Well, he's got a sense of humor: ""I may be not a perfect man but I reaffirm that I am as bad as some accused of being." -Thaksin

Today is not my day : Thaksin
By The Nation
Ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra said Monday he decided to go into exile in England because of security threats to him and his family, as well as unfair treatment in the country's judicial system.
In his statement read out on a state-run NBT TV channel, Thaksin said he and his family will remain in exile in England indefinitely and did not say when he would return to the country.
He accused the country's legal system of employing "double standard" in their proceeding with legal matters against him and his family.
The former premier said he and his family have repeatedly received death threats and that they had to travel in bullet-proof cars.
Thaksin said at first he thought the election result of February 23, which saw the People Power Party (PPP), many of whose members came from his now defunct Thai Rak Thai Party, came out victoriously would help "improve the situation".
Therefore he decided to return to Thailand on February 28, thinking that the situation would be favourable and "permits me to prove my innocence."
"But the situation has worsened. What has happened to me is like a poisoned fruits that came from a poisoned tree," Thaksin said.
He claimed there were "intervention in judicial system" that originated from intervention by dictatorship who has hidden agenda to "get rid of me and my family".
"These individuals see me as political enemy. They have no consideration to judicial system, truth and legal principle."
"My family and I have been continuously treated unjustly.
Thaksin apologised to his supporters for having to go into exile and asked them to remain committed to him.
"These are all results of my tireless effort to help the country. I apologise for having to seek relocation to England. I ask that all my supporters to remain with me a bit longer," Thaksin said.
Thaksin said he revealed the whole truth at an appropriate time, saying "Today is not my day."
Thaksin said he and his family remain loyal to the Monarchy "even though some have tried to accuse me of being other wise."
"I may be not a perfect man but I reaffirm that I am as bad as some accused of being. If good fortune were on my side I would like to return to Thailand and die there like all other Thai people.
It was not clear if Thaksin will seek political asylum in the United Kingdom where he owns the Manchester City football club

Supreme Court issues arrest warrants against Thaksin, wife
The Supreme Court Monday issued arrest warrants against former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his wife, Khunying Pojaman.
The Supreme Court issued the warrants after the couple fled to England instead of returning to Thailand to attend a court hearing in the Ratchadapisek land purchase case.
The Supreme Court's Criminal Tribunal for Holders of Political Positions said the couple broke their promise to return to the country to attend the trial so the courts issued arrest warrants against them.

Which now places England in a tough spot - he'd have been better fleeing to France or Italy 
I wonder how this will play out in England - obviously, extradition requests will need to be made from Thailand, and we'll see how serious the Thai governmnet really is -- as the simplest way right now, would be to cancel and suspend Thaksin's passports, making it nearly impossible for him to travel anywhere else, except back to Thailand (unless he accepts another country's citizenship).

Thaksin announces his decision to seek asylum in England
Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra announced his decision to seek a political asylum in England in a faxed statement to NBT Channel
The station read Thaksin's statement at about 11:50 am.
The former prime minister said he had to flee to England because he and his family did not receive justice in courts, which had been interfered by his political opponents.
He said there were also attempts to assassinate him.
The former prime minister said he could not trust in the current political system because the coup makers had retained their dictatorial grip through their proxies.

It all looks pre-planned and calculated to me.
I figure Thaksin is smarter than me and I would have been smart enough to make sure in advance that I would not get extradited from the country I was seeking refuge in - to quote the Dark Knight's Joker "It's all part of the plan".
