Does it not occur to anyone holding such views that her visa(s) might have been granted long before she did a 'dexys' and that said visa might be valid for years or even the life of her passport(s)?

Thai passports are for five years; UK visitor visas for a maximum of ten.

She's gone! She outsmarted the numpties running the show! Get over it!!!

Yingluck is unlikely to outsmart anyone. But then, Prayuth and co. aren't exactly candidates for an IQ 100> Nobel prize.

conveniently "not clear", reminds  me of every ghost or alien picture , including the Loch Ness Monster

That`s what I thought. Why did the so-called well  intentioned person not take a clearer closer shot? I`m calling BS on this one until something a little more convincing is published.

She wouldn't have applied for the visa on her Thai passport, knowing full well it could be revoked, thus invalidating the visa.

 

How long are Montenegro or Nicaraguan passports valid for? She likely has a full 10 years to travel freely to the UK.

Can't possibly be Yingluk as I am (reliably?) informed her 15yo son is being held in a military academy as a hostage of the junta.

The lady in the rather indistinct photographs has now been positively identified as Sofia Anna Fettamalarkia from a famous Bulgarian family of cheese smugglers.

 

This much sort after product is rushed nightly to the border escorted by colonels from various services...

 

Ms Fettamamalarkia has profusely apologised for causing Alarm,Consternation and Despondency but has also declined to "whey" in the general direction of sundry third world authorities.

 

Stay tuned for more excitement in the weeks ahead...

Hope she got a good spot for the fireworks in about an hour.

She does if her passports have been cancelled. In fact, no asylum, no passports, she's illegal.

You are misinformed.She will certainly have a valid travel document by now and in any case will of course have had a Thai passport when entering the UK.There is no need for her to seek asylum which is a long complex procedure and confers no advantages on her anyway.

I disagree. If, and that's a very big if, an Interpol notice, red or blue, has been issued, then UK police forces will act on it. They will not try and judge the merits of the case. That will be a matter for the courts to decide. 

 

But the UK forces will follow rules, unlike some other forces.

The UK courts...

 

I would also suspect that the decision whether or not to react to a request by a junta government to arrest and send to them their last democratically elected prime minister, especially when her re-election was forstalled by a military coup, would be taken at the very highest level, following some pretty comprehensive legal and political considerations.

Could the source(s) of your information possibly had an axe-to-grind themselves, do you think ?

 

It can't possibly be Yingluck, because there's no queue of elderly-ladies eager to press red roses into her hands, obvious innit !

What annoys me is that my Thai partner had her visitor visa application turned down twice by the British embassy in BKK yet Ms Shinawatra seems able to waltz in with no problem.

Where did she apply for her entry visa ? Obviously not BKK.

May's corrupt "English" government.

Maybe because your partner wasn't facing a politically-motivated trial that would have resulted in a lengthy jail term, where the person in question would have managed to hang herself with a sock?

Yingluck and brother are rich, Money talks and the rest of us need

valid passports, that's life.

Disagree all you like. Here is the official stance according to the Interpol web site:
"A Red Notice is a request to locate and provisionally arrest an individual pending extradition. ... INTERPOL cannot compel any member country to arrest an individual who is the subject of a Red Notice. Each member country decides for itself what legal value to give a Red Notice within their borders."
Further:
"In general, civil law countries of Europe will carry out provisional arrests based on a Red Notice and mutual adherence to a bilateral or multilateral treaty, while common law states like Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States will not make such arrests."
There are no "rules" compelling British or other police agencies to do anything at all. The existing extradition treaty between Great Britain and Thailand specifically denies extradition of persons convicted in absentia, which would seem possibly to be the case with Yingluck. There is a deal of legal wrangling possible about the date of conviction versus the announcement, the expense of which, and all other costs, would fall on Thailand.  
Addendum: It appears likely no notices have been issued, despite announcements.
 

"Pol Colonel Krisana Patanacharoen, deputy spokesman of the Royal Thai Police, said on Tuesday that none of the 192 member countries had informed the Bangkok Interpol office of any clues as to the location of the fugitive politician.

However, Thai police are gathering more evidence to send to Interpol in order to get a blue notice issued on her, he said, adding that they are continually coordinating with the international crime agency."
This from a report in "The Nation" dated November 17th. In other words a Blue Notice had yet to be issued, never mind a Red Notice. My read on this, and it is my opinion only of course, is that the requests for notice have so far not met the requirements of Interpol, which will determine if a request is valid, i.e. is Yingluck an actual criminal? They will not issue notices for persons who are wanted for political crimes, for instance. Hmmm.

If she had the net worth of Yingluk she would have got in first time

Is this such a big question for the Thai government?   Here is a picture of Yingluck outside Harrods taken yesterday, January 4, 2018 by Thai tourists who recognized her. Picture courtesy of Matichon.

[katana]

The photo outside Harrods was originally posted on Andrew MacGregor Marshall's Twitter and Facebook pages on  the 4th Jan 2018.

He added that she had been living there since she fled Thailand via Cambodia in August 2017 and he believed there was zero chance the UK authorities will extradite Yingluck to Thailand.

[Thongkorn]

Has anyone got her Phone Number in the uK.

This additional photo was posted on the tnews.co.th website back in 11/11/17 claiming to have been taken on the escalators at Selfridges in London. Does look a bit photoshopped though.

The story claimed she was lying low in London while awaiting the result of her asylum application there.

 

I doubt whether she has sought asylum.It's a long complicated process and she doesn't need to do it.

See here:

Fugitive former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra is still waiting to hear if she will be granted political asylum status in the United Kingdom, a source from Pheu Thai Party said on Sunday
