Prayut will not commit to poll date

Deputy Premier indicates early 2016;

[ginjag]

You still following me around Ginny

I'm not the only one slagging off at the coup.Well yes there is me and hang on yes the rest of the world.

He got there via the gun took power by force said he wasn't going to be PM and shutdown any opposition and freedom of speech.

Now the press is asking not even hard questions and he can't handle it and that's internal so imagine if he had to answer the real hard questions.

As for dragging up the old suicide defense there's plenty of farmers in oz that have done the same thing and it's not just restricted to to Thailand .

Really pathetic that you have to stoop that low in defence of your beloved dictator.

Anyway nice try in hijacking the thread but it's all about the general now He wanted it he took and he was condemned for it and now he has to deal with it.

Koh Tao is a pretty good indicator of the level of respect this unelected junta shows towards it's co operation with other governments ie the Brits!

Who on earth wants to be following you around ??? got a guilt complex ???

Oh the GUN Ha Ha.------my suicide facts speak for themselves. " my beloved "" ridiculous. Me Hijacking the thread ???? was I not allowed to post ??

Keep up the good anti anything propaganda----still in denial it seems. Your hate for the clean up is apparent.

[Thaddeus]

They're trying to use the word 'putsch', a German term for coup in place of the English word coup?

Scary

Putsch is an English word of German origin. Coup is an English word of French origin. I fail to see anything scary here.

coup d'état is a purely French expression and 'coup' a shortening of that - nothing English about it

Latin origins actually. Many words from european languages are founded in latin, and English has adopted most of them.

But let's not waste time deliberating your lack of understanding when there are far more interesting things to do.

I am French, therefore, I know perfectly that the word coup originates from the French expression 'coup d'État', but this word, just like putsch (although much more recently for this word) has been integrated in the English language (since 1646 according to Merriam Webster) and is now an English word. By the way, a significant percentage of all English words have a French origin (45% according to different sources).

Prayut will not commit to poll date

Read the words----not a date yet-------your words imply he will not have elections----different.--------

Difference "not commit to poll" " not commit to the date"--------expected late next year---depending on the progress made.

' He clarified the putsch as an unavoidable response to overcome the political impasse and prevent the country from slipping into civil war. '

Yes, and as many people suspected at the time and even Suthep later confirmed , the political impasse was created by people behind the scenes ( Prayuth , Suthep , PAD etc ) because they knew that yet another coup to overthrow a government elected by the people would be unacceptable unless a suitable justification could be created. They then went out and created just such a situation and went ahead and had their coup, all the time lying that it was the last thing on their minds.

Next , they took a leaf out of Thaksins books and launched a series of populist policies to make the coup look like a good thing. And now, promised elections ( which would be a farce anyway ) have been put on indefinite hold.

Maybe you can use le weekend to find more about English words used in French too!

The BP is reporting that the Thai and Japanese versions of the meeting with Abe are vastly different.

Surprise, surprise Thai officials are saying there was lots of praise for the PM etc. but no mention of Abe supposedly urging democracy be returned as soon as possible.

Thailand really does stretch diplomacy with all these statements they make on behalf of other countries.

Unless you provide a link, I don't believe you.

I just watch Ch5, the news praise how much flowers Prayuth received in Milan, and how much the EU farang understand that it is necessary for him to scarify himself, to stop violence and killing between Thai people before he step in.

[fab4]

The Japanese press version of the meeting between Prayuth and Mr Abe , is very different from what has been reported by the Thai press.

Prayuth, s visit to Europe will surely be treated by the politicians as something that will have to be pandered to for a short while, but he will soon be gone.

Yes apparently, what was actually said was this

"Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe urged his Thai counterpart Prayuth Chan-ocha on Thursday to step up efforts to restore democracy in the Southeast Asian country,"

and the other paper reported that Fabio Polenghi's sister called the PM an "assassin who along with others ordered the execution of my beloved brother Fabio" but did provide in mitigation photographic evidence that nine women were on hand to support him. So not all bad........................

As the poster stated, the article is from the BP and no links from that site allowed on this forum. But since you obviously own a computer, I'll give you a hint on how to find the link. Go to google, type the capital of thailand (english version) along with the word post. You should be able to figure it out from there.

