UK Thai embassy issues warning amid anti-immigration protests

[snoop1130]

 

The Thai Embassy in London issued a stern warning for all Thais living in or travelling to the UK: steer clear of crowded places and protests. This urgent advice comes as thousands of anti-immigration protesters take to the streets in towns and cities nationwide.

 

Liverpool, Bristol, Manchester, Blackpool, and Belfast have been pinpointed as high-risk areas. The embassy strongly advises heightened caution if travelling to these cities.

 

Reports suggest the unrest could spread even further, heightening the need for vigilance. The embassy urges Thais to stay informed through British news channels and official updates. In case of emergency, they can reach out to the embassy at +44 (0) 7918 651 720 or via email at [email protected].

 

According to the BBC, the violent protests erupted after false rumours spread online. The misinformation alleged that a 17 year old Muslim asylum seeker was responsible for the fatal stabbing of three young girls in Southport on July 29.

 

The unrest has seen mosques and hotels housing asylum seekers come under attack. Shops were burned and looted, causing widespread fear and disruption. Yesterday, August 7, high street shop owners across England took precautionary measures, boarding up windows and closing early to brace for potential violence, reported Thai PBS World.

I came out to Thailand in 2009 and was here for the political disturbances of 2010. I would have never thought that the future in Thailand was going to be so relatively peaceful and that the UK would degenerate into chaos. Or did I.

 

A solution appeared to have been reached here. I feel that a solution in the UK is a long way off if not impossible. Sad times.

Yeah, Labour should rule for the next 20 years and Tories have to be dissolved. Good Times ?🥺

I came to Thailand in 2008, I could see the writing on the wall then... an Island nation that couldn't or wouldn't stop the illegal immigration.. I made the right decision.

What a daft post - you have seen the baht against the falling labour pound ! 47 baht to now just around 45 - and that's before the labour money grab in the next 2 months budget ! Means my monthly budget drops 3,000 baht a month in the last 4 weeks thanks to the red clowns !

 

What's the lowest baht you will accept before screaming for them to leave ?

the solution being prison, being taken away for a quite talk, re-education. If you knew anything you would know the locals have learnt to be very careful in what they say in public and with friends. 14million voters wanted a change and what happen? As for a solution in the UK, the anti-protests against the riots is happening now, not saying all is good in the UK with illegal immigration, the government needs to change a few laws and deport.

I like what happens in Australia, if you break the law and end up in prison then once time is served you get deported back to where you come from, same needs to happen in the UK and no appeals in court.

Time for a change but without the violence of the past weeks as this is not fixing the problem.

The problem with that is that only white people are getting arrested. "Asians" can run around armed with machetes and the police are not interested.

In 2008, there were 7,000 ILLEGAL immigrants entering the UK. 

 

You are telling me you left a country, to become an immigrant yourself someplace else, because 7000 people came into the country illegally (some who claimed asylum). 7000 people wouldn't even cover one stand of a football stadium.

 

You didn't leave because of offshore olligarchs, rising cost of living, inept governments, illegal wars - NO YOU LEFT BECAUSE YOU FELT A POPULATION OF NEARLY 68 MILLION COULD NOT HANDLE 7000 PEOPLE. So you went to a country that lets in 40 MILLION PEOPLE A YEAR .

 

The racism from Brits is astonishing. In my opinion it's down to a massive lack of investment in education of their population, resulting in them holding such rancid views, and being easily manipulated. 

 

They aren't the most desirable of tourists here in Thailand (alot of drunken sex tourists), and around their favourite enclaves of Spain make no effort to assimilate themselves - no learning of their language, loved their Heniz baked beans, etc 

 

Are you referring to legal migration? You know the need for asian doctors, nurses, care home workers, international investors, low rise jobs that the local population won't do, or students that pay 5 times more than local to subside their costs. Which one do you not want? 

 

Maybe the UK should not have called up so many indians to their country after the second world war to help rebuild their country. Furthermore maybe they should told the 2 million indian to stay at home and not help them during world war 2. 

 

Let's call the poster what he is.

Complete racist nonsense. I'm guessing you listen to Farage & co. 

 

If you're not white in England, the police are much more likely to see you as a criminal.  24.5% of "stop and search" subjects  are Black, 10.3% Pakistani, 9.9% mixed race 5.9% White.

