Thaksin says "No Way"

Thaksin and wife at Man City
Today, ex Thailand PM Thaksin Shinawatra says he is not going to go back to Thailand to answer the corruption charges laid against him by the Thai military junta. He as hired a top lawyer firm in the UK (Wont be cheap) to fight extradition.

He says he as no charges to answer to and these are only political motivated accusations. He may be right, I wouldn't have thought the junta would like to close an inspection into some of their affairs!

Also Thaksin is the hero of Man City fans at the moment, two wins out of two promotes him to demi-god. I also believe that the UK goverment is unlikely to send him back on political charges especially being as Thailand is ruled by a military junta and is not democratic.