While you are there, take a look at some international news stories covering this event. Amazing what you can learn.

[ginjag]

Poor Ginjag

Was it 5 attempts to post a 1 liner ??? and me foolish ???

The PM is a hero compared to the last zoo in power---those are the ones that were foolish, having all the power needed and stupidly shooting their selves in the foot. Now that is FOOLISH.

This guy like him or lump it is doing what he can to right the wrongs----sure there will be hick-ups. Keep to your hate rhetoric.

Ginjag, haven't you noticed that in the past few weeks all hardcore supporters of the general on this forum have switched sides ?

Must be for a reason don't you think.

Don't you feel lonely out there now?

Hadn't noticed really---only a few have frowned like me at the few comments here and there.----switched sides---your joking. 55555 ha ha.

Have another meeting you guys and come up with something different than the attempt to BS.

Are you feeling more secure with your 12 new recruits on the anti army trail. ???

OK you put a figure of % against the intervention. Also add the % figures of many of your clan who want the return of Yingluck------lets have it---you brought it up.

Question----is Thailand on a better footing/more even keel now------opposed to PTP ??

There are now less comments from posters answering your clans propaganda/rhetoric---reason most are pigged off with this organized anti army brigade.

" I don't want to stay in office a day longer than was set". Just curious as to what day was set. I didn't realize that a day has been set.

[iReason]

"At present, I fight every day. When I'm home, I argue with my wife. She asks why I did not do this or that. I say I did it but some tasks are beyond my ability."

"In conclusion, I'm unhappy. Everyone is unhappy,"

Boo hoo.

A Rookie.

In way over his head.

And cracking in his first appearance on the world stage.

I've said it long ago, this guy had no plan.

Yeah, throw a few bums off the beach.

Throw a party with scantily clad dancing women to bring back "Happiness" to the people.

Made some meaningless headlines.

He thought (and many here in these forums) that he was the White Knight riding in to the rescue.

I entirely agree with you that it is necessary for Prayuth to scarify himself.He was able to explain to the EU farang who had previously misunderstood the situation.Now they are all very happy ( he didn't actually meet any but he was able to shout his message through the hotel walls).He definitely received lots of flowers.Channel 5 was absolutely right that Abe had nothing but warm praise and the fact the official Japanese record of the meeting had a sharply worded rebuke is simply the result of poor translation.The comparison one newspaper made between Prayuth and the late Idi Amin of Uganda was a disgrace, and a complaint has been made to the Italian Press Council.

Well we all know the White Knight in Shiny Armour is that poor, often misjudged and maligned criminal fugitive.

BTW "Many Thais living in exile after fleeing martial law and many others facing politically motivated criminal charges rallied in Milan, according to self-exiled academic and activist Junya Yimprasert."

Somehow it would seem those exiles all have enough money, Also if they were going through the 'political asylum' phase they would not be allowed to protest. Seems none of them is as poor as all those farmers left behind.

Since some British consider ex-PM Tony Blair a murderer for his 'legal' involvement in the Bush War, I'm sure PM Prayut doesn't feel too bad at the moment.

Ever considered that there may be a lot more "quiet" opponents but are not visible due to the fact that they don't have the financial resources to travel to a place where they are allowed to voice their concerns.

[Baerboxer]

EU really should keep it's nose out of Thai politics, it clearly does not understand the situation, especially on an Asian perspective. Ranting on about 'democracy' is clearly an ideology that is not shared by many Asian countries. My advise to the EU is to sort your own back yard first before pointing the finger.

What about India, the world's largest democracy, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Taiwan, Bangladesh, Singapore, Japan, Taiwan, Cambodia, and even Myanmar? No shared perspectives? If Prayuth and his wife aren't happy with the situation, why does he think the majority of Thais are? You'll never know without a democratic election.

India - the world's largest and most corrupt democracy!

They could teach the Thais a thing or two about corrupt politicians, corrupt election practices, human trafficking, corrupt ineffective policing, and fitting suspects up.

Philippines could teach them about the realities of allowing corrupt political family dynasties to establish de facto dictatorships in which citizens can't even travel freely (still). Bangladesh - that well known bastion of human rights, social justice and religious tolerance? Singapore a successful city state - run by a family, good police force though.

Really useful to meet some of the delegates from these countries.
