Mentors Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 [color:red]UDD plans million-strong protest[/color] The United front for Democracy against Dictatorship expects one million red-shirts will turn out for a mass anti-government demonstration to bring down the government, planned from Nov 29 to Dec 3, UDD core leader Jatuporn Promphan said on Tuesday. “It will be a five-day gathering of at least one million red-shirts and we will make the war against the government as short as possible. The red-shirts will not lay siege to Government House or other state offices,'' said MrJatuporn. UDD leaders were not worried about the strong possibility the government will again invoke the Internal Security Act to deal with the protesters, he said. “If one million red-shirts turn out as expected, we will be able to topple the government. But if we cannot make it, we will return to the streets again after Dec 5, His Majesty the King’s 82nd birthday,†the UDD leader said. He believed the UDD could achieve its objective to topple the government before the end of the year because there were problems of corruption in several ministries and prices of agricultural products were low. The government had only one option left  dissolve the House and call elections. ''This time, either UDD or the government must go'', he said. ''The government should not be allowed to celebrate the New Year festival.†http://www.bangkokpost.com/breakingnews/160271/udd-expects-one-million-red-shirts-to-join-rally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 "Don't go out tonight, it's bound to take your life. There's a bad moon on the rise." Ya see, it's easy to understand the Red Shirts' thinking. Abhisit's popularity is at it's highest now, so it's time to strike while the iron is hot!

zzzz Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I got into LOS at the wrong time last year during the Yellow shirt takeover of the airport. It looks like same same this year -- albeit Red shirts this time. As long as they stay away from the tourist areas.... Whatever happened to that election that Abhisit promised last year?

Khun_Kong Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Saw some new color shirts and hats today: lime green with yellow borders. Supposed to represent the non-militant political wing of the yellows. More shirt colors than taxi colors these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian2 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Wear a pink shirt, the academics in the counter-protesters will think you're a khatoey and fall in love with you, promptly issuing a special entry visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
