Yeah, no need to rush it. Only been a decade.

I see your Shinawatra blinkers are back on again.

You don't think it's at all coincidental that all the military led governments can literally get away with anything but when it comes to their 'competitors' (Shinawatra's, Move Forward, Thai Nation Party, the Neutral Democratic Party, Thai Raksa Chart Party, Future Forward Party), they have to be absolutely perfect or face being disbanded, barred or exiled?

Yingluk tried to give more money to her base through rice subsidies and as ill thought out as it was (and badly executed as it was), it certainly didn't warrant the criminal negligence charge she was eventually convicted of, nor the forced exile she has had to endure.  

The Shinawatra's are certainly no angels but these double standards go to the heart of the problem with Thai politics.

 

There's some truth in that but Thaksin was involved in that as well.

During the Red Shirt protests there were several people killed by the army, many who were innocent. Thaksin said he would get justice for them. When Pheu Thai were back in power he covered for the military so he could go after Abhisit and Suthep instead.

She will be kissing the Tarmac in a month or two it’s all been organised by the patient who is so ill that he has now spent 100 days in the police hospital 

The thing is they don't need the Shins anymore - Thaksin helped to kick MF into touch and neutered Phue Thai and that job is done. He will probably get a pardon on December 6th on health grounds as he will be found to be in dire straits. The ruling elites still hate them it's just they have had to tack to the wind in this instance. Yingluck isn't necessary anymore they may well keep her out just to show who has the power which is certainly not them anymore.

They would probably (secretly of course) claim they are the bb! Tony's sentence was reduced from 8 yrs to 1 remember!
