 If you can't afford to support yourself and family then don't have children. 

 

Let’s examine this a moment.

 

So a couple with good well paying jobs have two children, they are earning good money and don’t need welfare.

 

Then along comes a recession and they both lose their jobs and can’t find work that pays their bills, they take the work they can find, but what shall they do with the children they can no long wet afford?

 

Send them to an orphanage, petition for the reintroduction of workhouses, or simply toss them out on the street?

 

People’s personal situation frequently changes, in the UK’s economy that has over the past 40 years created the precariat, constantly moving in and out of poverty is a certainty of life.

I've never kept any slaves, I'm not American.

Why should I accept any blame for something I didn't do in a country I've never lived?

Nobody is asking you to accept blame.

 

You might though pause to examine how much of the wealth of the UK was created by slavery.

 

You might even spend a moment to think about the slavery that exists now in the UK, and elsewhere.

Not necessarily true when the housing benefit paid out goes to an overseas landlord. 

 

A result of the UK’s housing policy, nothing to do with how and why welfare works the way it does.

I believe it's currently called 'marriage' (rather than slavery) in the UK.

You work, and she get's everything both during and for the next 19 years if you manage to escape.

Certainly the people I keep company with lead happy lives in Thailand. We all know how much better it is for us than being in the UK. 

 

How many here would prefer to be in the UK? 

 

I think you’ll find most expats take a balanced view, seeing positives and negatives.

The only negative in Thailand (for me) is immigration.

Took me 2hrs last week to get my 1 year extension, so not all that much of a negative!

UK ended it's involvement in the slave trade over 220 years ago and slavery in the colonies almost 200. The Navy spent 60 years patrolling the W coast of Africa stopping slave ships and freeing over 100k slaves. The British history of slavery is something to be proud of. While slavery still goes on in Africa I am not aware of them being bought and sold in the UK

I’m not sure you have a grasp of Britain’s history on slavery.

 

Slavery exists in the UK today and now.

No!  Just from my observations of real life in the UK.

Sure Britain is broken, probably beyond repair, Its slowly sinking just like the Titanic.  It really should not be accepting any more passengers and should have started evacuation procedures a long time ago.  Convicted foreign criminals should be put at the front of the queue and then a last in 1st out system implemented until we have lost enough excess ballast.  That works for me , I don't care what the UK hating lefties think,

Yes, ok, thanks for informing us of the history.

 

But what's your point?

There's never been a more entitled and privileged time in UK history, probably.

 

Well, you could say they had it better in the 70s, 80s, and 90s regarding the economy n stuff, but still...

During my summer visit to the UK this year I frequently took advantage of a pint at pubs, the weather being  fabulous I enjoyed my pints outside (an English summer tradition I hear).

 

I wonder how many people passing thought, look at that welfare scrounger?

Exactly, and we should be thankful Thailand has a sensible immigration policy protecting its country, culture, and citizens.

An excellent example of what passes for considered thought.

 

You are being shafted by people in power and you waste your time with that nonsense.

Thailand ’s economy is propped up by immigrants, many undocumented, it’s borders porous to those who need cheap Labour from neighboring countries.

Can't see much wrong with that.

 

Are they sitting in a nice free house with their family of eight raking in more social security money than the householders could possibly earn with their skills?

 

Naw, they aren't. They are working and supporting themselves. It's mutually beneficial to Thailand as well as the migrants.

Exactly, this is the elephant in the room that the extreme lefties are trying to ignore. ????

 

We are self sufficient, not bleeding the country dry. ????

Again, a gross generalization.

 

Immigrants are not bleeding the UK dry.

 

Tgey do however make a very convenient scapegoat and diversion from the UK’s myriad homegrown problems.

First off,  thank goodness.

"British ships also carried upwards of 3 million Africans forcefully removed from the continent, mostly to the Caribbean, the United States and the Guyanas. French ships carried 1.3 million enslaved Africans."

 

"I left the UK because the police were after me!"

 

Did you properly notify the authorities of your criminal past prior to taking on a teaching position in Thailand?

Al least I am being shafted by my own , Future shaftings will be far worse 

You may be happy at the demise of British culture , you will no doubt be delighted when the Uk. is completely overrun with illegal immigrants, I can only imagine your delight when we eventually end up with a muslim prime minister and a majority muslim government. Sharia law will be a natural  progression . Christianity will become illegal, and then your cup of happiness will be full to overflowing.

 But it will be short lived,  your lefty socialist values and  desire for a multicultural society are not shared  by the "religion of tolerance and peace" and will not be entertained by these people that you are so keen to support.  They don't seek to integrate that is not their long term aim. Nothing less than total annihilation of western culture will satisfy their bloodlust. Oh I just noticed your avatar ! well you can forget about "wigan casino" northern soul  and all music for that matter will be banned except for the wailings coming from the local mosque

Come the (islamic) revolution you and your guardian reading comrades  will be blindfolded prior to decapitation along with the rest of us. In fact they would probably come for you first as nobody, even the enemy , respects a traitor
