What should I do after my partner's UK visa application was denied due to financial reasons?

@Steven ********

Thailand isn't a signatory to the UN Refugee Convention. UK is. See the difference?

@Tim ********

what has Thailand got to do with what is happening in the UK?

@Tim ********

they’re want to go to the uk is based on economics and the good will of its citizens. They should be reporter better still turned around, the uk can’t sustain this level of immigration and it’s nothing to do with your dreamt up white privileged theory

@Nigel *********

You're proving again it is exactly about your white privilege, Nigel. Those who have fled terror are refugees and entitled to sanctuary where they apply for it. Those who have not will be returned. Government determines spending. This one has managed to run up a record debts while slashing public spending and persuading idiots like you it's the fault of refugees. But the truth is you just don't like foreigners, otherwise you'd accept these simple facts instead of believing trash fascist newspapers

@Tim ********

yes your right - I don’t like foreigners who try to change the British way of life into the one they came from such as an Islamic way. Frankly I don’t care where or what circumstances they come from they are illegal as they had the opportunity to settle in a safe haven - France. The UK can’t sustain this and why should our tax payers pay to keep them when we have our own sleeping on the streets and military personnel who have served this country left wanting for support. Send them back…

@Tim ********

do some research on the knife crime in London. The UK is no longer safe either.

@Nick ***********

I'd that a racist trope I hear?

@Tim ********

No.

@Jeff ******

I've crossed the channel many times but I had a passport and a ticket. I didn't throw my passport away before I climbed into the dinghy.

@Jeff ******

no they dont what? Explain yourself please.

@Nick ***********

I kniow xenophobes aren't the brightest but just follow the thread, it's all there

@Nick ***********

This is a lie propagated by media and RW politics. UN convention (which UK signed) acknowledges they can arrive by any means, via any route, and apply for asylum when in a country they feel safe. Refugees get beaten by police (or racist groups aided by police) in Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, Italy, France, Belgium. They are forced into slavery in Libya. Find the facts and stop spouting lazy racist tropes

@Jeff ******

it leaves a route for young Romanians without families to join their local gangs in the UK. If they were so desperate to get away from some kind of threat why are so many of these immigrants who thought that the streets would be paved with gold are now wanting to go back home?

@Tony ********

going to get a lot more if that clown starmer gets in

The boats should get towed back into French waters and sunk

Don’t care what the snowflakes thinks but we don’t want them here

@David ********

says an immigrant!

@Tony ********

Tony you're ignorant of the facts. Find better news media than Mail, Sun, Telegraph, Express. All run by non-dom foreigners who don't pay tax in the UK.

@Tim ********

what the heck are you talking about? 😄

@Tony ********

Your maths? How many asylum seekers are in the UK? 1.2m UK population increase in last 3 years? Quote source before making shit up. UK born citizens have a +ve birth rate. What are you going to do about that? And why are you in Thailand playing Empire Builder when you show obvious signs of racist ignorance like these?

@Tim ********

I'm not a racist. Why would you think that? Can you say something about the Romanian crime gangs which seem to be bolstering their numbers with Romanians who have no reason to seek asylum from what is happening in Romania? The typical profile of genuine refugees includes families. Why are they mostly absent in the migration across the channel to the UK. What I really resent is you implying that I'm a racist. That's just lazy nonsense.

@Tony ********

Tony, the lazy nonsense is only reading one source. Men and women/children leave their home countries mostly as families. Can you guess what happens to the women and children along the way? It is researchedand published. Don't be lazy. You are happy to accept racist tropes from news media owned by non-dom non-tax payers, who lie to get lazy idiots to support a corrupt racist government that allows them those tax breaks and media power. I'm happy to say your decisions, behaviour and comments reflect your racism, even if it is largely borne of ignorance from a failure to widen your source material. There is some truth in your view of Romanian economic migrants. But it's not true even of all Romanians, many of whom are persecuted in their own country. And it's still fundamentally racist to reject someone on the grounds of their nationality, race, faith etc etc with no investigation into their personal allowances circumstances and reasons for fleeing.

