From Gov.UK website regarding travel advice for Lao: "The Lao government prohibits sexual relationships between foreign and Lao nationals, except when the two parties have been married in accordance with Lao family law. Permission for marriage or engagement to a Lao national must be submitted in a formal application to the Lao authorities. Penalties for engaging in prohibited sexual contact or failing to register a relationship range from US$500 to US$5,000 and may involve imprisonment. It is not unknown for Lao authorities to demand entry into hotel rooms or guesthouses where they suspect this regulation is being broken."

There you go then. It is they that did not report it or suppressed any announcement for security purposes.

No. I have always maintained Johnson reported it. I have never suggested he did so publicly.

I have never implied what you suggest. I pointed out that certain groups of the media have known about it for some time. Hence the documentary. I also pointed out it is, therefore, the media you should be questioning for not reporting it sooner.

The story was realeased about 8 hours ago. That seems to be the average on Google. When he first reported to the media is something I don't know but long enough ago for a documentary to be filmed.

Oh dear. I've tried to explain. You are obviously having an off day.

Need I say no more. ????????????

Well. The report is in a BBC documentary that has already been filmed. They must have known about it at time of filming or else it would not have been included in said documentary. I believe it is the BBC you should be questioning.

The article is promoting a BBC documentary. How long does it take to film, narrate, edit and broadcast a documentary? I don't know. However, it is quite clear that Johbson reported the threat some time ago.

You can withdraw what you like, so long as you maintain the required amounts in the bank.

Chong Chom/Osamach is no problem.

That's for OA. The topic is about O.

Please stop using the word "visa" when you are talking about extension of stay. It makes reading you posts confusing.

You could, maybe should, replace "rich" with "successful" or maybe just not say it at all. The Persian in particular. Came to UK with nothing. Built businesses and made money. A clever man. Not so good at tax returns though. ????????

This is the pick of the posts so far today. If this occurance creates enough stimuli in you to use the word "enjoy" I sympathise.

Having read the whole topic I have to agree. The OP did not mention children. However, someone else asked the question. On topics like this, where the OP clearly lacks knowledge with regards to immigration rules, I think it is a good idea to ask further questions of the OP in order to possibly throw additional options into the mix.

Politics. Makes you laugh. A minister makes a video, a speech or takes part in an interview. Opposition ministers trawl through said video/speech/ interview for things that could be inaccurate, things they disagree with or things they think they can make an issue of. If there is nothing meeting those agendas, they look for something else. Can't find anything to have a go at so grass about not wearing a seat belt. Just like kids in the playground.

You still don't explain how you know they are immigrants. Language depicts heritage. Maybe a history of living in other countries or being a mixed race child. Not nationality or immigration status.

You say "see dozens". How do you know these people are immigrants just by looking at them?

Brine for an hour or two before smoking Problem solved.

Not to mention India. I travelled to the "quiet" town of Kochi, Karela. 10 times worse than London.

The decision to offer IHS refunds to those working in health care springs to mind.

I would think any changes to procedures for those seeking to stay legally would be in favour of the applicant.

@Elkski Did you not brine the meat first? Even a short brine, an hour or so, makes the smoking process so much better.

He has a reputation. There us no doubt about that. However, it seems some people use that reputation to make up their minds that everything he does, says or thinks is bad. He certainly backs British farmers and has become a bit of a flag bearer for them. Sadly, he is Marmite and the haters appear to have won, in this case.
