newnative Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Is this #20 or #21? Either one, I am, of course shocked, I tell you. Shocked that he is not coming. Who'd have thunk it?

hotchilli Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 4 hours ago, webfact said: The return of Thaksin Shinawatra, former prime minister of Thailand and reputed de facto head of the Pheu Thai Party, has been delayed. The strategy appears aimed at facilitating his smooth return, once a government led by his party comes into play, disclosed an unnamed source within Pheu Thai yesterday. Until PTP are in the hot seat, made a bargain plea to pardon him, he will not set foot in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever wondered why he has never been extradited to face his alleged crimes thought up by yet another illegal military coup? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think that? His party was in power for several years whilst he fled from Thailand but he never came back then. Perhaps he knew it was impossible to receive a full pardon then, but as there have been a change at the top, so maybe he got his hopes up. But we don't know what's happening behind the scenes. Maybe advisors thought the popularity of the institution would be enhanced by the return of the working classes' hero, especially if he was tamed and kept on a tight leash, as it were. But maybe thinking has changed amongst the elite. We don't know. Is it worth it to let Thaksin back? There could be a lot of boos, protests if PT has joined hands with the junta boys. Thaksin could be vilified by many. Is it worth it, it's not going to be seen to unite the country as originally thought, there's these 14 million oranges to think about, plus disaffected reds and PT supporters. 'Nah! Let him stay away', may be their thinking. Toni, counting the grains of sands in Dubai 1,2,3... ' I'm up to 20 now!' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dogmatix Posted August 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2023 4 hours ago, bannork said: Paetongtan left looking very silly after she called Chuvit delirious or more politely, deluded, for doubting Thaksin would come back on the 10th. Yesterday I watched a clip from a PT rally prior the election where she works up the cheering crowd, proclaiming if PT took power: ' We'll switch off the senators' power. We'll not accept the three Ps- (Pravit, Prayuth and Anupong).' Really? If you want Daddy home you'd better change your mind. Ung Ing also announced when she was appointed "head of the PT family" that the party would amend 112 because it was used as a political weapon (as well known by many of her dad's red shirts who are rotting in jail for LM). She was roundly attacked by Prawit's party spokesman for this but PPRP and the senators seem to have forgotten about it, although Srettha's announcement of support for amending 112 on the campaign trail is more recent and still remembered with help from Chuvit who has been promoting clips of it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogmatix Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) Ha ha ha. Anyway it was predictable that Tony was not coming home at this point. It was just a smokescreen to distract attention from PT's unsavory dealings with the uncle parties. Now they have finally pulled the chain on MFP, it's plain for all to see. So no more point in keeping the smokescreen going. Bad luck for Tony that the constitution court has delayed the PM vote. Tony was obviously counting on it being today and having the PM job under his controls. Now there is more time for people to contemplate what he has done in trashing democracy. Also more time for people to get their minds around Srettha's role in signing off on the sales structure of the piece of land on Sarasin that looks very much as if Sansiri colluded in tax evasion by agreeing to transact the purchase of a single title deed for a rai of land into 12 separate transactions on 12 different days. This should probably have been treated as a partnership for tax purposes, rather than 12 individual sales, since all names were on the sole title deed. Even if Sansiri didn't benefit, it looks like a major breach of corporate governance and ethics to allow a structure that looks like it was designed to evade tax. The Land Department officials and the sellers will also have some interesting questions to answer. Such a weird sales structure involving the withdrawal of hundreds of millions in cash could not have been approved by anyone other than the CEO, Srettha. The seller family's tax adviser screwed up by telling them to put all the names on the deed, instead of breaking it up into 12 different deeds which have made it totally legit to tax as individual sales.
