"About 20,000 government supporters gathered at Bung Planchai, where Yingluck presided at the opening of a traditional handicrafts fair. Some 100 anti-government protesters also turned up to blow whistles in a symbolic gesture of opposition under a heavy security guard of 1,200 officials."

What!!!!??

So there we have it. 100 anti-government protesters under a heavy security guard of 1,200 officials to blow their whistles!

How brave. How decisive.

How incontrovertible. We don't wanna any democracy anymores. Toot tooot.

Should 100 red shirts turn up within Suthep's demonstration they would be torn limb from limb.

Should 20,000 government supporters descend on the Democracy monument Suthep would be running for his life.
