Poor old Thaksin, he was never the most subtle of politicians.

"Why can't we all just get along and let me come back. Principles are all fine and dandy and yes I'd love to have justice for all but if that means I've got to stay here with a bunch of camel jocks for another 5 years then you're missing the point."

Honestly, just how ungrateful can that red rabble be? He bought the last election for them, he gave new loans to his taxi driver constituency, he's given their sprogs free ipads to play with, they can buy cheap crap food products in the new government stores. What more do they need, for Chrissakes?

Anyone might think he wasn't the prime minister.
