Damned if you do and damned if you don't.... So many experts, so many differing opinions.

This is all about Trump now?

According to his Wiki page: As army chief, prior to his retirement at the end of September, the general (current Prime Minister) received a 1.4 million baht (US$43,000) annual salary.

Who needs a Senator's pay?

Has the Health Minister seen this picture? Only 2 Thai persons wearing masks?

1 baht weight of gold slides 100 baht on a price of 24900 baht, when yesterday it held steady when the price was reported to have gone down 450 baht. 

Good grief.

Thanks, Elon. How's the share price?

Losing 450 baht per baht weight, is not exactly holding steady.

Not steady at all...

Bread and circuses, I'm guessing is referring to the Roman Emperors ' methods of distracting the populace from issues of the day.

Blimey, a lot of experts on the matter, but only 1 expert really. Darwinism always wins out.

I'm getting the wife to claim. Free money, you betcha.

Army hotel? I thought the head of the Army was going to sort this? Ah, this Corona virus thing has taken the heat off.

Honest Mike Pense?

Mr Trump has also been criticised for appointing his vice-president, Mike Pence, to head up the response to the epidemic. While governor of Indiana, Mr Pence was blamed for responding too slowly to an HIV outbreak, reportedly because of his reluctance to open needle exchanges. Hundreds of people were ultimately infected.

Maybe he learned a lesson and will be brilliant, I do hope so.  You're only as good as your last <deleted> up.

The Computer Crime Act wasn't in force until the junta came to power, so how can she be charged under a law that wasnt in place at the time?

 

Oh, of course, she is was a Future Forward party member and different laws apply to them.

 

Not so. There were laws and computer crime police prior to 2014.

The charge is contrary to Section 14(2) of the Computer Crimes Act BE 2550 (2007) namely:

Section 14. If any person commits any offence of the following acts shall be subject to imprisonment for not more than five years or a fine of not more than one hundred thousand baht or both:

(2) that involves import to a computer system of false computer data in a manner that is likely to damage the country’s security or cause a public panic;

Yes, the act predates the coup of 2014, as it does her comments.

But religious ceremonies and merit making's ok.

Rained last evening just outside Si Saket for about 3 hours, no idea how much, but it looked heavy to me. All dried up this morning except for a few puddles.

Shares in mask manufacturers anyone?

It's a sensible thing to do.

Another Thai political party. They must be running out of available names soon.

A deviation from the original Future Forward party's ideology will not the 6 million disenfranchised voters attract.

55 MPs from the late lamented FFP are expected to join. Why would they when the new party doesn't stand for what the old party did?

In jail, the American people have to look after him. If he is released, he has to look after himself. A winner, yes?

Whilst I empathise with those who were defrauded, (I suspect greed paid a part) Madoff should be released in my view, to stop being a burden on the people of the United States. 

If he lives past the 18 months at the home of his 'freind', those remaining victims can keep an eye on him.

The commerce ministry has forecast headline inflation of between 0.4% and 1.2% for 2020.

That's a wide enough range for even the worst charlatans, sorry, economists, accountants and or analysts to get it wrong.

If you're healthy, wear a mask. Sorry, why?

So much information about this virus and the disease it causes, I'm all confused now.

This is what free trade looks like?

This is the cabinet donating a month's salary, as promised.

It seems that many arms of government are gunning for this guy. Publicly.

Would it not be better if he was holding up a freeway somewhere, rather than hanging in a gibet.....

I thought public executions went out a long time ago, especially death by a thousand cuts.

I wonder how many rabble rousers 192 million baht would pay for?

Jeepers. Really? Some got paid for writing this...this....
