55Jay Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Yet they can suspend democracy and, depending on traffic, take over the entire country in 6 hours, No Problemo! Seems they are using civil action tactics, made easier with a puppet media. Ping it out there. Evaluate public attitude. Identify opposition. Wash, rinse, repeat to condition the masses, and negate opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawker9000 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Like this government hasnt got many more important issues to deal with in which they are a total failure but focus their time on this farce. Soooo lame. Yeah, like this is monopolizing the entire government's resources and everyone's attention, is keeping it from doing absolutely anything else, and is totally paralyzing the government. Get real. If you want to see the man keep his rank, just man up and say so - instead of mindlessly parroting this rubbish about "the many more important issues to deal with"...

He forgets that this IS the whole point behind this "government", everything else is the distraction. They mean to rid the country of Thaksin. Their metric for success is to have July 26 pass without ANYONE wishing him happy birthday. That will be Mission Accomplished and elections won't be far off.

Brer Fox Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 What is Thaksin's official police title now? Presumably after he is cashiered in absentia he will become Constable Thaksin Shinawatra or is he driven from the police force completely. Pity they are denied the pleasure of ripping off his epaulettes, badges and insignias, breaking his sword and knocking his cap off his head. Bet there are plenty around who would pay good moneyto see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silent Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 This is even an issue? Why not posthumously strip him of rank then, unless of course he's luckier than the 24 officers transferred for dereliction, and been suspended with pay.

Lite Beer Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I alone will deal with Thaksin rank issue, says PMThe Nation BANGKOK: -- Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha said he has received a recommendation from the national police to strip ousted and fugitive former premier Thaksin Shinawatra of his police rank - but has yet to sign it.Prayut said Tuesday at Government House that he alone would decide on whether to sign and act in accordance with the recommendation and will hold no further discussion on the matter with the Cabinet."If I sign it, the proposal will then be submitted to His Majesty the King for Royal endorsement," the premier explained.In a related development, a retired police office has filed a petition to the Administrative Court claiming that the Police Act, issued in 2014, used to pursue the stripping of Thaksin's police rank was unjustly used.Pol Colonel Banjob Sudjai, president of the Retired Police Club, was accompanied by his lawyer to file the petition yesterday. Banjob added that according to the Police Act, the national police chief had no authority to issue a regulation regarding the stripping of police rank from an officer no longer serving the police force.

Do YOU think it is important that a wanted fugitive who left the country years ago still holding a rank in what is probably one of the most corrupt institutions in the world keeps or loses his rank?? Don't know if you noticed but there have been one or two quite important things going on in this country, trafficking, airports, dead slaves, fishing, bombs, corruption etc etc... Personally I really don't care one way or another but the way the present Junta have been getting this back into the news at every opportunity makes me think that they are completely and utterly paranoid You have to ask yourself why the paranoia? why the fear? don't they sleep easy knowing 97% of the population are on their side...

ratcatcher Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 "Royal Thai Police says removal of Thaksin's police rank underway" Untrue! What is underway is a more refined deliberation "....regarding the possibility of revoking the police rank of Mr. Thaksin." It might be possible, but then it might not. "...at this point in the deliberation process and that additional time is required." Yes, and more waffling and buck-passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROFL. 95% of the level of effort involved was the dredging for tactics to forestall the stripping of rank. Never in the history of the world has so much energy gone into mere foot-dragging. Hardly worth mentioning the minimal effort involved in actually DOING it! No paranoia. No fear. Certainly no 97%! Just a matter of having to deal with the nattering naysayers and nabobs. These twits love to go on about how obsessed some people are with seeing justice through to the end, and don't realize how they paint themselves as addicted cultists in the process.

Toscano Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Irrespective of the law or its failure to adapt , the PM will deal with Thaksin rank issue . Surely the less said about Thaksin the better , the more you try to debase him , the more he will become a martyr and hero in the eyes of many .
