webfact Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 For First Time, Prayuth Confirms ‘Interest’ In Politics By Teeranai Charuvastra, Staff Reporter Junta chairman Prayuth Chan-ocha speaks to reporters Monday BANGKOK — Ditching the evasive non-answers he’s given for months, junta chairman Prayuth Chan-ocha on Monday for the first time confirmed he’s interested in a political career. Gen. Prayuth told reporters at the Government House he has yet to decide which party or who he will support, even as he maintained he will not quit his powerful posts as prime minister and junta chief while he mulls his political allegiance.

Will that anger him, and to quote him on that subject, "punch them in the face"? Edited September 24, 2018 by bluesofa grammar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ossy Posted September 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2018 Well, let's face it . . . he did convert from soldier to politician, way back in January. Or maybe it's taken since then for the playful one to understand the seriousness of 'politician'. Perhaps better for all concerned if he simply admitted that he was still a child, struggling to decide which fancy dress costume to wear. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Cadbury Posted September 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) He will leave his final confirmation for as long as he can. Because then he will be required to follow the same rules he has imposed on others. No advantage in that for him; so later the better. Junta trickery holds no bounds; they hold all the aces.

Can't wait to see him in the phone box, changing costume, with his underpants on the outside (probably not a good idea for Prawit though, given his recent 'medical emergency') 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was only interested - paranoid, more like - in stopping PTP-enabled funds, largely generated via elite/establishment taxes, etc, heading out into the sticks, towards us poor people. That made him and his kind so angry ???? you could literally fry an egg - let's make that 3 eggs - on his forehead . . . ain't that right, Uncle Tu? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, remembering whose payroll he [et al] was/is on. The "coup" - or any coup, for that matter - was not independently orchestrated. They were ask to intervene, per usual. Very second nature to this circle. Edited September 24, 2018 by zzaa09 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
