gk10002000 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 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. Link to comment
Bender Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 i guess the age gap is around 35 years.... now i understand why you have so many deluded foreigners here! In 6 months he would have lost everything to this bird.... i bet 6 months. working in an orphanage.... oh please stop it or i will start to cry. Link to comment

Otherwise we will have one more bonkers, here on this forum, claiming everyday how much his wife is different Link to comment
taotoo Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Looks like he's got a leash to put on I thought the wife was handcuffed Link to comment

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 Link to comment
gk10002000 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 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. Link to comment
nottocus Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 British politician, orphanage. Someone keep an eye on him at all times please. Sounds dodgy. Link to comment
fang37 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I have no idea why, but I think Pollies are always law-abiding citizens = Work Permit required. Link to comment
MAJIC Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 With a Salary of £74,000, he is taking retirement, ...there is more to this than meets the eye! Link to comment
stoneyboy Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Give the bloke a break,any one whose ever been to the isle of Thanet can sympathise with him. Link to comment

Ricardo Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 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 ! 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 ? Link to comment
emilymat Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 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 Link to comment
wordchild Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 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.

Soutpeel Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Looks like he's got a leash to put on Bit rich isnt it....given some of the "oil paintings" i have seen the "resident" all knowing farangs kicking about with in Thailand over the years....looks like most got their teeraks from the local branch of the SPCA Link to comment

OJAS Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 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! Link to comment
