PAD Continues Rally Against Reconciliation Bills

[h90]

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.

In addition to the measures taken on Wednesday

What measures were taken on Wednesday?

[gand]

On Bangkok's U-Thong Road, a large lorry blared out the royalist song, "The Highest Dream", and sported a large banner saying: "Part Three of Square-Face [Thaksin]: the Beginning of Civil War".

Sounds serious?

so the military support the red shirts now? how did that happen?

[MaxLee]

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.

Don't panic. No tanks yet. And Army TVs are still showing the usual rubbish.

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.

If there are trucks driving around with this printed on the side, it seems to be bloody serious. Please don't let them blockade the somtaam sellers from setting up down at the protest site either, then there will be hell to pay.

"I'm worried about the Army. We must watch their movements closely, because in Thailand anything can happen. The yellow shirts will gradually raise the [political] temperature and might resort to violence,"

Wouldn't that be the red shirts? Violence seems to be a red shirt tactic of first resort.

At about 11am yesterday, a red-shirt news agency reported that red-shirt supporters from Chiang Mai were heading to Bangkok to "protect" the Parliament from their rivals, the yellow shirts.

They should come down and join the yellow shirt side to get justice for their dead not amnesty for TS. That would be like 'Brave Heart' where the Irish switch sides and joins the Scots.

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.

You know that idea is not beyond the realm of possibility. A few clever yellow shirts on stage when the reds are in earshot could do the very trick. Wouldn't that be a sweet twist of fate for Yingluck and Jatuporn to look out the window and see a mass of red and yellow shirts all saying NO! What a wonderful day dream.

CONTROVERSIAL BILL

Protesters seal off access to Parliament

The Nation, Thai News Agency

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.

House meeting to convene at 1:30 pm despite blockade

The Nation

BANGKOK: -- House Speaker Somsak Kiartsuranon scheduled a House meeting at 1:30 pm although protesters were still laying siege to Parliament.

House Secretary-General Pitoon Pumhiran said the meeting was postponed from the original schedule at 9:30 am.

Pitoon said he was not certain that MPs would be able to enter the Parliament's compound or not. He said the Parliament has sought help from police to step up security.

so what precisely are they complaining about that's contained in these bills?

Don't know. In a similar (the airport seizue) protest,

"The food was excellent, the music was excellent," Kasit (yes, the ex FM) explained.

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.

Kasit is an ido*t, but that doesn't make the previous illegal government any better.

What previous illegal government are you referring to here?

So we have the out on bail for a 20 year fraud sentence Sonthi's Edit SONDHI'S PAD join up with nutter Dr. Tul of the multicoloureds blockading parliament and now Abhisit calls upon "people who love justice" to join the previous two nutters (within the law of course). Who's he going to call next? Ghostbusters?
