no, he and non of his party ministers will quit - they are in the government exclusively for the bananas they are getting from Thammanat.
his party is totally corrupt, unprincipled
He can't afford to quit and antagonize the junta. The junta had him by his bullocks with the multi billion infrastructure projects that his company Sino-Thai Engineering and Construction benefited with more to come. He is part and parcel of the unholy alliance that stole elected governments for their personal gains.

Sunthorn surprised many by suddenly giving thaksin an exclusive licence to start and operate a privately owned telecoms company. At that time it was law that all telecoms operations had to be owned and operated by the state. Thaksin went right ahead and got the monopoly operation started and charged exorbitant rates for mobile phones and services.
Gutsy move to take such business risk when penetration of telephone was relatively limited at a 3.3 ratio of telephone lines per 100 population and mobile phone was in its infancy.

Then blame republicans for changing the rules to allow this to happen.
Just because you dont like it doesnt mean they cant do it.
I hope the Dems just Ignore and don’t play into the Republicans game to prolong the impeachment inquiry. Do it to spite them. They asked for it when they change the rule to disadvantage the Dems. Now things has change in the house and no sympathy for the Trump’s lackey Republicans.

Sure not a recession in technical terms but judging from the consecutive decline in consumer spending and lowering export, it sure feel like recession.

The Feds just arrested two of Giulani's cohorts at DC airport with one way tickets out of the US. They are the two that congress wanted to testify. They had just had lunch with the Mayor. Giuliani might want to run and hide . Trump put new tires on the "bus" and is probably warming up the engine as I type! Although, the arrest might put a damper on any congressional appearance by the two, they are now indicted for campaign finance violations and other charges and probably would just take the 5th.
They will face 2 charges which could possibly add up to 35 years in jail. They are Ukrainian with US citizens. Hope they squeal and more damage to Trump and Giuliani. They donated huge amount to Trump campaign. Got to keep them securely locked; many would like to get their hands on them. Problems for the orange man piling up.

Natural, dense rainforest is cleared to plant a few palm trees in nice straight rows, all equally spaced the same distance apart. So it is certainly not misleading.
Palm oil is not a healthy product to use anyway, but it’s cheap, that’s why the manufacturers use it......and why there is row after row of the stuff on Tesco shelves and only a few bottles of other vegetable oils. It’s taken a while but I have finally got the missus not to buy palm oil.
Like plantation trees after the west devastated their forest.

nice try to dismiss the truth of the matter, doing it while Bangkok was flooded and then personally delivering it to thaksin was the reason he was charged, he went behind everyones backs to do it to please his master. Nothing will change the fact he was not following the lawful procedure, it was a total farce on behalf of the ptp to please thaksin, they did as he told them too as they always do.
Seem the same logic of Kasit withdrawing Thaksin passport to please his boss and he was not charged for malfeasance. Foreign ministry issue and approve passport; nothing illegal unless the NACC made up the charge. Lots of malfeasance to slap on this government if the NACC chose to do.

Just to compensate with a wrong and ridiculous charge. It's within his jurisdiction to issue passport. The next foreign minister from the coup government can simply withdraw that privilege.

The Zero Palm Oil policy was enforced after claims of palm farming partly associated with deforestation
Knocked me down with a feather. Palm oil comes from palm trees; right. Deforestation seem bit misleading.

Not the point. The point is Iran lied, repeatedly to the EU.
The EU cannot ignore that and expect to be treated seriously.
The problem is that Pompeo accusation is shrouded with ambiguity whether this was an old accusation back in September or a fresh case. He is like his boss making unclear impulsive accusation which mystified the allies. Which is reason his EU allies are ignoring him. A bit like the boy who cried wolf,

Don’t think the allies in EU has much respect for the Secretary of State Pompeo. That’s the toxicity that will be generated with his undying loyalty to Trump. He must read the book “Everything Trump touch dies”.

They just follow their leader whose working schedule is only 60% in last 3 months and mostly consisted of schedule on the President’s discretion and aren’t listed with specific activities like staff meeting or meeting world leaders. Much to speculate about the value of his ‘working schedule’. He does play lots of golf though.

Polls are useless. Where is the guarantee that the random respondents were equally republican and democrat? Remember, Hillary was projected to win by a margin of 70% to 90%. People can, if they choose, believe that polls are an accurate reflection of the true support for impeachment or not. Polls are useless.
Polls are useless unless it is a Fox poll and they still told the same numbers overwhelming supporting the impeachment inquiry and even want him impeached. Even more than half of Fox polls disapproved on how he perform. Ouch!

My belief is that they will never take a House vote. Why? Because it won't be necessary. They will self destruct before they get to that juncture. Their scam is falling apart rapidly.
Will be hard for the Republicans to convince the rising majority well past 50% who believe this inquiry is legit. Even within Republican, there seem a 6-8% increase since Sept that the investigation is warranted. I doubt the Dem is losing too much sleep on the WH stonewalling tactics. They will not dance to the WH tune and will just proceed on their own as laid down by the constitution and courtesy of the 2015 Republican own doing. Thanks a lot Rep.

Well well you have look back at 2015 when the Republicans has the majority of the 2 houses and they changed the rules to make them riding roughshod over the minority Dem by giving themselves subpoena powers. Rather than involving members of the Dem minority in the process at all, they simply authorized their own committee chairs to unilaterally issue subpoenas to anyone they wished. Now when the tide is turned, they like you are whining and bitching about giving them a fair voice. Cry me a river.

I got to give BOT credit besides effective banking supervision for resisting much political pressure as regards to the interest rate management and also safeguarding the international reserves.
The interest rate has room to maneuver if Thailand slide into a recession which the world seem to be heading.
International reserves can be depleted relatively quickly like in 1997 financial crisis or like Argentina. With this government embarking on populist policies , BOT must resist the government attempt to tap into this reserves.

Always thought the answer is simply a reformed education with less rote learning and more associative and active learning. Maybe how to get meaningful reform is the question.

I have seen this before and I can tell you that the there will be loopholes for exploitation and corruption. The registration of chemicals by the Industry Ministry has the same policy requiring companies to pass their safety and handling test. The test is very technical and required some comprehensive knowledge on chemistry, medicine and first aid. It is a difficult test and small companies can't afford to hire staffs just for passing the tests. Up pop companies that operate to serve this need and somehow they have the 'expertise' to get the certification. They charge a upfront fee and monthly fee to 'represent' you. In short, you will find real soon that someone has the license to buy for you. You just pay for the service.
