h90 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 True reconciliation comes when Thailand gets a PM who is interested in Thailand. A real Prime Minister would fight this farce tooth and nail. They would say rule of law will not be washed away and all cases will be tried on their own merits. Nothing to do with there political affiliation who they know or how munch money they have. There will be no double standards and judges caught ruling that way will be transferred to unemployed with no income. Of course we have to get a real Prime Minister first and then hope they are honest. Not a easy thing to do. The closes we have is Abhist and he falls short. You not only need a honest person, you need a person who is ready to get things done and bulldoze down everyone who want to block things. Specially here Abhisit was too weak.......But yes he is the best Thailand has, only if we could inject a few Chuvit genes into him. Fortunately GMO isn't legal in Thailand.

MaxLee Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Where are the traffic jams now, does anyone have information??? Complete shut down of the area. Do not drive there, unless you want to joint in the party and free food. Well actually I parked my car at on nut bts, just for pre caution, but tomorrow I might want to travel to Nontaburi to help out a cousin to teach English. So that's why I need to know where the traffic jam is 'cause I might have to drive through that area to get to my destination. I do not know any short cuts on Thailand's road. That's why I'm asking.

From On-Nut to Nonthanuri, no need to get within 2 km radius of the hot spot. Take the toll way. Everything will be fine; unless the tanks roll tonight.

Army won't do a thing. They are happy to let the shit hit the fan, and let the shinawatras clean up the mess. After all whenever they do something, they always, eventually, get portrayed as the bad guys. Thai politics (for good or bad) needs this to play out without interference.

webfact Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 CONTROVERSIAL BILL Protesters seal off access to Parliament The Nation, Thai News Agency Photo : Prasert Thepsri BANGKOK: -- Lawmakers were denied access to the Parliament on Friday by anti-government protesters rallying outside Parliament to oppose the reconciliation bills expected to be considered today. The yellow shirts led by the People's Alliance for Democracy joined up with the multicoloured shirts led by Tul Sitthisomwong in sealing the Kan Ruen intersection on Rajvithee Road, the only access route to the Parliament. Some Pheu Thai MPs sneaked out of Parliament by ducking under a wire fence. Unconfirmed reports suggest that ruling party MPs are looking for an alternative venue to convene a parliamentary session after so few MPs were able to make it to the House chamber. PAD spokesman Panthep Puapongpan restated the group's opposition to the reconciliation bills. However, he said he could not confirm whether or not the yellow shirts would storm Parliament. He said it depended on the situation. Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva on Thursday met urgently with Democrat MPs and later told a news conference that his party would do everything possible to thwart adoption of the reconciliation bills. He said the proposed bill should not be called reconciliation as it will cause deep rifts both inside and outside the Parliament. The content of the measures are also damaging to the legal principles of the state, annulling court verdicts in political cases, which will "whitewash" individuals who committed offences during the political turmoil, and removing the party dissolution law, Abhisit said. He earlier pointed out that the bills would also help fugitive former premier Thaksin Shinawatra move beyond his corruption cases without ever taking responsibility for them. Abhisit said the Democrat party would fight against the illegitimate move to enact the bills and would do its utmost to oppose the bills. He said his party would like to call people who love justice to express their views under the law, to show that the people and society did not want the proposed bill. The Democrat party will support all moves against the bills, he said, provided that the actions are within the legal framework and in accordance with the Constitution. The urgent party meeting followed the House of Representatives vote by 272 to 2 yesterday to move up four reconciliation bills for consideration today amid protests by the Democrat Party MPs. The vote followed a meeting of 35 standing committee chairpersons to decide whether the four bills were financially related. After four hours of discussion, the committee chairpersons voted 22 to 1 that the bills were not financially related draft laws and that the House could proceed with deliberating the four reconciliation bills without endorsement from the prime minister. -- The Nation 2012-06-01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all they are here for. http://thailandjumpe...ster-kasit.html Stranding hundreds of thousands of foreigners and Thais was excellent. Causing billions of baht of damage to the Thai economy was excellent. Illegally trying to overthrow the government and getting the foreign ministry in return was excellent.
