FangFerang Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 The mind boggles. Reason says contradictions make no sense. The heart says that good triumphs over evil. The stomach says that the Golden Rule is in effect -- he who has the gold makes the rule. The eyes say "Blind me, please." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srikcir Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 "He also extended his gratitude to related officials and fishermen for their cooperation in solving the country’s issues of the EU concerns." A 230-million baht fund for fishermen who decided to stop work instead of complying is a great incentive. But it's not a solution and the gratitude is unearned. And when the fund runs out, it's likely the fishermen will simply ask for more funds - beats compliance. The Prayut government needs to stop subsidizing farmers and fishermen. Grants, subsidies and soft loans are only short-term bandaids and do nothing for a sustaining economy. It must focus on a national economic strategy that can grow industry wealth. As it is, the government is on the path of bankrupting the nation's treasury at a time that it's falling into an economic depression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Has anybody noticed, that when this man talks about the fishery issues, he never mentions the biggest issue, which is slavery? He always talks about tackling unlicensed boats, etc. But rarely is the issue of slavery mentioned. It is a huge issue, and one that goes to the heart of the complaints from the EU and the US. Justifiably so. But, it does not get addressed much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAG Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Anything the head of the current administration says about anything is fishy. As usual, he's floundering, It's always the same in this plaice, the sole reaction is to announce a new initiative. They can trawl for new ideas as much as they like, but no matter what they dredge up, the EU will still carp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
