With the margin being a bit over the half it shows that people are not too concerned either way.  In which case it is quite OK to have the Politicians act on it.  If the vote had been say 30% for I would say it would be wrong for the politicians to act as obviously there is strong feeling.

I fully agree that those in transit at the time of signing and a reasonable time after should be allowed entry if otherwise qualified.

I f as we are told here visas are not a guarantee of entry it is reasonable to apply a restriction to them.....but I would consider only allowing entry during a very short period  say the next two weeks on these and subjecting them to scrutiny on or before arival.

I've got no problem with that, as long as it's done under the valid process of the political system enshrined in your founding documents.

 

The bigger question is, "Is the UK a representative democracy, or a democracy by referendum?"  The answer to that question dwarfs the Brexit issue.

 

If Parliament approves it, that bigger question goes away.   If they don't- and Brexit gets pushed through anyway- get ready for a whole bunch of referendums pushed forward by every group with a cause and an internet petition.

I rhink a more important question came out in the court case.  It is who makes UK law.....and the High Court said it was the EU.  Not something for a country to be proud of and one I am sure not many of those who supported the Common Market expected.

You don't have to condone overstay to feel sorry for the predicament that this person is in. And we have to remember that there are two persons who did nothing wrong here but who are deeply affected, named they child and the father.

 

It does seem more than harsh that a family should suffer so badly because one broke some administrative rules. Blacklisting in other countries is usually reserved for criminals of the highest order.

Actually many other countries apply blacklisting for overstays,  the difference is that in most of the other countries there is some form of appeal mechanism through the courts which will look at reasons and often adjust the period.

Quite franky I could not care whether the guy was white black or purple.  He is a person and has rights and these were  abused.

Police who act outside the law bring disrespect to themselves their organisation and their country.

I wonder why so many despotic counties consider themselves the bastions of freedom.

Or does it really know where the enemy lies.

Inane.

You would not think so if you had to use one all the time.  A little of it may teacch him the difficulties faced by many everyday and he may get home but may have to wheel it the whole way.

Mandate 12[edit]

The final mandate, On protecting children, the elderly and the handicapped, issued 28 January 1942, consisted of two items:

1. "In public places or roads, people should assist and protect children, the elderly, or the handicapped."
2. "Whoever follows item 1 is considered a cultured person deserving of the respect of the Thai people."^[13]

Does the inverse apply?

It has been said Thailand has no rule for disability.  Wrong it has.

It has been said budget carriers do not need to support disability ..wrong.

It has been said there is no law for disability of airlines...wrong if we are talking about IATA carriers.

Please IATA throw that red flag.

ICAO too.

What absolute nonsense, I am very disabled and I find the Thai people far more caring than any others, that I have come across. Yesterday I used the special toilet for disabled people in a petrol station. It was spotlessly clean and had state-of-the-art toilet with electronic douche and drying. I have never seen anything like this even even in a hotel or other place. Some years back when I travelled on the skytrain it's always a Thai that gets up to give me his seat, seldom a farang. I could go on and on. My elderly mother some years back visited me in Thailand and she commented on how wonderful the Thai people for helping the elderly.

So I come the conclusion that your post is just another ignorant Thai bashing one.

I agree about many thai people being considerate and helpful

The fancy toilet you used was probably in a PTT station.  Government organisation ordered to provide them in the past.

In the category, you have to apply for a work permit in order to do business legally in Thailand.

This act probably cost the world more lives than BinLladen  ever did by bringing health services into disrepute and making countries reject health services by NGOs

They do have escape hammers...under the driver seat for when passengers try to escape.

Sadly you seem to be living in an area where the costs for foreigners are well and truly inflated.

I do not know whether you are living there permamently or not but if you are not it may be cheaper to move somewhere else for the month or so before.  You will probably find it a lot more affordable.

Although this may not be what you want to hear do not forget Thai mothers have been having babies for centuries and the Government hospital may be a lot cheaper but the care is good.

Sheryl should be able to give you some advise.

As far as I can see she has nothing to be ashamed of...wait I will get my glasses.

Seriously......a pretty girl and customers do like something to look at.  Does not make her a slut.  

I suggest sending a PM to the poster...Sheryl who can put you on the right track.

Good luck...you have an interesting few years ahead.,

Sad...I recall there was an accident with a previous Children's Day display.

I guess this wil end them which will be a sad loss.  I still remember he aerial displays when I was young (not in Thailand) and the oportunities to actually sit in a Sabre cockpit and be told how to fly...I was about 10 by the person who flew it for real.

Actually, the average age of CEC members is right at age 65, so many come here before age 65.  Companies like Health Care International will start new policies up to age 75, but the cost will be more than US$2300 per year.  What MalandLee proposed simply isn't workable from an actuarial standpoint.  There's a reason insurance becomes more expensive the older you get.  The Thai gov't health care system is stretched to capacity already.  The last thing they want are to open the flood gates elderly foreign retirees who are paying something like the 13,300 baht/month proposed by MalandLee.

 

Hubby and I went to Malaysia and investigated the 10 yr Malaysia retirement visa in December.  You have to have health insurance.  No option to buy into their gov't health care cheaply.  You have to purchase private health cover at the sort of prices Luther mentioned.

Well no but if I agreed based on a promise and a promise proved to be a lie would it be rape.  There surely could be no consent based on a lie
