Being read their futures?

Nice neutral venue !

Being read their futures?

What future?

There is no future for them all.

This was a gathering, for attendants, to remember of past glories and cry on each others shoulder.

If possible never to come back, never to be heard of, again.

PS. Didn't, Yingluck, send her Facebook to attend the meeting?

Puppets were not invited.

i can see several people on the list of U front for D against D attendees who could/should be used as ''tiger bait'' to induce the animals from tiger kingdom/temple to enter the transport cages for the up coming transfer that is planned.

The future or a meeting on how the country is going to be carved up for the benefit of a select few.

Just like kindergarten...all the little kiddies in attendance to learn to play in the sand pit and share their toys.

Hopefully, later, there will be some summary of what transpired, what was discussed, the comments made by the various 'factions'. And hopefully, later, there will be a summation of:

- Why each faction supports some form of reconciliation is needed.

- What each 'faction' expects from reconciliation, what their objectives are.

- What each 'faction' is suggesting as a reconciliation process & what actions to take.

I wonder what 'guidance' was given beforehand.

Given the venue, and the fact that the media were excluded, the summary, if there is one, is likely to be somewhat one sided.

That's great. Now all the corrupt yellows have joined hands with all the corrupt red.

Nothin gonna stop us now?

Believe it! !!??

Nothin gonna stop us now.?

There is something surreal about the military coup leaders holding a reconcliation meeting with civilans on a military base, especially after Prayut has invoked Article 44 to rob Thais of their rights & liberties.

"Ya all come down, you hear. Let's all be friendly like one happy family."

And maybe I won't execute you - just joking!
