digger70 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 8 hours ago, webfact said: Wissanu Krea-ngarm, Thailand's former Deputy Prime Minister, has put to rest rumours that he may create "legal miracles" to assist Thaksin Shinawatra or Yingluck Shinawatra in their ongoing legal battles. Speaking today, Wissanu said categorically that he is unable to alter the course of justice for either of these high-profile figures. Maybe not him but I bet my Left one someone will/Try or already did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of examples in the last few years. And that is where Thaksin will end up again. A lot of the 'crimes' against him and his family are political. Same as section 112. Same for Pita (and others). Same for anyone who stands for the Thai people. You have to be very brave (and wealthy) to take on the really corrupt folk here - the ultra rich and the military. Nothing will change while people don't change... En-mass protests what would the government do.. jail thousands? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sambum Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Thaksin has already been the subject of a "Legal Miracle" by avoiding jail on his return from "The Wilderness"! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambum Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 9 hours ago, hotchilli said: He may not, but somebody sure paved the way for him to return to Thailand, spent a couple of hours in "custody" before being transferred to his luxury hospital bed where he was being treated for life threatening issues. However he soon recovered due to the expert treatment of Thailands finest Doctors, returning home in a neck brace and arm sling to recuperate during his parole.. which were soon removed to further prove miracles do happen in Thailand. Since then he's been gallivanting around the country, fine dining with the PM and other politicians, having chats with Hun Sen his best friend from Cambodia and trying to sort out Myanmars problems.. not bad going for a man on parole. So is that in itself not some kind of "Legal Miracle"? It would be for any "Average Joe"! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they deserve what they get When there's an election I'm hoping that Khun Pita's Move Forward party again wins a very number of seats. Let'' wait and see and more interesting what will the powers that be do this time to push Move Forward away? Seems to me that the powers that be can't continue to do this forever. Also in the picture is the end result of forming a new senate membership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't things will never change, and forget abut any democratic election in 2027. Srettha will have been side-lined by then, a Thaksin friendly PM brought in, Yingluk brought back and another hand picked senate in place.

Popular Post ezzra Posted May 31 Popular Post Share Posted May 31 By now, everyone in Thailand knows that Thaksin and his clan are a bunch of crooks and yet, they're allowed to continue to meddle in the country political affairs, make statements and pull strings with the patronage and backing of major political figures which begs the question: dose Thailand want to be viewed as a banana republic or can it do better with the right people and step away from crooked, self-serving has beens?... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Wissanu Krea-ngarm is coming to the rescue whenever the proverbial "*ç%ç%"* hits the air movement device - how nice of him! He also got entrusted to teach the prime minister on how to do his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would have thought the extremely corrupt removal of Pita and his replacement with a cabinet that the foul and super toxic army is participating in, after 9 incredibly incompetent years of rule, would have caused the people to rise up, would have caused a massive gnashing of teeth and would have caused millions of people to have taken to the streets. No Such Thing took place. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
