I am looking forward to the swift and forthright condemnation of this action from my own country (UK) and other democracies around the world, together with trade sanctions and diplomatic actions.

 

Then I woke up. It was just a dream.

As you like to believe.

So let's look what will happen. You may wait for the revolution while I bet there will be nothing as business as usual.

The EU already reacted, hopefully more to come, nothing from the island of the little Englanders, kinda shows where you are after brexit. ????

Thanatorn just said he would continue to fight outside of parliament;
civil disobedience can easily be something achievable in this very divided country.
Cutting the food and fuel supply to the capital is very easily achievable.
There are very few train lines, moreover single track; some strategic derails from time to time;
a few cuts in busy roads too and in a very short time Bangkok will cry starvation;
never forget that stocks are in the trucks; if they do not run , the stores are not supplied and in a few days all the shelves are empty.

I can tell you that in the cottages that speak a lot  and tomorrow I think there will be some reactions and discussions to know what to do in response.
know that the great majority of Isaan voted Thanakorn because they know that they can no longer count on the Thaksin family .. who is in exile and has almost no chance of being able to come back here except to taste the joys of Thai prisons ...

I do live in Thailand and I'm no rookie and can assure you that you are talking nonsense. You don't understand Thanathorn (note the spelling) or his base. It's not primarily Issan, it's young educated people from all parts of Thailand. Will they rise up and bring the country to a halt? Not a chance. I really don't know where you get your fantasies from. Certainly not Thai people.

Long live the Communist party of Thailand!

 

 

I hope your not suggesting FF is a communist party?

Thanathorn and the rest of FFP's leadership are now being threatened with personal charges which carry 5 years in prison. Like Thaksin and Yingluck they wil face the choice of living in exile or prison.

Oh dear, another junta lover.

No laws were broken! 

What accounting standards record loans as income?

Only in a madman's la la land.

 

I won't even go into the number of 'laws' that this Junta has broken in this rapidly becoming failed banana land. It would take far too long

They would need funding and a guerrilla type approach.

It would be extremely ugly and even then would only be effective if it targeted Bangkok.

Yeh I'm afraid the inaction from the west to the sham of an election has just empowered these beasts. 

There is no future for Thailand, only a medieval feudal nightmare.

Get out while you can because the poverty and desperateness is about to hit big time and crime will rise exorbitantly
