I moved to the UK in the 1990s. I have always worked extremely hard to pay my fees to learn English and to go the university. I will always be grateful to the British government and the people who embrace me as one of them. I am still working around, today I am a senior lecturer in some prestigious universities, paying high tax monthly. HOWEVER, I can’t agree more with your thoughts and opinions. Unfortunately, I am seeing a huge change for worst in the last few years. And I am now preparing to an early retirement abroad. Obviously, I will continue paying tax in the uk from my regiment and I see this as a good justice for what the UK offered me for around 30 years. However, my future isn’t in the UK anymore.

Sir, If you want to repay the people of the UK please DO NOT do it through the UK tax system - use other ways. These UK Govt ****s are sending billions to Isitreal & Ukraine whilst treating the local population like ****. The British Govt let you in as it was in their interest to do so as they are letting the 'undocumenteds' in now (to cause the chaos that will make people DEMAND the Digital IDs: Yes, UK Govt want unrest so they can push through more controls and rules - Digital IDs are a pre-requiste for programmable carbon credit linked CBDCs. Blair tried but couldn't push Digital IDs through - 'Covif' passes were the most recent attempt that didn't quite work. Guess they figured they need to create chaos with 'undocumenteds' then the public will demand digital IDs... then come CBDCs with rules galore on your spending (on what, where, when etc) Fk the govt!
Oh they'll put up with it alright - no other choice. UK is basically bust. Why are Brits paid more money than Thais??????????? No proper reason really. Govt will have to bring in UBI and programmable CBDC + personal carbon credits which will dictate on what and where you can spend 'your' money - 15 minute cities too. No more trips back home for Les. The next generation have already been brainwashed on 'green' policies and how bad capitalism is so it'll probably be easy to push thru as they already are (electric cars & ULEZ (no not you Les)). These. Are. The. Good Times. so enjoy them while you still can 👍 BTW, Thailand is already running a CBDC - after the next banking crisis the Thai Govt will make it the only option - and Thailand is VERY good at autocracy, official over reach and crackdowns etc. - looks like there's no escape but we live in hope.
We’re living in sad times Les. This is the new, ‘Norm’ in the UK. In my opinion, it’s just going to get worse. The system will never change now, it’s gone to far. I think we lived through the best times in the UK., 70’s, 80’s, early 90’s. Good luck to you and your family Les. Best wishes from me here, back in good old Bang Saray.
Thanks so much for your comment. The can has been kicked for to long and to start the return will be difficult. I look forward to my return to Thailand.
Sirens going off all last weekend in the town near me, two tier policing blatantly used, the British working class suffering left, right & centre. Record numbers of illegal immigration being housed & looked after...absolutely shocking.
100% agree, Muslim gangs walking round with deadly weapons, told by police " just go home ", yet white people are beaten with batons, attacked by police dogs and arrested. Anybody politician or senior police officer who says two tier policing doesn't happen, is full of shit quite frankly. Look at happened in Rotherham with the Muslim grooming gangs , all because the police were scared of looking racist. It's utter bollocks, the indigenous people of this country have had enough
Can always use the fresh labour arriving daily to build more so they can earn their keep. Whilst they are at it they can build hostels on brown field sites for themselves to live in...
The difference is you’ve payed your way Les, The UK people have been shafted big time, why work all your life then get taxed even more in your retirement, You’ve done the best thing
Love this. You are not an economic migrant. You are an expat. Big difference. I'm surprised that more people who are struggling in the UK aren't leaving to take advantage of less regulated societies in other countries. The cost of living in the UK has become a total rip-off because too much money goes to rich shareholders and foreigners who think they can have an easier life simply by emigrating.
Sometimes people need to look outside the box. I also know that many people can't leave family members but sometimes you need to help yourself. The feeling of being able to manage without fear of not having enough to live on. Thailand ticks all my boxes.
I agree with everything you have said Les. In fact I wonder if England will still be a place we recognize in 50 years? Probably not. Starmer could have said more neutral language like "everyone has to stop rioting" but as usual he targeted the so called far right!
