Flashermac Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 An interesting aside... anyone agree with my suspicion that the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Suthep Thaugsuban is actually running the country at the moment? My wife agrees with you.... I'm not sure if anyone is running the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drogon Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Looked at 10 major EU newspapers this morning... Thailand is on the first page What a beautiful, lovely and peaceful country LOS = Land Of Street fighting ??? Anyway, let's smile and see the positive side. Missus (yes her again) is currently at Central Bangna, shopping with some friends. Will then eat Fuji with said friends, she complains it is a bit too hot today but otherwise a quiet day. good thing, less shoppers so less crowded and thanks to the riots she didn't receive water today yet....

ThaiHome Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 CNN just had thaksin on. All he wanted to do was rant on about "real democracy" but avoided answering any questions about why current gov was illeagal or his own legal issues. When asked if he would go back to lead his "revolution" even if it maeant going to jail, he just stuttered a bit. The CNN interviewer seemed to have a good idea of the issues and asked a number of good questions. TH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faustian Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 My question for him would've been... Are you totally full of shit? Or; Why are you such a lying fucking asshole, who is seemingly happy to see your country destroyed? Maybe not appropriate for CNN though...

Mekong Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 BBC interview was a lot better than CNN one, at least the reporter made him squirm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somchai888 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 my university educated wife This is hilarious. A thread about revolution on the streets, and then the old "my university-educated wife" trope drops in, as on every thread on every Thailand forum. Thank you for the laugh. And of course nothing against you or your wife. As for who is and isn't a Royalist, too bad we can't talk about that on this forum. If you know of a convenient other forum, I'd be happy to go there. (I'm not in Thailand right now, so I'm limited only by the online venue.) What Thaksin has managed to do is convince many poor upcountry folks that those who "have" are somehow responsible for their poverty. They expect some sort of socialist programme, which the multi-billionaire Thaksin and his cronies is sure as hell not going to give them. You don't think that those at the top of Thai society willfully and consciously hold down those on bottom? I just can't comprehend how someone who has ever been to Bangkok can fail to see this startlingly obvious social fact. (But then, I also can't comprehend how those on top in Bangkok don't realize that if you kick a dog over and over for a very long time, it will one day bite you, and hard.) As for "socialist programme," Thaksin did a lot of very good things for the rural poor. Whether he's a billionaire, whether he did these things to advance his own interests, etc, etc, is completely immaterial to a mass of people who saw their material existences rapidly improve (and then deteriorate). Maybe of more relevance to this forum: if the Red Shirts get their way, there may be more options for village girls than picking rice and sucking fat farang cocks. Quick, to the barricades!

.. Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Hmmmm. Remind me, just what did Thaksin do for the poor again? Cheers, SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
