what's next then? Someone attempting to destroy the honor of the Royal Thai Police? The honor of the Judicial System? The honor of Thai Buddhism?

Appears to me that there is no honor to be found there in the first place. For to have honorable institutions you need honorable people leading them.

He has a second in command for successful undermining.

Judging from his grumbling

I suspect he was in a beastly mood after reading the report of how that gaggle of fools who went to Germany failed on their mission. Thus he can be partly excused for his erratic behavior at the meeting. The loss of face for him must have been huge. 

He is probably also be worried that when he visits Germany they will poke it up him in a nice diplomatic way and the ego denting will be further exacerbated.

We'll probably kill journalists who don't report the truth, says Thai leader.

Will he carry out this threat?

I hear he'll be taking his cardboard cutout with him to talk to the media. How the BBC copes with that is anybody's guess.

You beat me to it.

But such a comment is risky. I commented on something similar yesterday where I saw a Prayut/Trump comparison and another member told me I was an idiot (or something like that) because the thread was not about Trump.

Glad you said it. I totally agree.

 

 

There's only one thing wrong with such ridiculous clueless comparisons.  While Trump certainly is a dangerous thin-skinned loose cannon and truly deserves a lot of the bashing, he certainly did not seize the country in an illegal military coup, trashed the constitution, robbed the people of their democracy, and continues to hold the citizens hostage.  If you hate Trump, or whatever, face the fact that he is the duly elected POTUS.  You can instead, like I do, blame the failed US political system that left us (Americans) with 2 bottom of the barrel presidential candidates.  I certainly am not pro Trump, but shudder to think where we would be now had criminal "pay-for-play" Hillary Clinton won the election.  Post-election she has also proven herself to be a supreme nutcase who continues to publicly blame everybody else for her election loss.

 

And neeray, sorry buddy, but in this case I can't disagree with the other member you mentioned.

[spidermike007]

The media does not have to undermine his leadership. He is doing an incredibly good job of that, on a daily basis. There is no leadership. No moral, ethical, or practical leadership. Just a tiny man pretending that he gives one iota about the welfare of the nation, and the common man, when in reality just the opposite is the case.

 

Get out, get out, you are not wanted, you are not liked, few approve of you, and your time for departure is long overdue. Get out now.

Nicely commented to me. It would be nice if you could teach Trump some of your gentle diplomacy. While I don't disagree with "some" of his policies and ideas, I find his brash ways very distasteful. "When America sneezes, Canada catches a cold". Our economy is suffering a very serious cold" right now. One way or the other, I'll be glad to see his NAFTA hard-on settled. The indecision is murdering our economy (and my business).

Is this thread about Donald Trump-or is this your standard tactic when attempting to divert the topic away from lance-corporal Cutout?

I am always happy to comment on Mr Cutout. But when a response causes the reply to go a little away from Mr Cutout, that is the appropriate response. What's the problem. Oh, never mind.

Feel free to give Lance-jack Cutout your best shot.

No that I give advice often .....

1. Never pick a fight with some-one that buys paper by the ton and ink by the barrel

2. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer

It wasn’t immediately clear what triggered his outburst.

"In January [2018], Human Rights Watch released a report saying that forced labour and other rights abuses remained “widespread” in the Thai fishing industry despite the government reforms"

“Many of the human rights problems in Thailand’s fishing industry are common to migrant workers in sectors throughout Thailand’s economy, whose exploitation is aggravated, and sometimes caused, by the government’s haphazard national policies,” http://www.scmp.com/week-asia/politics/article/2137480/thailand-says-it-trying-protect-migrant-workers-so-why-are-they

Thai Fisheries and relevant authorities are awaiting a European Union review of the country’s status on IUU – illegal, unregulated and unreported – fishing problems.

http://www.nationmultimedia.com/detail/national/30337351

The EU inspectors' visit ended in April 2018 and report is due.

Maybe it's been leaked that the EU Commission on IUU will continue its Yellow Card that was issued 3 years ago.

Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha on Wednesday vented his frustration at the media, accusing them without naming names of attempting to destroy the “honor” of Thai premiership.

 

Oh come on Prayut!

You came like a thief in the night armed with the military you stole & took the premiership illegally

If anyone has destroyed the honor it is you alone

 

If instead you had done your sworn duty & upheld law & order as directed by the then elected govt none of this would have happened.

 

Someday you will hopefully hang for treason next to your cronies as you should

I too see a tremendous lack of consumer confidence in my business. And many others. Trump has been devastating to the US economy. Of course the large corporations have done well, as he has managed to transfer a massive amount of wealth from the poor and middle class, to his buddies, and the corporations. But the common man once again, is taking a hit. And they are not spending much money. They are scared what this village idiot might do next. Captain Chaos leads the day. And tomorrow, nobody can predict what Mr. Unstable will do.

My preciouuuuuuus premiership, they wants to steals it from us. Precioooouus.

 

"But I don’t understand why several people try to destroy the honor of the prime minister – not me but the prime minister of Thailand"

 

Unelected PM doesn't hold the same honour.

 

For some reason the connotations in this story and ranting outburst reminds me of Macbeth.

The very thought that this guy has any honour is a complete fiction. He was only put where he is now to achieve one thing, and that was the reversal of the CM - there is no lie he will not tell, nothing he will not steal and no fiction he will not create to explain his own ineptitude and dishonour, and present both as being completely different things.

 

That's all.
