Popular Post webfact Posted October 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2023 A DOZEN POLITICAL activists yesterday (Oct.31) pressed the government to return de facto Pheu Thai boss/”sickly” inmate Thaksin Shinawatra from hospital to jail. The street protesters led by the so-called Students’ & People’s Network For Thailand Reform peacefully gathered outside Government House calling on the Pheu Thai-led government to take Thaksin back to Bangkok Remand Prison from Police Hospital where he has been admitted due to “illnesses” the symptoms and details of which have remained a mystery to the public for more than two months now. The anti-Thaksin activists said Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin would virtually run the country as a puppet allegedly pulled around by Thaksin if he agreed to let him stay longer at the hospital amidst hearsay that the de facto Pheu Thai boss had manipulated to keep himself from being put behind bars. The street protesters have planned to repeat their anti-Thaksin activism until the government returns him to jail since they doubted that he had been so critically ill in the first place.

MrMojoRisin Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Where’s the Yellow Shirts? Where’s the PDRC? Where’s Suthep? Where’s Phra Buddha Issara? Where’s Chitpas Kridakorn? Oh that’s right, Thaksin’s on their team now. That explains the silence. 🤣🤣🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder you have got 9 or 10 confused with your post. How on earth does it help the good of the nation to have a convicted criminal doing easy time, instead of the extra lenient sentence he got anyway, 8 years reduced to 1 year and -I think we all know its a---just wait in comfort in this hospital for the kings birthday, when most prisoner under a year get released.--but whatever you do , dont actually get put into a prison cell..................................

retarius Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) A dozen activists....was it raining or something? The Thai people feel so strongly about Thaksin's malfeasance that a dozen anti-Thaksin people turned up. Maybe it is time to move on past the Thaksin era and focus on what needs to be done now, for the good and betterment of Thai people. Locking Thaksin up will not put food in any kids' bellies up in Issan, won't provide better medical care for the elderly, won't reduce crime, or improve education.....indeed it will achieve nothing except to act as a dummy for some of the toothless old grumps on Asean Now....a dummy to spit every time they hear the name 'Thaksin'. Oh and I forget it would gladden the hearts of those amazing dozen who defied everything and protested....a Nobel Prize for them?

Speaking of yawn - shouldn't the Shinawatra handlers begin to prep the public, and other circles, for her quiet return as well?

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted November 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2023 The really big searing question is why aren't those protesters, and millions more, protesting about a stolen government, a stolen election, and the absolute spurning of the will of the people? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of my stomach removed and 52 staples from my the top of my chest to the bottom. Three days later I was sent home.. Even if you are dying and don't have but a few weeks to live they sent you home with pain medicine and hospice. They must be having to revive him every few hours for him to be in the hospital for that long. Edited November 1, 2023 by Gknrd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK but it seems plenty of Thais (and foreigners) are not convinced he's actually sick, and not convinced he needs to stay in hospital long-term and not convinced he needs to stay in the hospital high end luxury 'royal suite'.

He's a convicted criminal and his case wasn't heard in a kangaroo court. If there's a case that his conviction / crime should be now just forgotten then there's probably several thousand others doing hard time who would be 'entitled' to 'let's forget it'.
