Added to which, there is the awful spectre of the Met and FCO doing a deal with the Thais at the highest level to fob both families off with some clap-trap about a 'fair trial' etc etc.

There are so many loose ends in this case that someone is going to trip over one of them and fall flat on his face.

I don't think the Thais have the slightest notion of what this 'verdict' will do to the country's reputation or tourism over the coming months. The shit will definitely hit the fan for months, if not years, to come.
