It just shows you that the tiger does not change its stripes, nor the leopard its spots. In Thailand, the 'Democrat' Party is the Support-the-Militarist-Oligarchy Party. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, hasn't it been always known that the Democrats have a traditional loyalists/Thai establishment leaning? Reflective of their truer colours. This candid call for reform and moderisation might be born of the classic Thai twisted rhetoric. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomta Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Stupid question I know but aren't there any charges hanging over this guy -evading arrest, reckless driving, speeding just for starters? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smutcakes Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 For some reason i re watched that awful program on youtube made by VINE the other day and it was so cringey i nearly had to turn it off. The highlight being when he is driving 'his pony' and says there is nothing quite like driving his pony through Bangkok at night, and THAT is what they are fighting for! I just cannot comprehend what goes on in these people's heads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
