Yes, the elite have got him by the short and curlies. 'Do as we say if you want to be free.' I'm disgusted that so called democracy, anti- junta MPs like Chaturon and Adisorn ( 'I was under pressure'), haven't resigned. Spineless.

The senators who voted for Settha to be PM came from Prayuth's group, the coup makers. So having seized power from Pheu Thai, they've passed it back. Only, there are conditions, many. And they have a hostage to make sure Pheu Thai meekly obey their orders. Move Forward, the sole hope for Thailand

t49 hang on. At a guess I reckon you're 73 or 74, born in 1949? Outlive your contemporaries in the Thai elite by a few years and you may yet die happy

There are levels of lies from the white lie to avoid hurt feelings, to the brazen in your face lie, I know that you know that I'm lying but I don't give a flying fluck.. Thaksin's 'honest mistake' remark definitely falls into the last category imo, and to use it in court under oath suggests to me a man devoid of a moral compass .

Doing a Tippers today, on a run/ spree.

The whole charade reeks of bad acting. Give it a day or two and hashtags on Twitter making fun of this pantomime will appear.

Oh come on Red, the man is full of manure. From the time when he brazenly told a court in 2001 that the millions of baht hidden in his servants' names was 'an honest mistake', to this urgent need to get out of jail and direct the new government's cabinet, he has told porkies.

Now he's out the jail and has use of his mobile phone again, I'm sure his oxygen levels will return to normal.

They never expected to do so well, I believe they thought PT would beat them. Never mind, now they know what they're up against - everyone. And they must prepare for possible dissolution and lengthy bans for all MPs if the establishment really go for the jugular regarding undermining the monarchy. The church is broad and no doubt will welcome disillusioned red shirts and others. I believe the young will stay with them, the government can't disenfranchise half the population.

I know which one I'll bet on!

lol

I reckon he's suffering from L.ID. It's well known to cause insomnia, palpitations and feelings of inadequacy. (luxury item deprivation)

The red shirts did but they got shot, all 99 of them. Then Thaksin spat on them by getting into bed with the military backed parties.
