longway Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) The naysayers don't seem to see what the alternative was going to be if the army had not taken control of the country,civil war it was heading quickly in that direction,so what we have today is the better of the two evils. Thaksin will just have to pick another member of the family to be PM, and try to push for amnesty for him and return of his money,thats the kind of Democracy they want. regards Worgeordie If the army didnt take control but did what they supposed to do ,Suthep and friends would sit in prison,and Yingluk would be still PM until next election, I think u r getting it now. It was less of a conspiracy Imo than Suthep creating such a mess that if they did not take his side the shins would hv ended up in a stronger position than before.

Shame on those unelected 'appointees' and shame on some TVF 'pundits' for supporting a military junta and be careful what you wish for The only thing I wish for is better days for this country we live in. For 7 years now I've been hearing and witnessing social unrest, killings, corruption disrespect for any law, disrespect for the Thai citizens. For the past 6 months tranquility and enforcement of the law is taking place. You, Sir, better take the blinkers you are wearing off and Thank the current government for what they are achieving. Rhetorics is a cheap way to express yourself. I don't know what planet you live on but down here in Thailand its the same old scams day after day....absolutely nothing has changed. I could list all the scams but then again you already think the country of Thailand is bright and wonderful because the general told you so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangrak Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 'Democracy has died in Thailand today': Thai ex-PM Yingluck that was actually May 22... NCPO tells Yingluck not to hold press conference and basic rights like freedom of speech went with it. What on earth makes you think that freedom of speech is a basic right..... freedom of speech has to be earned and the Thais certainly have NOT earned that... the way they sell their votes to the highest offer denies them that right... Nothing in life is free... grow-up.... NCPO should have authorised it, on the condition she would restrict herself only to answer questions, by herself, not using papers, a prompter, an earpiece, and nobody authorised to stand (jump?) in for her or give complementary comments. There would not have been any press conference IMO, or it would have been an exceptional moment marking the end of a puppet, and maybe of the, muted, ventriloquists around her too... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iReason Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 junta cheerleaders out in force. have fun. enjoy the news. And remember... if you do nothing wrong, then you have nothing to fear... Obviously leading an illegal coup is a far less serious crime than winning the mandate of the voters. This place gets more like animal farm all the time, Prayuth is like Napoleon and any election winner Snowball, to be persecuted with a trumped up charge and hopefully chased off the farm. What happened to 'reconciliation'? or was that just for some of the pigs Thai wife tells me the men in her Issan village back in Udon, are all happy The word around is Never Trust a woman to do a Mans Job Maybe she not have the full support she used to have "Never Trust a woman to do a Mans Job" Well, that's just plain neanderthal misogyny and ignorance. Has nothing to do with Yingluck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squeegee Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 As I said in another thread, this will probably result in a severe blow back later on. You are too late This is the blow back after the shins conquered politics It's not going to end like this. There are two sides and no real reconciliation between them. No matter what the yellows (for want of any other kind of description) will do, the reds (for want of any other kind of description) will eventually react, one way or another and vice versa. This is not the death of democracy, nor a new dawn, it's merely another rocking of the boat until a bigger storm hits. Sadly, there's still no end in sight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MaiChai Posted January 23, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2015 Yingluck's version of democracy: 'we win the election, we get to do as we please with no censure until someone else wins the election. The end'. How this women ever got this far in life amazes me, luckily her brother gave her a job. At least she won an election,I don't remember Prayuth won an election She didn't win an election. PT won, she was fast tracked to become an MP and the PT MPs appointed her PM. I remember it well. Prior to that she was the family business rubber stamper. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
