I DID IT MY WAY
Dr Thaksin's Krazy Guide To Fair Play*: How To Sneak Your Team Into
Euro Vase (with a little help from Human Rights Watch (
http://guardian.chtah.com/a/tBIJHP5AY30QpAe9jDFAcNSfvse/fvr14 ))
1) Become prime minister of Thailand.
2) Declare war on the horrifying drug trade by issuing the following
horrifying statement: "There is nothing under the sun which the Thai
police cannot do."
3) Sigh in contentment as 87 people are killed in the first week of
the war on drugs. Practise Frank Sinatra impression.
4) Open the papers to discover that the latest victim of the war on
drugs is a nine-year-old shot when police fired at a car carrying him
and his mother (police claim a third party shot at the victim's car).
Do not reflect on how fair it is for a nine-year-old to get a bullet
in the skull. Instead, practise Frank Sinatra impression.
5) Listen as a UN official expresses "deep concern at reports of more
than 100 deaths in Thailand in connection with a crackdown on the
drug trade".
6) Fire off memo reading: "Do not worry about this. The UN is not my
father."
7) Declare "victory" on war on drugs. Ignore the 2,275 people that
have been killed in said war. Ruminate on fact that since the start
of the campaign homicide rate in Thailand has doubled. Practise Frank
Sinatra impression.
8) Read US state department report that Thailand's human rights record
has "worsened with regard to extrajudicial killings and arbitrary
arrests". Practise Frank Sinatra impression.
9) Dismiss the United States an "annoying friend". Pesky Americans!
10) Decide to restore battered international standing by identifying
sleeping giant.
11) Check sleeping giant isn't a drug dealer.
12) Pass Premier League's fit and proper person's test with flying
colours despite Amnesty International saying that "Thaksin did
preside over some very serious human rights violations".
13) Watch as Human Rights FC do the double over Manchester United. Try
to ignore ghost of nine-year-old child whispering in your ear by
humming upbeat version of Blue Moon.
14) Make moves to sack perfectly good manager despite the fact that
his players, the fans, Bob Carolgees and 99.789% of the population of
the universe thinks he is doing a good job.
15) Smile in satisfaction as it looks like your team will be given a
place in next season's Euro Vase for, get this, FAIR PLAY!!!!!!!!!
16) Relax in warm bath of chutzpah and irony whistling My Way.
*Fair Play may involve extra-judicial killings and knee-jerk sackings
of competent, if unspectacular, managers.
