PM having said "no further dialogue" necessary now has the MoFA confirming why when everybody and his buffalo was flooded a shiny new passport had to be rushed out to k. Thaksin.

Popular Post longtom Posted April 17, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2012 Do we really need an article (and a new thread) about every cabinet member spouting their personal opinion of the day about the return of their paymaster? Not enough 'news' and propagand about Thaksin every day? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 There you go, in three to four months hes back and thats what most people want. Actually, not. Polls show ... not. Because people don't want civil war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEL1 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 "Surapong, who is an MP from the ruling Pheu Thai Party" ----- Jeez, silly me again. I thought we were told earlier today by PTP that it's the 'goverment' that rules. -mel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OzMick Posted April 17, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2012 Surapong is the Shinawatra family version of a village idiot. His current position is a direct result of nepotism rather than any ability, and his actions as FA Minister are those, and only those, directed by a fugitive criminal who raised him to said position. Any comments made by a sycophant servant should be taken with the aforementioned in mind. I would put my position more bluntly, but forum rules forbid. He should change his name to Renfield. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MEL1 Posted April 17, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2012 Time in 3 months for everybody to wear red. That'll confuse everybody from PTP as who to attack and not to attack on the streets. And it will hide the final gun shot wound as camouflage. -mel. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For similar reasons, French officers wore brown pants. Thaksin masks should make life difficult for snipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because people don't want civil war. The polls show most people want him to come back and appeal his case in court. Of course by then the law may have been changed retrospectively anyway.

nong38 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 On another headline mr T says this is not the time to come back. Reconcilliation will not happen if he comes back before its under way and that will take time. He is still in the eyes of the law a fugitive I believe, or do some people think reconcilliation and amnesty or pardon are the same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see you back, we've all been waiting for this moment. Go get um Big T. Thaksin is an anti-democrat. All of his actions proved that. The evidence and reasons have been posted elsewhere on this board and I really haven't got the energy to repeat all of that now. Democracy is simply a word that his PR people hijacked in order to undermine the Democrats and build a quassi-fascist movement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangkokrick Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Changing the laws to give amnesty to a fugitive. I can't see the Yellow's or the Military wearing that one. I honestly think that the average Thai does not care about Thaksin any more, it's just the fanatics in the red shirt movement that do. Is that enough to swing it?