@Tim ********

now you are just being naive together with your knee-jerk reaction of using the racism card which seems to be applied to everything as far as the woke left are concerned. Furthermore you have absolutely no idea what my sources are. I don't take much notice of assumptions and you are making many.

@Tony ********

OK you used the "woke" card, telling me all I need to know about you

Woke = believing in the right of all people to live a good life with fairness and respect.

@Tim ********

woke (as it applies now for the intolerant liberal left)

Woke = cancel culture, censorship, control of the population, inclusiveness which actually means you are included unless you disagree with me for which you will be excluded, the constant need to be offended, intolerance of free speech, etc etc.

That is the reality of what wokeness means today. In former times it would have meant equality within the context of social democratic ideology. Have you not been observing what has been going on in the last few years? And I didn't get that from The Daily Mail 😄

@Tony ********

the left is ‘intolerant’? Jesus I’ve heard it all now. So whats your definition of the right? Such as Braverman, Gullis and Anderson ? Can’t wait to hear this

@Tony ********

just send them to Rogers place

@Tony ********

if they aren't entitled to asylum it won't be granted.

@Lynnette ******

they don't know most of them are in the country and those they do it takes years to process their applications. Meanwhile communities are suffering massive disruption to their normal lives by hordes of people who shouldn't be in the country take up every possible form of habitation at tax payers expense. Have you read about the illegals who have committed a serious crime including the murder of an old man? A minority I agree but they should never have been allowed into the UK.

@Lynnette ******

yes that's true, but they can't process the applications faster than they arrive which is why the UK population has increased by 1.2 million the last 3 years.

@Tony ********

and where did you make up those figures?

@Tony ********

45,000 pa come by small boat. Over the past 3 years that totals 135,000 some of whom have died, left (eg to RoI), deported or granted asylum. The other 1.1 million increase in UK population has arrived by regular means in line with government policies and laws.

@Iain ********

that's 45,000 too many. The UK is already an overcrowded country and it's putting a strain on resources.

/01/asylum-seeker-hotel-costs-in-context

@Tony ********

45,009 is a lot less than 1.2 million. Have you looked at the 2024 budget?

It assumes that we have net inward migration of 300,000 wage earners pa for the next 5 years and relies on income tax, NI and VAT receipts from their economic activity to pay for our services without excessive government borrowing.

@Tony ********

45,000 is 0.03% of the population, how stupid do you feel now? Presumably you're ok with the doctors, nurses, train drivers, engineers etc etc that come over to save your skin, or do you refuse to be treated by someone who doesn't look like you? Principles and all that. Just think every time you go to a thai hospital and get treated, a thai has to wait behind you, do you ever see them belly aching how unfair the world is or is it just a western disease?

@Jeff ******

you have a point. The last time I went to see my doctor I asked why he was wet and he told me he had just got out of a dinghy in a very rough sea. And the last time I went to a Thai clinic there were 30 Thais in front of me. How stupid do you feel now?

@Tony ********

Sorry if I knew I was arguing with a retard I would have dumbed it down! So lets try and simplify it a bit for you, how do you know the attributes(or not) of anyone coming over? You know them? You've already decided that as they're looking worse for wear (after crossing the channel) they're a waste of space and not worthy of being treated as human beings right? Does your hatred extend to abuse/rape/torture victims too? Did you leap around the room in joy when the little boy was washed up on the beach last year? Or when the seven year old girl drowned a few months ago? Were they chancers after something for free? In your hatred of them, actually allowing them to be processed and sorting out the genuine from the chancers isn't good enough for you is it. They're not white so they've all got to go without a hearing even if it smashes through every human rights law the UK signed up to. Just be honest, you're a paid up racist aren't you. You can also confirm that for every appointment you've ever had there has never been a thai waiting behind you? Because if there was, you're just another entitled hypocrite.

@Tony ********

so employ more people, tough one eh?

@Tony ********

More ignorance. Crap at maths too

@Tony ********

no thanks
