I asked the first question shown here under the photograph, concerning what the British government, or EU, is doing to secure a treaty similar to the US one. I can't see any reply to that. If its covered in the video interview where can I see the video? Is there a link?

Yingluck comes across as someone totally out of her depth, being given conflicting advise, and manipulted in all directions. She doesn't have the political experience, guile, or presence (yet?) of a Thatcher, Gillard or Merkel. If she does have some of their traits, she'll be sacking and re-shuffling a few around her soon!

Too many agendas, lack of strong leadership and as usual its the poeple who suffer. Turning down international help is the biggest mistake so far.
