Rival Thai 'Yellows' Discuss Moves As 'Reds' Rally On

[fullcave]

The wife's brothers have just arrived in Bangkok to join the Red protest.

Believe me, you would not fuk with these guys.

I really hope there are no yellow/red clashes. It would get very nasty very quickly.

Why, are they mafia or hoodlums or is it they just like to make trouble?

TAN Network: Peoples Alliance for Democracy (PAD) gives the govt 7 days to take action against wrongdoers otherwise they will come out themselves

That will be a vote of no confidence from the Yellows then.

In a normal democracy - we should be then heading for the polls.

Wait a minute, isnt that what the Reds want?

Wait a minute this isnt a normal democracy.

wait a minute this isnt a democracy.

wait a minute TIT.

And the show rolled on!

I give you 7 days to retract that, otherwise I will come out.

[dobadoy]

There's a great big banner put up by the reds saying 'We just want democracy'. Let's see then, shall we.

Will they tolerate the right of others to voice their opinion when the yellow shirts come out? Or will they try to intimidate all those who disagree with them? The evidence over the last month or so would point to the latter and, if so it turns out, will give the lie to the whole dam_n sham behind Thaksin's private war.

That's vertebrate, and be careful because gigiman has "farm boys" working for him. Come to think of it, isn't this precisely the sort of condescension that they Reds are protesting about? You know, being treated like children? I'll have to ask my pukka wallah.

LOL, that missing "t" made me loose my whole face, but thanks for pointing it out anyway. By the way, do you mean to ask your punka wallah?

Careful now, or I'll send my "farm boys" over to sort you out!

Nope non of the above, just hard working country boys with an absolute commitment to the Red socialist cause.

Contrary to what many assert about Red-supporters and their inability to listen, I actually do enjoy reading the opinions of those I disagree with. There's certainly no better place to find that than here on the thaivisa forums. It's certainly more interesting than constantly reading blogs written by those I agree with! I want to know how you think and why your opinions are so different than my own

Here's my hypothetical question for the pro-govt supporters:

An election is held sometime this year. The Reds/Pheu Thai party succeed in placing their favorite candidate in the PM's chair.

What's the best plan for those who support the currrent Abhisit government? Another coup? Another attempt at mass disqualification of everybody in Pheu Thai? Further attempts to censor pro-Pheu Thai, pro-Red media?

Straight talk answers preferred, not poetry. Up to you, though.

Thanks.

I can't be sure about that, let me consult my "farm boys" and get back to you.

O.K., they tell me that condescending supercilious advocacy of and anticipatory joy in violence lives on!

Wonderful!!!

Let them rule and beat them in the next election if they screw up, most likely.

The beauty of the Parliamentary form of government is that the opposition are always there to dig up the trash.

None of the above. They get to form the government and they get to govern until the next election - provided that there aren't violations of the electoral law.

hmmm, then why go through the process now of unscheduled elections????? The current government is a legal government. Should the Reds disagree with this then they should use the law and court system as any rational group would do in this day and age. Well I guess they did go to the election commission but then again didn't they force their way in while threatening and terrorizing folks there while making demands.

It depends who that favourite candidate is. If they manage to get Thaksin a pardon and bring him back as PM then the protests will just continue under a different colour. If they put someone else in, Chalerm for instance, they will be under intense pressure to bring the poor Isaanites to the promised land. People are forgetting that it's all very well for the reds to protest under the change banner, not that I personally feel that's what many are actually there for, but can and will they be able to deliver on that if they do get into power? Again, personally, I feel that it will all be conveniently forgotten and it will be back to rip off the poor, the country, and anyone else without a voice, politics as usual. As I've said in a number of posts, the red leaders are very quiet when it comes to actually talking post election policies and how they intend to deliver on their promises.

Great one! I didn't even think about Nazism but it certainly gets close to describing what Thaksin was becoming. In fact the Red Shirts are acting a lot like the SS in their one sided views and beliefs on how change should come about. Certainly not the same but a lot of similarities.

Who is "we".... The Thai people certainly need this...