@@pavement422 You only saw that you helmet? You have not heard of the Muslim defense league and Asian lads going bashing people in pubs. How about we meet up and I will take you to some of these areas. Where do you live? As you are WEAK.
Thailand has this problem sorted... No Visa your out or full BnB at the Bangkok Hilton until you pay the fine and flight home!!!! THIS I LOVE ABOUT THAILAND 😎🇹🇭
You are spot-on Les. thanks! In this world it is not easy to find a safe port in a stormy sea. The majority of Aussi are also living in Plato's ‘allegory of the cave’. The inmates of the cave do not desire to leave their prison, for they know no better life. The reset is a return to serfdom, as is happening in the UK now, unless the masses wake-up and stop it.
Thailand turned 'refugee' boats back a few years ago- they stopped coming. Any illegal is put in a detention centre until THEY pay the fare home. UK escorts thousands of illegals in, puts them up in Hotels and gives them food, health care, dental treatment and money every week. Which would you say is going to lead to social unrest?

It is not just the UK Les! Sad to say it is the same or worse in the USA. We live in one of the top5 most expensive cost of living States in the US. Yet the infrastructure & health care etc is way lower quality than Thailand. In my humble opinion I think yes Thailand & its neighbors are what is called developing countries but that in fact is better than the so called first world western countries. I really think the Eastern Countries are developing while the Western countries are in decline. Talk about food banks? Do you know in the USA 41 MILLION people are on EBT/Food Stamps provided by the government.....Thanks for the walk & chat!
Thanks for your comment, I also hear from American, Australian, Canadian, subscribers also say the same thing. The World is in decline and the sad thing is that there is enough money in the World to have a massive reset and solve most problems but the Billionaires will not part with what they have. The rich can fix this. Greed has taken over kindness.
Hi Les, you can't compare yourself moving to Thailand, to an illegal immigrant moving here. You are financially self sufficient and are not a drain on the Thai tax payer, yet an illegal gimmegrunt coming here gets free housing, food, smart phone etc....all at the expense of the British tax payer. They pay £5000+ to smugglers to get here. You could buy a plot of land with a house in Eastern Europe for that, but they won't get free handouts like in this soft country. They can live for free here. Do you think the Thai government would put you up in a 4* star hotel and 3 meals a day. Btw, winter fuel allowance is NOT being scrapped, it is being means tested, which I agree with. Why should somebody living in the Costa Del Sol get winter fuel allowance? There are so many things wrong with this country, and yes, the riots is putting gimmegrunts off from coming here now, actually, some are actually going back to France. I will make a prediction now, these riots will spread across Western Europe.
Thanks for your comment, the people arriving here in the UK are searching for a better life, I have no problem with that looking for a better life, the annoying thing about it is the free stuff they get and the huge cost to the tax payers. They enter illegally I'm lucky to live in Thailand but without income and means of living there I would not be allowed to live in Thailand, If I arrived illegally I would be deported or put in Jail That is the deterrent 4* Hotels and freebies is an attraction not a deterrent. The Heating allowance I agree with what you say but there are some that would lose out and this would be me also, having a private pension I would not qualify for this even though some people receive benefits more than my income get the allowance, Thanks for watching and taking time to comment.🙏
I'm a prison officer in Australia, it amazes me how many prisoners eventually get sent to jail, they have already got over 20+ offenses, jail isn't a deterrent anymore, it's a joke and even to the point they bleat about their human rights, they couldn't care less about their victims. More and more people that are what's left of the middle class, here are also going to food banks, we are the most taxed, I paid $30,000 in income tax this year and when you add on all the other taxes. you are working for nothing, yet if I sat on my arse, I'd get given everything. I'm hoping that my wife will go back to Thailand at the end of the year and get a loan and we can build house and like you Les pay it off over the next couple of years, then I can semi retire or find a job teaching English in Thailand with my degree. .
@@RetiredandLivingthedream Cheers Les, I don't think its as tough as the cops, but it does change you, one more year to I graduate and I'm gone. Ill just plod along until I can live in Lopburi.
