Yingluck says she will appear at Supreme Court next week to prove her innocence

[ginjag]

Good luck YS the majority of Thailand electorate is rooting for you.

---She never had a majority before, and she wasn't elected by the Thai electorate. she is way down in the favour votes, as the public are more aware now---only the die hards who are in denial remain------but I have to admit it is still a fair percentage in the rural areas. BUT fading fast.

[Yunla]

Spank you three times.

What happened to the Presumption on Innocents until proven Guilty in a court of law applying rules of evidence.

Don't be silly, this is Thai Visa!

It's OK---a big 5% on Thai visa feel sorry for her---Quote her saying "I did nothing wrong"........we know there are countless others from both sides of the fence that did wrong----but why are you in denial all the time--------face reality for once.

I speak as one of 5%.(?)

So your meticulous monitoring of our posts ( of which you have boasted more than once) leads you to believe that we feel sorry for her, and are "in denial" and need to face reality for once".

I don't feel sorry for her, I respect the fact that she was the popular choice (not on this forum obviously) but of the Thai electorate. I admire the way in which she dealt with the PDRC s attempts to bring down her government, and far from being a political naif I think she is facing the impending show trial with great courage.

As far as "denial" and " facing reality" are concerned, well if reality is represented by your paranoid rants and obsessive monitoring of other people's opinions, I'll stick with denial if it's all the same with you.

No problem --you stick with the 5% on here and you well know the facts, Monitoring of OUR posts

WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. I merely put the view across that Thailand is far better off NOW than it was under the Shin regime. History about Army--Abhisit etc are irrelevant.

Facts are facts about total mismanagement after being elected. Bringing the country to it's knees.

This is what my observations are. Your insults are not a one off here on TVF.

She needs more than courage at the trial-------and she never did anything worthwhile apart from being a party to corrupt government--especially the rice job and the amnesty job---feel free to support her in her hour of need, suppose you feel sorry for her brother --all his problems were politically motivated--like his sister now ???

You ask (shout actually, but then you do that rather a lot) "What on earth are you talking about? "

Might I suggest that you read the last paragraph off my post in conjunction with you post. You will find that you have answered your own question.

You are obviously sensitive to what you feel are my "insults". If you carefully and calmly read the last batch of posts you have made on this topic you will realise that apart from lacking any cohesive argument they largely consist of abuse and insults. Perhaps what you perceive as "insults" are a response to your own abusive bellowings?

[Wombat6]

She certainly has more testicular fortitude than her brother Thaksin.

Frankly I wish her the best of ying, because she is up against a stacked deck. And ,no I am not a YS fan.

By "stacked Deck" i hope you mean " a lot of evidence of her guilt"

[Wombat6]

I feel sorry for her. The whole system is loaded against her - corrupt to the core and I don't mean Yingluck.

You should do

[Johnny S]

I love it when ever Yingluck is in the news lots of ex pats have to compose ridiculous posts about people who love her, she will win the next election, she is just a muppet etc etc. Most of you know sweet FA about Thai politics and corruption methods which dont ever affect your personal lives but you love to write crap about the farcical ways of Thai goverment. They dont know what they are doing so how the hell can you ???????

but you seem to be an Expert ....

What happened to the Presumption on Innocents until proven Guilty in a court of law applying rules of evidence.

It's only the legal system that has yet to "officially" find her guilty. Everyone with a brain is aware of all her past misdeeds that she got away with( brothers influence/money) and naturally consider her guilty of the charges as expressed here on Thai Visa.

[Wombat6]

History will treat her much more kindly than many TVF posters and she is still widely loved by many who see her as a victim

The many are the people who believe in Ghosts, Fortune tellers Nagas and one eyed stillborn pigs

[louse1953]

She is going to need a miracle, not to prove her innocence, but to get away with it on a technicality perhaps.

BTW. Nice of her to say she will appear this time but I don't think she has a choice. Does she?

Still thinks she's running the show.

[micmichd]

Sorry, I'm not convinced she's guilty. Is it only my personal handicap (lack of brain)?

do YOU understand that Thatcher was VOTED out? by a little thing called democracy??? whereas Yingluck was the subject of a military coup - understand that ???

Thatcher was voted into her position by the electorate....Yingluck wasn't.....understand that?????

Depends who writes the history.If i wrote it she would be seen as a puppet for a former corrupt government and was way out of her league.Politics anywhere is a tough, dirty,corrupt business and she was not up to it.

