seeking asylum is legal. Asylum seekers must be in the U.S. or at a port of entry (an airport or an official land crossing) to request the opportunity to apply for asylum. "There’s no way to ask for a visa or any type of authorization in advance for the purpose of seeking asylum,” says Byrne. “You just have to show up.” https://www.rescue.org/article/it-legal-cross-us-border-seek-asylum

A reality check.... U.S. Ambassador to Israel Jack Lew told Israeli Channel 12 News that "It's a mistake to think that anything has fundamentally changed in the relationship" between the two countries, and that Israel's recent actions in Rafah haven't "crossed over into the area where our disagreements lie." He added that the U.S. "concluded in the national security memorandum review that there will be no interruption in U.S. aid for Israel … You look at that in the context of one shipment of heavy bombs, you have to look at it in the broader context."

what was the device?

Burgum - another trump advocate who seeks war with Iran as well as making idiotic Biden foreign policy blame game commentary. He should take up blame game for negotiating with terrorists e.g. trump and Taliban

HMG, along with other Western democracies, as a first step, need to tighten free speech laws, Social Media platforms which are being manipulated for extremist messaging such as far right, Islamist etc. As an example, Eva_Vlaardingerbroek, posted above who espouses conspiracy hate speech, as an example such as "Great Replacement, an ideology which has incited some to mass murder innocent Muslims and leftists in Western democracies and lesser crimes. Islamist preachers to be deported (held on remand during proceedings)as happens in France. Stricker evaluation of asylum seeker application with relevant funding for additional resources and speed up government to government negotiation for deporting rejected persons to their home country. All non citizens who have been convicted to prison, e.g. one year, to be deported after completion of sentence with no appeal.

Is the OP not normal political activity in the US; just a form of lobbying or is it illegal?

OP: Don’t forget, no licence, no insurance. If you were to have an accident causing injury you would be in a world of financial pain

You will find the large majority of England and Welsh residents do not wish for generally armed police (militarisation of police).Scotland and NI have separate police forces. Compared to the USA, we have an extremely low rate of homicide and killing of police, killings by police, by ratio of population. Armed police are relatively rare in the UK. Just 4% of the 142,526 officers in England and Wales are armed (compared to all 708,000 in the US). In England and Wales only 6,677 officers are authorised to carry firearms. Of these, 2,500 are in the Met, Britain’s largest police service. https://theconversation.com/the-uk-has-relatively-few-armed-police-but-their-specialist-squads-are-hotbeds-of-warrior-culture-214311#:~:text=of their own.-,Armed police are relatively rare in the UK.,Met%2C Britain's largest police service.

Very rare that the claims you mention are proven as fact; mostly unsupported far right BS. However, the 300 plus children in the survey by Criminal Research Institute of Lower Saxony, if proven, demonstrates the failure of the German authorities to provide integration and educational services for the children and their parents who come from very dysfunctional societies of war torn Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq and so on. In addition weak, slow and piecemeal enaction of legislation by Western governments to crack down on Social Media platforms distributing extremist propaganda of all kinds should be rectified as a matter of urgency.

You may believe so, but data from HMG proves otherwise

OK. Off Topic, but may be interesting to some.... https://community.ato.gov.au/s/question/a0J9s000000O2y4/p00197245

I believe you're misinformed. Oz Age Pension is payable in full, according to compliance criteria, whilst living in Thailand.

Immigrants from outside the EU countries made a net fiscal contribution of about £5.2 billion, thus paying into the system about 3% more than they took out. In contrast, over the same period, natives made an overall negative fiscal contribution of £616.5 billion. https://www.ucl.ac.uk/economics/about-department/fiscal-effects-immigration-uk#:~:text=Immigrants from outside the EU,contribution of £616.5 billion.

Our son or mine to sell if he doesn't wish to live in Thailand

The issues referenced in the OP have been ongoing for years yet Thai government keeps carrying on attracting ever more tourists without the improvements to the infrastructure required. Improvements that are made undergo repeated repair and maintenance - one can only assume due to issues created by the endemic corruption. I have a house in Pattaya (in my wife's name) which we keep maintained in order she has a place to live near her family after I die. It's the only reason we regularly return to Pattaya as the traffic is appalling. I have to admit some of the environment has improved somewhat, such as beach cleanliness, over the years, but yet...

I was prescribed the drug for lower back pain caused by spinal stenosis. Stopped taking the drug due to concerns of dependence and mental health harm. Now take 10mg a day of Amitriptyline which is reasonably effective.

Numerous political leaders and Western commentators have criticised Netanyahu and his far right choices for Cabinet; they do not equate to "Hamas apologists", nor does the member.

Personally I don't know how unarmed UNRWA can stop / refuse Hamas operations within their infrastructure. As we know change management is a top down initiated process. Accordingly UNRWA will require significant resources to manage cultural change as well as security provided by UN members which would need to be agreed by the Security Council. So far as I'm aware there is no third party organisation with sufficient human resources, together with acceptance by the Gazan population, to replace UNRWA. How will Hamas be leveraged from power as killing will not cease the ideology, plus one assumes the killing of civilians will leave a long collective memory of resentment against Israel and the West. A very long road ahead, perhaps decades for change management, finance and to re-build Gaza.

Usual cruel / moronic posts in this subject. An attempt to copy the Australia 'stop the boats' policy which cost a fortune per asylum seeker, the majority of whom were found to be legitimate and eventually resettled. One of the primary holding countries, PNG, eventually ruled via their Supreme Court the agreement was in fact contrary to international law. HMG appear to have gone totally over the top with wishing to enact law that deportees will be permanently relocated to Rwanda. Australian forced resettlement met with hostility in the recipient countries and deemed a failure. The core issue is UN member countries refuse to accept and fund sufficient numbers thereby some countries currently housing refugees for twenty plus years e.g. Myanmar, Pakistan, Iran etc etc Often without access to education, sufficient healthcare and so on. A cruel world indeed which will please some members.

Although Off Topic I dispute your claim Ukraine is a proxy of the US in it's fight against Russia. You seem to ignore Russia invaded Ukraine without justification.

No surprise, long been forecast West Bank will erupt again after 50 years of occupation with no resolution in sight. I guess the Palestinian proxies will suffer major loss on life if or should I say, when, major escalation occurs. However, one assumes it will suit the current Israeli government land grab / Settler goals.

Nope. Was putting into context as other groups also commit horrendous crime.

Thanks everyone. My reason for asking was that we had a water bill for 1,500 baht after being way for a few years. However, we did have the house walls cleaned with high pressure water house, some concrete mixing and so on. I'll see what happens with next bill.

You well know that if you object to a post, report it, don't make personal attacks.

Not Islam spiritually practised, but the Salafi Islamists. Plus of course those claiming to be followers of Islam, but in fact are criminals e.g. rapist's.
