Who, me ?

- snip -

Maybe she has waited long enough for him to get back from the beach already

The knee-jerk Thaksinophobes probably have no idea he spent last week in the Maldives. Not rumor, acknowledged by his spokesman. Some top secret flood meeting with the their president undoubtedly.

You mean, same as Yingluck when she went to Burma while her people were dying? Difference is that she IS the PM

Who, me ? - do you recognize how ineffective the comparison sounds, official state visit of newly elected PM in September vs long weekend holiday jaunt at the height of the crisis?

I was sure that I would have this kind of answer....

Now tell me again, who is the PM in charge (or rather who is supposed to be in charge)?

Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra may soon invite Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva to work as a team for flood control in the capital,

Hmm, don't you think she should wait a bit longer? /sarc

How will she get ahold of Abhisit when he's jet-setting in the Maldives?

I dont need people who dont know anything about flooding telling me I am a cold hearted Falang

Frankly speaking, you do NOT have her....at your homecountry, a cold hearted Falang. She's NOT your leader.

Great - if she's not our leader, then the laws of this country aren't ours to follow either. Correct Alex?

She is NOT a leader at all...Period

Teary eyed PM....Again?

If passed by Parliament into law, it will give the national police chief the power to censor, close down and threaten the constitutional rights of any newspaper with impunity.

To those not following the plot closely, the current police chief is Thaksin's brother in law. How convenient.

Apparently, you are not following the plot closely, since Mr. Thaksin is divorced. As such, the "police chief" is not his brother in law.

It is uncommon for divorced people to remain "close" to their ex inlaws. Based upon the expert opinion of TVFers, it seems to be the norm to put as much distance as possible between the ex inlaws and the divorced spouse.

In respect to the issue at hand, the Nation with its small following has appointed itself as the official opposition to the democratically elected government of Thailand. Perhaps the Nation is worried that its rabid vociferous opinions that denigrate and insult the government are coming back to bite it on its posterior? If the Nation spent as much time on constructive criticism and unbiased reporting as it does on stirring up animosities, and spewing hatred, it might not be in panic mode?

Yes, you are really red to the core, and ONLY YOU and your fellow reds believe that Thaksin divorced his wife for any other reason than to escape massive tax evasion penalties, and other stuffs. ONLY YOU and your fellow reds believe that the ex brother in law has been appointed for other reasons that he is the ex brother in law.

Your never ending red sh*t propaganda is really tiring, and serves no purpose.

By the way, I hope that you will react strongly to the fact that some trucks full of food donated by Thai people are marked on the side with a banner saying that this is a gift from Thaksin.... Or will you give us the same explanation that another of your heroes, namely Natthawut ???

Bangkok and Thailand are on the verge of huge devastation and this is what the paper chooses to print? Makes you wonder if having somebody control the press is a good idea if there idea of news at a critical time like this is to inflame politics. Absolutely no reason in the world to run this story now. After the waters recedes then you can inflame politics but at this point it seems like many people are simply using this natural disaster to put politics before Thailand and its people.

I'm all for seeing an end to Thaksin and his family in politics but this is a time when people need to pull together. If things do get very bad I have a feeling many people are going to die that would not have needed to die if politics were not taking front stage right now. I even think the government is scared to deploy the military for fear of a coup and instead are depending on the police who not only are taking care of themselves and their own families now but have nowhere near the capabilities the army does in handling something like this.

Very very sad and as you can see from the comments on Thaivisa and the English newspapers, this is not just a Thai thing.

And just plane wrong to mislead readers to believing this story has anything to do with flooding. Politicians lie, that is what they do best across the globe and if these newspapers had real reporters then we'd be getting facts instead of nonsense and politicians would be less likely to lie so boldly.

No , no and no!!! There can not be any "good" or "bad" time to publish this. It has to be told, period.

Hope that Thai people will see what's going on, and won't let this happen.

Backpedaling Thais trying to cover up their mistake of turning away life saving assistance to Save Face.

Denial, backpedaling.... Great stuff here, typical from this highly competent government....Some one please kick this bunch of clowns out

Good to see that cops are on top of serious crimes repression.

So, he opens his mouth after a very very long silence, and the first thing out of it is a big fat LIE

Says it all on the red shirts mentality.... When I think that these clowns are part of the government, I just want to puke....

The Democrats have now admitted that former PM Abhisit flew off to the Maldives, throwing in the lie that it was a 'diplomatic visit' despite no record of it from official Maldive sources.

Hey, you are back? Well, you could have saved us your red sh*t propaganda again

Constantly amazed at the anti=American rants on this site, and a good deal of the ranting is from Americans.

Lets focus on Thailand and Bangkok and the issues at hand.

What rant???

Did you read the OP? Can you really agree with such statement? If yes, please let us know your location, coz I seriously doubt you are in Thailand now. If you are in Thailand now, please take your pink tainted glasses off. You'll see the real situation.

From the beginning, Thai government has been below any expectation. They did not address the situation from day 1. They ignored all signals that a catastrophe was in the making. They focused on other pressing matters, such as brother, family and friends to be given posts at the government, etc..... When they started to realize that there was a problem they started to run like headless chickens, with no plans whatsoever. They spoke all together with different messages. They gave false alarms, while overlooking important information, they let people face their problems alone, etc, etc, etc.....

And you think that we are ranting against America because they give us such boll8cks.....

Please, get real...

New elections as soon as the 111's ban-time has expired.

Do you really think they'd go to the people so soon after this debacle? Even with the 111, they'd be slaughtered.

If so, be it, and let's get rid of this plague

Because of course, all Thai people will be overjoyed to see your hero back!

Mr. Thaksin's return should give foreigners something to complain about for months to come. I'd be more concerned about malaria and dengue. Some pests are more dangerous than others.

Just click on the video and you can see it on Youtube.

@who, me: What are they saying?

I can't understand what he says, but his voice is just so rough, so full of hate.....

The what club?

The Love Udon Thani And We'll Beat The Crap Out Of Anyone Who Isn't A Red Shirt Club

Democracy at its best!

When I hear the speaker, I just want to vomit.........

The what club?

I think judging by its name it is possibly some sort of wife swapping / swingers club for residents of Udo. Maybe Taksins is a member!!

Now, I am at lost.... What the heck are you talking about?

... and why didn't she think of ordering more pumps a few weeks ago?

'Think', that's a big word for Thailand.

A puppet does not think. It takes orders from a master.

Well, He'll be back, maybe.....

He has ordered pumps, maybe....

He will trigger another round of political fights, surely....He will trigger a new coup, most certainly...

But now GK is going to explain us again that extremely VIP (but will not name them, but we will all be completely amazed) have secretely met with Taksin some times ago, and that all is already arranged....

Anyway, let him come back, and the circus to start again. After all the sh*t that this country has faced, is facing now, that is certainly NOT what it needs....

stupidity at its best....

Someone please kick those morons out.....

How many times did she have to "deny" since she is a useless PM ???

Every single topic brings a "Thai PM Yingluck denies.........."

Amazing!

I will subscribe if do a video eating "pla ra".

Lol. what is pla ra?

:cheesy:

They have no idea what they are doing or what is going on or who the water is going to hit. Bunch of imbeciles.

And you could do better.....................

Anyone could do better, even you GK

Another useless statement from useless PM....

As if we don't know yet that the situation is serious, and that we gonna have to be flooded....

Rather than talking and talking and talking she'd better give the command to competent people, pack her belongings, and go as far as possible from Thailand....
