"Real democracy" means Thaksin's people can do whatever they want. But nobody else can, because that would be undemocratic. It's really quite simple. :p

 

 

p.s. At least somebody did well:

 

<< The Asean Summit's Gala Dinner in Pattaya was cancelled after Red Shirt protesters stormed into meeting Saturday. Lucky groups were soldiers, waiters and waitresses who were invited to eat the expensive and delicious food left untouched by leaders. >>

Jatuporn calls red-shirts to descend on Bangkok to bring down Govt

 

 

Jatuporn Promphan Sunday urged red-shirted protesters to rise up against the government and attack Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban as first sight.

 

He said there was no longer rule of law so the red-shirted people would attack the government.

 

He claimed that he had been arrested by the military to the Naresuan base in Prachuap Khiri Khan but red-shirted supporters in the base secured his release and sent him to the rally site at the Government House again.

 

Jatuporn urged red-shirted protesters to travel to Bangkok or seize provincial halls.
