He did bring in change to help the poor, as well as many new contributions to the economy. ..." "...Thaksin was a good change for Thai politics...." Well he successfully divided all Thai into two groups who were quickly taught to hate each other, plus quickly established his own ruthless gang of thugs, plus bought power in the parliament by employing a gang of thieves who were paid a personal not small salary by the paymaster and well as receiving a state parliament salary but none of them, over many years ever made a speech, none of them ever tabled even one suggestion for new / improved policies or laws, and they all voted (said yes sir) as ordered by their boss. Nice changes indeed - all making the young folks of Thailand totally confused about what democracy means and what is looks like. "...He did bring in change to help the poor, ..." Not true, how many poor farmers now enjoy a good quality of life / are typical middle income families? Answer - very very small numbers - the families who had privileged access to rice milling, transport, etc. "...many new contributions to the economy. ..." Perhaps you mean things like ordering Thai banks to loan billions to the Myanmar state so that Myanmar had money to buy the paymasters products! Totally immoral and unethical, but he had no hesitation to do it. Thaksin was a good change in Thai politics for himself. come on ...... your not that naive are you ..... now the sister is following in his footsteps.

bkkgooner Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) The maximum sentence Yinguluck could have gotten was 10 years, the fact that she fled that says a lot about how much she cares about her movement. I don't think everyone in this thread is fully aware of the amount of money that was lost by this scheme and the obscene amount of greed and corruption that was going on around it. This country is in an utter state when it comes to politicians and the nasty little elite that seems to have everything and as much as they want to fool you, the Shinawatras are right in amongst that little circle.

Should have also been maximum of 10 years for the fella presently starting his 42 year sentence.... Are you completely unable to see that the whole 'justice' system is bought and paid for by the little general and his merry band and is totally rotten to the core...

There are quite a few other good reasons why it wouldn't work, eg. higher price will encourage other suppliers into the market, farmers elsewhere will grow more or switch to rice. That there are so many suppliers made this inevitable other foods are available, and suppliers may drop prices to encourage consumers to change many consumers are poor, with price increase they will buy less (you know, STARVE) But you knew all that, right.
