So, a day or two back a report said 77% don't understand the road map and election process. So here we have an article purportedly to clear the issue up, but which instead pats themselves on the back for fighting a drug war the supreme court has acknowledged they have lost, while not actually enlightening folk on the election whatsoever. Bravo! 77% will remain ignorant sheep.

And there was me, thinking this piece was about the election roadmap. Silly me - I should have known it was about combating drugs, or was it just Prayuth getting his wires crossed . . . yes, probably, he's got a lot on his plate, lately. And, as for this Apirat guy; it looks like he's going to have a battle with BJ as to who gets man-of-the-match this month . . . he's everywhere and when he takes a breather from drugs, he goes round the villages, explaining to the ignorant masses, all about how to vote . . . what a feller.
