Sounds like he is doing a runner, from life, knee jerk reaction or whatever. Sold up and moving out. Well, cash does have a way of running out. I hope he has a pension to fall back on. He says he is going to work in an orphanage. Got a company? Got a work permit? Sounds a bit iffy.

Give the bloke a break! What were your own circumstances prior to arrival?

I stayed out of trouble, saved and invested conservatively. He is showing all the signs of heading to LOS and shortly he will be on the ropes again. Nothing against taking a break to sort things out. But unless he has a lot and a lot cash, he is probably going to be dissappointed when his money starts to run out and his lovely wife moves on

I read the referenced article links. Goodness, the guy hasn't done any work nor attended any meetings. If he shows up once in the next 6 months he could still collect some money? Sorry, but the whole thing is suspect.

How much do you consider to be a lot and a lot of cash?

Give the bloke a break,any one whose ever been to the isle of Thanet can sympathise with him.

Oi, I come from Broadstairs, it's not all bad on Planet Fanet ! rolleyes.gif

There was actually quite a Thai-Farang community there, in our day, the usual mixed bunch (as are all humanity, wherever we come from).

I suspect that it helps, if one's Thai-wife has actually lived with us in the UK, and seen that the streets are not paved with gold !

And if he could run a profitable business, in modern-day Britain, then he's got to have some nous, innit ? laugh.png

Blimey. I was elected to sit on the Borough Council for 4 years. However, to refer to me as a 'politician' is a bit rich.

When I went to this story I was expecting an ex Secretary of State or something thumbsup.gif

it didnt click at first, but i had a vague recollection of a bit of a fuss last year over a senior UKIP politician referring to another UKIP member as being married to some 'ting tong" http://www.kentonline.co.uk/thanet/news/couple-at-centre-of-ting-22353/ maybe this had something to do with their decision.

Fact is what ever the motivation for his moving.....cant be any worse than some of the blighty dross with mental that have already washed up on Thailands shores....

Let's hope he becomes active re UK spouse visas & frozen pensions once he's settled here.

Any ex-Home Office or DWP minister would clearly be strongly advised not to follow his lead!
