Toppled Thai PM 'can't eat noodles' without our say: Prayut

[falangjim]

Coarse, inarticulate, and a bully: Ladies and gentlemen of Thailand meet General Prayuth.

[WhizBang]

Just when it looked as though he might be leaning towards a bit of tact and diplomacy in the wake of the Japan visit, he shoots himself in the foot with this nonsense. Whoever is providing his PR advice should sacked, pronto.

It's rare for us to see eye to eye on things, but on this we can.

From what I can see, the higher up the ranks you go, civilian or military, the less that tact, diplomacy and simple common decency and common sense seem to apply.

It's always that "now I'm here, I can do whatever the <deleted> I want" attitude.

Ah, Thainess.

[rijb]

I would have hoped he has learned his lesson by now and stop these metaphors.

Unfortunately I have to be subjected again to the wise opinions of the TVF members.

Why don't you go eat some noodles while you still can.

[lungbing]

I wonder if the next civilian government (should there ever be one) will reform the army.

I'd like to point out something. It's not just Yingluck that's having a bad time. So is her brother in law Somchai Wongsawat, so is Jatuporn leader of the red UDD, the only one not on the list is Thaksin and why?

Why aren't they trying to get Thaksin?

Well, that would be a surefire way to spark another coup.

Probably the only way to reform them will be to actually fight them and make it so obvious that the people wont stand for their infernal interference.

[kareona]

You are all wrong. Prayut can prohibit toppled PM Yinluck going for a meal of noodles. Yes, he can. But he doesn't and that shows very clearly his good and tender heart.

[Reigntax]

Being dyslexic I almost had a cheer. I thought the headline said "Thai PM toppled by noodle eating can'ts"

[MaiChai]

Since Yingluck was Taksins puppet, she is now going to do jail time for him?

Put it another way. Taksin runs away from jail time so Yingluck is going to do it for him since the government cannot get him?

I would observe that bpoo being Yinglucks nickname means crab. You might compare mannerisms between her and a crab or why she got that nickname?

Read "Animal Farm." Why would they want to get rid of their bogeyman when they can continue to use his existence as a reason to stay in power, all the while blaming any and all of their failures on him and his 'wreckers'?

[JAG]

The more they strut their stuff, the more attention they draw to her.

Every time they stop and search her car, station troops outside her house or make daft comments like this they are helping to create the martyr the red shirts want and reinforcing the international communities views on military juntas and deposed elected female prime ministers.

They have dug themselves a heffalump trap and are goose stepping into it.

Thaksin tried to do this and ended up in Dubai

"If she wants to go to eat noodles then she can go but if we prohibit her then she cannot go,"

disgusting treatment of the ex-PM

PS Churchill : "In war, resolution; in defeat, defiance; in victory, magnanimity"

I believe you are forgetting how this Puppet 'PM' treated the country she was supposed to be administering, not filling her and her 'brother's' overseas bank accounts. The word 'disgustingly' doesn't begin to cover it. Start with 'contemptuously'.

BTW, if the General has hopes of emulating his chum Xi's MO, she could eat those bloody noodles as her last meal.

[northernjohn]

Well this is a stupid thing to say

BANGKOK: -- Thailand's junta chief Thursday said the military is keeping such a close eye on ousted Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra that she would be unable to eat a bowl of noodles without their permission.

If indeed he said it.

It would not surprise me one bit if he had said with out are knowing it.

But that would not sell as many news papers.

[fobuff]

Run Yingluk Run while you still can

Are you suggesting they waste money. There has been previous attempts to get him but the charges against him do not warrant the intervention of other countries and Interpol has said they are not taking part in those charges either.

Once again the New PM shows his wisdom.

[boomerangutang]

Somewhat close to mark. I see him as a father-knows-best-wannabe figure. He expects the Thai people to always kow-tow to authority. He also made some coarse comments right after the double murder of Brits in Sept at Ko Tao. If he's anything like Thaksin, he could never admit making a mistake.

[Bluespunk]

"If she wants to go to eat noodles then she can go but if we prohibit her then she cannot go," Prayut told reporters Thursday, indicating the military would continue to monitor her movements.

Why would they do that? Do they think she might try skip the country?

Probably yes.

I know I do.

Err, you may be in danger of shooting yourself in the foot there, John...

Trouble - serious trouble - what's the matter with these posters?

[WitawatWatawit]

I've noticed of late just how intensely personal Prayut is making everything. It's all "I" and "me", "my problems", and "I'm tired of this" and "I'm tired of that". Classic megalomania I would suggest. The good general needs to stop turning everything in on himself and start realising the old adage, "when the going gets tough, the tough get going." He's made his bed, now he must lie in it.

Bluespunk give her a break? she was not a 'great' but i doubt she understood all the workings around her, for me this is extremely distasteful, the victimization and bullying...

I wonder if posters would be quite so sympathetic if this were Samak or Somchai? And if not, why not?

[tbthailand]

from just a couple weeks ago, ...

"Today, have I ever restricted anyone's rights? Have I ever done that?" asked Gen. Prayuth,

It looks like the General is "outing" himself...

Toppled Thai PM 'can't eat noodles' without our say: junta chief

Yes but he is not restricting her movements. Just watching them. So I guess he isn't "outing" himself after all.

?

I think you need to read what he said one more time, ... and then read the latest news...

From the OP

""If she wants to go to eat noodles then she can go but if we prohibit her then she cannot go," Prayut told reporters Thursday"

So, where's the report Ms. Yingluck was not allowed to go eat noodles?

[baboon]

^^

Even your deflection attemps are becoming feebler and more desperate-sounding...

[toybits]

Precious! Truly precious!!!

[Wilsonandson]

If Yingluck goes to prison it's logical to go after Thaksin next. Surely they can catch him or make a deal with the countries he resides in to capture him for them. They got Bin laden.
