Is This Why The Brits Are Leaving The Uk For Thailand?

[Jing-jo]

Maybe this has something to do with it?

Not a racist call just a government screw up of the biggest order :D

this is the british government giving away passports money housing benefits to one and all from all over the world

But NOT if you are a Brit with no kids no convictions no medical problems and more than £15K in assets

you cant have a penny!!

But if you are an ethnic minority( is that not the Brits here now?) you can have everything even draw child benefit for your sprogs back in Warsaw (for example!)

ARGH!

Don't you mean don't rely on Thai social services when you get there?

You swing and miss.

Thailand gains revenue by me being here. The net-effect is a gain for the country. Probably the same for many others.

The article is about the opposite taking place in the UK.

Exactly. I am so glad I made the decision to get over here when I did.

Blair and his cronies have a lot to answer for

Brits have been leaving the UK and living elsewhere since the dawn of time. It's their nature. And they're horny bastards, so Thailand is a natural.

I have to admit, some of the deciding factors that drew me to Thailand were the free housing, healthcare and allowence while i was 'seeking employment'.

Not really Thailand related. Closed.
