Featured Replies

" Yingluck dithers... ", now there's a headline to behold.

Headline could also be "Yingluck always dithers" or "Yingluck does nothing but dither"

Useless

The emergency decree can only work if the army permit the police to remove the remaining protesters. They wont

They can't.

There is no socially acceptable way to force a couple of hundred thousand members of the public off the streets if they don't want to go. This 'state of emergency' is just wanking.

What the hell is "Dithering"?........

Couldn't you be a little discrete?? 24 posters before you have pretended, they knew!!coffee1.gif

Reminds me of the Cod War when the Icelanders sent the tanks in.

They must have been fish tanks!

Have you been abroad or has your internet been down for a month??

"a couple of hundred thousand members in the streets"cheesy.gif

On a good day, including press and family-members Suthep can reach double digits!!coffee1.gif

verb
gerund or present participle: dithering
1.
be indecisive.
"he was dithering about the election date"

Dithering ?? They should look at the Democrat Party if they want to see some serious dithering.

Will it be as much fun to watch as 'Thai Soft and Hard'?

A naval coup. Would that be a first?

The Russian battleship Potemkin is an interesting precedent for the Russian revolution so who knows maybe we are going to see HTMS Chakri sailing along the Chaophraya. If only G & S were alive today I am sure they would produce a wonderful operetta from all of this.

The last time Thailand tried that, I believe the French sunk the Thai fleet.

Have to admit I'm really gonna miss this government when they finally get the boot. From Chalerm's "Goo gap ma laeow" and his 60 days to (not) fix every problem, to jailbird Prompong's asinine announcements, to Nopphadol's ridiculous denials that serve to confirm every disgraceful rumor, to a imbecile PM that only shops,mirror gazes and has perjury laws scubbed from the law books, the rice scheme which has been a train wreck from the start. It has been a fantastic show, unrivaled by any satire or parody. Every morning we have been treated to muppetry of the highest order and it has really been laugh a minute. Thanks guys, but please, no encore.

Talk about a 'damned if you do' article and 'dammed if you don't:......Watch the moment action is taken to incarcerating some leaders and otherwise cracking skulls, there would be a bluddy uproar.....Being condemned for not acting and also when acting, is such idiocy.

Talking about incarceration...With all this coup-monger initiated political stuff both 2006 and now, never has anyone from that side been incarcerated...Compare that to the forces supporting electoral Democracy.....I wonder if that is possible in the current circumstances...Suthep and his co-leaders obviously feel immune to that possibility, considering their audaciousness....Sure makes one wonder about what is behind them....

A deeply deluded article. Contrast this nonsense with the thread on how the internetional media sees the situation.

But allowing for how the international media has / is reporting things well off the realities of the whole current and the longer-term attached history.

Thailand cannot manage basic road rules...

So dont expect it to manage anything more complicated wai2.gif

Are you braindead?

It has certainly reached 200,000+ at several points. If the government starts cracking down on the protest, what do you think will happen, genius? Those people will be back in the streets. Most of them have *jobs* and can't sit around on their <deleted> indefinitely.

Navy coup, never, they wont even be able to get the aircraft carrier

started,its been sitting idle for years !

regards Worgeordie

Seems the Thaksin's damage control lacks drive, co-ordination, cohesion and a workable plan, no wonder the "Darling of Issan", Poo, is dithering.

attachicon.gifstressed Yingluck.jpg I wasn't there, no one saw me

The look on her face says it all- worth a thousand words. You deserve it!

"dithering" ... waiting for the Big Boss to Skype new instructions & advice, from his bunker on the gulf-course, in Dubai ? facepalm.gif

Guess I'll wear a raincoat to avoid getting spooged on then.

this seems like a non military coup

The Democrats dithered so much they forgot to join the election.

Nope, they quickly decided not to join in with the pointless pantomime.

The military leaders are doing exactly what they should. Keep the tanks inside the compounds and the troops out of uniform in public.

If the PTP and UDD had not been on such a vendetta after the 2010 antics they would have had a better chance of getting military assistance. HOWEVER,once the decided to charge military personnel with murder and take the military to court they lost all credibility. It owuldbe like one of us charging a person with assault for getting in a fight then when someone goes to poke us asking them to defend us.

Most people i know would stand back and smile and remind me about the court case I started.

The military is geared to the King and to the people. The police do not have the manpower or the desire to try to breakup any protests. Would you risk your life for the money that they are paid?

This is not going to end soon and it is not going to end happily.

PT have created too many moving parts that are all based on dreams and wild promises.

But there isnt a few 100 thousand protestors on the streets.. Theres a few 1000 now of which how many are 'hardcore' supporters who would actually stand out there with water canons or tear gas being thrown ?? A few 100 tops.

Theres probably more hardcore supporters at any millwall v west ham game. The fact they cannot seem to control this speaks volumes for how much actual authority they have here.,

Many of them popped along after work as part of an urban fashion statement.,. Its what all the cool kids want to show these days.. Blow a whistle, take a selfie with a thai flag color ribbon on.. Etc etc.
