but the misses hates the dog, all dogs , i'm not sure if she sneaks something in it's water

well that's true, there are many fake colleges and uni's, with the students working full time

well most of them fake ones should be gone soon, as they have to apply for a license, and the gov will be quick to cancel it, if they do anything dodgy, also they will be responsible for reporting students who do not attend class etc,,,

Oh yes they are all vey strict on reporting students who dont turn up but all im told is forgiven if they have a good excuse. More time down A and E then getting a note

LOL

No thats just from things i see and ear with my ears and eyes.

Cant stand right or left wing all meets round the opposite end to me. No difference between Stalin and Hitler for me.

One thing i do know many people who come here prepared to work hard or just on a student or vistor visa cant belive how silly the system is.

Its just like at school if the teachers dont offer any discipline or rules many well behaved and well intentioned pupils will sneak off lessons and generally break the odd rule.

Glad to see we are still going on this one.

Having listened to all the aguments I have changed my opinion and come to the conclusion that the best solution to dealing with these "criminals" would be to adopt the Rodrigo R. Duterte policy of a swift bullet or dive off a high cliff kids and all, much more cost effective than due process, detention centers, hotels and repatriation and Im sure the message would get about perhaps when he is finished there he could apply for a visa and then run for P.M. might take a few years but it would be worth the wait

Whatever opinion you have about the 'Death Squads', there is no doubt that this little corner of Mindanao is one of the safest, because of the policy shared by Duterte, Chung Uy, and other local mayors.

maybe for those few criminals who actually think before they commit a crime, that if the punishment is so serve if they are caught, that they might not commit the crime.

only last year i had to give evidence at a crown court in a £3m fraud trial, the poor jury had to sit there for 3 months, and the cost of the trial and what did those involved get, suspended prison sentences, if i was on the jury i would be so that 3 months of my life was wasted, for those found guilty to walk free.

Absolutely Peter I can see how that would work ,its not dissimilar to the Thai attitude if locals use any kind of force to rob foreigners they get the chop too, as it has a negative impact on investment, interestingly my Honey says the perps who are bright enough to get the message in Davao often turn up in Cebu since unfortunately these enlightened policies are not yet adopted Nation wide due to lack of resources (ammo and fuel) The local foreigners though are having a Christmas Ball to raise funds

One Pub I used to frequent once had some plebs steal a few bags, due to the Irish conections in the PUB the gentleman were found, bags with all in them and possbily some compensation if the plebs had anything on them.
The Plebs were then re trained in the ways of acting in public.

I dont think they ever limped near the place again and crime was only a subject mentioned in the pub due to some outside event after that.
This Pub also had mental lock ins most evenings where any new late stayers were reminded to behave with a quick tap on the shoulder and a few words in the ear from rather tough gentleman. Offending let alone re offending never happened strangely.

This Pub even though it had a lot of Younger drinkers and big groups of blokes out on the lash, also had familys and older people by the table full as well. As they knew that it was as safe as their own house.
