Yingluck visa shows premier’s view is not shared by the UK

The implication of this is that the UK specifically, and several other countries in general, do not recognise the legitimacy of the court case against her.
Thailand, if you want to have international respect for your country and system of justice, you need to have a respectable system of justice and put an end to these “show trials” where political opponents are brought down. The proper way to hand over power from one government to the next is through an election.

I don’t think the specifics of the court case had any bearing on the decision to issue her with a visa. It was about the authority of a court under a military leadership trying to criminally charge the PM they ousted in a coup.
I doubt the decision was a tough one. It would have been more shocking if they had refused her visa.

Ouch! This has to hurt the military junta and its two supporters. Contrary to what Prayut believes, the world doesn’t support his military rule and sees Yingluck as a political refugee.

She can reside in Knightsbridge,  with other super-rich expats from Asia, The Middle East, and Russia most of whom achieved their wealth through corrupt and dubious means that left millions of their fellow countrymen starving and internally impoverished. Once in the UK they can, and usually do, indulge in a vulgar and risable display of riches which is the very antithesis of good taste and reserve, those rare qualities that can only come from a good upbringing, solid learning, a sense of history, class, and dignity.
