jayboy Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 (edited) There's not much diplomats can do.However the German Ambassador expressed outrage in a way that recognized the tragedy of the Netiporn case. The British Ambassador's response was anemic, disappointing as I rate him quite highly. Edited May 17 by jayboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prayers achieve nothing. Deeds do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
