Remember the Thaksin "press conferences"

I remember when Yingluck was elected and you moaned that Thailand was becoming North Korea, Jingthing. Now that Thailand has an unelected coup ruling the country, martial law, military tribunals for citizens with no appeal, no constitution, no political rights, no civil liberties, greatly increased prosecution for political speech, among its many repressive features you can't still be going on about what a threat to democracy the Shinawatras are, can you? You can't possibly lack a sense of scale to that degree, right?

"felt like punching a reporter for asking him a question he disliked"

And this guy is a PM???

As a matter of fact, no, he's not a Prime Minister at all. He just calls himself that.
