Ik lees net een bericht dat de heer en mevrouw S. ergens in Azie verblijven en dat Engeland hun visa heeft ingetrokken, zodat ze niet meer terugkunnen.
Lijkt me erg goed nieuws, hoewel er wel weer een bananenrepubliek zal zijn, waar ze kunnen onderduiken. Dat lukt wel met zoveel geld
UK revokes former Thai PM's visa
Former prime minister Thaksin retains support in rural areas of Thailand
The British government has revoked the visas of the former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his wife.
An e-mail sent to airlines from the British embassy in Bangkok told them not to allow the couple to board flights to Britain.
Mr Thaksin was deposed in a military coup in 2006, and travelled to Britain.
He has since been convicted by a Thai court on corruption charges and sentenced in absentia to two years. His wife faces three years for tax evasion.
Mr Thaksin is thought to be travelling in East Asia - a week ago he made a telephone address to more than 60,000 supporters packed into a Bangkok sports stadium.
For much of the past two years Mr Thaksin and his family have lived in the UK.
He has not only invested in expensive properties here but also bought Manchester City Football Club, which he sold in August.
Following the withdrawal of their visas Mr Thaksin and his wife will now be forced to find a new home.
