Bangkok: Huge Turnout Expected At Red-Shirt Rally Today

Good for them

Get them off their farms and out of their red villages.

Also, the 500 - 1000 baht they are surely being paid

to attend will help them put food on the table tomorrow.

Not sure how the will pay to feed themselves the day

after though.

Memorial is good, just too bad they still do not realize

their leaders led them in a slaughter, IMO

You are claiming they are being paid. Do you have any evidence to support this claim?

I believe you still don't get it. There is a core demographic that supports the UDD, the same way there is a core group that supports Newin or Abhisit.

My dear, the consensus might be that you are indeed excellent however ... one cannot help thinking it might just be a tad possible you don't see the reality. Who would afford to come from, say, Surat, on their own money? There's a reason they are in Surat ...

Reality is that the UDD has a large following among Thai nationals.

Reality is that the UDD has a minuscule following among TVF nationals.

We can also be going down the grammar-police route as well since undoubtedly some will claim that a free bus-ride to BKK is the equivalent of being paid to attend.

And nothing will stop posters from making the claim without a stitch of proof - so please carry on. It is just the standard MO

Reality was that Hitler also had a huge following..... didn't mean the Nazis were right in what they were doing.

A picture is worth a thousand words we are told. This particular image left me speechless,.

Do we now see the true face of the Red Shirt movement appearing led by a despotic character who resides outside of the Kingdom.

The symbol has been apart of the Thai Buddism for 2000 years. i assume thats what your refereing to.

A little lesson in history:

Official flag of the 3rd Reich. You notice any similarities?
