The farmers are in a tough spot. The current government hasn't paid them yet, but if the government falls to Suthep or a military coup they won't ever get paid. Their best bet is to continually remind the government how pissed off they are without actually toppling it, which is what they appear to be doing.

I don’t think so, firstly Shutup has started a street collection to assist the farmers as best they can, and secondly the military knows the plight of the farmers and they are fully aware of the value of the farmer, unlike the persistent government at the moment who can’t seem to see the writing on the wall.

The UDD leader said although the movement does not have army chief Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha to stand by them, the group have the people that do.

Excepting the farmers

Suppose it's better than Catholic priests offering candy.

Or a prostitute, (oops I meant) protestant standing on the corner with his good news book under his armpit shouting “repent or burn in hell”

In my opinion, this is not merrily a globe-trotting exercise, because one can be sure that the UN as well as the super powers knows exactly what is going on from the foreign embassies in Thailand. The reason may be much deeper than that, it may be a plea for help perhaps financially, perhaps by armed forces, one can only speculate at this stage. However, whatever the goal of this globe-trotting exercise may be, the government must also realise their sins of the past, concerning slavery, extortion, corruption, and many other bad things that has not been curbed by the excising government has also been documented by the super powers.

Furthermore to report that the caretaker prime minister is being continually harassed by the opposition (which is known internationally,) is rather childish, somewhat like a child reporting that his lollypop has been taken away from him, don’t you think?

He then recalled the days when he was justice minister and had done many things beneficial to the judges.

So “I scratch your back, you scratch my back” started way back then did it?

"Protesters lay seige!"

Picture of people having coffee.....

Let's see if Chalerm can round up some thug red-shirt police to forcibly remove the coffee drinkers. He needs to show that he will not be kowtowed by the court rendering the SOE toothless.

Well they say a toothless tiger can suck you dry.

Where I live the are just now planting a new crop of rice while these farmers and protesting who planting the rice? No wonder their poor.

In my wife's village, which is 100% red shirt, most have not been paid and have no money to buy supplies for a new crop. Many owe money to illegal money lenders and are in dire straights.

I guess the farmer where I live are smart and have money or been paid by the government

Or possibly the village chief has intimidated them

“Loyalty to country ALWAYS. Loyalty to government, when it deserves it.”

the farmers are not upset that you lied to them, they are upset that from now on they can't believe you.”

“We assume that all statements must be mild inversions of the truth, because it's too weird to imagine people who aren't casually lying, pretty much all the time.”

It has been calculated that in the past 3000 years, only 240 years of peace have been achieved in the world.

READ THIS

Chalerm reiterated that the CMPO would abide by Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra’s demand that it refrain from using force in its mission. He also expressed his confidence that the continued operation would be successful and without violent incident

BUT

At Pan Fah Bridge, police from the Second Region Provincial Police were seen firing at protesters with shotguns. Many protesters were injured and several ambulances were seen moving into the area to take the injured to hospitals.

CONCLUSION

The caretaker Prime ministers words have no value or power in the existing government, which means that there is no control in this government.

Party over at my place.

Where is your place? is everybody invited?

The farmers were a political tool from the start. The moment she bought their votes with the rice program they became a political tool. It is only natural that the game is now played in a way she does not like. She should have thought about this from the start. She started the stupid program, she forgot to assign enough funding. She oversaw the program with all its corrupt deals.. and now she is blaming others that say enough is enough no more money in this bottomless pit let the guilty be punished. Typical Shin attitute.

“Just because something isn't a lie does not mean that it isn't deceptive. A liar knows that she is a liar, but one who speaks mere portions of truth in order to deceive is a craftsman of destruction.”

It's hard to keep all roads blocked when you only have 23 elderly protesters and 200 hired thugs left in your camp

Better to have 200 hundred thugs, than the 20,000 thugs that are currently being employed by u no who.

Well, at least he had the guts to meet them!

So, the new topic is designer water bottles? What a sad and pathetic bunch we have.

Things are really starting to get embarrassing, Drugs, prostitution, extortion, corruption, the Rohingya problem, and now Slavery.

The Chiang Mai Reds. Launched in to action. The anti-government protesters flee. The fleeing part is good Thai form.

I'm sure Chalerm would agree with the fleeing part.

Well, wouldn’t you also flee in that situation? Or would you stand your ground like Rambo?

Red democracy in action! Only they are allowed to demonstrate or rally.

Typical of these people, destroy, burn, and contaminate the air, destroy the environment, and pollute the waters, and when the floods come or they can’t breathe properly they cry for help.

It said the move would make the role of village headman and kamnan or sub-district chief redundant

Probably means their kickbacks and commissions are in jeopardy. Why on earth do you need these hangers on anyway?

I second that.

Do they really think that foreigners are blind and stupid! Jeeez!

Suthep has got tired, most of his followers left him, his "guards" are expensive and shot too many people, his friends in the army can't help him, he fears arrest, most people want to vote, he has no clue how to make the things move on... It's time for negotiation indeed...

Poor old miserable man...
