    Yup!.

    I wouldn't dream of arguing with that.

    It is very difficult to argue with facts and truth, although mushrooms try.

    The courts?

    Gotta do a fair bit of work to get them to the courts...... And I haven't seen the Government of democracy, truth and justice start the process.

    It's pretty simple.

    DD is not going to jail or ban idiots like Calgary or Loosebowels, etc. because 'controversy encourages traffic'

    I am all for free speech and healthy debate but there is a point when idiotic replies to sensible points discourages active participation from new readers.

    That point can only be assessed by DD when he looks at the traffic stats for the site.

    but TD has been growing despite the idiot contributions so who knows what will happen?

    Prepare to read and see increasing information about next week Saturday's anniversary Rally by the UDD/Red Shirts at R'song.

    It is the anniversary of when the coupists lost all restraint in defending their coup, and killed over 90 taxpayers.

    It will be a significantly attended event. This region which doesn't include a major city, is sending 8 bus loads. This being the case in higher Red Shirt populated regions and urban centers, suggest a humongous event.

    An event the Bangkok centric, anti-Red Shirt propaganda media, will not even be able to ignore.

    Watch for PADites here and mushrooms elsewhere, arrogantly but nervously, heap abuse on these people.

    I would also be nervous if I was them. Will clearly demonstrate their minority electoral status.

    I hope the PM will deem it appropriate to reduce food prices and offer fuel vouchers for those attending, in appreciation of their efforts in attempting to re-establish her brother's power 2 years ago..

    No doubt those on TD would also appreciate a few pics of this eventful rally. I myself will be unable to attend as i much prefer the peacefulness and clean fresh air of the countryside rather than the hustle and bustle of the capital especially during an invasion of peasant/serfs.

    As the air temperatures are particularly high at this time of year I do hope for the sake of Bangkokians that matches/lighters are in short supply on ths occasion

    Most folk attending will be from Bk and surrounds actually. There will be a healthy contingent from the Provinces too, but don't forget the UDD has seperate rallies there also. Oh, of course- the Bk 'Press' apparently cannot afford bus tickets, so you don't get to hear about them.

    When comparing insight to Thai politics, and having a clear perspective of the Amart coupists you unbelievably sympathise with LW, maybe you have little or no credibility with which to be judgemental.

    What angers me even more is the facebook soap opera bitch and others who cheered the guy's demise. Someone needs to pull her fucking hair - and give her a 'real life' bitch slap.

    You and the rest of your MAD PAD yellow nutters have been accusing the good man of financing the birth of the democracy movement, so what do you think nutter

    From the hysterics it's pretty obvious none here know anything about anything particularly pro democratic about the UDD as an organisation, what's happens with the reds once/if the UDD funding is cut is very uncertain.

    However all of you are just sooo emotional about the red shirt grass roots. They are not kids, they are grown men and women.

    You might like to keep it in mind while you defend every aspect of a very flawed organisation that claims to represent them.

    Thaksin: Fugitive Thai PM calls for amnesty

    Fugitive Thai PM calls for amnesty

    July 17 2012 at 04:14pm


    REUTERS

    Thailand's former premier Thaksin Shinawatra.

    Thailand - Thailand's fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra Tuesday called for a highly-controversial amnesty, saying it is a “key to reconciliation” and long overdue.

    “Everyone says the same thing, that reconciliation must include amnesty,” he told a panel discussion at the Strategic Review Forum in Jakarta. “It's long overdue for Thailand to bring about reconciliation.

    “If you learn how to forgive, that's the only key, it's the key to reconciliation. I'd like to urge all parties in Thailand to forgive.”

    Thailand's government in June said it was postponing voting in parliament on controversial “reconciliation” proposals that have stoked political tensions in the divided kingdom.

    The bills are strongly opposed by opposition MPs who fear they will be used to grant an amnesty to Thaksin, ousted by royalist generals in a 2006 coup.

    Thaksin, a former telecoms tycoon who lives in Dubai to avoid a jail term for corruption, is loved by many rural and poor Thais for his populist policies while in power, but hated by the elite who see him as a threat to the monarchy.

    Thaksin's sister Yingluck Shinawatra is now prime minister following a landslide election win by her brother's party last year.

    One of the draft laws, which aims to amend the kingdom's constitution, has angered royalists who see it as an attempt to weaken the monarchy.

    Thailand's Constitutional Court on Friday found complaints against plans by Yingluck's party to amend the constitution -- drawn up under the military junta that deposed Thaksin -- were unfounded.

    Thaksin denied his desire to return to Thailand was linked to the court ruling.

    “I don't think the Constitutional Court has anything to do with (whether) I'm going back or not,” he said.

    “We'd like to see the constitution amended in a democratic way.”

    Thousands of royalist “Yellow Shirt” protesters blockaded parliament in May to prevent the house from discussing the reconciliation plans.

    In 2010 mass protests by Thaksin's “Red Shirt” supporters against the previous government descended into the kingdom's worst civil violence in decades, with more than 90 people killed in a military crackdown. - AFP
    "Slavery is the daughter of darkness; an ignorant people is the blind instrument of its own destruction; ambition and intrigue take advantage of the credulity and inexperience of men who have no political, economic or civil knowledge. They mistake pure illusion for reality, license for freedom, treason for patriotism, vengeance for justice."-Simón Bolívar

    Either he's totally out of touch, or he's decided that PTP can screw over the red shirts by forcing through reconciliation and then buying them off with other promises.

    He's barking mad, the only road to reconcilliation is through his demise.

    Maybe a shoulder wound would bring him to his senses

    No, anyone with a brain knows that reconciliation can only happen when people accept responsibility and acknowledge mistakes/failures....and amnesty is continuing the the cycle of impunity which got this country in the mess it is in.

    “If you learn how to forgive, that's the only key, it's the key to reconciliation. I'd like to urge all parties in Thailand to forgive.”

    So, no one will accept responsibility? No one will have to face justice...once again he sh*ts all over those who died and will let off anyone who did any wrong doing....just so long as he can get what he wants.......

    And people believe Pheu Thai and the stuff they come out...really...!

    I bet he'll be saying he was misquoted again soon, like last time. Oh, damn, this time it's AFP....

    What am I missing? He wants to go home and not get jailed. I say give him the amnesty. Then double tap the fucker. He's been more divisive for Thailand than anyone I've ever know in my lifetime. And he's a fucking thief.

    That old canard again- Thaksin is and was never a threat to the Monarchy, and they well know it.
    Thaksin is a threat to Them because 1- he is popular with the people of Thailand and 2- they therefore had to share their corruption monies and other trappings with him and his cronies.
