The traffic laws have been on the books for years, and have not enforced them. So was the accident with the container caused by the police not doing there jobs. There are thousands of trucks on the highway has unsecured cargo. they leave the government container yards without being inspected. The owners on the trucks are also responsible for not maintaining their equipment.

in a cartoon on 4 August 1931, From Si krung newspaper which shows ' Cruel-faced giant does't plunder the fields but on the backs of the people'.

Thai was back in 1931, this is 2014 and corrupt politicians are the cruel faced giants, plundering the money earned by the hard working farmers.

A copy of this cartoon can be seen on page 110 in the book History of Thailand, written by Chris Baker and Pasuk Phongpaichit.

This has adversely affected the operation of SC Assets. If SCA is affected than they everything must stop to protect SCA. When will people understand where the priorities are? Shin Corp, is the only property firm that matters.

When oh when will the shinamafia realise their game is over? Soon it will be time for them to explain their doings in the courts.

It is not over till the fat lady sings, and we know who that member of the Shinawatra family is.

But the big boss said we will set the market price. What went wrong???

If Thai farmers are only 45% efficient as there Vietnamese opposition in the rice trade, then A Government neefs to look at that problem.

Maybe adopting farlang farming methods may help!!!!

Fariang farming methods can only be used on large corporate farms. Planting rice with a machine would put the average rice farmer into a cost they can not afford. The ROI would not justify the expense. Spreading fertilizer pesticides and herbicides with an air plane, how much does that cost.

The present rice pledging could cause the average farmer to lose his land because of non performing loans. There by corrupt politicians could take the land and set up large corporate farms. They would need some help from their friends in the UAE.

He did not lie!

I did not have sex with that woman, that woman Monica.

If you like your insurance you can keep it. The NSA does not spy on Americans. Benghazi was caused by a video.

Watergate should be handled as a small breaking.

I think that Thailand should go back and follow some of the old customs. In old Siam a woman's top was only covered by a cloth, and no bras.

Is this an indicator than the consumer confidence had declined because of the activities of the Shinawatra government. Numerous promises were made by this government to get elected, and than it all went to hell in a hand basket. First Car, First Home, Tablets, Credit Cards for Taxi Drivers, and than we have all the pledging for agricultural projects, which appear to be all failures. The only people that profited from these activities were politicians and their cronies.

The last good CEO of Thai was Nai Wanglee over 25 years ago. When I came back to Thailand to live in 1986, I flow in on TG. On the comment card in the set in front of me, I wrote a note about the flight and the crew. Within a week I got a hand written letter from Nai Wanglee, thanking me for my comments.

Is the shortage of water caused by the dams in China and Laos? If there is a drought in Esan, the farmers can not grow rice, and the government does not pay them the money they are owed, they will lose there land to the Banks and money lenders. This is when you will see an upheaval of Esan farmers, rebelling against the PTP, and there will be a peoples coup. There will also be a migration to Dubai.

The blaming of one person on this is wrong. She had alto of other people working the process. The whole scheme was to get the Shin Dynasty back in power, and to put large amounts of money into the hands of corrupt politicians.

What will the PTP do when the thousands of farmers and red shirts march into Bangkok? These people voted for and supported the Shin Dynasty, than they were lied to and cheated. Will will have P1 students and parents marching because of the " One Student One Tablet Program " which has not worked, but was used to buy votes. The cost of living has increased, but the Taxi Drivers have not been allowed to increase the Taxi fare.

Sounds like the working class revolting against a corrupt government. They want a government of the people, by the people and for the people. Rice pledging, Tablet computers, credit cards for taxi drivers, all corrupt schemes which made corrupt politicians rice, and the Shin Dynasty stronger.

Today there are many blind fools who are demanding their right to vote

But what are they voting for ?

How can you vote for democracy. When their is only 1 party to vote for

Todays vote is for democracy or dictatorship

If today you vote in a government that has no opposition only one party in power it is a dictatorship not democracy

The protestors have learnt

you can good some Thais all of the time

But you can no fool all Thais all of the time

The blind fool has posted. "Only one party to vote for", where did you get that incorrect information from?

Be sensible and at least a little honest. There is only 1 major party running in this election. There are quite a few constituencies with no one registered as a candidate (only a "vote no" is possible?) and quite a few constituencies with only a single candidate. Sorry I don't have exact numbers. There are lots of smaller parties, however they don't have candidates everywhere. So, while technically true that there is more than one party, there is only one major party running in this election. Of course, the election is a bit of a waste since it cannot produce enough MP's (unless someone has some trick in their bag), minor detail. If I'm wrong, which alternate party could be considered a major party and also have the potential of electing a majority of the MP's?

Old wine new bottle.

This is a movement against woman's rights? Another Male Pig movement to keep women from expressing themselves.

No collateral no money, and we will not take rice as collateral. Rice is a perishable product, it can only be left on the ground in the rain for a short period of time, than all it is good for is fermentation, to bake rice whiskey Low Kow.

Is this the same campaign that was started 20 years ago? For the last 20 years, when I go shopping I have canvas bags. I try to stay away from plastic as much as possible, but the problem is also the packaging. I have not seen butcher paper in the meat market for decades. It is all plastic.

PT has a plan to pay back any loans.

As I posted on a related topic :

However some truth slowly emerges, As reported elsewhere from the finance ministry :

They plan to use (transfer) the budget set for infrastructure investment to pay the farmers.

That would be the 2.2 trillion, if they ever get it

They must be following instructions from someone else. It has been reported that 30-40% of all project money goes into the pockets of politicians.

I'm afraid Brad Adams thinks too much from a Western World perspective. He would do better to start talking about all democratic principles and not only on ballots and votes.

When regional political families 'control' 'their' voters those votes start to loose their democratic value. When a rice farming village doesn't (dare to) vote against their landlords or 'knows' what to expect in return from who they vote for as some poster wrote the democratic principles are totally distorted.

Under such conditions brought to the open by the undemocratic actions of the now caretaker government, an election just for the fun of it seems a futile exercise costing 3.7 billion Baht. Better spent of a reform forum.

That's your opinion, sweetheart. Likewise farmers and reds think that the protesters are goons controled by elite interests.

Differences of opinion should be settled by vote. You seriously diminish the East by saying this is a Western perspective. No, it's about human rights and equality, east/west/south/north.

If this is true, why are the farmers joining the protest against the corrupt government. They turned over the product of their hard work to the government, than the government did not pay the farmers.
