There's no point getting emotional about politics, especially as foreigners, old farts like most of us here should keep quiet and avoid all talk of politics in public, impotent rage on forums is harmless enough I suppose.....but pointless.

Ridiculous. Politics affects my life here. You might think it doesn't affect yours but you have absolutely no right to be telling others what to think or say about it.

An alternative could be Anutin Charnvirakul and that is a very depressing and scary thought. Anutin is one of the most corrupt individuals in Thailand and his Blue Party is guilty of money laundering and profiteering. I have talked to Thaksin and he seems to be a very intelligent person. I am not advocating his innocence or his return to power but there are certainly much worse out there.  

If it was a choice of one or the other, I'd definitely choose Thaksin, and I hate him. But he's still better than Anutin.

expressing an opinion isn't telling you what to do. Yes politics everywhere affects ones life but even if you had voting rights you are still powerless to change anything, especially here where we are political nonentities, most politicians in the world are sociopaths (my opinion) Thaksin is no worse than the others, he's done nothing to upset me nor has his daughter, it's up to the Thais to sort out, in the West we have bigger problems than that.

This is not about America.

I seriously doubt his influence is still considerable. He seems more like a humiliated outcast at this point. She is finished. And she never deserved the position. The entire family is very toxic. 

 

Clear out the dinosaurs.

Simultaneously, Thaksin is facing a lese majeste lawsuit in a separate legal matter. The former prime minister is awaiting a court ruling set for August 22, dealing with his alleged remarks about the monarchy's role in the 2006 coup that ousted him.

How dare he!!!

The Shins need to permanently move to Dubai or London and never return.

I don't know too much about Dubai, but please don't send them to London, they already have enough criminals, especially oligarchs from Russia.

 Thaksin Moves to Shield Daughter from Impeachment….

by organizing transport and accommodation overseas in case the drones and the boots don’t yield favorable results.

Lacking presence or permission of the RTM how dare the Head of the Thai government try a diplomatic resolution with her Cambodian counterpart! 

It is quite clear that the sovereignty of the RTM has been breached (regardless of any transcript of the phone call being made publically for the public to judge on if there is and transcript or recording).

The only real question is how they end up being removed from power eventually, overwhelming people power with an election result that decimates them, or tanks.

 

"overwhelming people power with an election result" we have already seen in the recent past, it didn't help. The brown envelopes are much more overwhelming.

RTM??

Thai people seem to have very short memories Taksin has robbed them of billions of dollars and is still. Doing so he ran away from a jail. Sentence which in any other country he would be immediately arrested and serve the 8 years in prison but not this POS he lies and facks his injuries and a couple months later all is forgotten and he's back in charge,,,, the Thai people need to stand up and fight his kind of corruption and lock the whole family up for ever..

Rural Thais haven't forgotten.....but neither do they seem that bothered.

 

They simply accept that corruption is endemic and the better you are at it the richer and more powerful you get......it is the way of the world, sadly.

BBEs on there way
