Suthep tells supporters to be on standby



BANGKOK: -- Protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban told supporters of the People’s Democratic Reform Committee to be on the standby for a mass gathering in Bangkok to protect the independent organizations against possible escalated harassment by red-shirt followers.

Addressing a crowd at Lumpini park Thursday night, the PDRC secretary-general said he expected red-shirt followers to step up pressure on the independent organizations once the National Anti-Corruption Commission formally indicts caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra in connection with corruption in the rice pledging scheme.

He told the audience that the independent organizations need to be protected otherwise they would not be able to perform their duties.

Mr Suthep urged the prime minister to accept the Constitution Court’s ruling against the government’s two trillion baht loan bill for the development of infrastructure mega projects including high-speed trains.

He asked the prime minister whether she should respect the law or respect the Thaksin regime.

Is this the same idiot who took over agencies and prevented people from working and performing their duties? Stupid bloody hypocrite.

[englishoak]

I wonder if he wears blue white and red underpants as well just to be on the safe side.

So it's ok for you to go protest and block building and tell people to leave work and support you, but when the other side does it, it's not Ok.

The Final Push!

After months of waiting, Finally it's here.

Go Team Yellow

Fight Team Yellow

Same thing that was said 4 years ago, and before that ad infinitum . . . it's the Thai way . . . short memories . . .

[upena]

Will this be the final, final, final push finally?

[chooka]

Will this be the final, final, final push finally?

If he goes in and tries to strip them of their rights to protest he might just start a bloodbath. He believes that only his people have rights to do as he is doing. Democracy Suthep style everything for him and nothing for the rest

Post containing an inappropriate play on words, and a number of responses, removed.

[Fat Haggis]

Awesome, it took less than 5 posts to make a reference to 2010 Both sides are as bad as each other

Respect the Law he says?? You'll be handing yourself over to the Cops this morning then?

Inciting protestors to capture Government officials as well I seem to recall...pretty sure that's also against the law..

This doesn't sound like the same man from 4 months ago, where he had a lot more credibility than he has today..

[larsjohnsson]

He should tell the Bangkok people to be on standby because of his thugs/guards

Chooka, as far as the protesters are concerned, you send in the bests posts. Keep it up.

but when the other side burns, bombs and intimidates, (as they are well known for) it's not Ok.

No it is definitely not OK for any side to bomb or intimidate people. What is being burnt???

Coffins outside of NACC (by red shirts), effigies of a couple of rice-scheme related ministers (by farmers) and shit (by various groups).

[Scamper]

The red shirts' attacks on the NACC are clearly stepping up. Yingluck is now expected to give testimony in fifteen days. The UDD will do everything to prevent that from happening. The public has not shred of trust in Chalerm to protect the independent agencies.

That is why the reform movement is taking place.

[Mentors]

boring but dangerous. The people will suffer once again.

Victory is Banana Coloured and Bart Simpson our Leader

[Local Drunk]

The wife and the village are waiting...The business's I know in Siam and Si lom are waiting. It isn't a joke or something to take lightly. I've seen shops close, business dry up, but they still think that the loss is worth it. To wit: Yingluck go away.

A man wanted by the police telling people to respect the law.

Oh Mr. Corrupt Palm Oil Man.

[Fat Haggis]

Riiiiiiight he informs the world that he's "consolidating " in Lumpini so as to be safer, away from the potential violence but now wants his supporters to place themselves even more are risk, by "protecting" these places, and all the time, the Army are doing what exactly?

[Dave 74]

Oh look, there goes a tumbleweed.

I'd say the army is resisting the urge to step in and end the madness that the Shins have created. You could at least give them credit for that.

I know, how dare the Shins have helped the poor majority and actually given them a voice. Don't they know that they should have been sh1tting on them from day one like all the other elites.

Suthep will announce a final countdown until he have collected a billion baht for himself and his family

Pity they cant all go home have an election and all sides accept the out come, just like most posters on here home countries do. Who ever wins will be corrupt and robbing the poor to feed the rich.

I detested Blair & Brown but accepted it and sooner or later the Thais are going to have to the same. I would imagine its been made clear to the Generals by parties of influence outside of Thailand that over throwing Democratically elected governments is no longer acceptable

I suspect that the Generals and any other"interested parties" have also worked out that this time they would not be able to keep the lid on the protest, domestic and international if they toppled the elected government, especially one headed by a personable and telegenic female Prime Minister. That is why military and judicial coups seem to have stalled, no doubt whilst they try and think of another plan.