Consecutive governments and Labour will find itself in the same position as the Tories whenever the next election is and the Right wing parties will reap the benefit not the blue Labour Tories but Ireland will be the place to watch
There's got to be a reason for the deliberate turning a blind eye to mass illegal immigration, it just doesn't make sense. All too clear to see with the two tier policing and government comments of late.
The police on the ground are being told what to do by the Woke Top Brass the normal police man / or police woman would agree. Thee could be a mass exodus of police then the Government are in trouble.
It's all organised, all over the west, like we couldn't stop the wee dinghy's!!!! Politicians obeying orders, they have SOLD this country, I hope karma sorts the lot o em, Remember wee rishi 8 weeks and the planes WILL Be leaving to WANDA, oh look there's a flying pig rishi
There is a reason & its absolutely obvious. Rich & Influential people are making money from economic migration. . Just look at the billions some rich people are making from migrant hotels .
Go find the interview between Yuri Bezmenov and Edward G Griffin. It explains what is going on over the last many decades. We have been in the demoralisation phase. We are now enetering the crisis phase. All intentional and planned.
Les, I bet your looking forward to getting back home? - I moved to France in 2020, each time I come back to the UK I can't wait to get out. its very sad
Who is to say that if England never allowed immigrants, would England be a better place today. I think that’s an easy yes to say England would be better. Or maybe be smart like Thailand, and allow 100 foreigners to become naturalized citizens annually. This sounds better than giving out citizenship like chocolates. I’m not gonna say what went wrong in the UK. But in the USA I have an idea on some of the things that went wrong. In the old days the U.S. State Department would try to keep bad people out. However, the judges and lawyers got involved saying you can not discriminate and brought forth quotas for immigrants and favoritism. That was the beginning of the end and the perversion of U.S. immigration laws because people are not the same all over the world. And when you remove critical thinking from your country’s immigration policies, you’re left with mediocrity and suffering from average citizens. In addition, the U.S. LUST for war created a different kind of immigration. Before the war in Vietnam, almost no Vietnamese in America. After the war, today about 3 million. Before the war in El Salvador about 50,000 Salvadoran in the U.S. today about 3 million in the U.S. And it goes for all the other stupid war since. Today America has 46 million foreign born immigrants. Plus an additional 10 million illegals. Sorry to say the U.S. is too stupid to keep out undesirable people. When I first heard Thai Immigration motto was good guys in, bad guys out, that’s proof Thais are smarter then Westerners.
There is hardly any illegal immigration. More than 80% of asylum seekers are genuine cases and are granted asylum. So your issues are not with the people that are coming here, it's the system. Immigration needs to be made tougher, agreed. But for a small minority to riot on the streets and spouting racist nonsense brings shame on this great country. The likes of Tommy what ever his name is and Farage and the ugly trollop of Hopkins needs arresting for inciting violence. It's 14 years of tory rule which has created this divide and deprived our communities of much needed investment. Stop promoting division!
We are tired of soft touch Governments/ police force,and selective so called asylum seekers who have the funds to by pass the majority of other european countrys . On a brighter note i was in Redcar saturday and we found a box of Heron foods own brand Cornettos ( 5 in a box ) very very cheap Les check them out mate .
I keep getting told I don't have a say because I left the UK to live in another country in 1986. 😮😅 Then the Tory government gave my wife and me our UK vote back on January 16th 2024 so we could vote against it. You couldn't make it up, could you? 😂🎉
Again people say I'm entitled to nothing in the UK as I have left, they still take my tax and give me nothing, they will Freeze my pension because they can. Mmmmm I paid into the system for many years already.
@@RetiredandLivingthedream My late father always said there would be no pension when I reached retirement. I listened to him, made other arrangements and ended up with a little pension in France, plus a bit of passive income. At least your pension will already be taxed when you receive it in Thailand 👍👍.
Hi Liz I don’t think you’ve got anything in common with an illegal immigrant. I don’t think you check out £28,000 a year from Thailand and expect them to pay for your life working man pay for everything. Get nothing for free. I could be wrong, but I think Thailand is going the right way round look after your own.
