You're living in cloud cuckoo land if you believe Suthep and his mob blocking major roads willy nilly in Bangkok, wasn't backed by very influential forces. I did npt post that that was my belief, those are your words. All I have stated, factually and empirically, is that Yingluck was removed from office by the Constitutional Court, not by a military coup.

Wrote the man who doesn't even know the title of the book he claims to be so fond of!

Gawd...

It is factually correct I know that.

https://time.com/2910484/thai-coup-planned-2010-suthep-thaugsuban/ Anecdotal, backed up by nothing empirical. She was removed by the Constitutional Court and that is factual, regardless of what spin you want to put on it.

Who controlled the Constitutional Court? That's like saying the judges who sentence people to death in Iran for being gay or blasphemy are independent. B0llocks, that's a fatuous analogy.

Naive pedantry. Factual comments, not pedantic, produce evidence if you think otherwise.

"Officers surmised that the perpetrator did not have lethal intentions and merely sought to intimidate Mai’s family".

I bet you lead a very lonely life! All you ever do is quote on others' 'posts and pick holes in what they say! Some of us are sometimes wrong. But most of us write what we think or feel at the time... All you ever do is pick up on things which you don't agree with or feel that you can prove are wrong. It is a forum! Am I not permitted to respond to what "some of us write, think or feel at the time", when it is plainly wrong or inaccurate, or is that privilege reserved only for "some of us who write, think or feel at the time", i.e. you? "All you ever do is pick up on things which you don't agree with or feel that you can prove are wrong". It's a forum! Are you seriously saying that everyone else is allowed to have an opinion of other members' comments but I am not?...I missed that part of the forum rules. In this case, I responded, not to something that I just thought was wrong, but to something that was absolutely wrong that some posters used (wrongly and ridiculously) to lambast AN and The Thaiger. Maybe you could put an addendum on your comments to indicate whether you grant me the right to respond?

To suggest that the removal of Yingluck from the electoral process, and the formation of a government by the military was not a coup She was removed from office by the Constitutional Court for abuse of power, that is fact, she was not removed by a coup, that is also a fact.

When was that and which country issued those "identically-numbered passports"?

what country? US passports are ALL new numbers when new passport issued regardless they can see ur travel history Same for UK, renewed passports always have a new number.

That's not the only thing to have escaped him on this thread!

Two coups and one popularly-elected PM had to self-exile, the other one, his sister, had to go on the run to escape a five-year prison sentence, not a coup.

Nonsense. Yingluck was not removed by a military coup, she was removed by the Constitutional Court before the coup took place.
