Yingluck Sues Thai Rath Cartoonist For Defamation

[kimamey]

To be fair I would expect in any country with a female premier, characterizing or alluding them to be a whore would land any cartoonist etc in a bit of hot water.

I suggest you read up on some of the things written about Margaret Thatcher when she was PM.

I suggest you find something a bit more recent than the thick end of 25 years ago. The world defamation, slander and libel laws have developed somewhat, not always for the better but it is what it is.

There were still insults after she died and since we haven't had another female PM we can't really insult one but all MPs of both sexes still get insulted.

So this Chai makes a fool of himself with a silly political cartoon only for the PM (and her advisors) to take the bait and do the same with an equally silly response.

Far more worthy political leaders than Yingluck, past and present, have been insulted to a far greater degree than this but have just treated it with contempt it deserved.

As a Shinawatra she should know what a dirty game politics is.
