Come back, fanfare, show his face in court, feign sickness, go to hospital, plead health issues, get a doctors note, private room, application for a pardon on medical grounds. Back at the Thaksin residence in less than a month.

He compensated the damaged parties - fail. He will never do it again - fail. He was already a substantial time in jail - fail. I am sure we could add 100 other reasons why he doesn't deserve what he asks for. I'm sure he could provide a billion reasons to grant it.

The next election should be a landslide for the Move Forward party. One does hope the Thai populous can now see the blatant corruption in Thailand and vote for MFP to do something about it.

September 1, 20232 yr Popular Post This guy doesn't even try to hide the fact all this was pre-approved before he arrived. You would have thought they would of quietly put him in a 5 star cell for a month or so before all this.
September 1, 20232 yr Well, that was obscenely quick. What happened to serving 1/3 of your sentence before a petition can be considered?
September 1, 20232 yr Popular Post Thaksin is speed running the judicial system. ...not that it all wasn't in "the script" before he landed.

September 1, 20232 yr Convicted former prime minister Ex-PM Thaksin Shinawatra, who recently began serving an 8-year prison term. At least they got the convicted right, but as for the "recently began serving an 8-year prison term" unless having a cup of tea & a biscuit while a deal is cut constitutes a prison term, maybe they should have just left that part out?

September 1, 20232 yr MFP may have had a chance if their policy had excluded one item in particlar. The deal was done to ensure they would not be able to persue it. Thaksin returns, MFP are blocked by PT and link up with other parties. Thaksin applies for pardon as agreed. MFP removed for certainly the time being. Thaksin gets pardon. was never difficult to see what was happening.

September 1, 20232 yr The 2 tier justice system allow coup leaders to grant their own pardon while others will have to apply for one.
September 1, 20232 yr Popular Post Reflects poorly on the moral authority in Thailand... Hold a 15 year old woman for 50 days without bail for peaceful protest, on a spurious 112 charge. Spring convicted seditionists (Suthep Gang) on bail after 30 hours in jail. Pardon Thaksin, who we've been told since 2006, is criminal who was so bad he had to deposed. Does this sort of erratic behavior make sense to anyone? How can it be defended?
September 1, 20232 yr 14 hours ago, billd766 said: It has nothing at all to do with Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam. The sooner he learns that the better. He doesn't seem to understand that he is not important and he never was. The application has been sent to someone way above his pay grade and position. It seems to me that he cannot let go of the tiny bit of power he had. His actual position, and has been since the election in May, is only a Deputy Prime Minister in a caretaker government. Somewhat akin to an office boy or a gofer. He received (intercepted?) the appeal yesterday. The previous Prime Minister, serenaded by adoring crowds of civil servants left office yesterday. Did no one tell Wissanu?

Some of us are, like you, are able to judge a person beyond corruption crimes, severe human right issues, election fraud and many more crimes. There is sonething good in everyone, right?

September 1, 20232 yr Knowing full well he still has a lot of support from the poor, many of whom will be disappointed if clemency is not granted. Even most sec. 112 offenders are typically granted clemency eventually (usually on he Kings birthday). But after less than 1 month in lockup? You can say this about Thaksin, he is nothing, if he is not bold.
