  1. Freezing? Surely not literally, somebody needs a thesaurus.

    The English is correct. 'Frozen' means that is not to be touched and there was the act of 'freezing' it. Please don't make yourself look stupid, as I assume you're a native English speaker.

    Haha!

    Quarantined or isolated might have been better words

  2. Suthep has been dividing the nation with his speeches every night for the past 4 months.

    This is the result. I hope he likes it.

    It's his only achievement in 4 months.

    If the people of Issan want to become a republic then let them.

    I just hope they have to get apply for a work permit, get a visa, do 90 day reporting and are denied the right to buy land or get a personal loan from the banks, just like any other foreigner. If they decide to move or work in The Kingdom of Thailand.

    Sorry to be so cynical but this is just a power grab, an opportunity by some of the more extreme elements of the red shirt movement to make a play for carving out their slice of the pie. To convince the people of Issan they are better off without the rest of Thailand, with the reds as their leaders and a select few of the reds in charge of the purse strings.

    Lanna is not Isaan

    But it might be the first bah lanna republic

  3. Seems everyone is missing probably the most important line of his statement. The rest is just what is expected.

    But he highlighted US concern about "the employment of other tactics that undermine Thailand's democratic values and processes, inhibit compromise, and further exacerbate political tensions."

    I saw that as cutting booth ways.

    The behaviour of the PTP in passing legislation was criminally against the grain of democracy

    As are Suthep's whacky plans

  4. Why are people taking children to these protests? I have a five year old daughter and therefore those pictures of her in the hospital hit me pretty hard. I remember in 2010, people holding screaming babies above barricades in Bangkok. Leave the kids at home!

    Exactly, Jucel!!!

    I remember the many posts in TV from the yellow apologists saying "why are they taking kids to their rally".

    But they suddenly change their mantra that bringing a kid to a PDRC (aka Rambo) rally is OK.

    Bunch of brainwashed whistle blowers.

    May the girl rest in peace and Suthep ever pay for the crimes he is doing now.

    The girl wasn't at the rally. She was at an adjacent market.

    Besides, this wasn't Bangkok and it wasn't Udon Thani

  5. As reported in today's Bangkok Post, up to 10,000 jobs are at risk in AIS...a company with no links to the Shin family any longer. Does Suthep care? Not a bit. Just political point scoring and very probably some links, direct or otherwise, to a competitor of AIS. Is it surprising?

    Suthep stated on stage that AIS is not a Thaksin company.

    But don't let that spoil your lies

  6. The big issue all along has been the government's handling of the protests and I would include the CMPO and the police in that.

    They have given mixed messages. Tear gas one minute, bottles of water the next, allowing protesters in the next.

    CMPO has the wrong people running it. Thaksin's cousin, one if the moist despised drunks in Thailand and the incredibly partisan DSI chief who should himself be up on murder charges.

    Regardless of who is guilty, the level of policing and lack of results is shocking. People seem to be able to bring guns, grenades and explosives to protest sites at will.

    The lack of leadership from the government when these attacks happen is evidence that they don't know what to do.

    I don't know what happens next in this tragic pantomime but it clearly can't continue like this and if the government can't get a grip then somebody else must.

    When the next government takes its seat a fully resourced task force needs to get all these weapons off the street. An amnesty for handing them in and life for anyone found carrying

  7. Wow You know that Thaksins lawyer wrote every single word of her B.S

    She couldn't do it in public so she uses Facebook.

    Thailand seems to be run by Justin Beiber or Miley Cyrus types who tweet all their moronic thoughts or that of their handlers.

    Very Pathetic

    Would you rather Suthep to run Thailand ?

    Nobody would.

    We'd have more massive rallies.

    However the proverbial electric pole would be preferable

  8. Source from the front page of B.P. Newspaper, This morning

    Statement from OHCHR United Nations Human Rights Office Highly Which states:

    "Although all the details are not clear, it appears that a well armed group associated with the anti-government protesters quickly escalated the violence with the use of live ammunition. It also appears that thew police responded,shooting live ammunition"

    Out side observers again saw what is so open to the bias Thai media, that alway attempt to place blame on the government.

    Cheers

    Didn't the government say that the police were unarmed? Did they lie?

    didn't suthep said they will fight with their bare hands? The police did not say they were unarmed. They said their will armed according to the following process.

    The front lines of the law enforcement officers were armed with shields and baton, followed by tear gas, than the rubber bullets. Finally, the live bullet when the enforcement officer are attacked and their lives and that of the public are in imminent danger.

    The very first line was negotiation - to clear illegal structures and any obstruction that violated the rights of the public. When that failed and faced with resistance and attack, the other line takes over to maintain law and order and enforcing the rule of law. This is in accordance to international riot control and crowd control practice.

    I'm sure that shooting 5 unarmed protesters dead without warning will be viewed as murder.

    I leave that to the investigators.

    Very wise of you.
