People Go Network activists launch their long march to highlight 4 policy issues

 

 

After about 10 hours of inconclusive talks on Saturday (Jan 20), members of the People Go Network started their long march from Thammasat University’s Rangsit campus to their destination in Khon Kaen to highlight four pressing issues of the government policy that they would like the people to share their views.

 

The 450-km march started at about 4 pm despite police attempt to block the march, claiming that it was illegal. 

 

Most of the long march participants were blocked by the police at the TU’s Phahonyothin gate, but 12 marchers managed to come out and launched the march.

Get your facts correct Steven, hundreds of police blocked marchers, preventing them from taking part.

The first raindrops of the ensuing storm perhaps?

close your eyes  and you will see none

 

According to the linked article the actual number of people who manged to avoid the cordon and start marching is 12.

 

Big enough to get arrested, but not big enough to be charged by an APC (and crushed beneath its tracks).

 

Thus, once again, not the catalyst for revolution ("so it begins" etc, etc).

 

Does anyone ever read the links?

 

Could TVF save a bit of money/bandwidth if it stopped posting them?

 

Would anybody care?

14% of the American population and the French Fleet made life so difficult for the British, they left.  Junta should take Prems comments seriously and fulfill their promises and allow elections.  Junta will face more than 14% in the coming years.

There are just a lot of people here who live on violence and would like nothing more then a bloody revolution. You see them posting all the time. Just like coups bloody revolutions certainly are not a good thing. Maybe those member just want bloodshed in BKK.. seen that mentioned before too. I bet they were a lot less happy about it if it happened in their neck of the woods.

They march in groups of 4 to stay under the limit of 5 which is an illegal group..

Nobody wants blood, what is wanted, needed is change.  However the good alternatives seem limited if in fact non existent in relation to the Junta being the least favourable administrators of the country. None the less, the people should  have the right to protest and demonstrate their frustration without being bullied by the authorities.

That is what your saying.. and its not what i read in the posts some people just need their bloody revolution. I have seen the same people savior the idea of it quite a few times. If people don't like bloodshed they would not purpose it so often and without any side notes.

 

People should have the right to protests that is for sure, just not have the right to protest where they want. Back in my country (democratic for sure) you need to have a license to demonstrate and you can't demonstrate everywhere they will look at the rightrs of others (shopkeepers residents and so on). The reds had one good demonstration outside of BKK.. did not stir any trouble.. why not do that again instead of blocking the whole of BKK

When you take power by force.. When you deny people (a majority) the right to participate and allow collective control.. The only course of action you leave a population to secure its right to govern is bloodshed. 

 

Should it come to that, there is only one place the blame for it will lie.
