So what does our Dearest, Prettiest PM actually do? Apart from a few photo ops and embarress herself and the whole country by fawning over and flirting with President Obama?

Spared from legal problems? How about derliction of duty? This PM has done nothing for the country!

Round up all corrupt politicians and officals (civil servants, police, military etc) regardless of political affiliation, put them in a big field and drop a few bombs on them...

Who ever is left, round them up and start a coalition government... or if there isnte nough politicians left, re-instate full Monacy rule.

He claimed that there have been offers at Bt1,000-2,000 each to rural people to join the mass rally on Saturday.

Hmmm I wonder if this is enough money to encourage many redshirts to abandon their leaders and join the protest.

The going rate for a Redshirt these days is a simple "Fulfilled Promise" i am told

All it would take to keep the reds at home is for Weng to say "no 500 Baht to attend". There wouldn't a one of them show up.

Except the ones who misheard/misunderstood the message

She looks good in those professional shots, but in that earlier pix attached to this thread... not so much.

Lets hope the protestors are not intimidated by the Red Police and are allowed to join the gathering unhindred (unlike last time)

The only Troll on this tread is the subject matter

Love that last para.........

The Cult of Thaksin being inculcated in schools........

Are we accelerating towards a neo marxist state ??

What would you call an attempt to brain wash children in school?

Red Policy: Do as i say, not as i do.

The minister went on to say that the committee should examine the pros and cons of consenting to the ICC's jurisdiction on a one-off basis in order to ensure justice for victims of the bloodshed.

He also quoted Bensouda as saying that even if the consent was granted, it would not be seen as an international treaty and could be revoked at any time.

So, according to this article, they can pick and choose which incidents will be investigated and which will not. Don't expect Bak Thai or the war on drugs to be referred to them anytime soon!

Can anyone say "Political Tool"

Wonder how the ICC will feel about that, once it realizes its being played...

in all of the post above, who or what is RT ?

RT is Retweet (as in re post someone else s tweet)

Thaksin Shinawatra agrees to run and hide like a little girl

I would ask him... "How do you sleep at night?"

Inciting people to break the law, any law, is ordinarily illegal in most countries. But then TIT.

If he incited everyone to litter the street, presumably that would be illegal......

So we would expect the majority of the Red Shirt leaders to get tried for Inciting their Protestors back in 2010 to "burn down Bangkok" etc?

Somehow methinks that just ain't gunna happen

I always thought that if they know there is a plot, that means they must know the source, so what's the problem.

Or maybe they just heard it from a man in the bar ?

They read it on Thaivisa

Assassination attempt? We ain't that lucky...

Potentially, but what is? corruption seems so ingrained into the society, that until some honest people step up to the plate and start taking a stand, then it doesn't matter who is governing the country be it a party or the army, nothing much will change.

I dont really have answers, just thought i'd throw that comment out there and see what happens. All options seem as bad as each other.

Sooner or Later Thaksin will turn this country into the Republic of Thakland, unless someone steps up and does something about it.

Typical Shinawatra - pays lip-service and lies through her teeth.

Maybe Democracy isn't the right model for this country anyway?

After the unfortunate period of military junta dictatorship in thailand, it is very refreshing to see the mechanics of democratic government process in action, however tainted the opposition party.

Is there any limit to the amount of no confidence motions the opposition are allowed to put forward? When the House mathematics show they cannot win such a vote. The job of the opposition is to scrutinise and oppose legislation, not impede the working of the house with pointless censure debates.

How many no-confidence motions have their been during this government?
