Purdey Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 10 hours ago, Liverpool Lou said: After Fulham and Liverpool turned him down. After selling the club he was dismissed as Honourary President because of his criminal conviction and being on the run. How far did he get with his request for asylum in the UK? The British authorities weren't asked to extradite him to Thailand! Everything you wrote about Liverpool and Fulham seems completely irrelevant. As i wrote, he was welcomed with open arms when he arrived. That a military junta later tried him in abstentia and found him guilty (a forgone conclusion if they were to justify the coup), the UK still did not arrest him or return him to Thailand. In fact he was able to visit several countries later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damrongsak Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Taksin should build a new prison and donate it to the government. He could have a fancy penthouse suite for himself which would be for use by prison staff after he is released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singapore regularly extradites people who have committed no crimes in Singapore to the jurisdictions where they are alleged to have committed a crime. Why are they not extraditing Thaksin? Poor, poor Louie - it seems you have no understanding of how international diplomacy works. ???????????? When Thaksin’s daughter wins the upcoming election and becomes PM, Thaksin will once again be striding the world stage as he pleases, meeting and greeting heads of state regularly - exactly as happened when his sister won in 2011. Prayuth on the other hand, will be an international pariah until he draws his last breath - no trumped up charges or convictions required.
