Popular Post Scot123 Posted November 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2019 The slant on reporting is unbelievable. It really amazes me how expats who enjoy democracy in their home countries belive that Thailand should not be permitted to have democracy. She was an elected PM, she could even put her name on a ballot paper and win an election today as could her brother as they are who the country's majority want and the elite and their military know it. I am not a fan but am a fan of democracy and being ex military despise bullies and anyone who raises a gun at their own people. 18 2 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even a good photoshop, look at the line of shadow on her face and the piece of background which you can see through the vehicle. That bit is weirdly in-focus, but the rest of the background is not. Click the photo to see what I mean. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand it can have many explainations. In the background all over you can see that it´s darker down, and therefore not same clear. Maybe nothing with focus. The lines might be sunlight, shadow or other things. You can se lines in many other places too. Not saying that you are wrong. It wouldn´t surprise me if you are right either.

Grumpy John Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Thank goodness she had the sense to take suitcases full of cash with her on the Euro trips when she had PM privilege otherwise she would have had to take a ordinary old style rickshaw on her China trip. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neeray Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I'm guessing she's dumped a few million into the drone company's shares. Maybe even a few billion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizboi Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) None of the farmers that killed themselves in poverty and misery because of her policies of not paying them for the rice they grew will ever fly in a drone but hey dont let that fact get in the way that her party bullied and threatened its way into power at the polling stations - by the way not saying the current option is any better!! Just saying corruption makes all options over the last 100years BAD in the LOS!! It would be naive to believe otherwise!!

Popular Post holy cow cm Posted November 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2019 She is so much more cute and interesting to watch than the current PM. And seems like she has bigger balls too taking a chance riding in that thing. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
