Oh boy, nasty questions from journalists. What next, quoting what a politician said more than a day ago?

Maybe nasty cartoons.

Nope that is humour, there was certainly no humour in the question.

Good that they asked some tough questions, but there should have been a lot tougher questions asked:

"If you're not a puppet, can you give some example of a situation where you disagreed with your brother over a significant issue?"

"The traffic has become noticeably worse since the implementation of your first-car-discount policy. Has this short-sighted, populist gambit been worth making the daily lives of millions of Thais worse, with time spent in traffic being time spent neither with family nor being productive?"

Or maybe they were asked and it wasn't reported.

She replied to my question on Monday night all on her own...

I'm not sure why this important question did not make the cut in the English Language news, but apparently it was mentioned in the Thai news the next day because one of my students came into class saying that his Dad heard on the news about a teacher from an International school who asked "If you had a furby, what colour would it be?"

This will now be my claim to fame!! Ha ha!

PS - apologies in advance if the video doesn't show up properly, this is my first time posting here...

"If I relied on him, I don't think I could come here and answer your questions [for] the second time."

Asked about the possibility of autonomy for the deep South, the premier side-stepped the question and said the government was willing to talk to all parties in search of peace.

When The Nation asked Yingluck why millions of Thais dislike or even despise Thaksin and herself, Yingluck again side-stepped the question,

So from this sample thats 2 out of 4 questions sidestepped.

My money says she was ambushed.

Those two questions were not on the approved list of questions.

Meanwhile, Yingluck said yesterday that the government would not get involved in the amnesty issue, which is under the purview of Parliament.

"The legislative process to grant amnesty is up to the [party] whips to decide," she said.

Hmm! so it sounds like the (party) whips are not part of the Government. How strange!

I guess she missed the latest SKYPE from Dubai.

Translation please.

She denied that Thaksin was involved in the deep South dialogue.

Thaksin seems to think he's involved.

That was my understanding, but of course Yingluck wouldn't lie would she?

Thaksin Shinawatra: I’m practicing performing a puppet with my feet… After the 3rd, I’ll have one more puppet theater to run.

Caption: The owner of the puppet theater is seriously rehearsing.

[This implies that the Pheu Thai Bangkok Governor candidate, Pol. Gen.

Pongsapas Pongcharoen, will be a Thaksin proxy just as his sister

Yingluck is.]

Yingluck said yesterday that the government would not get involved in the amnesty issue

blink.png

More blatant and obvious falsehoods... her government is at the heart of at least a half dozen amnesty proposals.

Has everyone forgotten that bare-faced lies are de rigeur in (Thai) Politics?

A marriage of the minds made in heaven. I'm suprised the pair of you weren't invited to the FCCT event, what with incisive political questions like "what colour is your furby?" and buchholzs reknowned media collection - please a little more imagination than the usual variations on a clone approach for all our sakes - don't any of you ever get bored with yourselves?

True. But usually they don't call their neighboring Malaysian leader a liar. I wonder how PM Razak feels about be called a liar.

It's curious why she lied about her brother not being involved. It was just so recent AND widely reported.... heck, it was even proclaimed by herself that he was.

And yet, less than 2 weeks later, she's denying he's involved.... blink.png

Is her short term memory that impaired???

unsure.png

Is she borrowing Chalerm's ear meds?

I actually believe her saying, she is no puppet. In the Skypetransmission Mr T mentioned that some people in the Pheu Thai Party, was quite happy to see him stay abroad, "as they would be less important" in case he returned. Which straight away got me to think of his dear sister! She is just loving being PM, imagine being "the biggest face" of them all in a country, where face is everyhing.wai2.gif

Even the partyelite are in no hurry to get Mr T home, after realising it is business as usual. Probably even better with the biggest thief staying abroad, so a bigger share of the cake for them.

If I am right, wouldn't it be ironic, that the little sister handpicked by Mr T himself, now is the one stopping him from returning! sad.png

.

You mean all it takes is having internet access to YouTube and that's sufficient to be invited to FCCT events?

Gosh.

Maybe even you could snag an invite in that case.

If you need help to register there, you could probably ask for help on the TV's

Internet, computers, communication, technology sub-forum.

Have you heard about my great deal on the Pacific Ocean beach front property in Udon?

Just for some balance, I'd love to see her or her brother on HARDtalk, interviewed by Stephen Sackur. Although given how BBC covered 2010, I doubt he'd ask the questions we want answers to. I think Robert Kee once responded to one of his victims. That was a very good answer, unfortunately it was not the question I asked. Now he would have been the one to asl questions.

Could call it a Samak-ism.

He, too, got too big for his britches after initially openly declaring himself Thaksin's nominee. Months in office later, he was starting to act like an independent. That led to his not receiving the Party's *Thaksin's* endorsement for PM when he was eligible to return to the position immediately after his temporary removal.

Erm another news post. Non members could attend for about 3000 Baht. However, it wasn't all night, and a Happy Ending was not guaranteed.

Well she's improving. Can lie and sidestep questions in English now. Bravo Madame, now while you're so talkative, what gives with this rice debacle?