You talk a lot about immigrants, but what about the millions of Brits living on welfare with no intention of ever doing a day's work? That's costing us tens of billions a year. Plus, studies have shown that low and middle incomes don't pay much tax in the UK, only 28% (20% income tax plus 8% NI) all the way up to £50,000, compared to European countries. Meanwhile, people on high incomes, say £200-250k, pay similar amounts of tax compared to European countries. So if anything, it's the people on incomes up to £50,000 who should be paying more. There is no something for nothing. It's not the state's (read taxpayers') responsibility to feed, clothe and house you. People must take responsibility for their lives and not sit back expecting it on a plate.
At the moment Immigrants are a HOT TOPIC. The benefits system I agree has been plundered by many for many years but they were British and Live here. Not the free lunch and give me a house as I arrived here ILLIGALLY brigade. There is a lot wrong with the UK at the moment. I agree everyone should be responsible for themselves.
THE GUY FROM HUNGARY COULD RECEIVE THOSE BENEFITS BECAUSE HE S FROM AN EU COUNTRY!! THE OTHER VIDEO YOU LAMENTING ABOUT BREXIT RESTRICTION , NOW YOU RE ALSO LAMENTING ABOUT THE EU BENEFITS

100% spot on, we have to pay to live in Thailand follow the rules have a minimum income to obtain the Retirement visa. Their rules work. Thanks for watching.
@@RetiredandLivingthedream Here is the thing with Thailand. If you speak to the right person, then all the requirements go away. Agents can facilitate many things, and I will guarantee half of the expats would not be allowed to remain if all the rules were strictly enforced. Particularly on the financial side.

UK is basically bust. Why are Brits paid more money than Thais??????????? No proper reason really.
Govt will have to bring in UBI and programmable CBDC + personal carbon credits which will dictate on what and where you can spend 'your' money - 15 minute cities too. No more trips back home for Les.
The next generation have already been brainwashed on 'green' policies and how bad capitalism is so it'll probably be easy to push thru as they already are (electric cars & ULEZ (no not you Les)).

Go find the interview between Yuri Bezmenov and Edward G Griffin. It explains what is going on over the last many decades. We have been in the demoralisation phase. We are now enetering the crisis phase. All intentional and planned.
Les, I bet your looking forward to getting back home? - I moved to France in 2020, each time I come back to the UK I can't wait to get out. its very sad
I have booked my return ticket. Look forward to my return to Thailand.
Thanks for watching a few more video's before my return.
Who is to say that if England never allowed immigrants, would England be a better place today.
I think that’s an easy yes to say England would be better. Or maybe be smart like Thailand, and allow 100 foreigners to become naturalized citizens annually. This sounds better than giving out citizenship like chocolates.
I’m not gonna say what went wrong in the UK. But in the USA I have an idea on some of the things that went wrong.
In the old days the U.S. State Department would try to keep bad people out. However, the judges and lawyers got involved saying you can not discriminate and brought forth quotas for immigrants and favoritism. That was the beginning of the end and the perversion of U.S. immigration laws because people are not the same all over the world. And when you remove critical thinking from your country’s immigration policies, you’re left with mediocrity and suffering from average citizens.
In addition, the U.S. LUST for war created a different kind of immigration.
Before the war in Vietnam, almost no Vietnamese in America. After the war, today about 3 million. Before the war in El Salvador about 50,000 Salvadoran in the U.S. today about 3 million in the U.S. And it goes for all the other stupid war since.
Today America has 46 million foreign born immigrants. Plus an additional 10 million illegals.
Sorry to say the U.S. is too stupid to keep out undesirable people.
When I first heard Thai Immigration motto was good guys in, bad guys out, that’s proof Thais are smarter then Westerners.
The rules we play by defeat us and were paying for it.
The government's
Spot on.
Stop illegal migration, stop ODA, pay the pensioners!
There is hardly any illegal immigration. More than 80% of asylum seekers are genuine cases and are granted asylum. So your issues are not with the people that are coming here, it's the system. Immigration needs to be made tougher, agreed. But for a small minority to riot on the streets and spouting racist nonsense brings shame on this great country. The likes of Tommy what ever his name is and Farage and the ugly trollop of Hopkins needs arresting for inciting violence.
