Another tragic loss of 4 lives. This is not the moment to discuss helmets and driving proficiency. RIP
Condolences and RIP in all sincerity but let not the loss of these lives be totally in vain yet again.
It is sad, I do not mean to take that away from a terrible accident. But also, i sometimes do have enough of people saying "and no helmet". Surely they should thinking about prevention of accidents instead of thinking wearing a helmet would have helped. (Maybe even a "proper" one)
Bad driving, bad roads are the cause, not not wearing a helmet.
I beg to differ - about 20 years ago a driver pulled out onto a highway (100km/h) limit in front of me with 15m distance to go and opposite flowing traffic in the next lane - I flew over his hood and did the slide and bounce for a good 50-60m - my Arai kevlar and carbon fibre composite helmet certainly stopped my brains getting splattered all over that road (judging by the gouges and grooves in it later. Also my jacket with kevlar reinforcing strips along spine and elbows prevented injury there - I got out of it with just a broken leg.
Safety equipment when riding a motorbike is not optional - it's life-saving.

This came up some time ago and it is just a continuation on the same theme.
She is just smart enough to cause trouble,
but not smart enough, or too smarting from loss of face to just drop it
and walk away with a modest settlement.
She just can't understand that she has to call it a day,
and clearly has some advisor / lawyer hoping for a cut of the profits,
telling her to fight it to the last dregs of common sense.
The same attitude that makes her fight UK right into the EU courts
is likely the same reason he wants nothing more to do with her;
a right total pain in the arse, who is showing her true colors;
give me, and my lawyer, more money, and we go away,
if not....
Sure this is reading between the lines, but the lines kinda jump out at you.
She's 'going to kill herself on Valentines Day in front of the British Embassy'
over a divorce she can do right here? Bollocks. This is a publicity stunt,
because yet again she isn't being allowed back into UK to raise a ruckus there.

Why would you apply for a spousal visa when your spouse has already dropped you in the poop once. Of course no absolute guarantee that she would get it, but presuming she has an ok job and some cash she should be able to get the visa no problem.
Also to petition the court for divorce, she probably doesn't need to be personally in the country. If she places the divorce petition in the court through a lawyer, and shows the embassy she has to attend the court, I presume the embassy has very little right to refuse the visa application.
Sorry a lot of presumptions, but having been removed from the country whilst apparently in possession of a spousal visa, why would anyone go down the route of re-asking? One wonders if she has got advice from Somchais visa service???
She is smart enough to know that having been refused 2 Visas,she has exhausted all further appeals,and is now entitled to take her case the the European Court of Human Rights,for a final appeal. and European Courts have an atrocious reputation for bad decisions in favour of claimants who have no real grievances in the first place.
On the other side of the coin,this is the same legal system that refused UK Pensioners Annual Increases on their Pensions,because they are living abroad,and non Resident in the UK.And were quite happy to deprive pensioners of their Human rights to an annual increase,that they have worked all their lives for.
The European Court in Strasburg is a wooly minded liberal organisation that have passed many stupid decisions over the years.
So in this case: hope for a sensible Verdict,but expect the worst,it's that simple,and heavily loaded against common sense.
To the winner the spoils!

Chr**t are we nuts in Europe,,,,this rag gets to the UK Immigration board and the European Human rights court?? Are we for real??? Guess who pays for all of this?
She has deserted her husband , has no intention of living with him and she has rights???? The mind boggles and blood boils.
A foreigner trying to stay in Thailand??
Fraudently stripped of his assets, usually by a Thai partner/"wife"...(see A Drummonds other well informed articles)
Thrown into jail
Blacklisted
We have absolutely no rights at all here. This is just so unbalanced and so unjust for all of the foreigners cheated and conned and defrauded in Thailand..

Yes, it is sad that some of the posters here blame the victim(the guy) and side with the perpetrator of the fraud.
Even worse when the courts and human rights organizations also side with the perpetrator of the fraud.