PS Do you ever stop to think why someone might want you to focus your anger on an easily identifiable ethnic group?

Only a month or so in and I suspect that this could be a one-term Labour gvt. I don't vote btw on the basis that as a single person with no kids, none of the parties will do anything tangible for me, I just pay taxes.

One of the first things that Labour have done is take pensioners heating allowance off them, and that's something that one would expect the Tories ("The Nasty Party") to do, and certainly not the Labour Party. I think it's a long time since Labour have been the party of the white working classes, for whom they were founded.

With the very large crowds coming out to protest against the people making the riots, it is a very small percentage of Brits who are racist.

Your figure of 7,000 is a bit short, in 2023 alone the government gave a figure of 52,530 irregular migrants entering the UK.

Like most countries around the world, we need immigration, yet there is a very big problem with illegal immigration, this would stop overnight if the government stopped giving out benefits to illegals. The UK like most countries cannot keep supporting and unchecked immigration as it overloads the hospitals, police, schools, housing and general finances of the country. £8million GBP per day is spent just on accommodation for immigrants, if this money could be placed into the NHS or schools, what a difference.

Countries need to build a sound foundation so the country can support it’s people and people wanting to live there.

Just ranting about the negatives is not solving the problem.

I said the writing was on the wall, government policies were changing and I didn't want to be a part of it... or the future of it.

The thing to remember is that the violent protestors are a tiny part of the British population. Also that their were just as many "Refugees welcome" protestors.

On the question of immigration, and as you say, we will always need some, but we currently have 10.3 million foreign-born people in a country of 68 million, which I think is way too many.

I too was a migrant, and worked for 3 years in Australia on a temporary residency visa. When applying for the visa the company that I was going to work for had to show that they had private medical insurance for me. What happens in the UK is that we have many millions entering the country who have the same rights to use the NHS as any Brit does. There are currently 7+ million on NHS waiting lists, and I reckon part of this is due to them having 10+ million more 'customers' than they would've had without mass-immigration.

If legal migrants in the UK were told that they had to get health insurance in order to get a work visa for themselves and their families they might decide to look for work somewhere else instead.

He was referring to the year 2008 when he left as he didn't like illegal immigration. 

 

Even if 50,000 illegal migrants come a year, it's not a massive number. I can guarantee you that more than come through the Thai / Mayanmar porous borders a day.

Lied about the 20b debt deficit (which they knew about prior to the election)

They will have to raise taxes (see above. They promised not to do this in their manifesto, another lie).

No plan to stop uncontrolled illegal immigration. It will be 'normalised' under their watch.

Pie-in-the-sky plans to build 1.5m homes which is impossible (illegal immigrants to be prioritised over natives).

Moving illegal immigrants into small communities and out of holding facilities such as the Bibby Stockholm.

Scrapping the only deterrent to illegal immigration (Rwandan resettlement).

Five weeks into their stint and they have lost control of the inner cities. There are riots and protests on a daily basis. These will continue and possibly get worse.

Pensioners heating allowance removed.

Kangaroo courts operating 24hrs targetting a single demographic of the population.

Two tier policing of indigenous natives and minorities, as demonstrated and now admitted by former Police chiefs.

Labour MPs being arrested for threatening to cut the throats of protestors they disagree with.

Anti-Semitism out of control. 

Rape, knife crime and other crime out of control in minority communities.

Minority gangs roaming the streets armed with machetes, swords and knives unable to be dealt with by the Police.

Arresting people for comments they don't like on social media. 

Threatening to ban social media platforms because they have lost control of the narrative.

Plans to criminalise 'Islamophobia' if anyone criticises the Third-World cult and calls it what it really is.

Well said I amazed and saddened as a Brit to see how racist they are since this all developed, when the news first broke I was saying to myself, please don't let it be Muslim radical that did this, as I knew what would happen, it was not a Muslim but they the Nazi far right thugs still went on the rampage. Uneducated Thugs probably they are the ones on the dole and benefits, draining more resources than any immigrants.

You sound like Starmer, who is busy trying to quash just one group, while ignoring the root causes of a far wider and more historical problem. That one group does have it's bad elements but other groups do too. Now Starmer is just compounding the wider problem, which is typical of the last few PM's in the UK.
