Thaksin in Singapore

[ginjag]

Well he is 66......so with any luck , around ten or so more years from now he wont matter anymore.

Don't hold your breath, the Chinese are very big on longevity potions. Lee Kwan Yew lived past 90.

A few years back T admitted that he was on chemotherapy, but he didn't say what it was for.

He would say anything to be in the limelight---it is inbuilt with him an obsession, he needs more money and power or he is crying. the man is a complete nutter and has proved it with his government management and public speeches - promises and barefaced lies. He and his followers are bad news.

And anyone else who treads the same path.

Please grow up and stop this sophomoric Thaksin bashing. Why are people so concerned and stopping Thais from "freely" traveling to wherever they wish? What dictatorial powers does this illegal coup have to stop citizens from any travel?

Also, why does EVERY article concerning Thaksin state "fugitive" Prime Minister? Gets very boring.

In answer to your question why does EVERY article concerning Thaksin state "fugitive" Prime Minister. only a small number of small circulation print media use that term. They do so because they are aligned with the group(s) which do not support democracy in Thailand. Multiple reputable media outlets, do not use the term in the manner that Nation Media does. Examples are AP, Reuters, BBC, Deutsche Weekly, Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Straits Times, Wall Street Journal.

You talk about democracy, it has been tried over years but vote buying rules it out---elected non democratic governing rules it out---army necessary intervention rules it out.

Everyone supports democracy if it can be operated but certain shin style governments have thrown it out the window, against the vows they made when forming a government----SICK. Now is the only and maybe the last time Thailand has a chance to get it sorted even if a military government is in place--I am for any -body that has the guts to tackle the abuse that has gone on with The treasury money over the years of mega corruption.

Ah but if we are to believe what our frothy mouthed brethren tell us, they are all bought by the great Satan himself!

Oi, less of that! I'm 66 and I intend to hang around being a nuisance for a lot longer than 10 years ...
