I’ll give it a try. My main concern is my mother, dual UK/US citizen and currently in Michigan with terminal cancer. If I need to urgently get to the US I cannot from the UK, but can from Thailand. Obviously not Thailand’s nor the UK’s problem and can only really rely on compassion, if it even exists in this situation.

I know nothing mate, I’m just a random Irish eejit. However, my own personal opinion is the situation around the world has not improved, even much worse in many places. Who knows what will happen.
