Popular Post lemoncake Posted December 1, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2013 This is nothing but a scare tactics from the useless government. Protesters have not attacked any civilians and do not seem to have any intentions on doing so, why would public need to stay indoors? In another source, Deputy PM also claimed government is in full control, well Sherlock it sure does not look like it PS. What happened to Yingluck, any reason why current PM is not the one doing the warnings or statements? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, just maybe the government want to avoid more violencee.. i m not sherlock but it seems the best thing to do to limit fightings from both sides.. but sure it s better to think it another tactic and tonight the private army of the government or suthep will take drastic moves...

What happened to Yingluck, any reason why current PM is not the one doing the warnings or statements? Your guess is as good as mine. Yingluck is well known for neglecting her duties but hasn't she been trying to tell the world that she is "in control" and "elected" and so on. As Prime Minister she should be on TV assuring that she has control, but...... nothing! There are many rumours and I won't believe any until I hear the truth, but the latest I heard was that she and many of her party members are leaving from Suvarnaphumi tonight. (from a friend who works there). All I am certain of is the absolute quietness of the so called PM who has full control of the government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldmonky Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I am just a normal person that does`t know a great deal about politics.I read the news and try to be open minded ,but the way I see the current situation is that the present government has with the help of the red army of puppets aided by brother T.S.have organised this chaos .My heart goes out to thailand and the anti gov.protesters.I prey to god that they find a sollution soon and bring peace to Thailand whith a true democratic government.

DocN Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Excellent how this was published on all TV channels and also in English, so tourists and expats would get that warning too and stay safe....what?...oh , right...it wasn't! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. She is the PM. A PM should be there giving advice or reassurance to the people. I feel that, at the moment, this country is a state of complete anarchy.

I am only speculating so do not kill me, but i can think of 3 reasons 1. She is out of sight so whatever to come can not be pinned on her 2. She is out of sight, because she knows more than we do and its all about the fall apart and again nothing can be pinned on her 3. Its simply too much for her to handle, so brother removed her, leaving others who could also be sacrificed, should anything go wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dharmabm Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 i try not to take sides, but when i get back on a late drive from pattaya to BKK and try to order dinner only to find that food-by-phone tells me they cannot deliver because the protesters occupied their building, i am just pissed!

Then maybe read more as this is done to overthrow an elected government and to replace it by an appointed council using methods which are clearly not in the respect of the law. You may not like this government but you should respect the election results. You should also read who is suthep before thinking he is doing this to help the country 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
