It is a lot easier to face a court when you know that you have done nothing wrong.

Something not many in the PTP/Thaksin camp can do...

...but...but...but...the reds and Thaksin....

If the shoe fits...

Abhisit is probably the most honest PM this country has ever had

“In the name of reconciliation the names of stories of these people has been swept under the rug. Their real lives and souls may never be recognized again, even to their children in some cases. Justice was also buried. The “reconciliation Thai style” is the sacrifice of justice and the suspension of rule of law that could incriminate the ruling elite and their networks – a group that has been in power since the mid-1970s despite changes of governments, parliaments, and generations.” - Thongchai Winichakul on the October 6th massacre of 1976 at Thammasat University:

When people are illegally blocking streets they should be arrested and taken away.

What about people blocking Government House or the country's major international airport?

but... but... but... the democrats PAD...

I read this more as "Come protest all you want to - I'm only saying don't just for show! <snigger snigger>"

But... But... But... the Democrats...!!??!?!

Too ill? Too scared and made himself sick i suspect

I thought the correct term was Seppuku, not hari kari - lol

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seppuku

fine. i think it is fair if people are honest like you are and say that they do not believe in democracy and want a dictator. of course do not get angry when the dictatorship does not go as planned. of course the majority of thai people do not share your opinion. they do not want a dictatorship.

Where did i say i do not believe in democracy and favored a Dictator? I think you mis-read/mis-understood

If Yingluck is wise she would take away children of yellow shirts who bring them to a demonstration, they would certainly try to use children as a human shield against police action and take a page out of Suthep's playbook. a life firing zone might do.

Well you are screwed there then - she is far from Wise.

So you are saying the Yellows are not allowed to bring children to the protest? Bit of a double standard i feel as the Reds were allowed to do that! Considering PTP and The Red Shirt movement's campaign slogan of being against double standards, they seem to be guilty of many double standards so far. Hypocrisy at its finest!

I heard the same thing and the room is next to the room hosting the Jack Daniels exhibition. Must be why we haven't seen DP Chalerm today.

Are you implying that the DPM Chalerm is drunk? Surely not, its just medicine for an ear infection that has persisted for the last 30 years, is it not?

They have successfully turned what would have been a peaceful, short, trouble free rally into something that could now prove highly problematic.

I see that someone drank and kool aid. What is the point of a peaceful trouble free protest? Isn't the entire point to occupy and demand that a democratically elected government quit because you can't win an election?

Not too dissimilar to what the Reds did back in 2010... except it wasn't trouble/violence free

PM working as usual at Govt House, not attending Senate debate in Parliament

as usual, indeed.

.

I hear the latest Jimmy Choo exhibition is taking place i none of the conference rooms at Government house.

Of course vote buying goes on in the West. It may not be so brazen as handing out banknotes, but socialist parties promise more handouts to the underclasses while capitalist parties promise tax cuts to workers. It is not asdirect as in Thailand but the reasoning is to buy your vote.

That's not vote buying - that's electoral promises and campaign pledges.

But, for the sake of argument, lets work on the basis that *IS* vote buying.

Rice Scheme, Tablets for School Kids, First Car/House Scheme is blatant and brazen vote buying on behalf of the PTP government who effectively 'bought' the election both with sponsorship money (Thaksin's 500b per vote) and Tax payers

money.

ANTI-GOVT RALLY

Govt trusts police to control protest

The Nation

Worries Army will favour protesers; ISA enforced in some areas of city

Because the police favor the Red Shirts already... this is well known

Protestors? When drivers, maids and out of town folks attend to get fed and paid to attend, isnt that called temporary employment, moonlighting?

Um, you just described red shirt supporters, not yellows...

Depends who is footing the bills on the day...

A mini cabinet of 9 Red Shirt trouble makers will be in control. God help us all if this bunch is in control of anything.

Well they already instigated the ISA even though the government has been denying its needed etc for the past few days.

Looks like trouble ahead

" .... He said 23,000 civilian volunteers will also be on standby at 192 Bangkok police stations. ...."

Are they going to wear red or black shirts?

Probably wear yellow and cause trouble, so as to blame them

So tell me again why Abhisit was wrong to use this when the rhetoric was "Burn it if we don't get what we want!" and almost every day more explosive rounds were being fired, and yet this government is in order when nothing of the sort is in the wind - at least not from them.

The Red Government employs double-standards - which as i remember was one of their campaign points during the Red Riots.

When it does - the result will be far from 1 million lol. But if they reach 100,000 it will be impressive.

Still, that will be twice the size of the Red Shirt Riots tho

Wow - another governmental U-Turn

Mini cabinet approves enforcement of Internal Security Act at Dusit, Phra Nakhon, Pom Prap districts on Nov 22-30 /MCOT

Parliament Speaker: Strict security measures in place in response to anti-govt rally; 1,200 police deployed to ensure safety /MCOT

They are trying to shut down the protests - that doesn't seem very democratic to me.

Another case of "Do As I Say, Not As I Do" double standards for the Red Government - after all, only they are allowed to hold protests to oust a government, nobody else is allowed to do that!
