    Maybe Thailand should make learning Thai compulsory for immigrants too.

    On the contrary I think it's a great idea and I would extend it to those already living in the UK - Anyone who starts a sentence with 'The thing is right' or ends a sentence with 'innit' should immediately be deported to a primitive God-forsaken wasteland, and when the Isle of Wight is full up, they can shipped off to the Antarctic for all I care.

    Thailand does require you to speak and write Thai before you can immigrate to Thailand, plus pay a heavy fee for the paperwork.
    Thats one reason that most of us are expats instead of migrants.

    ^Good point well made.

    Brits really do weigh themselves down with a whole load of ridiculous guilt. In any other country the requirement to have some basic mastery the local language before settling would be no more than plain and simple common sense; but in the UK everyone wrings their hands worrying about whether it is discriminatory - The stupid thing is that the hand-wringing is only a public front - In private, we're all bastards.

    For seppos, geography lessons and courses in cultural appreciation should be mandatary.
