Is this the start of an all out battle by the red shirts, or are they just going through the motions?

[DocHolliday]

disgusting.

[Jingthing]

A charming bunch those red shirts. It has started.

[Gerontion]

A thoroughly appropriate gift for Abhisit.

[RickBradford]

Looks like a real shit-storm has started....

[bkkjames]

Guess the Thonglor Police Chief will be next to be transferred.

"Do you hold the key to the PM's residence?", an on duty office asked a man carrying brown bags..

To which he replied, 'As you so so shall you reap, this is just fertilizer for the lawn', replied the man

Officer retorts, "Ok go ahead because you smell like crap"

[theoldgit]

And all the police officers based outside never noticed anything?

Oh, such razor-sharp criticism. Carefully, or you'll cut someone.

[TAWP]

I think they just wanted to show him their most valuable product...

Seems to have worked on you

Silly season has started. Fairly mild stuff for now but lets see where it ends up. There must be some planned crescendo before or on Feb 26.

At least it was only in his garden. A few years ago a member of parliament, Uthai Pimchaichon I believe, got it in the face. So childish.

And thanks to the Nation for a serious breach of security by telling everybody exactly where it is....The house is located on Soi Sukhumvit 31.

It is ridiculous. Uthai from what I remember was one of the better parliamentarians and polticians of recent history. It is noticeable the really nasty ones seem to avoid such things. Imagine how Chalerm or Ytuh "dooyen" for example would react

It is not exactly a well kept secret. Nation havent done anything wrong here.

I suggest you head home for a quick holiday trip and try this at the private home of the head of government in your country. I think you'll find out rather quickly just how appropriate this kind of behavior is.

Worst kept secret in the city mate, you think all those SWAT guys on near 31 every night are just hanging around waiting for the nearest diplomat to drive by so they can protect them?

Jesus, what a bunch of uptight little girls. Politics is serious stuff and I'd be overjoyed if the British public took politics this seriously, instead of meekly acquiescing to the antiseptic stage-managed farce which passes for democracy in Britain. Besides, if David Cameron became PM on the back of an army coup, and of course the nod of those who have nods which make and break coups, getting bags of shit pushed through his letter box would - I hope - be the least of his worries.

Have you conveniently forgotten the assassination attempts against him during Black Songkran? Apologias for this type of thing are disgusting.

So, throwing a bag of sh!t is serious stuff ??

Maybe in your playground.

[Insight]

I think we've identified the culprit.

Thought everybody knew where it was, can hardly miss it with all the police outside - looking in the other direction.

[Jingthing]

So this is the pro-democracy movement? Bowel movement more like it.

[Gerontion]

Although you will be sadly missed I am sure that you will find a suitable stone to crawl back under.

Sorry, was that one of your thought-provoking comments? No? You surprise me. This must be one then:

Well, thanks for that. It indeed provoke a thought: you have nothing to say.

[Jingthing]

Do the reddies think this kind of tactic is winning them any more support? As far as I can gather their support has dwindle down to a hard core base who are now dangerously irrational and desperate.

[kuffki]

I am sorry to say, but in what country in the world can someone just 'land" a few bags of whatever. Where was the security? police? does he have any protection or none at all?

Head of state can be reached so easily is a very scary thought

[animatic]

Idiotic.

There's no other word for it.

[Gerontion]

Based on what?

Will lobbing turds into Abhisit's garden cause a change of heart in our dearly beloved leaders? Will they wake up tomorrow and realise that they're in hock to the army and ... well, others, and that because of this their government is illegitimate? No, probably not. Nor, I suppose, will it cause the punters at Gaysorn to throw up the barricades and join, in a spirit of comradely and fraternal love, their brothers and sisters in Dtak and Sri Saket and Prae for a fight to the death to restore some semblance of democracy to Thailand. But it brings attention and keeps the issue of the Democrats (non) legitimacy alive. And it'll probably make lots and lots and lots of people laugh. And that's not something to be dismissed out of hand - I'm pretty sure that there a lot of people here who, if it happened to Gordon Brown or to Barack Obama - who both, despite whatever faults they might have, are far, far, far less deserving of contempt than Abhisit - would not be quite such humourless, po-faced little tossers about it.

Should be good for his garden. Was it of good quality? OTOP produce perhaps?

Should be looked at as a gift, rather than a warning IMHO.
