Yingluck may seek asylum in the UK

SUNDAY, AUGUST 27, 2017

“Thaksin has long prepared an escape plan for his sister. He would not allow his sister to spend even a single day in prison,” said the source, who requested anonymity, according to The Sunday Nation’s front-page report.

What a joke.
The junta more or less admits to knowing about YS’s escape plan? (of course, they knew, they probably escorted her to the border themselves) and at the same time tells the press they couldn’t understand how she “slipped away”.
There was never a chance in hell she would be allowed to spend a day in a Thai prison.
And they want people to believe the whole debacle isn’t politically motivated/orchestrated? Yeah right...

The whole point, of it all, is nothing to do with Yingluck or rice. It’s ALL about politics.

Spending the rest of one’s life in Dubai would be akin to life in a Thai prison, I’d reckon. She’ll be going elsewhere for sure.

Do they know how ignorant this makes them look? If any of it is true and I doubt it all ....Then the clowns in charge should not be buying submarines but instead invest in a radar.

Asylum. What a joke, she is guilty of at the very least criminal negligence, or looking the other way to frankly unchecked corruption by those in her party. As a UK citizen I would be disgusted if she were to be granted asylum, especially when there are many hundreds of thousands of innocent people fleeing actual harm in their home nations.
Can only keep repeating that this woman is not the victim of anything that wasn’t of her own making. She is fleeing rightful criminal prosecution, and that should provide no grounds for asylum whatsoever.

Ah, Britain. The best place to claim asylum. Not the best place for spouses to apply for residency.

She’s wealthy,so if she requests asylum in London,she will fit
right in with the Russian oligarchs, many of whom have iffy backgrounds.
