And again if he is Irish then what is the Irish law on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gecko123 Posted July 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) The government thinks their immigration policy is all upside, but it's not. This guy's Thai wife and kids who could well be left behind, the Thai wife of that Japanese guy who got deported likely left behind, the kids whose education is disrupted because their foreign teacher got arrested, the farmers struggling to find farm labor because immigrant labor has been deported. Make no mistake, Thailand's social fabric and economy is taking a hit from immigration policy too. Edited July 16, 2019 by Gecko123 6 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post cornishcarlos Posted July 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2019 Good on him... Made the decision not to jump through the hoops to be able to stay with his family. Probably knew the risks and decided they were out weighed by the benefits. There are probably quite a few flying under the radar... 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post boonrawdcnx Posted July 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2019 It is not just the overstay, how has he financed himself? was he illegally working? paid his taxes? Certainly must been a drain on society if he can not find £1,000 without resorting to "Go Fund Me" Nether mind he can claim benefits when he gets back to Somerset and even more if he brings his kids back with him.Stop spreading the Thai right wing propaganda that foreigners are becoming a problem for Thai “society”!It is a tiny percentage and even the worst of Farangs living here could never be as much a “drain on society “ here than all the corrupt government employees one encounters here every day who are robbing their country of our hard earned tax money every single day of the year!And again they are still small fish when compared to the corrupt scoundrels running this country and those who are supposed to uphold and enforce the law.Why do we never read about them in the news here ? Why don’t we ever see any pictures with police posting with those real crooks? But instead we are getting stories of some poor chaps who have never done any harm to anybody and the “crimes” they commit are blown totally out of proportion - and then the crowd on here has nothing better to do than joining the xenophobic right wing garbage that is robbing this country since one can think - in shouting “burn the witch” !

dabhand Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 The 'Irish' reference may have simply come from someone misunderstanding what is noted on his UK passport. The UK passport notes 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland'. Have seen a few cases in the past where this has been picked up as the person being from Northern Ireland or, possibly in this case, being considered as Irish. A copy of his passport will probably surface at some point - as usually happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post brucegoniners Posted July 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2019 First off, I'm sorry about the man losing his parents, but 4192 days? That's 11.5 years. There is no excuse for shirking your responsibility to stay here legally. The rest of us go through the trouble. He should too. A go fund me page? For what? He needs to be deported. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
