"Noppadon Pattama said yesterday that it depended on the government whether to invite Thaksin to join the proposed political reform forum."

Poor old Noppadon can't quite grasp the concept of criminality ( a drawback in a lawyer) or that his client would not only be arrested for his current conviction, but also charged with other serious offences. Perhaps Thaksin could be granted a temporary amnesty to come here and tell us what he thinks about an amnesty for convicted criminals. I'm sure we would be amazed at what he has to say.

Why would he need a temporarily amnesty for that, has his Skype account been suspended ?

Tony Blair to advise on reconcillation and reform? Like asking Dracula how to improve blood donating.

Actually I would have thought Tony Blair could make a slight but useful contribution in private discussions rather than in a public forum.But there are two problems.Firstly the achievement in Northern Ireland has been oversold since it more or less ignored the middle ground and effectively handed power to extremists.Thus its long term soundness remains unsure.Secondly, Tony Blair is as near mad as makes no difference.Mathew Parris the maverick but highly perceptive ex-Tory MP saw this problem before most of us, as far back as 1994.Amusingly quite recently when Parris was asked about the difference between Blair and Gordon Brown he said in the case of Tony Blair madness was a metaphor.In the case of Gordon Brown it was a diagnosis.