[Royk]

If there is a physical clash, the Reds will win, provided the army stays out of it. the Reds are tough folks. The men are real men, not delicate city dwellers that are not used to physical hardship. The Reds are not the ones that will need to put on the whitening cremes, scents and body lotions before the go into battle. I'm sure if there is some girl on girl 'rassling action the redshirts will win.

You got that right !!! My Isan farm boys are some tough dudes ,, real men used to hardship and staying power. I would love to have video of some of these spoiled rotten , pampered elitist teenagers going against them.

Any of you yellows have some thoughts of a fight ? I suggest you stop by the rally site and quietly walk among the crowd and see what you are up against.

You will see many ex military types, ( as black shirt guards ) and some very tough fanatical, committed people some of whom are ready to die for this protest.

The elites had their way with the country and brought it to its knees last time and imposed their minority will on the country. Now its our time and our right to express our opinion,, and if they try to get in our way all I can say is:

LET THE MAYHEM BEGIN !!! Its payback time.

Your time? Are you a Thai? Both sides(red and yellow) are led and financed by extremely rich Chinese descendants. It's not exactly a struggle between the poor and the rich. Leaders of both colours are the elites. The people behind the red movement are among the richest people in the country. The protesters are just their pawns. Both have real and paid supporters. I fell sorry for the genuine ones on both sides. They are the ones fight for their lost cause. Some of those mean looking blokes you see could easily switch sides depending on who is paying the best price on a particular day.

BTW, if your mayhem begins, it would pave the way for the military to take over. Tons of people are fed up with the red and BTW, they are not on good terms with the yellow either. These are the ones beginning to see the military as the solution because the civilian governments have been unable to find a solution for yellow and red problems. It's a growing trend. If enough people see it this way, we can be in for a long haul of military rule. Thailand might be on the way to become a totalitarian state like Myanmar. Thai people are not like westerners. Many are content to live under the military rule as long as it brings back peace and quiet to their lives.

Best regards,

Roy

OK... now state why the Thai people need this. Tell us you vast experience in all things Thai and while your you're at it write it in Thai for those that can speak Thai. If you can do this, then you have done more than the Red leadership has done.

What do they think of Taksin?

[OzMick]

Haven't heard anyone speculate about the plan of the reds to withdraw all their money from Bangkok Bank. If they really do this could bring down the Bangkok Bank. That in turn might lead to a financial meltdown of Thailand. I wonder how many people would still vote for PT in that case.... Really quite irresponsible but what can you expect????

Perhaps the yellows are going to boycott AIS and all other businesses linked to the Shinawatra family?

Ummmm, doesn't that sort of clash with the poor, starving sick innocent protesters line, especially when GK tells us they are all rural warriors, fit and ready to fight. That's the problem with lies, you have to have a good memory.

[dinooz]

There are an awful amount of mentally sick Farangs in Thailand. Maybe they should seriously think about going back to their respective countries or are the Mental hospitals full in their home countries?

Maybe they see things a little clearer from the outside looking in,this whole episode in so called political "reshuffling" is more mental than monty python ,some mentals would go home if they could but alas "he" isnt allowed back

..I hope and pray you guys can sort this out without anymore loss of life and with a mature attitude for the best of this country which at this moment is on a knife edge and if it does fall , the rural poor ( I mean "mostly" rural poor" will be the ones who suffer the most.

BTW who is paying for the electricity, as I look at two ww2 air searchlights scan the air,did central world give them access to power or they bring thier gennies? Just curious.

what? all reds withdraw money from Bkk bank? Unless it's a robbery they need to pay back I think.

Civil War should be able to break the deadlock. The victors shall rule the country or what's left. That is the final solution.

[BenMajor]

"The country is split between "Red Shirts", who largely support ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra, and their yellow-clad rivals who hit the streets ahead of a 2006 coup that ousted Thaksin and again to see off his allies in 2008."

Not quiet, me thinks. There is a third group called the "Grey Shirts"./ They just want the other two groups to get a life and stop ruining things.
