The Trump blimp, on it's first outing back a couple of years was rather funny.

 

It's now, well, "been there, done that, got the tee shirt..."

Agreed. Also, if I was a stranger to the UK or US, I'd think that these remain and lefty protesters were supporting Boris and Trump by flying balloons depicting them. Damned kids in adult bodies these protesters, wish they'd return to their teaching jobs and quit bothering the sane.

I'll say what a lot are already thinking "Life in jail's too good for him".

"could add 30 billion pounds ($37.4 billion) a year to public borrowing by the 2020/21 financial year, the OBR said."

The 30 billion pounds we save by leaving will sort out the first year's public borrowing. Typical "project fear" blx story.

If you are only interested in shagging and drinking Thailand eventually becomes very boring, and ultimately a depressing place to be long term

I've been with my Thai wife for 12 years now and am reasonably happy, but I do sometimes yearn for the shagging and drinking. After all, it's the main reason I came to the country in the first place after several boring years of living in France. Unfortunately, it only lasted three months before I got snared by the missus, bless her cotton socks ????

Perhaps their wives and kids who depend on them do? The income requirement for a UK expat is now 7-8 times the minimum wage here. Fall below this, and you're a desparado? I'll never understand the apologists...

No nor me, but the guy you replied to is one of the chief apologists. He seems to love bashing his own kind, that's why I have him on ignore.

Asking the electorate will be the only way out of the impasse. And it is the most sensible thing to do. The second most sensible thing. The most sensible thing would be to bin Brexit altogether (which will happen eventually anyway). 

They've already asked the electorate and remainers refuse to accept the democratic result. Also if Brexit were binned, that would be the end of democracy in the UK as we know it.

So, now you say that a parked car in the road is risking to be schratched, damaged or worse, and that is her fault? She was too lazy, so she deserved it, right? 

What about the frenchman that drove into it, and are driving a Fino on trafficated roads, with bad sight? He´s probably toally innocent, right?

We do not know if he was drunk too, maybe, maybe not. Anyway, he did wrong and the woman had bought a new car a week ago. I can totally understand the reaction. There is no need for all these irresponsible overaged foreign teenagers that stopped use their brain many years ago.

I think everyone"s missing the point here, it doesn't matter who's at fault. The guy's on the ground in a pool of blood. Beggar the festering car, worry about it later. Cheez, some people.

Quote “Malicious leaks of this nature ... can actually lead to a damage to that relationship, which can therefore affect our wider security interest.” Unquote

It isn't the leak that's the problem, it's the fact that our ambassador actually said it. If true, then fire Darroch (who's position is now untenable), then find out who leaked it, in that order. The leaker must've had clearance up to at least "Secret" to have had access to that report.

Because of the new immigration rules on embassy letters, I decided to open an account with Bangkok Bank (BB). The branch in Central Pattaya refused unless I had a letter from immigration. Visited immigration, they told me I had to have an embassy letter before issuing their letter. I then did what I should've done in the first place and went to another branch of BB who were only too pleased to open an account for me without the immigration and embassy letter blx. It's the price we pay for living in the sunny third world.

The current list of tariffs published on 2 July, 2019 by the World Trade Organization. I can't believe the UK let their citizens vote on Brexit. I bet most people can't even read this document. If they can, they would have voted not to leave. 

The current state of the UK finances are down to the remainers causing chaos over Brexit. If they'd just accepted the democratic result of the referendum and got behind the country, then we wouldn't be in this mess. It's all down to the remain traitors and that excuse for a manager of the BoE, who isn't even British.

   Teachers using violence is unacceptable in a civilized society.     What a fiasco. 

Disagree! Teachers not using violence is why we no longer have a civilised society. When I was at school it was the only thing that kept us in line. If not for fear, we'd have run riot.

Democracy in the UK seems to be under threat as never before. It's no longer the left who seem unable to accept the will of the people, now you have the "remainers" thrown into the mix. Johnson will be elected leader (probably) in a democratic process under the Tory party rules, but Labour's Momentum want to interfere in that now. Brexit's at the bottom of it of course, the left and remainers are determined to stop it despite it being the will of the people. I think Momentum would be advised to think again, because if they get Johnson out and manage to force an election, there's a good chance that there'd be a backlash against the left and the Brexit Party would walk in. I'm grateful for the straightforward politics of Thailand!

Can he, or Boris, do it with Parliament voting against such a Brexit. Is that democratic?

Very! Because the people have voted for it and parliament is the servant of the people, not the politicians.
