Finally Thailand got rid of those corrupt Shins. They have stolen billions and on top of it mismanaged this beautiful country. Let's hope Oakie is next. If only you were right! They are lurking, like a bad smell lingers, just waiting for any opportunity to get back in control. That trough is just too big and bountiful!

Personally I know a lot of people who would rather be in Thailand, especially if all your family live there. Dubai? For keeps? Yuck. Oh NO.

NCC1701A Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) Thailand civil war check list: Limited access to 7/11, Big C, Tesco Lotus and fuel due to supply chain disruptions. No YouTube. Facebook. LINE. Limited internet. Dramatic decrease in tourists as Thailand is declared a war zone. Baht corrects 30% Marshall law. Chiang Mai Airport burned. Bangkok airports burned. DMZ set up south of Korat. Complete shut down of all domestic press. Red shirt check points on highways outside Bangkok. Firefights in Bangkok. Rice production stopped. Some Thai banks become insolvent. CNN/BBC and world media report daily with updates of urban warfare in Thailand. Or nothing will happen and everybody will just get drunk.

Unlike you, they don't believe all the Shin BS and PR crap! "Oh, woe is us, all so innocent; it's all political. We're just poor billionaires" There is a slight difference. The Red Bull heir killed a policeman, whilst alleged to be drunk and high. Yingluck (and indeed Thaksin) regardless of their wealth are politicians, ousted by a coup whilst standing for re-election as the then constitutions allowed and required. They have subsequently been convicted in legal processes which by even the most generous of considerations are hardly immune from the influence of the coup makers, and in Yingluck's case the military junta installed by the coup, during an election process, which continues to govern. No amount of pedantry as to the exact process which ousted them, or sardonic yawns at the fact that they were legitimately elected, (unlike the present incumbents), will alter the fact that Interpol and just about every other agency as far down the food chain as the Hemel Hempstead Model Railway Society will ignore any requests for their extradition, or sanctions against them.

No prisoners in Thai jails, in normal circumstances, are manacled while within the confines of the prison facility. Those subject to punishment such as solitary confinement may be.

snoop1130 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Yingluck sentenced to five years By The Nation File photo: Former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra. The Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled unanimously to sentence fugitive former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra to five years in prison. The fugitive politician was convicted of negligence in preventing corruption and irregularities in her government’s rice-pledging scheme prior to the 2014 coup. The Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Political Office Holders ruled that Yingluck had acknowledged the illegality of government-to-government rice deals but refused to cancel a contract with a Chinese state enterprise. The court ruled that the deal involved ill-gotten gains and the dishonest discharge of official duties. “The defendant was found guilty of the alleged offences under Section 157 of the Criminal Code and Section 123/1 of the Organic Act on Counter Corruption 1999 and was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment,” a statement from the court read. The court will issue another arrest warrant against Yingluck, after an initial warrant was issued when she failed to appear before the court on August 25, when the verdict was originally scheduled to be read. The nine-judge panel started reading the verdict at 11.15am and finished at 3pm.

I've asked you and others several times before but never ever one answer. So please share your version of what reconciliation means; the process and what would the expected tangible result be. And please don't suggest forgiveness or amnesty, which IMHO would in this country, just encourage more corruption, cronyism, violence etc., in fact achieve no progress whatever. My version of reconciliation is everybody more knowledgeable about the law and respecting the law, much more understanding of how civil society and democracy works, massive reform of the RTP, the military, the judiciary, education, and all forms of beaurocracy, rebuilt checks and balances with much more public participation, and everybody respecting each other regardless of political flavor, etc., etc. Edited September 27, 2017 by scorecard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm preturbed about is this; there and literally hundreds of pics of them together. Well,,, so what!!?? I've seen a couple where, walking behind, he was glaring at her backside. Is it possible that he made a play for her and got rejected? Might explain his sudden obsession of destoying her. These pics were some 6 months before the Junta takeover. If I get the pics I'll post them up. Edited September 27, 2017 by owl sees all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
