The biggest misogynists in the UK belong to the Muslim sect, where women are second class, honour killings still take place.

You enter a Muslim house, the women are in the kitchen, the men in the living room, FGM still practised, as are arranged marriages, Many women, especially those brought over from Pakistan, not allowed in the workplace.

But, I bet the hard core lefties, trade unionists, woke members and the current, dysfunctional Labour government will have nothing to say about that.

Even better, Congrats P'Thaksin.... finally you are declared innocent.

He is no P' Thaksin to me. He is a murderer of many innocent people from his War on drugs.

Certificate of Innocence is either translated badly or is just total nonsense.

He is a convicted felon / criminal.

His punishment was reduced by Royal Pardon in weeks from eight years to one, which he never served a day in prison anyhow. To the normal convicted criminal, a Royal Pardon takes years to even be presented. He managed it in about two/ three weeks.

Royal Pardon doesn't make him innocent. Royal Pardon is forgiveness.

The only way a person can be found innocent, is to present new evidence and to obtain a retrial, and be found not guilty.

So, the whole saga, is pure nonsense.

The court ruled it did not recognize Thammanat's conviction since the verdict was delivered in a foreign country. He has consistently denied any involvement in the drug smuggling case, maintaining that he was caught with flour, not heroin.

That's it then, I am taking up flour smuggling, it sounds profitable.

If the country doesn't recognise foreign convictions, why does it ask expats to provide police clearance certificates showing no convictions, from their home countries when requesting visas?

Thammanat, aged 59, was jailed for four years in 1994 for his involvement in a heroin smuggling case in Australia. Opposition politicians in 2021 unsuccessfully attempted to have the Constitutional Court declare him unfit for office.

It is like something from a comic strip.

How can these people profess to be judges and courts, leading a country, with decisions like this.

The country is a laughingstock in the wider world.

The guy is a menace and a megalomaniac.

He never keeps his word and is lower than pond life.

He just cannot stop interfering in politics. Furthermore, he is protected.

Thailand IS to all intents and purposes a banana republic.

A convicted criminal returns from abroad and doesn't spend one day in jail and leads the whole country on a merry go around with tales of mystery illnesses, which as soon as he was released, disappeared.

On corruption charges, he tried to bribe the judiciary with 2 million baht, (the chocolates scam) He then convinces Srettha to employ the lawyer of Thaksin, who was embroiled in this charade, to enter the Cabinet, then through the back door, report Srettha to the Ethics committee, knowing he will be thrown out as PM.

He now installs his daughter as the new PM, who is just another inexperienced airhead, whose only work experience is working in her father's hotel group.

Military Generals slapping reporters in public.

They disbanded the most popular party in the last elections, which won by a mile, the Move Forward party, because some dinosaurs didn't want progress or Thailand pushing towards real democracy and reform.

If all else fails, have a military coup, and when you do hand it back to the pretence of civilian government, make sure the high echelons of power are stacked with Generals and former generals, to ensure you keep a grip on power.

Allow cronyism in government, organise private meetings at an ex prime minister's house, who was not allowed to partake in politics as he had not finished his jail sentence and still remains a convicted felon, regardless of any Royal Pardon.

They ban the former leader of the Move Forward party for 10 years from politics on the flimsiest of excuses, and a convicted felon is dabbling in politics from jail.

Then allow people who are convicted drug smugglers with convictions in Australia to partake in government at the highest level, stating they hadn't committed the crime in Thailand.

If that isn't the behaviour of a Banana Republic, I don't know what is.

If you are so delighted, then presumably you are as concerned as others that such obvious criminality is not being dealt with across the board; or do you actually think that it is fabulous news that people whose political opinions you dislike are being jailed?

That's exactly what he is pleased about.

Anyone not Far Left and a big fan of Islam , the religion of peace, face his ire on AN.

They are all best friends until it comes to money.

I have had government officials borrow from my partner previously and never return the money.

A lot of smiles and sycophantic behaviour but no mention nor return of the money.

We have a hard and fast rule in my house, and that is not to ask for money from me.

If they need money, there are an ample supply of banks in the town.

The laughable part is, a lot of them try to borrow money, when they have no jobs nor security to cover anything they borrow.

I'm not disagreeing with that.

 

I'm stating that Urs' time in the Kingdom is coming to an end and for good reason. 

 

I think he should leave, both for his safety and for everyone else's. 

I don't think he'll have much of a choice after the verdict.

Although, without involvement from politicians, this would have been a 2,000 baht fine maximum.

However, the ambulance incident and the gun waving incident, shows a guy who thinks he can do as he pleases in the country, and for sure, he will be no loss and not many will be sad to see him go,

Guys like him don't stop until they are stopped.

I hope he doesn't pop up in Cambodia, they deserve better than this guy.

I have been kicking quite a few Thais lately and a lot harder than that limp ankled attempt by Dopey David.

 

i am heading down to my Muay Thai gym in an hour or so to give a few more a good kicking.

 

i really enjoy it.

Then you woke up and fell out of bed.

Dream on!!!

Make sure you take your meds today.

Deport the scumbag. Not even on remand in  jail?

You don't remand a guy for such a trivial offence when he can post bail, and they have his passport.

What next in your world?  ..............Flogging for not wearing crash helmets?
