Yingluck questions reconciliation, justice of decision to seize her assets before court ruling

[mtls2005]

I love the smell of reconciliation in the morning. It smells like Victory.

 

It is amazing what the "judicial system" can do, in a short amount of time, when trying the "wrong bad people". It's almost like they have two different sets of "laws".

 

But then who doesn't love a "rule by law" country.

 

What's the point of staging a coup, giving yourself amnesty and granting yourself absolute power, if you're not going grind your political opponents to dust?

Yes, it was the Supreme Court. You know, the one which convicted Thaksin several times, seized some assets, etc....  

Out of around  USD 2.3 billion frozen, around 1b was returned.

Like her or not her government was more accepting of foreigners than the junta. As a foreigner my interests come first. since the junta took power the anti-foreigner sentiment has only gone up. Truth is the thaksin party is more accepting of foreigners than other yellow shirts for example

 

I don't thinks that's quite right. Didn't Thaksin once stop foreigners earning interest on their bank accounts? Both not particularly friendly to foreigners.

 

Unless of course you care to provide examples?

The paymaster wasn't nice to foreigners:

 

- The farang business partner he robbed...

 

- The farang reporter who asked him an awkward question, the paymaster responded by calling the reporter 'idiot scum' and the reporter was deported the next day.
