Well and truly time for the caretakers to stop padding the nest.

Clowns have done enough damage.

The incoming government patently have NO ethical principals.

Does it really matter, who is feeding on the Thai trough of taxpayers money?

As long as there are plenty of governmental vehicles from far away Germany with the little "S600" at the left back end .......... 

Well, if anything positive has come out of this shuffling, it is that the biggest joke will be gone. Hopefully, gone for good.

I am not sure about that, Did he expect the job?

 

The top job usually goes to the cop who has only a year or maximum two to go before retirement. That puts that Big joke in the bracket as a bit young for the job I would say.

 

Dunno,maybe I am wrong.
