Thread: The British Embassy has revoked entry visas of Thaksin

    What a discrete way of ...

    ... ridding of him and his wife. I'm sure though there will be other places where he can live.

    Yes very discreet indeed, in fact hats off to the Foreign Office, revoking their visas when they were out of the UK saved them the trouble of trying to deport Toxin as he would have fought it tooth and nail in the British courts dragging it out for months if not years. Toxin is not quite as clever as he likes everyone to believe

    This is such a big story in the UK it hasn't yet been reported here AFAI can verify.

    I'm pleasantly surprised though fear that if he did seek asylum some convention or treaty would force his acceptance.

    This sort of thing will be dealt with by the UK Borders and Immigration Agency i.e. the Home Office, with input from the Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith.

    this is a most unusual action so someone very powerful has ordered this after extraordinary pressure..I mean they wouldn't even throw out Pinochet !.

    still..there's always the South of France or Rio..they'll take anyone in.

    But wasn't Pinochet merely there for medical treatment - and didn't someone try to get him charged with human rights abuses. Not quite the same parallels. Pinochet was also Head of State; Thaksin merely Head of Government

    And Pinochet had influential supporters arguing that he be let go - notably Mrs Thatcher.

    Not even Manchester City fans would now stand up for Thaksin's readmission.
    "The fruits of peace and tranquility... are the greatest goods... while those of its opposite, strife, are unbearable evils. Hence we ought to wish for peace, to seek it if we do not already have it, to conserve it once it is attained, and to repel with all our strength the strife which is opposed to it. To this end individual[s]... and in even greater degree groups and communities are obliged to help one another... from the bond or law of human society." [Marsilio dei Mainardini (c.1275-1342), Defensor Pacis]