Good luck YS the majority of Thailand electorate is rooting for you.

Would you be using the "All the Thai people I know" defense to back your statement or do you have facts to back it up. Nope? I can gaunrentee you have no facts, no graphs, no tangible evidence to back your statement up except a belief that it is true. Jatuporn wants you to hold on to that belief. ISIS foster the belief that paradise will befall those that travel to Syria to.

Facts to back it up have unfortunately not been witnessed since the UDD threatened the farmers with violence if they protested. Before that facts showed the majority were behind them. I cannot deny those facts, because they were facts. Not beliefs.

Every heard of Newtons Third Law? "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction".

Threatening your supporter base with violence and physical threats towards family members if they protest against the PTP does not foster a love for the party you purport the majority respect.

Would you vote for the party whose 7% hardcore supporter base threatened your family with death if you asked the government for what they promised you 6 times yet never delivered on? (before the PDRC started protesting)

No, neither would I...

What the hell are you craping on about newtons law.. Does it also affect elections does it.. I wish I knew that in my physics classes.

If she was in an election tomorrow she would win... Just like the last election she ran in.. Outside of BKK there are many who love her. Also in BKK there is strong support for her.

Sent from my c64

That's your intuitive feeling?

So you think her popularity has increased since she won the 2011 election with her brother's help? The large minority that voted for her brother's political party has now grown into a majority of the electorate supporting her you think?

I don't think so matey. You underestimate how many former supporters were totally pissed at the constant lying, thieving, ludicrous management and the very obvious attempts at completely whitewashing Thaksin and themselves.

But, that's my opinion, Which like yours, is based on intuition, wishful thinking and bias - not facts.

She was leader of the party which easily won the last general election in Thailand.That's the usual criterion for a politician's popularity.It also explains why an unelected military government and assorted toadies are so frightened of the Thai people making a choice in another general election.

Actually Yingluck was NOT the leader of the PTP and never has been.

Nor did she ever put herself forward as a constituency MP.

Nor did she receive a single vote from Thai voters, only from the PTP MPs who 100% elected her with no exceptions or abstentions.

She was however the #1 candidate for the party list MPs.

I know the reference is only Wikipedia but have a look here.

If your Thai reading skills are good enough (and mine are not) you could log onto the Official PTP site and check there if she was ever the leader of the PTP.

True enough but the fact remains the Thai people voted her party into office in the full knowledge she would be leader (and all that this implied including the influence of Thaksin).Thus she had a legitimacy completely lacking in the current government.No doubt as the good and "educate" people maintain, the Thai nation was mistaken in its choice.Just in case they repeat that mistake it was necessary to seize power by force and impose a constitution which will always ensure the "right" answer.

She was not the leader of the party---she was not even voted for by the Thai people. You have to understand --and read this---democratically elected as you put it-does not mean, you therefore can run the country undemocratically and break the law to boot. because of the grave situation --(PTP) elections were a definate no-no as everyone understands now----but a very few TVF members refuse to believe.

The naivety of people to believe political allegiances change so easily.

Thank you for inadvertently proving my point. Yes they are facts. And if you would like to go back to the heay days of when the PTP and shins were popular then I suggest time travel. Those results mean diddle sh*t now. This is 2015. Not once before anyone of those elections (that were held in the past) was there own supporter base threatened by the party they brought to power. Not one Rice Farmers Association President said "Our members will never vote for you again". Not one minister called the majority garbage. Brisbane Lions football club won the 2001, 02 and 03 grand final as well. They didn't win the 2004 grand final. Means diddly sh*t now how many they won before. I can imagine in 50 years when it is blatantly obvious the PTP are a spent force some on TVF will still say we won the 2001, 05, 07 and 11 elections so the majority 50 years on are still backing us! That is PTP logic right there and is blatantly undemocratic.

Of course the failed 2014 elections proved Newtons 3rd law. Just like the 2001,05, 07 and 11 elections were FACTS the failed 2014 election results that were tabulated proved some FACTS as well. But because those FACTS do not suit the PTP agenda that majority is disrespected. Because all the previous ones suited the PTP agenda that majority is respected. yingluck knowing that had it went ahead she would have lost which is why she didn't send any soldiers out in her capacity of Defense Minister too protect polling booths. The failed elections really worked in her favor and can keep them spouting on about support they simply don't have now.

