boo hoo, the pm had a meeting, big deal, I wonder if abhisit ever did the same. Like I said there are more important things to worry about than this and by focusing on this (even after it has been decided she did no wrong) is pretty pointless and detracting from the bigger issues, don't you agree?

No lets focus on the bigger issue, the deaths of over 90 people either at the hands of the army, the black shirts, or a mixture of both, and the subsequent stalling by the then pm and his deputy, they either ordered it of had no control over the country at the time, and if they didn't order it then they should tell us who did order it, or admit they were not in control.

Now lets look at the 2 things, the current pm had a meeting in a hotel in a public room, people (on here) assumed it was some sort of sexual liason, maybe their minds are too small to understand people of the opposite sex can meet and it be platonic, and the ex pm and his deputy were in charge (or were they) of the country when civil unrest led to the deaths of over 90 people, mainly civilians, many unarmed, some not even protestors, and a few soldiers.

Which is the bigger issue? I know to you the hotel meeting is the bigger issue as the dead red shirts deserved it, right?

Would someone, anyone, tell me what the above has to do with the topic?  Nothing of course.  It is a typical Thai Visa bash Yingluck post.  No rhyme no reason.

The more Yingluck mixes up the names of places or the positions of global leaders, the higher her rating jumps.

The lady is brilliant.  And rich.  And is the PM of Thailand.  What the heck are you?

bash when needed - the point is beyond most of the red-haters on this forum.
After a 6 day assault by the military with a final day/night of killings, Hellodolly wants the red shirts to clean up the streets of BKK - that is f*ckin insane.

But par for the course here on TVF.

I no longer expect any intelligent debate from the usual suspects. Just more hyperbole, misdirection, misinformation, venom and hatred as I have read here for the last 2 years.

You guys make me sick.

In one very importantant way it was nothing like a coup attempt as the red shirts would not have been in a position to provide themselves with an amnesty.

Interesting that you regard the first way of getting a party removed from office is through the law courts - is that a particular mind set of those who support the "democrat" party - imho it is as demonstrated by the actions following the coup, first military coup, then consolidate with a judicial coup.

Only as a last resort should you consider an election...................

I have some sympathy with your view here.The problem however was that the unelected elites would not accept the wishes of the Thai people expressed at the ballot box, hence the military coup, army meddling in politics, judicial intervention (making fair use of the law and courts unworkable) etc etc.Therefore it was not feasible simply to buckle down to peaceful campaigning and work on winning the next election.Cynically one might argue the entrenched unelected elites and their nervous middle class hangers on needed a bit of a shock to discourage further interference in the democratic process.The fire next time etc.

A little under 4 hours and we have a demonstration of Godwin's Law.  Congratulations.

I must say I admire Phiphidon, I have given up trying to debate with the anti Thaksin brigade, I think many of their comments would be treated as flaming on other forums. Personal and nasty. Many of them seem to work as a team, taking it in turns to jump on anyone with a different viewpoint. These people seem to think that the sun shines out of Abhisit's anal orifice, yet he achieved nothing during his time in office. Yingluck had done many stupid things, like these tablets, rice pledging, minimum wage, but she is trying and seems willing to admit her mistakes. As to her brother, here in England there is not a ripple, no mention of him in the media, in fact the only people who seem excited about his visit here are his enemies on Thaivisa.

Tricky dilemma for the usual suspects.Until recently they were maintaining the governments of the world (and Interpol) were co-operating to hunt the fugitive Thaksin down, and that he was restricted to shady business trips to various African hell holes.No civilised country would receive him.It was always of course complete nonsense, and in practice Thaksin travelled where he liked.The barmy component of the Thaksin haters (Kasit being the best example) was never able to demonstrate the charges against Thaksin weren't politically motivated, and the Wikileaks disclosures have confirmed that - not suggestiong of course there are not genuine abuses to be dealt with.It doesn't however surprise me the loony tunes element is now suggesting the British Government has been compromised by Thaksin's money.

So Thailand is now officially the only country in the world to give any weight to the trumped up, politically motivated charges against the deposed premier.

I suppose it saves you the bother of doing it.

I thought I'd noticed you "liking" a lot of moderator posts for a while now..........

To be fair both buchholz and dolly have both pressed the like button on my posts but only in their haste to add some diatribe or other - you'll be glad to know  they soon retracted so no stain on their character.

KireB, critical of my drivel you may be but that is not the reason I ignore you. It's because of the posts you write. Have you ever considered that there may be more than the one lane, the lane that you have self proclaimed as being right, by might?

No you haven't and nor will you, that's why I ignore you.

I keep on asking this and never get a straight answer. Are the members of the Judiciary System adjudicating now the same as the ones doing so in the Abhisit years? Did you and your "likees" consider the judiciary at that time to be the epitome of judicial standards at the time? I refer to the overturning of the democrat dissolution cases, the support shown for them during the "videotape scandal", the jailing of the Red Shirts, their upholding of Article 112 and the computer crimes act.

And yet with the change of government, they have all been won over to do the bidding of the government and you cannot trust them to conduct a retrial without the Junta breathing down their necks? Curious. Has not one of Thaksins nieces just been found guilty and banned from politics for false declaration of assets, in this case a debt?

PANZERS MARSCH!!!!

Your all wrong.

I took him for a Shave, Sh.., Shower and a Haircut this morning to see if I could improve his chances and get him a fair  Trial on here .   He also insisted on one of those Soapy's and mentioned something about a Last supper,  but I could be mistaken about the supper as he's pretty incoherent due to only speaking  a Dialect of Norse only spoken in the Lofoten Islands.  
he brushes up quite Well,   looks proper dapper now like the rest of the Members of the CR forum.   Wouldn't look out of place at the expats meeting or down Meridian for Brunch. Granted , his hair is still greasy but at least he has Hair.  I feel much better for giving him a better chance even if its a slim one.   It just seemed like the decent thing to do

I am in Chiang Mai the crazy songkram city and I haven't met a Thai who doesn't enjoy it including the ones who donot throw water. I rode from Tak to Chiang Mai on Sat. as approached people with water I would wave them off and 100 percent went along with my wave off, some would splash a small amt at me as I rode past which was fine. It only got crazy in Serapi and there was no need to even try waveing them off just too many people.

Songkram is a great holiday as usual we have the complainers who complain about all things Thai.
