Neo Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 PPP is still Thaksin's party with the objective to bring Thaksin back to power Sounds like speculation and I think it is wrong. First, PPP is not Thaksin's party but rather remnants of the TRT that has evolved without Thaksin and Thaksin holds no rank in the PPP. What we can learn from this event is: (1) Thaksin is guilty of some serious stuff and he knows it (2) Thaksin has no control over the courts and will be nailed to the wall just like his wife and (3) most importantly the PPP/Samak apparently have no intention of pardoning Thaksin despite having the power to do so. That last part seems to put a damper on your theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passingthru69 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Was just reading the Bangkok Post. Guess who missed their flight Seems ol square face and his wife got on a plane to London instead of Bangkok.. They will say we thought this was the flight back. When we realized our mistake we were in London And the next flights back are all booked up.. See you when we see you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Thaksin initially bankrolled PPP and the upcounty proles voted for PPP with the understanding that it was his party. The same folks in my neighbourhood who displayed the TRT posters on their homes and carts also displayed the PPP posters when the election came. However, Samak likes being PM and Mr T should have known that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Hippie Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Urgent: Thaksin, Pojaman reach England: aide BANGKOK: --Wichit Plungsrikul, a legal advisor of the People Power Party, confirmed Monday that former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his wife, Khunying Pojaman, had reached England Sunday night. Wichit said Thaksin's lawyers were meeting to draft a statement to give to the Supreme Court's Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions. The couple were supposed to attend the first hearing on the trial of the Ratchadapisek land purchase Monday morning. Wichit said the statement would be submitted to the court in the afternoon. -- The Nation 2008-08-11 BANGKOK: -- People Power Party MP Pracha Prasopdee said Monday that former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra made a right decision not to return to Thailand. Pracha said Thaksin respected the judicial system but he definitely had certain reasons to decide against returning to the country. "He has his rights, freedom and honour to protect. We should wait for him to explain his reasons," Pracha said. -- The Nation 2008-08-11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faustian Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 My favourite bit... "He has his rights, freedom and honour to protect. We should wait for him to explain his reasons," Pracha said. Just how deluded are these people? He did a runner, his wife is a convicted felon.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faustian Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I think the whole thing is hilarious....and obviously predictable. Whilst it scuppers his political ambitions in the short term, I'm sure Mr T will be back in the future. You can't keep a good man down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
