Boris Johnson has been playing 'when you're going through hell, keep on going' to his cabinet.

I suppose comparisons to Nero would not be well received.

Have to admit this goes to top 3, however the news story about not criticizing honest serving police force of thailand I think still holds number one position in the most entertaining news story of the year list. 

 

I want more this stuff for my morning coffee reads! 

 

Would be nice to read equally funny news from other countries too. Seems Thailand is in class of their own in this category

It got coined 1987 with "Amazing Thailand" and now the primus-inter-pares starts playing little songs in the government house. Well, in all fairness, then he is doing nothing worse ???? 

I just wait for the moment when someone will invoke the fairytale "The Emperor's new clothes". 

As long as it is possible for proven crooks with questionable university degrees out of a laundry shop and a history in Western jail term like Sunnyboy Thammanat to climb into an MP position - such countries are simply "failed states". Combine this with "conflict of interest" and you have "Government of Thailand"! 

The present circus is in power after having declared 6+ million voters choice as invalid and, instead of running new elections, just carry on with their stealing, lying and looting 24/7 - for years, unhindered and in some cases even government sponsored and assisted. 

Thailand has the government it deserves and only Thais, as uneducated as the big lot is, could invoke changes which we will not see coming anytime soon. Once reality kicks in, say in one to two generations, this country will be doomed. Remember the Philippines in the early 80s and compare it with this wreck of democracy which is called Pilipinas today. For every step forward since 1986 they jumped three steps backwards.

I just hope that I am wrong with my clouded forecast - for the sake of my children and grandchildren which will have to clean up the mess of our generation!

Our respected and wonderful leader - our father - you must love him

I will forward "Ya Yom Pae" to No 10. Perhaps Boris can take a leaf from the General's leadership book and play it during PM question time. I can see the Parliamentarian faces now.........

A General with a diminishing army of MPs and followers someone needs to tell him that his days are numbered the people have had enough of him and the rest of his clowns !

He is so dangerous as he actually believes he's a good person. History will judge him very poorly for his take-over.

played an old hit song, “Ya Yom Pae” (Never Give Up) by singer Sunisa “Aom” Sukboonsang

I would instead have recommended Marsha Wattanapnich's "Pit pai laew" (The Mistake's Already Been Made) or perhaps Christina Aguilar's evergreen "Mai yaak ja cheu loey" (I Can't Believe It). Myria Benedetti's "Yaa tham, yaa tham!" (Don't Do It, Don't Do It!) conceivably could've been an excellent choice as well.

 

And coming to think of it, Sunisa Sukboonsang's "Toy dii khwaa" (Better Step Back) would have been even more appropriate.

If you want to play grammar police, steven, at least be correct yourself. While spelt is indeed okay (albeit a type of wheat), spelled has better prose and no ambiguity. Thusly: Oh, and by the way, you spelled thieving incorrectly. ????
