Democrat leader: Attack on party HQ an intimidation
By Digital Content



BANGKOK, Jan 13 – Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva said today that today's early morning shooting into the coffee shop at the party headquarters was a political intimidation.

He called on the government to urgently end the current political conflicts, saying the Election Commission (EC) has proposed delaying the general election but caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra claimed in her statement to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon that the government was not authorised to do that.

“If the election is postponed, (the government) should agree with society on which direction the country will move on. It’s not a matter of solving the problem merely to enable the government to stay on in power. It’s the government’s duty to find a resolution for the nation,” said Mr Abhisit.

After inspecting the damage at his party quarters, Mr Abhisit and some party executives took the BTS Skytrain from Aree station for Pathumwan – one of the six rally sites for the Bangkok shutdown -- to meet the anti-government protesters.

What a farce Abhisit is. I wouldn't be surprised if it's own thugs linked to Comrade Suthep are doing it.

“If the election is postponed, (the government) should agree with society on which direction the country will move on. It’s not a matter of solving the problem merely to enable the government to stay on in power. It’s the government’s duty to find a resolution for the nation,” said Mr Abhisit.

Suthep has made it clear already even if the election is postponed they will not stop.

After inspecting the damage at his party quarters, Mr Abhisit and some party executives took the BTS Skytrain from Aree station for Pathumwan – one of the six rally sites for the Bangkok shutdown -- to meet the anti-government protesters.

Yes, this is the real Abhisit and the Democrat Party backing and mingling with the protesters.

I say it once again The Democrats is the political wing of the PDRC.

Looking at the numbers today of the rallies, I doubt their were more then 250,000-300,000 protesters which means they are in the minority.

[crazykopite]

This former pm is a total joke he is hiding behind the madman Suthep because he has not got the bottle or nerve to do it himself he wants to look like the goody goody in my eyes he and Suthep are no better than Taksin they are all as corrupt and line there pockets with corrupt money on top of this they include the word democratic into there political name that are no more democratic than North Korea they want the wealthy to get richer and the poor to get poorer that is what their party is all about and the fools who follow them will one day wake up and realise this On a final note where we're the millions who were meant to turn up today in suthep a dreams maybe but not on the streets of Bangkok go home you silly little man but there again even the people of Phuket do not want him back.

I was at Asoke for around 2 hours today. Permanent squatters - sitting under the awnings - were no more than 2,000. I stood there and did a mental calculation of the rows and the depth under the two awnings. Then there were the walkers - those Bangkokians coming to take a look-see armed with flags and whistles and taking selfies of themselves. So at any one time, I reckon there were no more than 8,000 to 10,000 at any one time. And like me, many of the crowd were just curious and came out for the fun of it. I think, to be fair, there were a lot more at the MBK site.

And further evidence of either funding is drying up or enthusiasm is drying up - there was a walk-by down Petchburi Road today. No more than 500 people. A fraction of what they had back in November and December

These figures being thrown around by their PR department are ludicrous IMHO.

The protests have already been a success. For one, they are peaceful ( unlike the nightly vigilante attacks on them ). For another, they have put the administration into a stalemate. They are already in a position where they will be unable to open parliament next month. For some odd reason, many supporters of the administration consider that a great victory. But it won't once it becomes apparent that an unopened parliament means a powerless administration.

No more than 2000

No more than 8000

If you are interested in the amount of people today, Blue Sky has some images (if you dare )

I believe when the weekend approaches, and when on Wednesday the rice farmers still won't get paid, the situation will intensify. Even though the protestors have done a good job today getting settled strategically.

But.... a few hundred thousand is enough to force Yingluck out so maybe not to many protestors is better for day to day life.

Extremely sad figure.

He got a large part of his education in a democratic country, but he doesn't understand anything about democracy.

He belongs to a minority of 'richer' people. He did not succeed in conving a majority of his beliefs.

Blaming about corruption is ridiculous, because corruption is unfortunately everywhere in Thai society. It makes no distinction between parties.

Let the democratic process move forward, have elections and then work together for ONE Thailand!

