Popular Post candide Posted January 23, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2015 It's kind of curious though, how AFP always mentions the rice pledging scheme as funneling money to Thaksin's base among NE farmers. But somehow, they conveniently seem to forget it was YL's government's failure to actually pay those farmers what they were owed that led to a lot of the protests at the time. It was Thaksin's OTHER supporters and cronies -- not the common people farmers -- who didn't end up having to wait months to get their substantial serving from the gravy train. While others will conveniently forget it was the street protests, disruption of elections and threats of legal backlash that meant Thai commercial bank withheld the loans. no, it was the fact that yl never organized the money before she stepped down and after that they were not allowed to take it out due entirely to the laws of the country, very convenient that as it meant she could give a bullsh*t reason and lie continually to the farmers . She never had any intention of paying them and simply kept promising to stop them rioting and causing her more grief, At last she is being held up for her lies and corrupt ways, this is just the start It seems that both political sides contributed to it, not only YL's side: Protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban last night warned both commercial and state banks against any rice loans to the caretaker government with threat of facing shutdown by protesters. http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/pdrc-leader-warns-banks-rice-loans-government Anti-government demonstrators Wednesday stalled the electronic rice auction by cutting power supply at the Commerce Ministry forcing the auction to be put off to March 26. http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/protesters-stall-rice-auction 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ratcatcher Posted January 23, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2015 "Ms Yingluck and her brother, tycoon and former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, remain hugely popular among Thailand's rural poor, but are hated by an urban and middle-class elite who accuse them of corruption and abuse of power." BBC Jonathan Head Well, it looks like the 'elite' got something right for once. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweatalot Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 The eight who abstained should be sacked, if they cant or are afraid to make a decision on something this important they shouldn't be in the job. Ok the decisions have been made on the evidence presented now lets see who does and does not accept them. A purge and nothing more. You should have voted also.... If it were a purge - what's wrong with it? A purge is used as treatment for a disease 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubl Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 What I like about the yellow ultra-partisans is that first it was about "democracy" then "national reconciliation".... every time it's then thrown out the window ...nothing matters not corruption not national interest it's only about getting a win against the Shinawatras. When even The Nation starts questioning the stretch it is to link Yingluck to rice scheme corruption and brings up the words political persecution you have to start wondering.. Actually it was just about a former PM who was not so responsible and dodged accountability. Even the remark she made in her defence of "but the figures on the scheme loss differ due to different accounting methods" also suggest 'negligence'. So, yes we wonder about a 'elected' 'democratic' government which misused it's parliamentary majority to screw up to the amount of 700 billion Baht on the RPPS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 2fishin2 Posted January 23, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2015 Means nothing. This is just political eyewash from the junta. The first thing a coup does is rids the government of prior political parties. SOP. Has anything changed? No its still business as usual in Thailand, same crap different day. Its funny how the entire world knows the correct political situation in Thailand and the average Joe Citizen doesnt have a clue. He just goes about his day doing what he's told to do by whomever is in charge oppressed as usual. This country is a cult. Few years a passing party will happen, big rukus will start and the the real fun begins. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
