US Declares Refugee Emergency for White South Africans

Well done America. The persecution of whites in South Africa is disgusting and the msm needs to stop ignoring it because it doesnt fit their "white man bad, black man good" narrative.

New EU Rules Could Give Thai Travellers Longer Schengen Visas

Really bad timing after curtailing the numbers of potential expats by denying snowbirds the ability to avoid Western winters. You are killing the golden goose.

Centrelink Age Pension Supplement-rule change

Thu, 21 May 2026 01:08:50 +0000

I think that’s probably spot on, especially for people living far from Australia where regular trips back just aren’t practical or affordable. Extending it from 6 to 12 weeks softens the optics a bit while still likely reducing long-term payments overall. But as already pointed out on here, for those of us living relatively close by in Asia, the new timeframe actually makes the “come and go” option far more realistic than it used to be. As I’ve already mentioned in this thread, going back 4 times a year could equate to roughly a $2,600 gain annually, plus the bonus of catching up with family and mates while restocking easy-to-carry essentials like decent cheese, chocolate and other things that are either expensive or hard to get locally.

British Ex-Soldier in Russian Jail Says He Feels Abandoned

Thu, 21 May 2026 01:06:00 +0000

Spain sent huge numbers of troops to fight in Russia. I have already explained to you he was not a mercernary. He joined the Ukrainian Army, not an unofficial militia. Many men in the American forces are not citizens. They are also not mercenaries. For someone who apparently is a bit of a barrackroom lawyer, you don't know the law so well. The Geneva Convention defines what a mercenary is. Under Protocol 1 of the 1977 Geneva Conventions, a "mercenary" is strictly defined as someone who is not a member of the armed forces of a party to the conflict. It makes no difference why he was there. All sorts of things motivate Gurkhas, Irishmen, Fijians, Jamaicans, Zimbabweans etc to join the British Army. It might be for the money, it might be for a cause, it might be for the adventure (the same reasons those who went to Spain). The first Irishman to die in Iraq was Cpl Ian Malone of the Irish Guards. Maybe not that remarkable, except this Dubliner, a few years earlier, was one of the pallbearers at the Queen Mother's funeral. What was remarkable was he came from a staunchly Republican family. Interviewed in 2002, by RTE, remarked; Those International Forces in Spain though were never members of the Spanish army. It is interesting you decided to bring the Spanish Civil War into this; it seems you are belittling Ukraine, and dismissing this as just a Civil War (undermining Ukraine's right to existance). You say you find no evidence that Franco ever persecuted the Jews in Spain. Well you probably didn't look that hard, as you were lining up the Russian invasion of Ukraine as some sort of intervention in a civil war (presumably because you believe the crap about the Ukrainian government being Nazis). Franco banned Jewish religious services. That's called persecution, you tankie idiot. Jewish refugees without onward visas were put in concentration camps and brutalised. Thats persecution. Franco allowed the Gestapo to move into Spain, and not only seize German Jews in Spain, but lead Spanish police raids on Synagogues. That's persecution. Franco had a policy of not recognising Sephardic Jews, abandoning them to the Death Camps. That's persecution. Spanish policy softened in 1944, when it was clear the Nazis were losing, and they appear to have fooled you. https://www.thejc.com/opinion/far-from-helping-jews-francos-regime-was-implacably-hostile-dkjhip23 The speculation about who the Briton was stops the moment he signed the recruiter's contract, and came under the jurisdiction of Ukrainian military code. There is nothing to "think differently" about. Those who do that are attempting to deflect from blaming Russia, and are apologists for the Moscow regime. The colour of the flag might have changed, but you apparently remain a loyal servant. Sod you. My Grandfather was a POW of Japan. The Japanese government didn't even tell anyone he was still alive until 1944. They pocketed the Red Cross parcels sent to Tokyo. The British government then, as now, did what they could. You are so pro-Russian, you are trying to blame the British government, based off a tabloid report, for the conditions the Russians hold this man in. You didn't watch the interview. The man complained that in the army he had "mental issues" and so turned to drugs. And no, not because of PTSD, because he complained he wanted to go to these places, but they wouldn't trust him with a weapon as apparently he was so up. Yeah, you are a pathetic character if you have to resort to a chemical cosh to get through life. 50% of cannabis users use cannabis to self medicate. 25% of those with a severe mental disorder also have CUD. You no doubt will champion drug use. If you are a druggie, you think there is nothing wrong with drugs. That is to be expected. I do not use drugs, I take an opposite view. I'm not stoned half the time, so I am confident about my judgement. Thats for another place to debate. You are a mad old if you think its ok to trust druggies with a SA80, Gimpy, a pocket full of grenades or whatnot. The British Army is not the only employer to have a zero tolerance of drugs due to safety. You've never served your country. You ran away. I knew a bloke in Tennessee from that generation. He went on to become a nuclear plant inspector, until he turned whistleblower. He was opposed to the Vietnam War, but he was particularly dismissive of those who ran away. He explained that a lot of those men who ran off were in no danger of a call up, due to their lottery number. If you had a high number, there was little danger of being called up.. He had a low number, so he did the sensible thing, signed up as a regular in the Air Force, did a few years in Germany, nowhere near a war, pushing a pen.

Long term expats who can't afford to move home?

I can't see that this issue would ever arise. If you can't afford to live in Thailand/Philippines then you certainly can't afford to live back home. So why go back?

Just watched the Bryan May interview above. Seems like that charity might be trying to set up bar owners by planting underage girls with fake IDs ??? Couldn't quite catch what he meant by "bar owners being set up". It's possible the charity is corrupt because the more sex trafficking they report, the more funding they can get. Not sure. Bryan hasn't been charged with anything and is still running his bar and has not fleed from Thailand. Maybe some of the people Andrew was reporting on were guilty, but others it was false allegations.

I have always enjoyed working, and I still do. But now it is not only for the money. Right now, we are about breaking even when looking at the real cost of living, running costs, and paying off the investment. But when that is said, we are not really running it mainly to make money at the moment. We are building a solid base and foundation. If we have to make it more profitable later, at least we have something real to build on.

Thailand Eyes Higher Tourist Tax for Foreign Visitors

Thu, 21 May 2026 00:56:13 +0000

Well other countries have innovative ways to collect from tourists. Last time I entered S. Korea charges a fee for the ETA. It came to about $9 dollars after conversion. Last time I checked millions are still coming to S. Korea. It just seems like the Thai government does not like to explore other ways to collect fees or revenue. "why reinvent the wheel", look at what other countries are doing in terms of tourism and consider using their methods.
