Scamper Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Fabulous article. Yingluck and Pheu Thai are indeed under the assumption that a mandate can allow them to do anything. Their supporters harbour that assumption as well. That's the major disconnect. And the disturbing thing is that - even now - those assumptions doggedly persist. Thaksin has never been able to connect the dots when it comes to the consequences of breaking the law. And Pheu Thai are similarly wired. Nixon famously quipped " If the president does it, that means it's not illegal. " That's Thaksin. That's Pheu Thai. When such a fundamental breakdown of accountability takes root to such a degree, it isn't at all that surprising that it has led to this situation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HonestQuietBob Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 problem is the 'other' paper cannot be quoted and so we get a daily stream of yellow articles (not TVF fault) Yep... not TVF's fault. It is almost impossible to find good news for Thaksin supporters, because even Kahaosod seem to be delicately changing their stance. I suppose it is Thanksin, YL and PTPs fault for all the mess and the inability of almost any press to print something supportive for you lot to enjoy reading. "It is almost impossible to find good news for Thaksin supporters" How about 99% of the international press? How's that stack up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeckosDiving Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 "The relentless protests on the streets" Wrong! Should read: "2000 paid guards in Lumpini ripping off the local prostitutes". PTP have guards in Lumpini and their ripping off the local prostitutes actually I would believe that !! They've already ripped off the FARMERS so they are looking for other easy prey !! That's PTP style Brings tears to my eyes !!! wait a minute that's probably the reason YL is crying she was told by some camel jockey in Dubai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dap Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Surely her tears were never for the wrongs she commited along with her party. More than likely they are because she got caught and knew a severe scolding would be pending from her big brother. Also, her tears genuinely touch the hearts of those poor misled souls who believe she is persecuted simply because of some simple mistakes. Mai pan rai and leave her alone as it is plain to see through those tears she is a good sympathetic woman who only cares about true democracy and helping all thai people heheeee ;-) . Too bad it is all a facade made to make her supporters think she is a good leader albeit a weak one. Her tears be they real or crododile are done purposefully. Like a child who got caughy with his hand in the cookie jar yet through the childs tears convinces you he wasnt really goin to take a cookie. YL and her party have not only been caught tapping many cookie jars but it seems weekly more is added. Its time she stood up abd told her people she is responsible. Not only for her actions, but for her inaction to her subordinates whom she carries responsibilty for. Her dilema will not end for a very long time and history (if not twisted) will show her as an irresponsible and weak leader among other things. Sent from my GT-S5310 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Can't remember ever seeing another "leader" of a Nation crying on TV quite so much. I'm pretty <deleted> sure Maggie Thatcher never did lol Which certainly procures a bizarre mental image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
