gobbledonk Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Personally, Shinawatra or no Shinawatra clan, I get the feeling that the rural poor now feel they need to take action every time the elites look like imposing the old order, and the elites will never be happy with PT or similar party in power, regardless of how many votes they get. That's a simplistic view from outside the country, but I cant see how this can all be resolved to the point where Thai people are happy to go about their business. We only see the protests on telly, so I have no idea what the 'average' Thai thinks of the whole situation. Would there still be a viable red shirt movement if they didnt have Takky's financial muscle behind them ? Fire away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 The evil rural elite farmers are starting to join in the PDRC protests, simply because the government still won't pay them for their crops. What does that tell you about Takky's financial muscle and his support? I saw three students wearing protest shirts today. Nothing offensive, no anti-Yingluck or pro-Suthep drawings, just subtle shirts. One girl had a white blouse with the national colours on the sleeves and collar, sort of a quiet statement. The others wore olive green t-shirts with the Thai number 9 on the front and (in Thai) "We fight for our country" on the back. They are for sale at the protest sites. If the students are involved enough to openly wear them to class, it tells you how deep the feeling goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pom Michael Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Great shirts! Look very nice on the girls too. Even my family (red shirts) bought those shirts because they liked them so much. THB 130 at Asoke station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dean Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 They could move the capital from Bangkok to Chaing Mai. Yingluck and Taskin are rock stars up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
