Further to my previous post I see that a grass roots Labour Party pressure group has stated: “In the face of the systematic grooming and rape of young girls by mostly Pakistani men across English towns, progressives denied, obfuscated, equivocated, averted their eyes, changed the subject. Anything but look the dark side of multiculturalism squarely in the eye. “Those who extol the benefits of immigration and multiculturalism most loudly seem to have little interest in what their policies have meant for towns across England. In liberal society, it is seen as impolite to talk about such things. This squeamishness is moral cowardice. “We hope the attention on the most awful scandal in modern British history leads to justice for the victims. A national inquiry would be a start, but what is really needed is tougher sentencing, an end to political correctness and a total reset of our immigration policy.” I

As far as this scandal is concerned, the whole point of some people people, whether at a conscious or unconscious level, is to shift attention to a blowhard like Robinson or - obviously on a completely different level - an eccentric genius like Elon Musk.Anything repeat anything not to focus on the scandal you detail.

And so it goes on, the instant attempt at deflection.These people will always try to find a way to avoid the issue, namely industrial scale abuse and rape mainly by people of Pakistani ethnicity.The deniers tend to be insignificant and intellectually under powered, and one need not pay too much attention to them.One must be less forgiving of cowardly politicians, while recognizing the bravery of a few.So the issue festers and poisons British politics allowing (in my view) an ugly right wing movement to have a chance of power.

The issue is raping gangs not Tommy Robinson.It has become normal for the usual suspects to seize on Robinson's many shortcomings to deflect from the mass sexual abuse of girls on an industrial scale by a particular ethnicity in Northern and Midlands towns.The Jay Report of 2022 made a number of recommendations which have not been properly implemented by either the Tories or Labour.As for Robinson he was indeed one of the earliest to warn of the scandal but he is however a deeply flawed individual, and his present prison sentence is nothing to do with whistle blowing. For those that are interested Douglas Murray sums up and gives context.The usual suspects will however just stick their fingers in their ears and label Murray as an extremist.

I doubt whether many people take this conspiracy rubbish seriously or the dimwits that promote it.However for those that may not be aware of the psycho Mark Crispin Miller, a brief scan of his Wikipedia article will demonstrate his lunacy.Among other things he considers the appalling Sandy Hook gunning down of children to have been a fake.

My debit card expiry with Krungsri falls due in a couple of months. When withdrawing some cash at an ATM I received notice of this suggesting the card should be renewed at any branch.Normally new cards are sent to my residential address.I wondered whether personal pick up represents a new security measure.

Even Bt 13,800 seems on the high side.However having obtained the TIN, subsequent annual filings should be cheaper - say Bt 7000. In your position (and actually it reflects my own) I would probably pay an accountant to obtain my TIN and process the first filing and thereafter do it myself with the first filing as a guide.

Looming Crisis: Private Schools Face Closures Amid VAT Hike
jayboy replied to Social Media's topic in World News
We may not know precisely but it's already clear the receipts -never that significant in the scheme of things - will be much less than the figures bandied around.It was never the prime motive anyway,Meanwhile the dullard Education Secretary is intent on rolling back the reforms which have seen English state schools shoot up the global league tables over the past 15 years. -

Ending charitable status was on the Labour agenda but was dropped - too difficult and in breach of law.Also politically toxic. Labour's ideal would be to smash the famous schools but these are too financially robust.Therefore they are concentrating on the smaller provincial schools where they can inflict most stress and pain. Yes parents with children in the independent system tend to be better off than average.Not sure of your point. You have become confused on the tax aspect.There is no loophole because education has never been taxed.It is the parents of independent school children who are providing the subsidy, by paying for a state education they do not utilise.In some countries the state reimburses parents for this very reason. -

Wrong.It's a spiteful immoral policy which fails to achieve its very modest financial objectives. It's not clear at all (You provided a tainted source as your proof) but in any case that's not the issue. For most people, except leftist zealots, one of the purposes of life is to struggle to obtain a better future for their children.That's why rich middle class parents tend to buy houses in excellent state schools' catchment areas. What else do you want to ban to ensure equality for all - parental attention, reading habits, domestic stability, overseas holidays, extra tuition, excellent genes etc etc? All the things that give middle class children advantages in life? Here's an idea.Instead of spiteful attacks on excellent independent schools, how about encouraging co-operation between the two sectors and above all improving state schools. -

What is PEPF that commissioned this poll? Do they have any policy agenda one way or the other? Oh, they turn out to be a left wing pressure group dedicated to end private education. Even if this poll should be discounted - which it should be - I don't disagree that a majority probably favour a toff bashing policy.They probably also favour capital punishment and deportation of immigrants.Government should do what is right not what the crowd is baying for -

Your rather crass comment about parents choice probably reflects the government position.They don't care about these children and hate the idea of private education and are motivated by class envy ( to be fair usually chippy lower middle class rather than working class). There is no tax loophole.Education has never been taxed. It is unlikely there will be significant net funds raised.In any case any funds raised are fungible and will go into the Exchequer pot.They will be not be ring fenced and may as well end up in funding more public sector pay increases. -

Parents who go private are already paying twice, because they pay taxes for state schools that they don’t use and fees on top of that – which is why school fees are tax deductible in Germany. Spin it any way you want, this is a policy born of cynicism and class hatred. -

Every single one - repeat every single one - of the top public schools (ie any independent school that one has heard of) has charitable status.These are the well known schools that Labour hates - Eton, Harrow, Winchester etc.These are the schools that have wealth and influence.These are the schools that will cope with the government's vandalism.The smaller obscurer schools will suffer the most, the ones that educate the children of the struggling middle class. It's class warfare and anything these cretins believe to be "posh" is the target of their envy and nastiness.The Government hates the middle class, hates ambition, hates aspiration and middle class people who want the best for their children.To be fair, I don't think Starmer thinks this but being a weak man, he sees this VAT vandalism as red meat to be thrown to the left. -

None of the major independent schools have a purpose to generate profit.In fact that would be forbidden under their charitable status.It is wrong to suggest they were exempt from VAT because they have never been subject to it.No other country charges VAT on education.The measures being implemented in the UK are just an example of class hatred, spitefully introduced in the middle of the school year to cause maximum disruption and distress.
