What education have you brought to Thailand, what job did you have waiting for you, how are you a credit to and enhancing Thailand?Suppose that I am a lucky expat seeing out my days over here.Obviously a retiree..nice house..car..no debt..few quid in bank..4 weekly pittance from UK pension and small private pension.Suppose I enhance my local area of Issan by shopping/eating out sometimes..paying for tv package..internet..2 mobile phones..etc etcAND NO CRIMINAL RECORD WHATSOEVERHope your question is answeredAlso in my own way..helping local Thai ClinicSent from my SM-G7102 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraudulent, corrupt, self-serving - those adjectives are perfect for describing the people to whom we have unwittingly handed control of our country. Yeah and I wonder how many people on this forum think that the same government they so badly wanted to have complete control again now think that they are capable of staging a chemicals weapon attack in their own country.And they still think they are better?Surely if you believe that nonsense then the last thing you want is them to have complete control of Our laws again.Only people with complete Tunnel Vision and believe in Brexit no matter WHAT would want a Government who they ( wrongly) thought was capable of such a despicable Act and would still say no to a Second referendum.Plus the fact that Boris the leader of the leave Campaign wrote two columns for the Telegraph one to remain one to leave just shows he is only in it for his self.Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juice777 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Yes we shall Teddy old chap, we'll wait and see what Brexit turns out to be and who it is who loses out. And then I'll be back to remind you of your many posts on the matter. They will just blame it on the poor deal the weak UK government (the same one they put there trust in and we all know can't be trusted) negotiated for us.They are already geting that excuse ready to save face and divert the Blame.Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're bang on the nail there. He was never a committed Brexiteer, he just jumped on the band wagon. And half hearted Theresa May should quit and hand over to someone who is sincere about Brexit such as Rees - Mogg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post juice777 Posted April 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2018 Lets have some examples of our laws that do not have the approval of the EU.Well two we had complete control of but we chose to go with anyway and we could have changed at any time. Red Passports absolutely hilarious when I found that out. And allowing European immigrants to remain in the country after 3 months without capital or a Job.We could have moved them on Under EU regulations.

Chomper likes to exaggerate sometimes.The true number is more like 14%, if the reference currency is Sterling. It is not all down to Brexit. The baht is favoured by foreign confidence and investment and has gained 11% against the dollar over the same period, with the dollar weakening at the same time. The pound is stronger now against the dollar than it was just before the referendum. The baht has appreciated against most currencies over the same period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fact widely discussed at the time.Agreed, the FTSE 100 is a not a true reading of GDP, however the 250 is. IiRc currency flucuation averaging £1-$1.42 & the £1-€1.15, interesting the remainers are also rather muted in reference to lowest UK employment in 40+ yrs. Ongoing Overseas investment, even French PSA (Vauxhall/Opel) decide to invest in a new model in Luton, although Jaguar land rover not extending/renewing 1000 temporary contracts. Lastly, I'm not staunch Tory supporter however thank heavens that protest politician Jeremy Corbyn isn't in Office, the UK would be FUBAR'D.

Huge waste of energy. LEDs are 12 times more efficient and improving! Compact fluorescents were a stop gap measure. Vacuum cleaners were in a power arms race for no good reason. Just clean the bloody things! Again, this all just common sense. Morons need to be compelled to be sensible by law. Be grateful for these EU laws.
