Say what you really mean bro. But fair play, I like your style. ????

You didn't find my post too ambiguous then?

No no, most pithy and to the point.

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! 

I think you are right. When the military is in power with the endorsement of the ruling class, who can take the power back? What coup has been successful overthrowing a junta? And with political dissenters going missing and washing up in the Mekong, it's clear nobody is allowed to speak truth to power. We're fortunate we can leave this mess behind and it's unbelievable the gov't thinks it can attract quality longstayers, between the danger and the desperation, I can only stomach a couple months there before I have to leave.

I was thinking "Europe - The Final Countdown"...

The EU's demise, along with the Euro, has been forecast thousands of times especially by the Daily Express but the ship is still sailing with countries still willing to join.

I imagine he is seeking advice from Boris about survival, they are both good at it.

Of course, but look at those countries. The type wanting to be propped up that will never be nett contributors. Many french, Dutch even Germans don’t want it, but have no say. The EU machine is akin to Cha-cha’s. Full of unelected officials with little accountability.
