Briton In Red Shirt Protest Threatens To Burn Down Thai Shopping Mall: Shopping Mall Burns Down
HERE’S Jeff Savage, of Tonbridge in Kent and Thailand’s Red Shirt International Brigade, vowing to burn down a Bangkok shopping centre. A few days later and Central World was alight.
People used to travel to Thailand for the weed, spectacular scenery, child porn and those noodles – now they go for the ultra violence. Let no-one accuse the Thais of resting on their laurels.
Says Mr Savage, 48, a victim of nominative determinism:
“I hold my hands up — it was me, and I’m ashamed that I lost my temper. I was tired and emotional and full of steroids. I said we’re going to burn down Central — I was being sarcastic.”
See if you can spot the sarcasm:
Says he, possibly with sarcasm:
“I was not involved [in either arson attack], it was far too dangerous. But from what I heard it was some of the guards which did it to Central. I heard rumours that it was planned and that stuff had been put inside — gas canisters and stuff. It didn’t just go off because someone put a lighter to it… I don’t mind if they knock on my door and throw me out of the country. But I would be disappointed to end up in a Thai jail.”
That would be disappointing…
