Just because you dislike something, doesn't mean you should ignore the facts.
Twisting things people say does not make them wrong. Ignoring charitable contributions does not mean they don't happen.
You said you would not purchase a colour printer.
My point was, I can't recall the last time I saw a printer that prints only black and white and doesn't print colour.
The government have been trying that. Detention centres, army barracks, barges off the Portland coast, Rwanda.
All blocked or slowed by activists, courts, protesters and lefty opposition.
Hotels but only in name.
It's a form of accommodation. That is all.
It's not as if they are laying on their bed, flicking TV channels and calling room service.
There are other forms of accommodation ready but protesters, human rights activists and court proceedings hold things up.
Whatever. Those I've met with Pink ID cards, used to teach some in BanPhong, Ratchaburi, told me they can stay and work permenantly. Most of them were stateless refugees from Burma.
Anyway, asylum of sorts. Not sent back.
There are many non Thais from neighboring countries who now live and work in Thailand, and can do so permenantly, with pink Thai ID cards because they are either stateless or are discriminated against in their country of birth.
I would say that's a similar system to asylum.
So, in answer to your question. Yes.
You clearly have not been keeping up with the conversation.
As an aside. A migrant arrives on a blow up boat. Their asylum application is processed and approved. They are issued an NI number. They get a job, work, pay NI and tax. They work in healthcare, in a job many Brits think is below them.
Does " not on a blow up boat" still apply?
