I read it twice - just don't seem to discover ANY news-value here?

I think other UK people may agree - most of the rich upper crust are a bit loony so nothing he may do would be surprising !

 

No I would not agree with this remarkably ignorant statement.The fact that they are rich upper crust and not hard up tattooed ex sex tourists living with “family” in some Isaan dump suggests the opposite.

Seems a decent, if a bit eccentric, fellow. Good for him. I wish the couple much happiness.

Sorry, my wife corrects me, saying that the photo below is of Palumbo and Kwan.... even though the text below it refers to Pim.

Who cares? Fake news. If true, a few bob will be trimmed off his fortunes.

Must be a slow news day

who cares if he is a Lord or whatever

Lord Palumbo of Southwark, eh? Yeah, and I'm Lord Snooty of Snooty Magna, and these are my pals.

Does UK have penalties for those who do not respect the royals?  If so, does it includes guys like this?

 

 

Who is not respecting the UK royals, and how?  The answer to your question is that anyone can say anything they like about the royals without fear of any consequences.

Here's a Thai version of the story, with what I believe may be a photo of Palumbo and Pim:

Now it all makes sense. Flawless complexion, soft alluring eyes, long elegant jaw with a cute mouth and a button nose. That whippet's sure cleaned up great! 

"Seven years ago James bought 50 acres of farmland in Nakhon Nayok, a two-hour drive north of Bangkok and the home town of his best friend Rawipim Paijit, who he lives with in London."

 

Are foreigners allowed to buy land in Thailand already? Or one needs to be a lord to do that?

From a 1997 Independant article.....

 

He is feeling irritated after a disagreeable dining experience the night before with a young female Cambridge undergraduate. He had set her a test worthy of King Lear, with an anecdote about a friend of his - a multi-millionaire - who had offered his son any fast car he wanted to swan around in while at Oxford. "He could have had any flash car, Ferrari, GTi, to speed around in," says Palumbo. "Do you know what he said? He said he'd rather use public transport." Palumbo had asked the Cambridge girl what she thought of the young man's decision. "She said it was stupid of him - he should have bought a top-of-the-range car. I was very disappointed. To me, that sort of attitude precisely sums up the way young Leftie students look at the world."

 

?????... I bet he’s gotten over that attitude!

“Harold and the pornstar”..... the family friendly version.????

Assuming the OP article is true, inquiring minds would have to wonder just how the two of them may have come together.... The range of possibilities boggles...

 

--they both love the doggies, or doggie....

 

--they met when he was doing BKK clubbing and she was a young actress/model...

 

--he's a hopeless addict for older Thai lakorns....

 

--ThaiFriendly site....

 

What else could it be???

I don't believe even UK lords get any special exemption from the Thais in that area...

 

Presumably, it's the standard farang version translation of the reality being... I gave her the money and she bought the land in her name... 

 

Although, they also could have done it thru a company structure since they're using the location as the dogs shelter and formed some kind of nonprofit organization to handle that work.

 

 

never heard of the guy until today, although obviously heard of MOS and been there and have bought a few CD's in the past. Have read a bit about him and he actually seems alright, bit of a character

Nope! We have total freedom of speech in the UK.....Except when it comes to inciting crime/violence.

I have a sneaking suspicion that girls aren't really his primary love interest. I reckon he prefers to bat for the other side so to speak.

Its not really hard to imagine: Meeting through mutual friends....   It is highly possible that he had made many Thai friends during his time here in Thailand and through these friend he met many others and ultimately was introduced to the lady in question.... 

 

This is how many people meet and is quite normal...

Yeah, that's a mean pot shot at the rich right there, which is normally understandable, but if the guy's using some of his wealth to help wretched animals not have such wretched lives in Thailand, that's kind of hard not to like.
