Nickymaster Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) Well the Dems are busy pressuring the court to dissolve PT, so did anyone not expect a response? In what way? I have not seen any evidence of the Dems camped outside the court or homes of the judges nor have they given out addresses. They have repeatedly said that they want to give the constitution court the support to make the right decision. The reds have said that they are interested in the courts decision. Both meanings are the same and that is obvious to everyone: we want a decision favouring us and after Wassant's interview both sides know that decisions based on politics, and street demos and not law happen. In fact it is no surprise that both sides take to the streets after what Wassant said. To understand the subtexts and how these things work PAD Sondhi statements before he was shot in the head are revealing along with lots of wikileaks too). The context is important and does anyone think the players are neutral (check polls on what the Thai people think of some of the courts, or just listen to Wassant on the perception of the court he used to head. "The reds have said that they are interested in the courts decision." The Reds have said a lot of things or rather their leaders have. There are many memorable quotes from the Red's leaders and many that are recorded on youtube. The Reds like this, like that, agree with this don't agree with that..... Their leaders always act as if the Reds are 10 years old. The leaders decide... Edited November 18, 2013 by Nickymaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mampara Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) I wonder who's paying for this...... Thats the big question on almost everyones minds. who is the man behind "RentaMob" not the man outside the country, but the man inside the country. if we could give a name then we will know who is the instigator is of all the political strife we are having, because he knows that clashes between the two mobs are invertible. which leaves one thought, is this the final throes of a dying effort?

Businessman Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 We all know exactly how much the current government/reds respects courts and rule of law. If the ruling is in their favor then the ruling is just. If the ruling is not in their favor, then it is wrong and thus null and void. Examples ICJ Preah Vihear temple, Taxin's criminal conviction. Why do the reds need to come? The only possible outcome is the one they want. What the the court says is moot. I think they are are just looking for a reason to riot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the people at red rallies in BKK either come from Bangkok or from surrounding industrial provinces. Sure a few bus loads of farmers are brought in, just as Suthep buses in a bunches of southerner farmers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeO Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 bigbamboo, on 18 Nov 2013 - 11:49, said: I wonder who's paying for this...... As I posted elsewhere, it's very simple really. Answer the following two question to get the answer. Who will the red rallies benefit the most? Who has their hands on (in) the public purse? Answer to both questions, the PT Govt. So where will the funding for the 500b PP and the rest of the expenses like busses, food, sound systems, and all the rest come from? You got it, the long suffering tax payer. Funny, isn't it, how the PTP argued that it was illegal and/or impeachable for the Democrats to provide Portaloo toilets for anti-government demonstrators, but it's a different story, yet again, when red shirt demonstrators are involved. You can bet that there will be no call for a certain person overseas and his sister here not to provide the means for these people to invade Bangkok again...!! The usual hypocrisy and double standards from this shambolic mob loosely referred to as a government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post millwall_fan Posted November 18, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2013 Good! There will be more Reds to witness "real democracy according to the Constitution" when the government is dissolved on Wednesday. The 2007 is completely undemocratic. It was 'voted on' under military rule, it was illegal to campaign against it and the underground 'no' campaign had no access to air time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder who's paying for this...... width=19 alt=whistling.gif> At a guess I would say that the money is coming from the man in Dubai. One would think that the morons would wonder in a city the size of Bangkok they have to go to Issan to get 30,000 people to look at a building. Also is Yingluck going to investigate the backer and charge him with money laundering? Anuwat said that the red-shirts wanted to just observe the ruling, without any intention to put pressure on the Court which should have liberty in its deliberation. I bet they already have huge signs with the phone numbers and addresses of the judges. I don't think the court will pass it. Now if it was Abhist or Suthep throwing a candy wrapper on the ground they would have them investigated and charged with littering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