It's 14 years of tory rule which has created this divide and deprived our communities of much needed investment.
Stop promoting division!
It makes my blood boil Les! You are a normal working class man saying how it is - and they would label you “far right” what a joke!
They Tar everyone who attends the demonstration how dare he, He has not got a clue.
Bet you enjoyed your pint after that walk pal..and I bet you can't wait to get home..
Just a coffee and a English Breakfast, not a big drinker but I have had the one or two John Smiths.
We are tired of soft touch Governments/ police force,and selective so called asylum seekers who have the funds to by pass the majority of other european countrys .
On a brighter note i was in Redcar saturday and we found a box of Heron foods own brand Cornettos ( 5 in a box ) very very cheap Les check them out mate .
They do not tell us everything, arriving by private Jet
I keep getting told I don't have a say because I left the UK to live in another country in 1986. 😮😅
Then the Tory government gave my wife and me our UK vote back on January 16th 2024 so we could vote against it.
You couldn't make it up, could you? 😂🎉
Again people say I'm entitled to nothing in the UK as I have left, they still take my tax and give me nothing, they will Freeze my pension because they can. Mmmmm I paid into the system for many years already.
@@RetiredandLivingthedream My late father always said there would be no pension when I reached retirement. I listened to him, made other arrangements and ended up with a little pension in France, plus a bit of passive income.
At least your pension will already be taxed when you receive it in Thailand 👍👍.
Hi Liz I don’t think you’ve got anything in common with an illegal immigrant. I don’t think you check out £28,000 a year from Thailand and expect them to pay for your life working man pay for everything. Get nothing for free. I could be wrong, but I think Thailand is going the right way round look after your own.
England government fck up
The voice of the people still are not herd.
You better get back to the land of smiles before the thought police stamp on you.
I have booked my ticket already but no fear from the police. I feel sorry for the police they have a tough job.
You talk a lot about immigrants, but what about the millions of Brits living on welfare with no intention of ever doing a day's work? That's costing us tens of billions a year.
Plus, studies have shown that low and middle incomes don't pay much tax in the UK, only 28% (20% income tax plus 8% NI) all the way up to £50,000, compared to European countries. Meanwhile, people on high incomes, say £200-250k, pay similar amounts of tax compared to European countries. So if anything, it's the people on incomes up to £50,000 who should be paying more.
There is no something for nothing. It's not the state's (read taxpayers') responsibility to feed, clothe and house you. People must take responsibility for their lives and not sit back expecting it on a plate.
At the moment Immigrants are a HOT TOPIC. The benefits system I agree has been plundered by many for many years but they were British and Live here. Not the free lunch and give me a house as I arrived here ILLIGALLY brigade. There is a lot wrong with the UK at the moment. I agree everyone should be responsible for themselves.
Its called the Labour Party Les.
They are not having a good start, and it looks like nothing good is to come in the short term.
@@RetiredandLivingthedream Rumours their going for Pensions next Means testing it whatever that will mean.
Its becoming a similar story around a lot off the world, its always the economy, as the money disappears welfare and migrant bashing ramps up.
The Western World was once admired and everyone wanted this but now the opposite many people are leaving the Western World Thanks for watching.
THE GUY FROM HUNGARY COULD RECEIVE THOSE BENEFITS BECAUSE HE S FROM AN EU COUNTRY!! THE OTHER VIDEO YOU LAMENTING ABOUT BREXIT RESTRICTION , NOW YOU RE ALSO LAMENTING ABOUT THE EU BENEFITS

100% spot on, we have to pay to live in Thailand follow the rules have a minimum income to obtain the Retirement visa. Their rules work. Thanks for watching.
@@RetiredandLivingthedream Here is the thing with Thailand. If you speak to the right person, then all the requirements go away. Agents can facilitate many things, and I will guarantee half of the expats would not be allowed to remain if all the rules were strictly enforced. Particularly on the financial side.