2007 referendum. Did not suit the shin agenda. Majority disrespected.

Farmers families threatened with violence if they protested. All polls after this showed a huge drop in popularity of the PTP which did not suit their agenda. Majority disrespected.

All polls in the first 3 months the Junta came to power show over 95% support the Junta. (This is a no brainer. Who wouldn't support them they stopped terrorism in the capital without firing a single bullet). Does not suit PTP agenda. Majority disrespected.

All polls from 3 months to 12 the Junta came to power show 90% support. Does not suit PTP agenda. Majority disrespected.

All polls from 12 months to now the Junta came to power show support in the 80% range. Does not suit PTP agenda. Majority disrespected.

See a pattern forming?

Would you vote for a party who you wanted to protest against because of 6 failed promises and they threatened your family with violence. It ain't hard to know what you would do. Go and have a look at your kids playing in the backyard and give me your answer., In Thailand however some farangs simply must drink too much Beer Chaing to see that and it shows that the slide to radical fundamentalism is slow yet pronounced. Instead of backing the majority your backing a party the majority used to respect.

To say Yingluck was the Popular choice of the thai electorate proves you don't know anything about Thai Politics.....she wasn't elected by the Thai electorate.....suggest you read more about it before making silly statements

This claim that she was not elected pops up regularly., and the answer is always the same.

No one casting a vote for Pheu Thai in the 2011 election could have been in any doubt that if Pheu Thai won the election Yingluck Shinawatra would be the candidate for Prime Minister. She was a party list candidate. You may not like the party list systems, I have my reservations, but it was legal, constitutional and entirely above board.

Pheu Thai won the election, and as a result, entirely as expected by those who voted Pheu Thai, in the full knowledge that she was on their party list, and was their candidate for Prime Minister, Yingluck became Prime Minister. To claim that Yingluck wasn't elected by the Thai electorate is in itself rather a silly statement!

[Gunna]

I feel sorry for her. The whole system is loaded against her - corrupt to the core and I don't mean Yingluck.

60 odd million people in Thailand. Good percentage of those living on the bread line and below. Surely amongst those a few more deserving of sympathy than a woman who was handed untold wealth by her brother to act as figurehead for his various corrupt ventures and activities, and who is now having to answer for that, but with zero chance of ever actually having to take any sort of punishment, as she'll either do some sort of a deal with the powers that be, or simply flee to live in luxury somewhere else.

Get the facts straight. I get tired of the constant talk of her "untold wealth" by individuals who don't do their homework. Her estimated wealth was about 17 million USD when she entered office. When she stepped down from office her wealth had increased by about 1 million USD. Most of her assets are in stocks. Her son and husband have about 1 1/2 million USD in addition. Oh, I forgot the expensive watch she forgot to include in her assets. If you think that is untold wealth you are barking up the wrong tree. She also has millions in liabilities. Sure that is a good deal of money compared to the average Thai but it is NOT untold wealth. She is probably earning abut $300,000 to $400,000 per year off of her investments if she is lucky. Seems like many TV posters dislike her more for her wealth and connection to her brother than anything else. Read her bio sometime. She did not start at the top of her brothers companies but worked her way up. Sure she had the connections and surely was promoted based on the connections but she was not just handed a CEO position. Give her some credit. She is not as stupid as people seem to think. Let's face it, it's the wealth the bothers so many people here.

Do you really believe her untold wealth is all declared or even in her name.

[Gunna]

Get the facts straight. I get tired of the constant talk of her "untold wealth" by individuals who don't do their homework. Her estimated wealth was about 17 million USD when she entered office. When she stepped down from office her wealth had increased by about 1 million USD. Most of her assets are in stocks. Her son and husband have about 1 1/2 million USD in addition. Oh, I forgot the expensive watch she forgot to include in her assets. If you think that is untold wealth you are barking up the wrong tree. She also has millions in liabilities. Sure that is a good deal of money compared to the average Thai but it is NOT untold wealth. She is probably earning abut $300,000 to $400,000 per year off of her investments if she is lucky. Seems like many TV posters dislike her more for her wealth and connection to her brother than anything else. Read her bio sometime. She did not start at the top of her brothers companies but worked her way up. Sure she had the connections and surely was promoted based on the connections but she was not just handed a CEO position. Give her some credit. She is not as stupid as people seem to think. Let's face it, it's the wealth the bothers so many people here.

Do you really believe her untold wealth is all declared or even in her name.