The PTP are aware of a gullible uneducated narrow voter base being manipulated. Wikileaks released documents showing that America approved of the coup in 2006. They knew it was a return to democracy. It reiterates that it is post ballot box actions that molds a govt’s sincerity to democracy. All that elections do is give them a chance to show it. Of course PTP supporters will only ever say, but but but but “we won the election” because they cannot state any other democratic principles that the PT adhere to. Their form of democracy means threatening army chiefs daughters with kidnapping and death. Their form of democracy means threatening judges with kidnapping. Their form of democracy means the World bank, Moody's, UNHCR, Human Rights Watch, the DEMS, the Environmentalists, the corn farmer, academics, global economists, IMF was all wrong.Why? Because they have opposing view points. Their form of democracy is being backup up by the UDD which is more a paramilitary unit that a lover of democracy. They state principle #3 is non violence, but Jatuporn tells his supporters to use children as human shields and to paint the sky red. Red with blood. So much for the principles! Carry the b#llshit and let the UDD square root it and you have the PTP's form of democracy. Of the 8 principles of democracy they adhere to 1. They will defend 1. They will let their gullible followers die for 1. The other 7? Silence. They won the election. So when you say democratic process. What you really mean is one characteristic of it. ELECTIONS. Unless of course forcing MP's to vote for an amnesty against the voice of their electorate. Unless of course telling the population that they are garbage if they disagree with you and want public water management hearings. Unless of course changing a senate to ensure it is filled with TS puppets because TS is fully aware of the weakness in Thai democracy and wants to fully abuse it. To think that western educated people can still say "let the democratic process move forward" I say "Let the democratic process begin"

Had the us approved of the military coup they would not have then demanded and GOT within 1 year (their demands quoted in the leaked wikileaks embassy papers) an election in december 2007.

Furthermore the wikileaks exposed the junta as lying to the thai people about tge necessity to change the constitution for elections to take place.

They had conceded to the americans already and yet they had to threaten the electorate that if the 2007 constitution was not approved there was no saying when a new one would be created and when elections would be held.

You obviously never read the wikileaks.

Furthermore it is very clear that the PCAD, through their network of students who planned to storm the US embassy, believe the US was taking sides by appearing to support elections which you don't approve of.

But really your protests and those of the pcad do not merit these demonstrations.

Nothing much more than a storm in a tea cup really.

Amnsty bill thrown out by senate. Thaksin can wait 4 years for the statute of limitations and come home.

Bill passed for a wholly elected senate. how criminal in a democracy is that?

Laziness on the part of a few mps signing in other mps in an uncontested vote. ( the pathetic opposition walked out on a vote).

If the PCAD get their way there is nothing stopping a mob from returning later to repeat and repeat to upend an elected government in the future.

I sincerely hope the thais recognise this.

What i hear on the ground that people are getting increasingly fed up with suthep and its my hope that they kick their buts back down to nakorn si thammerat or wherever they were brought from

[djjamie]

Parrot - It is PDRC by the way. Unless your reference is actually to the PCAD?? (Pennsylvania College of Art and Design)

BTW - Reading your comments highlights you have understood nothing of my comments.

":If the PCAD get their way there is nothing stopping a mob from returning later to repeat and repeat to upend an elected government in the future."

So if the Pennsylvania College of Art and Design get their way (PDRC maybe?) which is allowing every other principle of democracy to flourish as well as one other principle which is elections then a mob will upend them? Well I must agree. Only if Jatuporn is leading the charge and he is not the winner of that election.

What a farce Abhisit is. I wouldn't be surprised if it's own thugs linked to Comrade Suthep are doing it.

“If the election is postponed, (the government) should agree with society on which direction the country will move on. It’s not a matter of solving the problem merely to enable the government to stay on in power. It’s the government’s duty to find a resolution for the nation,” said Mr Abhisit.

Suthep has made it clear already even if the election is postponed they will not stop.

After inspecting the damage at his party quarters, Mr Abhisit and some party executives took the BTS Skytrain from Aree station for Pathumwan – one of the six rally sites for the Bangkok shutdown -- to meet the anti-government protesters.

Yes, this is the real Abhisit and the Democrat Party backing and mingling with the protesters.

I say it once again The Democrats is the political wing of the PDRC.

Looking at the numbers today of the rallies, I doubt their were more then 250,000-300,000 protesters which means they are in the minority.

Abhisit the coward who's hiding behind Suthep's back...

As opposed to hiding in the desert under Mustafa's camel!

[johnathan]

abhisit has been educated at oxford university but shows little intelligence. every time he makes a statement its total rubbish.

just think what thailand would be like now of he was leading the country.

And why in the hell shouldn't the Democrats be affiliated with the PDRC when the PT party is made up in part of UDD terrorists and they have their red militia !?

The number of protestors on the streets is never an accurate measure of sentiment throughout the country, there are a large number of people who do not attend the protests as they are working or too old or taking care of the kids or whatever reason they have, but there are certainly a hell of a lot of people who support what they are fighting for...

What a farce Abhisit is. I wouldn't be surprised if it's own thugs linked to Comrade Suthep are doing it.

If the election is postponed, (the government) should agree with society on which direction the country will move on. Its not a matter of solving the problem merely to enable the government to stay on in power. Its the governments duty to find a resolution for the nation, said Mr Abhisit.

