and let your money be the last thing you part with.'

But this is the first time people are trying to (edit - immediately) subvert a democratic decision in the UK?
Try as long ago as 1653.
The best ever speech in parliament.
It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice; ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government; ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.
Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my horse; gold is your God; which of you have not barter'd your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?
Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defil'd this sacred place, and turn'd the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices? Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation; you were deputed here by the people to get grievances redress'd, are yourselves gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors.
In the name of God, go!

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.

I certainly do not think they deserve preferential treatment over other British children, but I do think they should be treated preferentially to non British children, especially those who have no link to this country and whose family have Never made any monetary contribution to this country.
Lastly I did not abanded my country, when I went with work to Thailand, and unfortunately the U.K. tax authorities have also not assused I never abandoned the country. As every year they have demanded that I continue to make contribution to the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
One thing I have always admired about the Thais, they will never give preferential treatment to a foreigner over a Thai. I beleive that should my Thai wife decides to return and live in Thailand after 30yrs, she will automatically, on production of her Thai passport be treated as another Thai, and will certainly not expect none Thais to have preferential treatment over her.
Thais look after Thais, sensible people.

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.

Thailand has no concept of being controlled by a foreign union.
and has stringent controls of it borders and immigration.
Land is virtually impossible for UK immigrants to purchase.
The Thai economy is sustainable. Is that is being small minded?

Mmmmm. Grouse in gravy. With baked potatoes and peas, but definitely no Brussels sprouts.
I would recommend caponizing older cock fowl before stuffing and roasting.

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)

QUOTE:
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.

The UK lost credibility when it gave away its fishing rights to the EU, as well as farming in the UK. The UK should just walk away, forget the bribe money they are suppose to pay the EU and say rollocks to any default.
Its about time the UK should grow some rollocks.

I am actually glad 'Barnpot' has leaked this as even some remainers will not like getting punished for leaving the EU. It just cements what I have always believed and many others that the EU is a corrupt, bully boys club that is about control and eroding countries identities. Do as we say or else.
The EU has been compared with the Cosa Nostra before.

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.
