Texts to deter illegal migrants
Text messages reminding people not to overstay their visas are part of a new drive by the government to clamp down on illegal migrants.

this is the latest bright idea to be introduced by the British government and is surely something we need to introduce here in Thailand. I'm off to propose the idea to immigration

I just got a message that I had set for myself to tell me I have to go for 90 day reporting today.
I think it's a great idea.

When we applied for the UK visa for my wife I noticed one of the questions was something like
"Are you now or have you ever been a member of a terrorist orginisation"

So thats sure to weed most of them out

If only they had thought of asking this question at the borders, Astrid Proll would never have made it to England.

My brother and I used to terrorize our parents when we were young. It wasn't organized but it was fun.

I think this is used so they can nail you with something afterwards if you are proven to be lying.

^Truth be told I have adopted the 'hosepipe' method in the UK. I get a few complaints from the neighbours, but I think that what I do in my own garden is up to me.

In what language would the text be?

Nice little earner for the phone companies at the tax payers expenss.
