waerth Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Red dictatorship http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/red-shirt-followers-force-cancellation-concert-nonthaburi/ A concert featuring artist Pongpat Watchabanchong scheduled to be staged at the Rong Beer Holland Thursday night was abruptly cancelled following a protest by red-shirt followers. About 100 followers of the Nonthaburi-based People’s Radio for Democracy red-shirt group rallied in front of Rong Beer Holland restaurant on Ratchapruek road in Pakkred district to protest against the planned concert. The protesters charged that Pongpat was not politically neutral and demanded the management to cancel the concert and to remove a poster publicising the concert which was put up in front of the premise. Mr Sompong Boonpeng, the restaurant manager, held talk with the leaders of the protesting group and submitted to their demands by cancelling the concert and removing the poster.

khunsanuk Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hi, "that Pongpat was not politically neutral" So fucking what? Are they saying that anyone who is not politically neutral is not allowed to work? Or does it only apply to artists? Or more specifically artists who don't support the red-shirts? Sanuk!

Flashermac Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 It's all right to not be political neutral, as long as you are on their side. Not so long ago, a female singer was beaten up by the Rak Chiang Mai 51 thugs because she had dared to sing on the protest stage in Bangkok. They told he she was no longer welcome in her home town. This is what "true democracy" means to red shirts ... our way or not at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waerth Posted March 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Unfortunately historically these kind of people have a habit of winning and imposing their will on others. For my feeling Thailand has already entered a state of civil war. With tit for tat from both sides and more and more attacks occuring. I wonder what will happen after monday if/when the NACC decides to have Yingluck prosecuted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 The radical reds don't seem to realise they will not be fighting the whistle blowers. The Thai Army special forces would make short work of them, if it came down to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
