Hail red democracy

they should be ashamed of what they are doing to Thailand and i personally hope that the words of the Gospel of Matthew are true

live by the sword die by the sword.............

Well done Red mupeteers!!!

For creating another Northern Ireland scenareo - Dividing the country with your big sword...

When will they learn?

Probably never as the arrogance of patriotism and face is what hinders education most...

The term district is rather vague. Do they mean Tambon or Amphur or just a Mubaan?

Hail red democracy

Have these people got homes to go to and work to do ???? stupid lot of sods. What is the point of it all.... they elected who they wanted, havent got what they wanted --but are ruling in government, Are they afraid ??? and of what ??? It is to me a gang organisation like the red shirt BKK job. they thrive on intimidation..... but they have to remember not to push the army too much as they will lose again---go home and relax, or use your cowardly power to bring down the government you elected.

I'm sure the voice of democracy is strong in that village.

Wheres my yellow shirt i am off to Udon

National flooding emergency for well over 1/2 the country, and all Jatuporn can do is 'Spread The Red'. Not spread aid, or instigate flood control measures, no he just wants to spread 'Red Influence' into the very homes of poor Thais, to control their though and voting patterns all the better.

So this is part of the reconciliation process, of course the present Govt won’t criticise it. It’s turning into a banana republic run by monkeys.

Everyone is being mobilised to fight the flood situation. Except of course this scumbag and his bunch of Red idiots. People are getting laughed at for getting on their boats and trying to scoop the water back to the sea. Whether it's effective or not, at least they're doing something. These Red idiots are a waste of air.

These are all irrelevant. They are poppets and Mr. T ispulling the string, with or without the Village/District

It's karma for them voting for a red shirt leader. Now they suffer Buddha's wrath in floods

Give this new Redshirt district a few months and they'll be complaining the govt is not treating them fairly, not providing the same support as to other districts, etc. Wonder what warlord will rule this district?

So much hatred for the redshirts and the way thai's are trying to live thier lives in thier country. What have the thais done to you people personally to breed such hatred? If you have such destest and hatred of the country and the people why are you here?

Why do you talk about hatred? Being critical is the same as being hateful for you?

No hatred of red-shirts, just a very serious dislike of those self-important Pheu Thai UDD MPs. Please also keep in mind that 'red-shirts' and 'Thais' are NOT the same.

As to the 'why are you here', well I doubt all posters are, there's no need to be to be able to post you know. Who knows (and who really cares) where you are at this moment. Totally irrelevant, my dear chap

Probably cos they love this country and find it quite disheartening the direction things are going.

You fail to consider that it is perhaps people's love of this country and it's people, including our spouses and children, that cause them to speak out when they see the way a despot is trying to break assunder and cause violence and division to that country they call home.

How right you are!

First we have the all Red Villages,and now Red Districts,Thaksin sure is Consolidating his Army.

Why is it I have this Gut feeling we may be witnessing the Birth of a Civil War?

Pray God i'm wrong!

Next thing no doubt will be internal passports, perhaps it may be viable to complete visa runs etc in these seemingly independent regions known as Red Shirt districts.

Sadly, it seems as if one is trying to explain and show the folly of the policies and indeed the actions and ultimate aims of Thaksin, Jutuporn and the Red Shirts one would have more success explaining how an orchid looks to a blind snake.

No next step would be some group to protect the democracy. We could call it Siam Safety or short SS for example.

Who recognised the new district?

What is the legal value (if any) of this new district?

What is the purpose of the 'red-shirt district'?

There many more questions, but a few answers first may help cut down on them

This is a democracy and we are guests here. They vote and we can like it or not. But the bottom line is: Leave if you you will!

I wish most of you would!

This news report-- and I use the term generously-- fails to answer the obvious question in any reader's mind: what is a "red shirt district?" Moreover, what does "official" recognition mean, and what are "the legal procedures?" Illiterate, mindless journalism.

I've heard that weapons of mass destruction involving botulism and festival rocketry are being developed in these red enclaves as we speak. Time to get the UN involved, no doubt....

Redshirts = democracy? I feel ashamed to come from Sweden when I read your comment!

I've been talking to my Thai gf about this and asking what this means and what are the legal procedures. She say it means most of the people are red shirts which we already know. Apart from that she doesn't know and she is educated. She says she hasn't seen anything in the Thai news about this.

Does anyone know if this is reported in Thai anywhere?

Apparently all the news on Thai television is about the flooding. Is this being done now so nobody notices?
