The CMPO chief said his idea needed permission from neither Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra nor Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva.

True enough, he's only taking orders from his boss Mr. T.

By the way what Prime Minister, last time I checked Thailand didn't have one...

Geez, what a sore loser

First the trains derailing, then the boats sinking, in between the killer-busses. Never ending story.

Som nam na, I am sure the really good Thai 4x4 drivers laughing their heads off.

Thaksin started it years ago and is now using it to get back to Thailand. By now he understands it will be not the whole of Thailand he is returning to, so the North is just fine. Next week Yingluck will be in the East. No accidents there but a well layed out plan by her brother. Suthep did his job in not letting Thaksin back in control of the whole of Thailand. The rest and final outcome is in others hands.

"The government did not want people to know about their ethnicity, they wanted a unified, centralised, Thailand; it's the policy of the government to teach one country, one flag. We used to see signs saying 'This area is free from local dialect.' We were supposed to speak Central Thai only. Not many people in the north were even aware of their cultural background, they didn't know that they were Tai Daeng, Tai Dam, Tai Laos or Tai Lue."

from The Lanna Deception (http://www.chiangmainews.com/ecmn/viewfa.php?id=2727)

The Suthepistas have opened a very old and very sore wound - well done, now reap the consequences.

Aye, that will be a smart thing to do. Then the EC can't meet and ok the government's plans for raising money to pay the farmers.

Complete and utter idiots. Duh!

...and can't continue with the plans for further elections the PTP wants! Very smart indeed

bla bla bla, and in direction the UN, yes we like to get you involved because it may look good for us but: She said the government welcomed advice from the United Nations which is experienced in resolving national conflicts but people in the country would have to eventually find their own solutions.

Finally the wind of change reached the RTPO as well. Add them to the list opposing the Thaksin government, who is left supporting them besides from good old Thida and her hardcore friends?

Mr Tarit said the CMPO has also resolved to file criminal charges against PDRC secretary general Suthep Thaugsuban and his accomplices for using explosives and heavy weapons to attack police, resulting in deaths and serious injuries, at Phan Fah Bridge, Ratchdamnoen Avenue, on Tuesday.

Appeals Court would be asked to delay enforcement of the nine-point restriction to enable CMPO to effectively deal with the political unrest.

It's getting ridicilous...

The games the government plays... Revoke one SOE and issue a new one.

unbelievable, I am speachless,

Mr Surapong made the proposal through the media and said it would not be necessary to submit an official letter to EC on the simultaneous elections.

In other words listen to what we have to say in the media und on facebook. No more direct talks, phone calls or official letters.

Next week and next week. There is no next week regarding the rice payments, and the real farmers do understand it by now. If this was a con by PTP it didn't work and shame on you who took part in such a charade. Next

The move is aimed at making a stronger and more united UDD policy to tell society what is truly wanted by Thais Thaksin, she noted.

"The government will soon embark on a globe-trotting tour"

That's the news I was soon expecting, their excuse to leave the country. Surely they are already busy transfering the rest of their money to Dubai or elsewhere.

Unfortuately not all of them will be able to leave, so their heads will still be in Thai politics and their hands in people's pocket.

So Thaksin closes his doors to the farmers. Who would have thought ?

I am confused, in 2010 he let all the red shirts (farmers?) in, never mind other guests, and in 2014 the farmers (still red) have to stay out?

My mind boggles

At least she is consistant in delegating others

Let me guess, K. Yingluck assigned some caretaker ministers to deliver Mr. T's. message to the EC. Negotiation Shin-style...
