It's clever the way they photoshop out the strings

Unity & Progress in Thailand   ?    am I missing something here ... 

Such a pathetic farce

A note to Shiniwatra the younger, stop stealing elections from highly qualified people who are voted in by the people and for the people, and maybe we will have a chance of unity and forward progress. 

Unity and progress (through cronyism and corruption)...

The People's Party.

Her level of insincerity is only topped by her lack of talent and experience. 

Profound. Her words will echo down the centuries.

She will be out soon, once the one pulling the strings tires of her. And I dont mean her father 

Nobody will ever understand the politics in Thailand.  The Same Sex Marriage Law passed by thye parliament, the Senate , His Majesty the King signed it and it was published in the Royal Gazette.. The law would be active after 120 days but confusion if it was 22 or 23  January. A judge/court had to decide.. Today at last the court gave the verdict it will be 23 January.. But suddenly Mr Anutin must sign the law, and he refuses... so still nobody knows when or if the Same Sex Marriage will go on.. Why is Anutin refusing? he has no power to old it against as the King signed it and approved.. Probably he want to show he has power and will sigh maybe the 22nd. It is a disgrace how the LGHBTQ  community is treated by this Government..

And than Ms pupput making nice promisses.. They even can't anything good
