Money can't buy Thaksin love.Suck eggs, Mr Moral Midget

An anonymous multi-billionaire mopes around in London,

hoping (in vain) to spot a ‘Bangkok Post’ newspaper.

Thaksin Shinawatra, increasingly disillusioned by all his ill-gotten wealth, suddenly realizes that he’s yearning for a bowl of decent "Khao Soi Gai". We can verify that it’s rare to get that around Kensington. On the other hand, Thaksin's stolen enough money from the Thai people to fly in a chef in his personal jet several times a week if he decided he wanted Khao Soi Gai badly enough.

Thaksin's relying on the sympathy factor now - it's all he's got left. If he’d been morally upright and paid his tax like everyone else, he could have avoided this humiliating exile. He's always been a CEO, never a statesman or Prime Minister.

Not welcome back in Thailand. Go and eat Bangers & Mash in an English pub, Bovver Boy.

Here's a potted history of some of Thaksin’s stunts: There are 3 short articles on one page during February - April 2006, 9 September, and more recent ones on 20 September (the day after the military coup), 5 October, and 13 October. These articles don't include the summary street executions of about 2,500 Thais during Thaksin's notorious 'War on Drugs'.

Stop Press: Thaksin's 2 children have today been slapped with a 30-day deadline for their tax bill of 5.8 billion baht... and that's not including any fines (yet!). That's great news for Thai people. Woo-hoo!
