Unfortunately Suthep is a microcosm of what's wrong wit Thailand.

 

He's as corrupt as they come, yet affiliated with the regime du jour, destined to continue raping and pillaging the regular folks, who seem to have an amazing tolerance for corruption from top to bottom

++But Thailand was drawn into the preliminaries of a civilian war by the political hotheads on both sides while one side was floating the Idea of forming another army, splitting the country, threatening in word and deed political opponents and threatening to start burning buildings again.

As of now, there are effectively two factions facing each other in the army - effectively two armies when the factions come to blows, which is likely, the junta have spent the last 4+ years threatening in word and deed anyone they consider a political opponent, and the country is as split, if not more so, along ethnic and economic lines, as it was during Sutheps rampages.

This worm is the worst of the worst here in Thai politics and should be in jail for his lies and treasonous activity. Only reason he isn't is because he knows where all the bodies are buried and his misdeeds ultimately are shared in by many others currently in power. If I could choose just one person for justice to catch up with here, then this slimy toad would be it.

The most insidious, corrupt, dangerous, politician this country has known in the last few decades.

Needs to be strung up from the nearest lamp post.

Hideous monster.

I do wish you would get off that fence and tell us what you really feel 'guzzi!????

He is an establishment politician. Not quite the same typical politician. In Thailand it meant a whole lot different and a whole lot immunity and feeding opportunities.

Nope..he is just your usual mafioso.

 

If it was Mexico-he would be wearing a sombrero,with crossed gun belts astride (queasily) a white horse and shouting "Viva la Som Tam!" lustily whilst organizing bangkok peasants for their final stand.

 

Even Sam Peckinpah couldn't do this runty little bunch justice.

I am not commenting on your economy observations since they are largely fatuous.

 

The civilian disturbances you refer to were orchestrated by the army in close liaison with Suthep and his fellow gangsters. To give the Junta credit for quietening things down is like give giving a burglar credit for the ensuing peace after he has ransacked your house.

 

Here we have it, hot off the press, all the disturbances were false flag operations orchestrated by the army in close liaison with Suthep.

 

That nice Mr. Thaksin who even said himself that he's never ever done any wrong, in his life, never ever and his sweet little sister would never have been party to such violence or orchestrated it themselves.

 

So cunning how stooges were even made to look like Red Shirt leaders, CAPO leaders, DSI boss, etc etc to fool the people into believing it was the red shirts non elected leaders causing trouble.

 

Well I never. Wonder if Jayboy has any evidence to share with us? Can't wait to see it!

Don't think there's many poor "typical politicians" either.

Suthep is a lot like many Thai visa users real black and white. If you are against the junta your pro Thaksin. (according to Suthep). According to many posters here if you dislike Thaksin you love the junta. 

 

I think its good that the democrats turn away from the junta, that does not mean they have to like Thaksin just means they don't like the junta. 

 

I can't wait to se the election results, will be real interesting to see how the voting goes. I can only hope for huge support of future forward.

Fanboys do indeed die hard.

 

Let us all remember that fanboys haven't just spent several years here posting about disliking Thaksin, fanboys have actively and feverishly supported not only the Junta but also Suthep and his whistle blowers. Fanboys actively chose to oppose democracy with the false and facile reasoning that Thaksin is the devil, somehow believing this nonsense justified their full throated support of what is basically fascism and most certainly worse than Thaksin on every imaginable metric.

 

One can be against Thaksin and FOR democracy, your post history shows you were with anti Thaksin and anti democracy and no amount of weasel words and false dichotomies will change that fact.

Not a chance ! Abhisit in my opinion is one of the few politicians with integrity and intelligence. It is a pity though that he does not do more for the farangs who have chosen to make Thailand their home ????

Your not a great judge of people are you? 

Help the farang - your having  laugh - he should be in jail, another "butcher" who will turn guns on his "own" people (not the Geordies ???? )

Suthep is one despicable person with not one scintilla of integrity.

Leaving aside your over-excited Thaksin related rant, it's a matter of record there was close liaison between Suthep and Prayuth. It's hardly surprising since the publicly stated yellow aim was to bring about a military coup.

 

If you really want to go over the well-hashed history, of course there were well-intentioned ordinary people involved who were appalled at the inane umbrella amnesty proposal from the Shinawatra camp.They were used.

 

It was said of the restored French Bourbon dynasty that they had learnt nothing and forgotten nothing. I am under no illusion that many of the Bangkok middle class haven't learnt any lessons from the last few years. Neither it appears have you.

Why is he still at large, he was the man who shut down Bangkok in 2014, at the same time you can read that a man has been given 7 years in prison to shoot an animal.

I read this morning that the junta backing party asked the same question. Imo just another way of trying to find something with which to dissolve yet another party.

He has never won an election to be PM even in this life.

 

As for Suthep , you could look under a million rocks across all the continents and never find something as nasty.

 

A pity he ever got out of a Petri dish.

Enema is more like it 

Let us hope he is not supporting Suthep after all the trouble he caused leading up to the military coup. I seem to recall that he had arrest warrants against him that were never enforced, and travelled around with a bunch of goons for protection.

At the risk of pedantry, no he did not shut down Bangkok in 2014. The numerous 'Final Pushes' were descending into apathy.

His comrades in the military timed their 'rescue' coup appallingly as a result.

He would be better off as a monk back in a temple!!
