Thread: Coup 2014 !!!! : Military 'takes control' in Thailand

Notice how PADite/dem Kasit has been doing the international media rounds over the last few days (Al Jazeera, BBC are 2 that I've seen) on behalf of the army - now saying that PT are like the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt - well coordinated by the total PAD team...

BBC World news just announced a curfew nationwide from 10pm to 5am.

No problem for me. If I'm not in bed by 10 o'clock, I go home anyway.

Luangpu Buddha Isara declares victory, orders supporters to disperse from Chaeng Wattana
May 22, 2014

Luangpu Buddha Isara declared victory after the military seized power and ordered his supporters at the Chang Wattana rally site to go home.

Luangpu announced the victory at 5 pm. He said the demonstrators would start packing belongings to return home after 6 pm.

The monk said he would remain behind to oversee the dispersing that could take about two days before he would return to his temple.

The Thai army is the ultimate will of the Thai people. The last bastion of defence.

Linked strongly to the leadership of this country for the past 700 odd years.

Fuck the politicians and the bent police force.

That's 100% clear, but the PADite backers won't be pleased that he opened his mouth...

That goes for many Thais as well, all my mrs and her mates care about is the price of noodles and Robinson having an 80% off sale this week, quite depressing really.

Pure fascism. At least you've given all pretense of being a human being so I suppose you should at least be congratulated on your honesty.

Kasit has always been a warped soul since way back. He's a perfect example why the yellows are slime.

Just a clip.

There's not much any of us can do but British citizens who want to put what little pressure they can on their government can contact Hugo Swire MP (the Minster of State responsible for SE Asia) at hugo.swire.mp@parliament.uk or at Contact Form | Hugo Swire
