Please could you elaborate? What tax cuts for the wealthy were there in the mini budget last Friday? Thanks.

Isn't that what you were talking about?

Not problems they've caused themselves by not planning? When things are good many people spend spend spend. Get a higher mortgage, buy a new car, go on holiday, depend £1000 per kid at Christmas. My wife and I work 84 hours a week between us. Our hourly rate is just above minimum wage. We save when thigs are good. for times when things are more difficult. I could see that things would not just go back to normal after the pandemic and lockdowns. To me it was obvious. We saved to be ready. Those that did the same are just like us, not cold not hungry and not complaining and asking for handouts. Those that think everything will remain constant, those that think governments can just give billions in furlough, and lockdown the economy without consequences, those that did not think ahead are now struggling. Simple.

Keep up with the news. 555

One that is impossible to join as verification emails are not sent out.

Why? Thais use their ID card to open bank accounts.

Indeed it was a mix up. One that was, rightfully so, corrected. So, why did you mention it?

If you both would like to look back at the post I quoted, the poster said you need a licence to teach, full stop, no ifs or buts. I merely pointed out that it is not a requirement and one can start to teach on a waiver. @AsianAtHeart waivers are valid for 2 years. Not "a year at a time".

I really don't understand why you quoted me. You comment makes no sense in connection to mine.

That is my point. A teacher licence and a waiver are totally different entities. To say one must have a licence to teach is wrong.

I don't have a yellow book or pink ID card. Treatment I have received at the local Tambon clinic has always been free.

I disagree. He was obviously trying to find out if there are advantages being registered at his home address with local authorities. Obviously not being aware of the existence of Yellow Books he's asked about the Blue Book. Answers about yellow books are on topic and useful to the OP.

Your reply to the other poster suggested you may well have done. Your reaction to a suggestion was off the scale. Turning into a tirade of abuse. Not a good impression to set.

You do come across as aggressive and opinionated. Not a good approach when in Thailand.

No. I said in order to be a patriot you must be prepared to defend your nation. That would include the monarchy. I have never said you have to be a monarchies.

Communism 19th century. Socialism 18th Century. You say there were multiple debates about abolishing the monarchy. How many resulted in "yes" to abolishing? There may have been minority of Republicans in Parliament but there certainly has not been a history of republicanism in UK.

In the present. That is where we are. There is a monarch. Patriots defend the monarch. Should the constitution ever change, we'll talk again. In the mean time, you are being churlish.

Oh dear. You really do take the biscuit. If it wasn't so funny it would be sad.

A patriot..... "a person who supports their country and is prepared to defend it." That would include defending King/Queen also. Something you are not doing.

Actually, the summer has been fantastic.

And your point is?

I don't understand. You say that you are aware passports can only be swapped by air but the suggest you will exit on UK passport and then enter a neighbouring country on Irish passport. Correct me if I'm wrong but it sounds like you are considering doing this by land???

You'll find signs with the word "City" on them are there for the benefit of expat and tourism. The Thai part will be written as "ซิตี้", which is not a word in Thai but just City written in a way Thais can read it.

Oh dear. If you move any further left you'll fall off the edge.
