N47HAN Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Ok so I except it is to be proven in a court of law, however Toxin is under serious allegations of fraud. We know that , he knows that , and Mr. Blair KNOWS that so what do we do...... Welcome him in VIP style and he is allowed to stay "several months" We could learn some lessons here from the Thais I reckon. ( Just putting my opinion forward about how LAX the U.K is ) Would this apply to a normal citizen under allegations and was wanted to answer questions back in their homeland, ?Would the UK allow them in if they were aware as much as they are about him ?

britmaveric Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Well Thaskin was never charged with anything, so why would they deny him entry. He'll get asylum like every other asylum seeker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

libya 115 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 If Thaksin does remain in the U.K. then Bill Monson will pursue him and things might become unpleasant. When money is involved some people get nasty, and London is just the place for nasty things to happen to nasty people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool Water Palace Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 (edited) . He'll get asylum like every other asylum seeker. Well now, see my entry on the "are you still coming" topic about Zimbabweans, most of whom in my experience and perception are amongst the most honourable and worthy people in the world (as a general rule, I emphasise), if not influenced by Mugabe's cronies and CIO, either for the oppressors or trying to survive.

sbk Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Thats the man. Apparently his case got thrown out for going over the statute of limitations because Thaksin managed to delay the case so long as to make it go over the statute (ex: he left the country when his court date was scheduled).

ThaiPauly Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 If he is not PM any more and has not asked for assylum the sureley he MUST have a Visa? Even if its for visiting relatives this is a requirement. Typical! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Eventually, it will be up to the country to file charges against Thaksin and request his extradition (or for him to return) to face those charges. He is innocent until proven guilty. It might also be hard for this to happen as long as the constitution is suspended, since many of his issues appear to be constitutional issues. At any rate, I am sure with his money (as with nearly everyone and nearly everywhere), he will have few problems remaining in Britain. And for him, I think a visa run is called a holiday!

Sing_Sling Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I am sure he will have a diplomatic passport thus negating the need for a visa. Incorrect. Diplomatic status is only conferred tot the bearer in the country he works. e.g. You only have diplomatic status in one country, the country you are posted to. Anywhere else you are not allowed to use your diplomatic credentials and either use a normal travel document or your dip pass with no priviledges. (Both father and brother are diplomats - call it inside knowledge) Thakisn does not have diplomatic status as he is no longer head of government and if he is travelling on a diplomatic passport it is no longer valid and he has eneterd the UK on an invalid travel document.

taxexile Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 he has eneterd the UK on an invalid travel document. thats an interesting , if somewhat pedantic , point. the uk doesnt have a visa on arrival system , if his diplomatic status was not recognised , then how did he get in. i would imagine that with business interests and investments in the uk and europe he already has some kind of "leave to remain" as well as any diplomatic status. has the uk formally accepted the coup leaders as the governing authority in thailand yet ?

GuestHouse Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 GET OFF YOUR BAR STOOLS LADS It might, if you give it a little thought, occur to you that it is in the very best interests of Thailand right now that Thaksin is out of the country and that by accepting Thaksin into the UK the British are doing something possitive to help the current turmoil cool down. The coup and the subsequent government have a string huge tasks ahead of them, not least of which is dismantling the controls Thaksin placed over the levers of power in Thailand. Having Thaksin holed up in the UK while that happens is good news for Thailand. Perhaps you'd rather Thaksin were sent back to Thailand where he might call on his undeniably large popular support base in rural Thailand to futher stir the sh1t and keep Thailand in the turmoil it's been going through for the last two years?! Nah, leave him where he is and let things settle down so Thailand can get on track. /rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YO..did he get a visa on entry in the UK OR CAN HE STAY BECAUSE HE'S GOT LOADS OF LOLLY??? If he comes back to Thailand will he have to answer the original question he was first asked when he became PM? "where did your money come from"? He did not answer...... It will be interesting to see if he will be tried for giving the ok to extraditually(can't spell) kill all the so called drug dealers 3 years ago.Also giving the ok to kill the unarmed muslims in the south? Will mr. Blair turn a blind eye because he was Mr. bushs friend..?????Too many unanswered questions..HEY nots let forget all the buddies he has.......... GOOD LUCK TO THE ARMY HERE!!

Sing_Sling Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Actually, Rinrada, that is incorrect. Technically, as well as practically of course, Thaksin is no longer head of anything to do with ruling Thailand. The world's governing bodies have put Thailand into a state of 'neither here nor there' - a type of oblivion, if you wish. The head of state is till the King and he has endorsed the new system. There are not only democracies at the UN . . . I'm sure it will take some time for the websites to change, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krayner Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 And why does the UK give asylam to this guy, Akhmed Zakayev, a former Chechen leader who is wanted by the Russians for murder. It is particularly galling to British citizens who can't get their wives or chilldren here but we will accept ex terrorists and murderers. I would also love somebody from the Government to explain to me how we can put Saddam Hussain on trial but we wouldn't put Pinocet on trial. By comparison, Thaksin is a pussy cat.
