NACC: The case against former prime minister Yingluck is water tight

Sounds like NACC should have been put in charge of flood management.

But to pin the blame on a single "rogue" soldier would be a grave mistake. Rapeepat was just one individual caught up in senseless cyclical violence not confined to vocational schools in Ayutthaya but afflicting institutions all over the country.

I dont think anyone is trying to pin the blame on one soldier but if the account written by the journo is accurate then the little sluggard deserves jail time. Worry about society later.

I fail to see the point of all this, and the paying of hundreds of millions of baht to Lawyers when the result will be, "we the court find you Guilty, sentenced to 15 years, but commuted to 1 day probation because you have never been in prison before". A total waste of time for everyone except the lawyers.

Your idiotic conspiracy theories are not helping anyone. When it is finally found, or at least never appears again, will you admit you are wrong?

There weill be some pathetic faces when the craft is found, for sure, plus the queen is in big shit when its proved she got the sas to murder princess di, not even forgetting the president of usa ordered the twin towers to be blown up, its bloody pathetic, these idiots.Somebody is making good money writing crazy conspiracy books, and the misguided numties follow.

It's not a bad idea though Bernard, writing conspiracy books for a living. I mean it couldn't be any worse than Harry Potter.

But Harry Potter's real............isn't it

What is funny is thinking of the exec taking home 4 samsung washing machines that don't work to his wife. I wonder if he will call samsung to try and get them repaired on the warranty?

Ouch! I wonder who will pay the ship builders for that then!

I think Russia paid already, now they have to refund....

Maybe, I am not sure, but that would make it the first military contract in the world where they pay up front. I guess hey may have made part payment, but not full.

Ouch! I wonder who will pay the ship builders for that then!

Maybe they have done this because they need somewhere to barrack all the soldiers and Army from Scotland when they declare independence in 2 weeks and the only place left is all the old army accommodation in the province. So, cause some trouble, raise the security threat, move in the soldiers

Don't ban the event but bring them on campus and under the supervision of staff.

There's no excuse for violence and bullying.

The staff are part of the problem. They are the ones that say it promotes SOTUS.

Such a sad story. Bullying in any form is to be abhorred. I am a little confused though, the unfortunate lads age is given as 16, but it then says he was at University. How can this be?

There is a 15 year ole girl at the university I teach at. She attended an International school. I forget what she told me but something about the British curriculum and that enabled her to enter the university.

Not trying to be too hard here but as you are a University Teacher it is 'old' and don't you think you should have listened carefully about what she told you? Isn't it of interest to you on a professional basis as to how a 15 year old is accepted in to your University?

I am just glad I now live with my family 7000 miles away.

What Arab allies?????

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for one. You start to doing a little research before making ignorant statements. Google is your friend

So how many troops did Saudi Arabia send to fight in Afghanistan or Iraq?

I know they sent 15 to fight in America on 9/11

Correct, well said ! 15 from Saudi, 2 from UAE, 1 from Egypt and 1 from Lebanon. Not 1 from Iraq and not 1 from Afghanistan. So looking at the numbers which country should have faced the fiercest retribution for 9/11? That's right, the country whose citizens were the only ones flying across the US in the days following 9/11, with a free ticket home! Most curious.

You don't have the slightest idea of who or what I have compassion for, but, after reading your posts for many years, it seems like, to you, those people are nothing but talking points to justify your own need to hate and pat yourself on the back for it.

How Funny!

George Galloway is a menace in many respects. Pity he didn't go further in his rantings. He may well be trying to claim West Bradford as Israel free, but there are parts of the Midlands a little further South that are also 'English Speaking School free", Christian free and whites free. The UK is in serious trouble in some places with its multiculturalism because it is nothing like multicultural. Hatred whipped up by people like Galloway only compound the problem and accelerate racism. Generally the folks in West Bradford are excellent people (and there is no better place to get a good curry!) and I am glad to see from Jingthing's vid that 99% were either ignoring or unaware of Galloway's devisive speech. Segregation, racism, persecution should not be being condoned anywhere by anybody. This is one small rock and we all have a right to live on it.

Jingthing you made me laugh with the video, for the right reasons, so here are some for you. Firstly a video on Galloway from one of the most excellent writers and commentators that existed in the last 50 years - Christopher Hitchens destroys Galloway.

And lastly prepare to cringe. Galloway on Celebrity Big Brother whilst he was still a Member of Parliament. - The cat incident (bring me a bucket!). One of the most embarrassing moments on TV - ever!

It wasn't Iraqis or Taliban either!

But the Taliban did allow Al Qaeda to set up terrorist training camps on their soil in the lead up to 9/11 so...

Which makes it even more remarkable that with the best intelligence service in the world, Colin Powell announced in the second week of May 2001 that the US had just given USD $ 43 Million in cash to the leaders of the Taliban. This article in Junes edition of the Nation in 2001 (not the Bangkok Newspaper !! )

That's the message sent with the recent gift of $43 million to the Taliban rulers of Afghanistan, the most virulent anti-American violators of human rights in the world today. The gift, announced last Thursday by Secretary of State Colin Powell, in addition to other recent aid, makes the United States the main sponsor of the Taliban and rewards that "rogue regime" for declaring that opium growing is against the will of God. So, too, by the Taliban's estimation, are most human activities, but it's the ban on drugs that catches this administration's attention.

