This Catch Me If You Can prime minister and her cabinet are now engaged in a comic stealth campaign of dodge and avoid. This incident, and the image of Kittirat being pelted with water bottles two days ago, are reminiscent of the experiences of Marie Antoinette - as an administration so out of touch with the people, that they have to erect nail traps to keep the peasantry away. These images are of an administration on its way out. +1. Excellent posts of late on many other threads from Scamper!

Popular Post mimithewoof Posted February 19, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2014 Having become totally used to large-scale corruption at high levels in my own country. the UK, (not to mention good old Wall Street and its amazing ability to <deleted> up the entire world's economy without a moment's concern...), I'm not at all surprised to see a similar class-based structure in Thailand. Nor am I surprised to see it erupting into chaos, although my heart bleeds for the millions of ordinary citizens just as it did in my home country and still does. What does amaze me is you lot - banging on endlessly with your partisan nonsense and insults to members of this or that group - where were you all when the mire hit the cooling machine in your own countries? Did you, if you weren't here at the time, stand up and fight against home-grown corruption? I don't remember any major protests when several of the UK's banks came off the tracks and lost people their savings, nor do I remember the government or any Brits getting off their backsides to protest when the Icelandic banking crisis has the same effect. As regards America's financial fiasco and its consequences, words fail me! Whatever happened to the 'land of opportunity' which had the common sense to throw the Brits out early on? Right or wrong, and I abhor all forms of violence, those outside the privileged elite class in this country have finally realised something is very, very wrong, and aren't buying into Suthep's megalomania either as they're fully aware where that would lead for the vast majority of the population, whatever colour their shirts. If ever there was a reason for a mega-uprising, 2008 was it, but no-one did anything. At least the Thais are making their views known, whether we agree with them or not. The UK managed to finally get shot of feudalism in the first quarter of the last century without damaging our monarchy and its position in the land, helped along by two devastating world wars - I do believe that everyday Thais are now aware they need to do the same if the country is to survive within ASEAN and in the world at large. A recent conversation with my IT guy, brilliant at what he does and in demand by BKK companies and banks as well as by locals, confirmed my thoughts with his comments that it's not about Thaksin or Suthep, it's about the rest of the Thai people, all of whom are desperate for real, lasting change. Why it is that the worst from the West arrives everywhere else in the world before the best even gets a head start, I don't know, and please, please don't point out to me that Asia invented corruption - it didn't, greedy, unprincipled humans did that several millennia ago and have been refining their techniques ever since. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brevity Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) ... Indeed the consequence of her brothers action are affecting his sister and her cronies in no uncertain manner. Never mind Thaksin is safe and sound elsewhere and he is not in the least concerned about the fate of his expendable political pawns in his relentless malicious pursuit of absolute power. ... I was thinking along the same lines just before running across your post. When a new government takes over and Thaksin and Yingluck are living in Dubai in the lap of luxury, living off the spoils of their crimes, would it be in the new government's power, as well as moral responsibility, to press official charges against them by involving Interpol to apprehend them and return them to Thailand to face punishment?

After all it was the greatest idea of the man from Dubai, who as I remember from before the last election promised to make everybody "rich" in six months, and the TOTAL responsibility of the PTP government and PM Yingluck to make it so. Where did it go wrong and whose responsibility was it? Surely not the PTP as they keep saying it is/was/and always will be somebody elses fault.

What had they done to help the farmers under the rice pledging scheme which they have been trying to 'murder'? When you've finished your homework on 'political attempt to dissuade', please review and support 'flaming', and check tense usage, regarding conjugation of the verb 'to have'. Also, murder does not normally refer to a 'scheme', in the way you presented.

webfact Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Thailand's caretaker premier a 'no show' at work todayBy Digital ContentBANGKOK, Feb 19 – Thailand's caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra did not show up for work at her temporary office at the Office of the Permanent Secretary for Defence today to avoid escalating tensions as the office is now surrounded by anti-government protesters.Maj-Gen Surachart Jitjang, public relations chief of the Office of the Defence Minister, told the media that Ms Yingluck’s absence was due to concerns that her appearance at her temporary office in the Muang Thong Thani convention centre may spark violence and affect local residents in those areas.People’s Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) demonstrators from all rally sites in Bangkok arrived at the permanent secretary for defence office this morning to tighten pressure on the embattled caretaker premier. The protesters, however, are prohibited from entering the army premises.Regarding protesters’ calls for the military not to allow Ms Yingluck to enter her temporary office, Maj-Gen Surachart explained that the army had to arrange office space for the caretaker premier as she also serves as caretaker Defence Minister. He said that army personnel otherwise are still working as usual today despite Ms Yingluck’s absence.Maj-Gen Surachart called on the public to take extra precaution while being outside as nails were found scattered on Cheang Wattana Road this morning to obstruct the work of the authorities.

If they'd stop making their plans and intended locations known and broadcasted, they could corner her and get her to reach some sort of agreement...or consequence. Problem that occurs again and again, is that she knows no consequences in a childish way. Some serious heat with her in a corner among angry protesters might finally get her to resign, and be shaken up by all the bad decisions, lying and lack of accountability.

Still an anti-government protest leader calling for 'eliminate the Thaksin regime' is more in line with what you'd expect from a leader of a violent, armed rent-a-thug mob (as some like to call them), wouldn't you say. I mean a UDD leader turned Pheu Thai party list MP calling for the 'eradication of democrats' would be more suspect, especially coming from a 'democracy against dictatorship' leader.

Maybe she thought that telling them it was the fault of the anti-government protesters wouldn't help this time. As for 'fleeing an angry mob', well the topic title is only on 'flees angry farmers' although the topic describes she decided not to go to work (there). BTW Suthep is not having discussions with Yingluck , he simply reiterates the need for her to step down and go away. That's not the same as Ms. Yingluck saying "we want to talk" following by her local CMPO head vowing to get Suthep.
