    ”What are some notable cases where someone was sentenced to life for a drug offense in the UK?”

     

    Khalid Mahmood (2010): Mahmood was convicted for his role in a drug trafficking operation that included violence and threats. He received a life sentence due to the severity of the crimes associated with his drug offenses, including the use of firearms and intimidation

    Narcotopia, about the decades-long collusion of the CIA with Burmese opium growers (who were also headhunters) is the best Asian-interest page turner since SnakeHead. Read it in thee 100 page blasts.


    I want to second this recommendation - Narcotopia is a thoroughly enjoyable read.  Touches on Thailand in many instances, as you might imagine.  Non-fiction (and thoroughly cited) but reads like a novel at times.

    Amazing Thailand. So they disbanded MFP, remove the PM, probably elections again without MFP - then guess who is going back into power? 🤦‍♀️

     

    No doubt this was planned, and sadly they'll get away with it.


    Doubt there is an election anytime soon, Pheu Thai knows they would get their ass thoroughly beaten by People’s Party.  Now, in a year or 3, after the Thaksin machine is really up and running, greasing the wheels as it were - well, that is a different story.
