No matter how big you make the attachment, nobody in UK cares. The country has much bigger issues than the Baht exchange rate. some people are lapping it up and making money with it. 

I was under the impression this website was called Thai Visa and primarily consisted of people connected to Thailand.

Now if you're saying Sharon from Sheffield and George from Guildford are regular contributors then I must change my tune.

Website may be Thai centric, but the topic is Brexit therefore anything to do with Thai Baht is inconsequential. What ever tune you whistle Sharon and George are not interested.

Logic please.

 

The forum is Thai Visa, so mainly aimed at falang immigrants to Thailand. 

The value of the Pound against the Bhat is of great importance to many here.

The topic is Brexit.

Brexit from what everybody says has been a major factor in the decreased value of sterling (The strength of the Bhat has affected currencies as well of course, but the £ has fallen further and faster).

 

Let's put that together. 

1) Anything to do with Thai Baht is NOT inconsequential, to anyone who actually lives here. 

2) It IS part of the Brexit story, like it or not.

Brexit is happening. Brexit is the best thing to happen in the UK for decades. Whatever that does to the exchange rate with Thai Baht is inconsequential to the UK, like that or not.

So now we get down it, a handful of expats in Thailand are persistently slating Boris on Tvisa, because he has the audacity to take on the EU fighting for a good deal for the UK, fired up because via the exchange rate Boris has inadvertently cut their disposable income in Thailand. A consequence of little or no concern for the vast majority of the British electorate

The tanking of sterling vs baht since brexit not consequential enough for you?

This BREXIT thread. Why would that concern an Oztralyan who says they would benefit from Brexit? Are you existing in Thailand on a GBP pension or just here for the argument?

Oh Fritzy. A cause-effect-relationship doesn’t change because you like the cause (or what you believe other effects of it could be). But then I’m not surprised about the absence of logical thinking skills as we are dealing with brexiteers. Are they still pulling out the trade deficit numbers to show why the EU needs the UK more? 🤭

This is a great Brexit thread - a totally off piste Spacearyan  and an ex-earls court barman, both arguing from the sides about something. Nobody's quite sure what about, but still arguing.

You must have been 'the British taxpayer' to have achieved this, which is all the more surprising given you never have anything good to say about UK, & dare I wonder if you're leaving the plight of the consortium fighting for that pension to everyone else too?

paradoxically a lot of these " handfull of ex pats " could be forced to leave los with their wordly goods in a carrier bag back to blighty and expecting the state to look after them.

Forget the bhat, as despite this being Thai Visa, it is clear that some of you care sod all about people living here. For those who don't live here (Not you geo necessarily)  I am puzzled why you bother, you could try the Breibart/Cummings forum, or something similar where they will love every word you write. 

 

The issue is a general currency point anyway

"The British Pound plumbed a fresh three-month low against the Euro and a one-month low against the U.S. Dollar as investors withdrew capital from a country facing the dual prospects of a slow economic rebound from the coronacrisis and sub-par Brexit trade deal at year-end. 

While UK deaths and infections from covid-19 continue to fall, the pace of the economic recovery looks set to be slower than that in other developed markets, with the European Council's latest Economic Sentiment Indicator showing the country's rebound lags that of its European peers. Meanwhile, there are concerns that fiscal and monetary policy support to the crisis in the UK also lags that of the measures taken in the Eurozone and U.S., which could make the UK economy a laggard over coming months."

I would be grateful if I were you that you think your food costs much the same, I doubt it will last. 

 

What ever else you can say about it, it is obvious to all the serious money men that economically at very least, Brexit is a crock of (Deleted). You can tie pink bows round it, and cover it with perfume, you can delude yourselves as much as you like, you can pretend that everything will be wonderful, please go ahead. The bottom line is we will all have to pay for this mind numbing idiocy one day. Enjoy the fading rays of evening sunshine, and pretend that it's a bright new day starting instead. I no longer care, but it doesn't take a genius to see that it will be a long, long night.

Who are you to speak for Sharon and George? They may be planning a longed for holiday on a Thai beach before too long, George may even be sending money to his honey in LOS. 

Now he'll have to work even harder ( presuming he has a job, because of the pound's decline.

I’m happy to speak for George and Sharon because you were not, you were all about yourself. If they are ‘quality tourists’ it’s still up to them if they spend in Thailand or the UK. The low budgets, may have to go to Benidorm. 

The other George could find it’s a case of less money - no more honey. Unless there’s a slim chance of honey finding an additional income stream?

Either way, inconsequential for UKs Brexit.

This is your only hope: the EU 'tears itself apart'. 

But the countries in the EU know there is safety and strength acting as a bloc, clout.

How Russia, China and the US must be chortling at the UK's exit.

'We've split them! Now let's try to pick off the remaining countries. They won't stand a chance in negotiating bilateral agreements with us.'

It riles you, doesn't it? The pound falling against other currencies. 

If Brexit is so great, surely it should be rising, showing investor confidence? 

But it ain't.

If thats a problem, maybe you could disappear off up your own safe space. Why not try some Cancelling?

I’m not knocking the UK. I rather like the place. I had residency there but that has long gone.
 

I knock policies. But I’m not so parochial like you blokes that you can’t separate a policy critique from a insult on your country. 
 

As for being a tax payer, yes once upon a time. Then I left and discovered class 3 NI contributions. If you know what they are then you’ll understand my thanking the British tax payer. 
 

As for the pensions consortium- yes, what the UK government has done is a travesty.