Suthep has made it clear already even if the election is postponed they will not stop.

After inspecting the damage at his party quarters, Mr Abhisit and some party executives took the BTS Skytrain from Aree station for Pathumwan one of the six rally sites for the Bangkok shutdown -- to meet the anti-government protesters.

Yes, this is the real Abhisit and the Democrat Party backing and mingling with the protesters.

I say it once again The Democrats is the political wing of the PDRC.

Looking at the numbers today of the rallies, I doubt their were more then 250,000-300,000 protesters which means they are in the minority.

"I say it once again The Democrats is the political wing of the PDRC"

If that is the case then that makes the PTP the Political wing of the Shinawatras clan!

abhisit has been educated at oxford university but shows little intelligence. every time he makes a statement its total rubbish.

just think what thailand would be like now of he was leading the country.

Read what you have wrote? And you criticise another's intelligence?

Abhisit the coward who's hiding behind Suthep's back...

Well he is still in Thailand.

And so isnt the Prime Minister.

[diehard60]

The protests have already been a success. For one, they are peaceful ( unlike the nightly vigilante attacks on them ). For another, they have put the administration into a stalemate. They are already in a position where they will be unable to open parliament next month. For some odd reason, many supporters of the administration consider that a great victory. But it won't once it becomes apparent that an unopened parliament means a powerless administration.

And how many billions of baht has this idiot suthpe cost thailand now? And dont for get the bloodshed 3 years ago.

Seriously johnathan - in order to be taken seriously around here you must ensure the following before posting:

1. If you are going to criticise someone's intelligence (especially those with a higher degree of education than yourself apparently), try to use punctuation, even a comma once and awhile, and spell check. Failing that send your draft over to a friend qualified to edit before posting.

2. If you are going to make reference to someone's quality of statements, provide an example.

Say repeat 3 times (aloud) preferably on television.

Extremely sad figure.

He got a large part of his education in a democratic country, but he doesn't understand anything about democracy.

He belongs to a minority of 'richer' people. He did not succeed in conving a majority of his beliefs.

Blaming about corruption is ridiculous, because corruption is unfortunately everywhere in Thai society. It makes no distinction between parties.

Let the democratic process move forward, have elections and then work together for ONE Thailand!

The PTP are aware of a gullible uneducated narrow voter base being manipulated. Wikileaks released documents showing that America approved of the coup in 2006. They knew it was a return to democracy. It reiterates that it is post ballot box actions that molds a govts sincerity to democracy. All that elections do is give them a chance to show it. Of course PTP supporters will only ever say, but but but but we won the election because they cannot state any other democratic principles that the PT adhere to. Their form of democracy means threatening army chiefs daughters with kidnapping and death. Their form of democracy means threatening judges with kidnapping. Their form of democracy means the World bank, Moody's, UNHCR, Human Rights Watch, the DEMS, the Environmentalists, the corn farmer, academics, global economists, IMF was all wrong.Why? Because they have opposing view points. Their form of democracy is being backup up by the UDD which is more a paramilitary unit that a lover of democracy. They state principle #3 is non violence, but Jatuporn tells his supporters to use children as human shields and to paint the sky red. Red with blood. So much for the principles! Carry the b#llshit and let the UDD square root it and you have the PTP's form of democracy. Of the 8 principles of democracy they adhere to 1. They will defend 1. They will let their gullible followers die for 1. The other 7? Silence. They won the election. So when you say democratic process. What you really mean is one characteristic of it. ELECTIONS. Unless of course forcing MP's to vote for an amnesty against the voice of their electorate. Unless of course telling the population that they are garbage if they disagree with you and want public water management hearings. Unless of course changing a senate to ensure it is filled with TS puppets because TS is fully aware of the weakness in Thai democracy and wants to fully abuse it. To think that western educated people can still say "let the democratic process move forward" I say "Let the democratic process begin"

Please attached those US documents please. Urban legends!!!

You sound surprised. Oxford and Cambridge has probably produced more kings and despots than prime ministers and presidents.

Re: So predictable. No rebuttal on what I said heay? They say supporters mirror the party they support. If you can't win the argument then ignore it and say something else about the opposition. It is what you didn't say regarding my comments on the UDD / PTP that speak volumes. Not what you did say.

"They say supporters mirror the party they support". This is exactly what you are doing.

"If you can't win the argument then ignore it and say something else about the opposition." Did you say anything to defend the party you obviously support? You only attacked the opposition.

If you want to attack someone for mistakes on spelling or grammar, then look at yours highlighted in red. If you need assistance on why they are incorrect I will gladly advise you.
