In the (very unlikely) event that turned out to be the case, if I were you I'd worry more about those left behind and their likely response rather than the narrow focus on just a few...but that issue seems lost on the lunatic fringe obsessed with the Shin family

Don't worry matey that's all been though of , long ago

[chainarong]

I was disappointed that a black hawk was standing by, I was under the impression the Good PM was needed for a court case.

I hope the Nation can answer in a straightforward manner on whether the article on the URL below was indeed first appeared in Financial Times

If they ignore, then it can be treated that either they lied or that AV lied to them.

So we can add "The Nation" to the list of coup mongers trying to bring the government down?

I sent an email to Barrock Obama asking him if he thought Thaksin was a dictator. If he ignored my emails it means that Thaksin was a dictator. Guess what? I got no reply!! Turns out Thaksin is a dictator.

I can see why his ID is Icommunity and not IQ.

What's with the constant Hitler references?

Showing your age guys

[metisdead]

Posts containing references to Hitler have been removed as this is inflammatory and hyperbolic in nature.

[Confuscious]

Suthep may win this battle eventually, but the war hasn't even started.

1000 Suthep sponsored farmers on their way to Bangkok, but millions of farmers at home knowing exactly what is going on.

If Suthep gets his people council, it will mean civil war for Thailand.

The Army knows it and that's why they're not pushing Suthep over the finish line.

It has never been a real battle for either one of them.

But the real battle will start when the Government will be toppled and the PM jailed.

The farmers will want their money, not a government.

Elected or not is not the matter.

When Suthep will have finish his little game, the real problems will loom around the corner.

The farmers, the south, rain season and floodings, etc.

And thanks to Suthep, the economy of Thailand will be a disaster.

People will have NO confidence in companies as their shares will be not more worth as the paper their are written on (AIS, etc.).

Will be good to see how Suthep and his team of whistle blowers are going to find a solution for this.

A civil was will be impossible to avoid.

The army knows that.

But is the population of Thailand aware of this?

[farang000999]

So if Thaksin and Yingluck is so unpopular now why not just call another election and let them lose in a landslide?

[kerrysum]

From the OP :-

"Thai farmers are the now richest in the world. They are creditors to the tune of Bt1.1 billion, while the government is the debtor."

If only it were "Bt 1.1 billion", as mis-stated here, rather than B130-billion-ish !

Oh, and the new irrigated-crop is already in-the-ground/mud, up here in the North-West, so there will be plenty-more-rice where the previous lot came from, coming soon to an over-stuffed government-owned/leased warehouse near you !

I think you hit it where it needs to be hit....... Great comment..... Hey folks let us just keep it simple .......

[mrtoad]

The rice scheme worked for the past 3 years without problems.

[Patpending]

More amazing is that outside of the Suthep media, the story is about the media bias and this total blitz of propaganda flooding the "News" forums this week.

Smacks of desperation and nobody outside of their ranks is buying it.

Larry, shall I put a pointless post at the end of all my posts or do you get a thrill from adding your poiintless prattle?

15.000 Farmer, led by a member of the government coalition partners

[kerrysum]

Most amazing news is how much the Courts and Media have exposed their allegiences out in the open.

This is desperate days for the Coup now. They are pannic stricken and every item in their news is co-ordinated.

Did anybody see that an army hit team in Naratiwas was arrested for murder. Shot to men dead, but whilst escaping in a pick up truck they crashed into a police car. and were arrested fleeing the scene.....

Does not fit in with Thai Meda, but everybody else who read it - was released at 1:00am in order that it be buried - is commenting on the press role in all this.

Reason for 1:00am release is that they can claim they reported it!!! Amazing indeed.

What they now know is that if they can't get Yingluck out, they will have strengthened her!! If suthep fails, they are really in the cart.

How about let the people be free, and not manipulated.... Guess we are looking for free market, not fair market..... the farmers didn't come up with this scheme under the government controls, maybe, just maybe, it was used to buy the farmers vote?????

Oh, I wouldn't worry about the over stuffing if I were you.

At the rate these rice storage facilities are getting burnt down to cover the discrepancies in inventory, there won't be any stockpile to worry about in a few weeks time.

Thailand will soon be importing rice from its neighbours in g2g deals.

[boomerangutang]

The rice scheme worked for the past 3 years without problems.

It was blatant 'pay for votes.' There are more rice farmers than any other type of farmers in Thailand, so Shinawatres figured (correctly, at the time); 'let's pay them to vote for us.' Yet, from any angle, other than the vote-buying, the scheme was profoundly flawed.

Yingluck and her cadre wanted to end it 7 months ago. The farmers wouldn't let her. So she acquiesced, and we're now seeing the results. But we're only in the 2nd Act of this loonie play - there are several more Acts yet to play out.

[farang000999]

I am not going to support the rice scheme but printing money and giving it to poor people is exactly what nearly every 1st world country does... So just get rid of the rice crap and keep making payments and call yourself (insert 1st world country).

Nope. The scheme was not about buying votes it was about creating a vehicle for graft.

Do you feel better about yourself after that lame drabble? Good. enjoy it.

[soalbundy]

I cant see what you lot are all getting worked up about.Thai politics was infused with corruption in the past, now, and will be in the future. The trough will be the same, the snouts will be different,only the names will be changed to protect the innocent.

For us it should have entertainment value only. It isn't for nothing apparently that discussions in pubs on religion and politics is frowned upon. I must admit though the comments make a good read.

Go on twitter and ask the Nation writers directly. You'll probably get better response if it's a matter of mass public record

[pookiki]

Amazing? Amazing how much of this 'editorial' (I think) is total nonsense. It would be helpful if news articles are identified as editorials and not 'news' on TVF.

If you don't like TV don't log in...

I asked for a simple courtesy for Christ's sake. Separating the 'news' from 'opinion' -- or in this case separating 'news' from 'fantasy'. If you don't like what I write, don't bother do respond!

Thanks. I prefer to ask the source that released the article first. I have also written to Financial Times for clarification.

There seems to be a number of editorial pieces that are being foisted off by the Nation as being written by respectable individuals in Thai society. The Surin article was one and the most recent Surin article sounded a bit strange to me as well. I would think that 'media ethics' should be subject to reform as well.

[pistachios]

I'm quite surprised at the sarcastic tone of this article. Didn't know thais were able to do that

[Halion]

This is about much bigger things than politics, and the anti-democratic 'Yellow Shirts' have played their hand brilliantly as they tightened the noose around a democratically elected government. I just worry about the repercussions...

Interesting, Perhaps you could take some time to highlight the perception of "democracy" as viewed by the Red Shirts.

The term democracy is being used significantly but so many who by their myopic and slanted interpretation are rendering the word redundant. The only way that it would be relevant was if it was prefixed as Thai Democracy, which is a far cry from real democracy.
