Popular Post Thaiwrath Posted November 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) He also asked the media not to blow the calendar issue out of proportion, saying that he didn’t want to talk about the issue. Too late Mr P. You have done that already yourself, by sending in police, military personnel and local administration officials to confiscate them. The saying "couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery" comes to mind. Edited November 6, 2018 by Thaiwrath 5 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzra Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) Some people under the impressions that we live in a political paradise much like switzerland or similar, forgetting that a junta of an ex army generals strongmen is running the country, and that those people depicted on the calendar are fugitive from justice and a thorn in the ruling party backsides, so yes, no wonder why it was confiscated....

Popular Post KiChakayan Posted November 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2018 All the symptoms of a paranoid regime. Next will be "The lists". Oh sorry! It has already happened, some opponents have "disappeared".. And, by Thai standards, the Thaksins haven't done anything wrong, hence their non-extradition while globe trotting. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet next week he'll try to ban music that scares him too...oh, hang on a minute, he's been there, done that. Something else he's successfully promoted. Is he going to visit a doctor soon about his foot-in-mouth-disease? 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

korkenzieher Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Like with most things in life - you can make it (them) illegal, but you can't make it (...them) unpopular. Thin-skinned hypocrisy at its worst. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robblok Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 The damage that these calendars could have done is huge. I fully support the junta for taking these actions. These calendars are a direct attack on Thainess. These calendars directly damage one of the most important acts of Thainess being late. People might even use them to start planning ahead, that is unheard of. So ban these dangerous things before they utterly destroy Thainess.
