"He'll be ........."etc etc etc".

 

All of these forecasts are probably from the people who said "There's no way that Thaksin will ever come back to Thailand unless he has a Royal Pardon first".

But the truth of the matter is that he is here in Thailand (Unless it's a Doppelganger) - sorry to spoil your theories,

but that's all they are.

By the way, I'm neither a Thaksin or Government supporter, merely making a comment on the way this post is progressing.  

I agree. The haters have been chasing their tails for the past few months whilst spouting their medical knowledge.

I hope Mr T goes back to jail for the short term then comes out and says that he forgives those who stitched him up on charges brought before a judiciary who were compliant to the wishes of the illegal military junta.

That scenario would have the hate mob's heads exploding.

A done deal even before he dared to set foot back in Thailand.

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.

 

Evidence of "feign (sic) sickness" please. So the doctors are liars eh?

Probably perfect for the way Thailand is shaping up. More weed shops than 7-11s. The drugs economy is just getting rolling.

And Anutin is making sure of that!

Semantics.

 

It is a partial (87.5%) pardon.

A commutation.

Either way, end result is the same.

He very shortly will be a free man.

 

BTW - receiving a full pardon is not the same as being exonerated, in fact, admitting guilt and showing remorse are common prerequisites for receiving a pardon.

That was indeed semantic.

 I would hazard a guess that even the doctors in Thailand will be told what to say in a high profile case like this! After all, Mr T has had his sentence reduced from 10 years to 8 years to 1 year all in a matter of days, despite all the rules and regulations saying that he must serve a minimum of x years before he can even be considered for any kind of pardon or reduction of sentence! The system stinks!

Name a Thai PM that doesn’t.

If you can’t, then what’s your point?
