Caretaker premier Yingluck says she's willing to die on the democratic battlefield

[Local Drunk]

Tough talk from someone who can't or won't debate Suthep.

The dying is being done by other people, actually.

Yingluck is a hero, showing strength, leadership and standing up for democracy in the face of obnoxious bullying by some very cowardly people.

Suthep is a corrupt, boneheaded bully with murder charges hanging over his head... and yet, bizarrely enough and to their utter shame, we have a vocal group of posters on this forum supporting this scumbag. Suthep is worthless, he is just interested in a power grab at all costs.

Your name Shutep????

Looks like, reading your comment

Stormin' Norman had a quote along the lines of "How do you fight an enemy prepared to die in battle? Accommodate them."

[ChrisY1]

Oh save us !!!..What idiot writes her scripts...?

Like a soldier....die on the battlefield....<deleted>!....More stupid than she should be in her position!

don't know about Suthep but your description of Yingluck is boarding disbelief. Perhaps you can explain where she has demonstrated effective leadership? I have never seen it. The country is in a terrible mess and I see nothing but defiance for Suthep from Yingluck.

How has she helped the rice farmers? What is / was the governments plan for resolving this peacefully? why won't she challenge Suthep on his accusations of corruption, if she is such an hero and clean of all accusations she could simply squash him and move on. Why won't she have an open debate with suthep on TV on her own? Surely this is her chance to demonstrate her "leadership and strength" and show her people that Suthep is all that you say he is.

Suthep might now be the right man but you need to seriously re evaluate your understanding of heroics, strength and leadership.

The sooner the better.

Democratic principles? Come on Yingluck, describe them. Oh, sorry you can't, even you're own party doesn't trust you to be competent.

Sounds like her brother in 2010 when he said

"As soon as the first bullet flies I will be there to lead you"

Possibly not his exact words but the meaning is there.

And what happened ? well nothing really he just stayed in his luxury while his supporters sweated and bled on the street.

Or like the red leaders on there stage back then

"We will fight to the last drop of blood"

Then as soon as it looked like it might be their blood they couldn't get their hands in the air quick enough, the ones that didn't run away that is.

Many waiting in line, first Chalerm has to finish his own beheading.

And can you please give us a date, perhaps on the same day the farmers have been paid?????

Once again, her lack of leadership & management skills are on full display. Yingluck, for the sake of the country, needs to resign, she is incapable of performing effectively as PM.

Aren't there other Thaksin puppets waiting in the wings? Why does it have to be her? It's not like she actually was ever remotely qualified for the job.

[tomross46]

I have a knife she could borrow, than she could do the honorable thing.

[rucus7]

Since the reference to dying was on a political battlefield, I would take it as figurative. However, talk is cheap quite literally.

scumbag he says staring lovingly at the mirror..grow and stop trolling very childlike post yet again...

[Local Drunk]

Shakespeare would have blushed at the rhetoric that Thais puts out.

If every politician or prime minister that showed a lack of leadership and management or who did not perform effectively had to resign, there wouldn't be many left! What's wrong with just voting her and her party out at an election?

[eggers]

Yingluck has again shown her complete lack of both Leadership & Management skills & applying her "drama queen" skills to the situation. Obviously, the Puppeteer doesn't have a clue either.

[whoisyourdaddy]

Turns out she has bigger balls than her brother

Unless of course she just read something out without even knowing what she read

[Katipo]

Dying on the democratic battlefield? Such figurative bravery. In the mean time ordinary Thais are really dying every week as a result of she and her brother clinging to power like the dictators they are.

[janpharma]

Words...words...words....

[petedk]

She won't talk one on one because she can't.

Every time there has been a debate in parliament where someone posed her a difficult question she had someone answer for her. She couldn't do that on a one on one debate.

Ok so let them chat together on Facebook. That seems to be about the only way she can communicate.

[dude123]

I think we would all die if we could even meet just one honest politican.

Did you know that since she took office she never had a debate? Never ever with anybody! The Democrats have asked her 122 questions since she took office and she answered 2.

Please elaborate on what you think makes her a leader?. I bet you can't .

I suppose she'll have to go shopping for the latest Gucci Seal Team 6 fatigues for this assignment.

he can go with her ex-sister-in-law and buy a Louie Vuitton bag to carry her necessities in!

[BwindiBoy]

Prove it!

[keemapoot]

Really speechless at such vacuous & impotent leadership. I would have expected better from the sister of the CEO PM.

Correct. If she want's to die on the democratic battlefield why is she not in Bangkok where the battle is?