Never mind that Osama bin Laden still operates the leading anti-American terror operation from his base in Afghanistan, from which, among other crimes, he launched two bloody attacks on American embassies in Africa in 1998.

My underline!

http://www.thenation.com/article/bushs-faustian-deal-taliban#

And 6 months later they are chasing them saying "The Taliban leaders let Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaida on Afghan soil" ! The mind truly boggles. I bet you'll tell me the Bush administration had no idea in May 2001 that Osama and Al Q were in Afghanistan! (even though the rest of the English speaking world knew) They were tricked eh! This happens to be a VERY inconvenient truth!

Israel has never been an ally of the UK, it has never sent troops to fight in any of our so called War's on Terror, those Brits who have supported Israel are the traitors to the UK national and strategic interest in the Middle East.

Arguments along the lines that Israel is the only democracy in the ME, and therefore we should support it are laughable, we have traditionally supported tyrants, finding them easier to do business with.

I can understand why so many dislike George Galloway, but lets face it he's a lot more likeable than Benjamin Netanyahu.

No! Really he's not!

And it's not Israel flying planes into skyscrapers. It's not Israel bombing nightclubs in Ball. Its not Israel blowing up commuter trains in Madrid. Its not Israel blowing up London buses and tube trains. It's not Israel trying to behead British soldiers on the streets of London. It's not Israel murdering Dutch film makers on the streets of Amsterdam.

I've no love for Israel but they're not our enemy.

It wasn't Iraqis or Taliban either!

ISIS need dismantling and destroying quickly.

BUT! There is something interesting about these recent beheadings.......nobody is seen beheaded! For those that have browsed the net you will be well aware that there is absolutely no shortage of ultra graphic videos of people suffering the most gruesome executions at the hands of these barbarians. Yet with James Foley and now this one....nothing. I don't know what it is but it does not make sense. ISIS soldiers are not shy about filming their most horrific deeds. If they really wanted to show Obama a lesson in how bad they are then the videos would not stop where they do. Nowhere on the net is there a video of this execution, even with videos over 5 mins long they all finish at the same point. There is absolutely no doubt that ISIS are the lowest scum on earth and again there is no shortage of videos showing them executing, butchering and slaughtering innocent men, women and children.......lots of them. So why are they suddenly feeling sensitive to doing what they normally do and that is showing the full conclusion of their despicable inhuman acts. Is this ISIS or is it propaganda designed to whip up certain parts of certain populations into a frenzy of retribution. That would be no bad thing of course, but with ISI all the Governments and media have to do is tell us the truth, that is more than enough to incite the masses. Staged propaganda however simply distracts us and makes us point the fingers at Governments and call "liars' rather than hunting down and exterminating the real ISIS filth.

So If it's not on the net, then it didn't happen?

Obama, who doesn't presently have a strategy, has made this up?

Your dislike of the US is overwhelming your power of reasoning. But it was nice try.

What a strange reply.

Where does this illustrate a dislike for the US?

I have simply written down observations, nothing more, nothing less. For those of us who have never had a life time of drinking water with flouride added, or being brainwashed by the worlds worst media, it is a straight forward and natural thing to do. I never mentioned anything in terms of Obama. I merely made a comparison between the last two videos and all the previous ones. I am glad that you feel secure enough to be able to accept for granted everything your politicians tell you. I prefer to make my own mind up on everything based on all available objective, balanced evidence. Would you like me to list all of the occasions where it is now public knowledge that your Government have lied to you? Take your pick, US or UK whatever your flavour is.

Something Positive for a change, Nice to see some honest people out there.

Well done Mr a Taxi Driver..

There are more than a few. Reports like this come fairly frequently and many other acts of honesty & kindness go unreported. Taxi drivers are just men & women like everyone else. Being a taxi driver must be stressful, especially in Bangkok, but it doesn't transform an honest person into a thief anymore than any other occupation.

publicity stunt... alt=whistling.gif>

A lot of thought must have gone into your post.

Of course, any good news must be fake. Bad news is obviously true but understated. It's sort of amazing ... a sad reflection on the condescending mentality of too many farang ... how some people feel compelled to rush forward to take a puerile dump on anything that smacks of a positive report on life in Thailand.

If you were able to charge 1000 baht royalty fee for every time we could appropriately use that image on this site you could retire by the end of next week.

Funny really, just a few days ago a taxi driver arrested after the scumbag assaulted and robbed a Chinese woman. Now this story.

Synchronicity is indeed a strange beast.

Aaah! Once you really understand synchronicity life takes on a whole new.....journey!

Stand by for escalation. Russia have just approved the sale of 400 Billion in oil to China for payment in yuan. Its major oil company is also now trading oil in Rubles. Every single country that has ever tried to use an alternative currency to the dollar for oil has been attacked/invaded by the US.

So the EU countries that are using the Eurodollar have been invaded by the US?

What is the eurodollar? I still see the word dollar in there.

The Eurodollar whatever that is, is not the Iraqi Dinar or the recently minted Libyan Gold Dinar that Gaddafi was going to use, nor is it the Ruble or the Yuan.

Funny I have just been into my FX account and cannot find the eurodollar anywhere. How do I trade it, it sounds interesting.
