What about the above?

It's not quite as simple as all that though, is it? There were too many MPs not doing their job. MPs are supposed to represent their constituents. Too many voted on Brexit matters according to their own views. Hence delays in deals and decisions. That was a major issue.

You referred to your wife not receiving 700 baht Thai pension. There is no requirement to have paid in to get out. The rate for hospital visit is 30 baht. That's what I pay. If I go to the local " Anamai" clinic it's free. How old is your child now? I know of a couple of guys who received child benefits from both UK and Thailand. Personally I did not as, like you, I was unaware that I could claim.

Why does your wife not receive any pension? Child allowance from both countries would have been available. Have a word with your hospital. I have never paid more than Thais would.

It's great the way you only blame publications that go against your views. For full effect and an opinion more people will agree with, try using the media in general in your posts.

I would need to see evidence about the "entire" motor industry before i could comment. Thanks.

I'd be interested to see a link to see what the "entire" motor industry said. I guess you can't find one due to gross over exaggeration.

We could mention SNP but that might take us off topic. ????????????

You quoted my post.

Oh dear. What exactly does that have to do with my post, regarding Remainers?

Had there been, Remainers would have been up in arms about the prospect of people trying to overturn the democracy of a one and only referendum. Shame they can't think that way now.

There have always been poor people. There have always been businesses closing down. Industry took a massive hit during lockdowns and is still recovering. The world economy is still recovering. All of the above is true in countries the world over. You must have forgotten that. Or just ignored it to suit yourself.

I'm very busy thanks. Far too busy to write fictional essays on here. By the way, I quoted your post not my own.

Really? Is that why all major economies around the world are suffering?

Seems to have rubbed off on you.

I agree. There are over 300000 monks in Thailand. The stories of crooked ones here and in the past equate to less than 1%.

You are not blacklisted. You just can't get another waiver. You can work in Universities, language centres and any school which is not governed by OBEC.

Becoming a monk because of financial reasons, remember they are part of the community and considered as working, does not make them thieves.

There are over 30000 even small temple will have about 10 monks. Let's say there are 300000+ monks in temples in Thailand. How many stories have you heard in the "so many" you suggest? I would think the percentage of bad monks would fall in line with bad people in every profession and in life in general. It's a shame. The 1% spoiling things for the others. All getting tarred with the same brush by posters on here. Yet, when there's a story about a dodgy expat and the Thais tar us with the same brush there is outrage.

Also created a pleasant situation for those who have the ability to control their finances and save. They are voters too. Along with those happy to see interest rates rise to stall the housing market rises.

If interest rates were, say, 8% I would agree it would be unreasonable to plan for a 75% increase. I know. I had a mortgage when rates increased 5% in a day. However, when base rates are 1% it is not unreasonable. Think of it as points increase. To plan for a 3% rise in base rates should always be in people's plans. It certainly has always been in mine and the lenders I have borrowed from. To me it's sensible planning for the future. Something I have always done. Perhaps that's one of the reasons I was fully paid up and mortgage free by the time I was 53.

Average 7.41%? I've just done a quick search and the highest was 6.3%. The average obviously being lower.

Look at which post I quoted.

I don't recall hearing any stories or quotes from voters blaming Liz Truss or interest rates directly for there voting choices. As for preparing for interest rate rises, there is always small print on applications warning " interest rates may go up aswell as down".

Indeed, Truss messed up. However, increased interest rates are not a bad thing. They had been far too low for too long. Most sensible people plan for rises when they take out a mortgage. It's common sense to do so. There's no helping people with no common sense.
