If the facts are not on your side and you know you can't win with words then you think it's time to punch someone. I have a couple of friends in Thailand who are from the UK and they all agree with my point of view. Maybe more of you should read The Guardian and learn from it. Then you would be better informed about your own country. "I have a couple of friends in Thailand who are from the UK and they all agree with my point of view." If you think by having a "couple of friends" from the UK that agrees with you gives your argument any credibilty I would have a rethink, are you serious?

I think you have a problem holding back your rudeness sometimes, but do not worry we don't have much longer to endure the snide remarks from some posters. If by insulting our elected PM whilst your own unelected leaders go unchallenged there will almost certainly be problems.

Will you go back to the wonderful UK to live there happily ever after and not contribute to Thai Visa anymore? Or will I be banned from this forum for not supporting Boris?

Are you one of those people who have your Facebook profiles stating that you attended the ‘school of hard knocks’ and the ‘university of life’ too? This ‘one’ would be more than happy for Fred to negotiate the new free trade deal with the EU. But you are going to leave it to Boris and his chums, they aren’t going to be looking out for you. My only observation is that 11 months ain’t enough (see see, I used an every mans word!!!) to build a comprehensive negotiation position and be able to prioritize your trade must haves vs the ones you are happy to negotiate away. But that one little observation seems to have gotten you and your other Everyman mates backs up. It’s like I’m pointing out you don’t have a clear plan or something and are offended by it! But you seem to be happy to sell out the small business people who are going to be most affected by all the new regulatory compliance that comes from being on the outside p!ssing in trade wise. Not me. It's the vast majority of small businesses in the UK (that don't export) that have had to bear extra costs for years due to the burden of EU regulations. What are you on about? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratch the surface a little, challenge their grey matter just a small amount - and they revert to their anti-foreigner yob mentality.

The last thing we need right now is an unelected leader in Brussels telling our elected PM in the UK what to do. We both have the same deadline to work to now, time to stop messing about a get on with it instead of making excuses before we even start talking. The leader, if you refer to Ursula, was elected ...
