the junta fan boys are like bait, trying to hook line and sinker posters by switching attention of the thread into a totally different direction; Do they realise that no one is taken in by it 

 

Nice of the junta to creepily push the 20 year plan through whilst everyones attention is on the cave and sea rescue.

I do have my reservation whether the bill will be endorsed without changes. Recent signs of dissatisfaction with the growing power of the military by the man have manifested in changes to the some laws. 

Yes, they have, haven't they. Things are going backwards at an accelerating pace.

Yes, my friend. Absolutism is alive and well and thriving in Thailand ...

Education Minister says mission accomplished.

Yes indeed - the mission is to keep the bulk of the Thais ill-educated, and certainly not schooled in genuine critical and independent thinking. That would be far, far too dangerous for the faux-elite who run (sorry: ruin) Thailand.

Well, a 20 year fascist program passed by a rubber stamp arse kissing parliament gets it's pathetic passage approved by dinosaurs that won't live to see it through and it'll be ripped up by the next generation. Surprised these morons haven't seen it.   

 

Oh, well...whatever. Sooner you morons are gone the better...won't be long.

There is nothing to indicate that the Minister of Education himself has had a decent education. I doubt he could count to ten without help.

A quick research suggests he has no qualifications whatsoever to hold down that job. Must have family or military connections.

His job is to protect the rampant corruption within the education system.

 

I think the term is 'rubber-stamped'.

Shocking, truly shocking 

One doesn't need to be an Einstein to understand why the arrogant Lilliputians running Government House wish to tie down their elected successors with unbreakable reams of regulatory red tape.

 

But what will happen if - or, rather, when - their much-vaunted "master plan" fails to deliver a more prosperous, democratic Thailand than the one they have created after four years of muddling and meddling.

 

We all know the mayhem which ensued when Gulliver finally woke up and decided to fight free of the bonds binding him. Let's just hope this won't be another case of life imitating art.
