Oh the shame..... the pure comedy gold shame

So I guess they'll be an election for a new Governor (yeah right)

Irrelevant who leads. The Government will win this race. They will call an election and guess who will win again. I am not stating this is a good thing but looking at the cooments about Sutthep, he seems just as bad as those he is trying to oust.

So who is better? I know the ones in are useless corrupt and hopeless but is the other side really better? What a bloody joke this country - politically is..

I agree that the Democrats have some serious flaws. This amnesty bill and the 2 trillion baht of unaacountable spending money really push the envelope to a whole new level.

Just imagine if Thaksin came back and had access to this money. Do you think for one minutes he wouldn't use it to further his cause and buy absolute power and control?

Thailand cannot allow this to happen, for everyone's sake.

As always, their timing is hilarious.

"Yingluck said that she would like to see peace and order returned to the country as the ongoing protests which now is spreading to the provinces have caused trouble to the people."

The biggest trouble to the people, and Thailand in general, is the current administration.

Let's see Adul. Weekend is coming up.

Exactly. Most anti-govt protestors have regular jobs that require them Mon-Fri. They are not farmers who can just leave for weeks at a time outside of planting/harvest season.

Have regular jobs?you could have fooled me.There's enough of them on the street during the day.what are they all night workers?

Exactly. Imagine how many there would be if those who work during the day could get time off?

My friends and collegues can only go when they can. Often on one day it will be different people to the next.

It's not the same static group as the Red Shirts who just camped there.

The real numbers of current anti-govt protesters/supporters are much higher than the numbers you see on any one day in the street. Much, much higher.

Civil War is fast approaching in Thailand, Thailand should use their brian to make thing get well

Yes, where is Brian when you need him!!!

Let's see Adul. Weekend is coming up.

Exactly. Most anti-govt protestors have regular jobs that require them Mon-Fri. They are not farmers who can just leave for weeks at a time outside of planting/harvest season.

Now that does does know, is she going to take action against the guilty parties? At the top of the list would be the responsible Ministers. Will the axe fall? No, she'll just keep repeating that she knows nothing therefore can do nothing. That being the case, it's time for a new PM. This one is obviously incompetent.

This is a good article. Covers most of the main points succinctly.

10,000 people? That's a fantastic turn out. The govt wouldn't have known what him em.

Is it finally time to bring this corrupt house of cards down?

Suthep on Tuesday called for the creation of an unelected administration to run the country,...:

basically not a bad idea, considered how 'well' democracy and elected governments function in thailand. but the question is: who will select this administration?

i am sure that suthep would imagine that either he would be a part of the selection team or any body near to his party - and that is would be a total non-starter and lead only to more upheveals in the future.

maybe it would be the best if the UN would administer thailand for a while? or at least select the (thai) people administering thailand?

Some might say this is a preposterous idea. Truth is, it's not so much.

The pressure from her brother must be enormous. I almost feel sorry for her. She should never have been PM.

There won't be any violence as long as the Red Shirts don't get involved.

That's about as thinly veiled a threat as you are ever going to get.

45 days is a very long time for a farmer not to get money. Often they are living month to month. Expect debt levels to rise. This will not go down well at all.

The government would be unperturbed if fireballs came raining down from the sky and a swarm of locusts covered the land. The TAT would also issue a statement that tourist numbers have been unaffected, and may in fact increase.

NB. I didn't use flooding as an example as this has already actually happened... twice, and they were largely unperturbed on both occassions.

Thank God. If 007 and the guy with the crooked nose has been hurt, I don't know what I would have done.

This shall be done!
