    I would be very concerned at the thai craftsmanship...

    For thais... the words

    Craftsman -- ship

    Dont go well together

    Tend to agree,  As a quality manger in fabrication i would have to say Thai skill are very poor in the western world would be unacceptable to western standards but to Thai standards acceptable ( Thais don't have standards, as long as it hold together is their standard )  Quality of safety and workmanship is very poor, no pride in the workmanship, if they have all theses good skill why are they not building ship in there own docks ???

    The MPs can join other parties, usually only the executives are banned. 

    This time though the court might ban all 44 MPs of MF who proposed the motion to reform 112.

    I'm sure MF have a party for their MPs to go to 

    If Bhumjaithai are dissolved, most would go back to their old home, Pheu Thai 

    Thought the Pheu Thai party was under investigation for accepting money from crooks  or did that go away

    It must be me, I'm still none the wiser.

    If real democracy exists nowhere on this planet...but it does in many places then surely those places are not of this planet ?   I replied to the post ,the post is in quotation marks.   My post claims that it does exist on this planet.

    There is not 100% real democracy  on this planet. but a % of Democracy does exist

    Glad you understand about pol pot. 

     

    still trying to be right? 

     

    Please provide a link to where Thaskin tells the police to go out and kill people. 

    I recalling reading about a watch list, which I'm sure in reality could be the same as a kill list, but again never read or heard that Thaksin told the police to kill people.  He did use words like enemies referring to drug dealers.  

     

    and to make it clear,  I'm not defending Thaksin or his actions, this is about you claiming he told the police to kill people, which I dont believe ever happened. I dont recall ever reading any comments like that in the paper nor heard anything on the radio or TV at the time.  

     

     

     

      

    Go read the many articles about the war on drugs  Thaskin made the policy  "Those who devised the policy are primarily responsible for the deaths,"

     The whole point is he should be accountable for the killings but he has not

    Another more recent tragic event Thaksin's supporters will want to mention, namely the deaths surrounding the events of April-May, 2010. But there is a big difference between those events and Thaksin's earlier rampages.

    Abhisit Vejjajiva and Suthep Thaugsuban, then prime minister and deputy prime minister respectively, have been charged with murder

    They have acknowledged these charges, indicated their willingness to stand trial and accept the court's verdict, whatever that may be.
    This is called "integrity", in the highest order, for accepting responsibility for one's actions.
    Will the same ever be said about Thaksin? Until we deconstruct this culture of impunity, Thailand's political development will remain trapped in the shadows of

    despair.

     

    as far as i am concerned this is the end of discussion

    I understand completely what happened I was hearing about daily. 

    Are you agreeing with mileandow that Thaksin was as bad as pol pot??? 

     

    Read what I posted. I didn't say Thaskin was good or that I even liked him.

    My statement was about his comparison of pol pot and Thaiskin which it's not even close to being the same. 

     

    Maybe you guys need to read some history on pol pot  1.5 -2 million people killed.

    Just pointing out a incorrect statement u made i quote ( I'm no fan of Thaksin as he started the stricter visa/overstay rules, but Thaksin didn't tell the police to go out and kill people)  the answer is YES he did  and as for the comparison Thaskin to pol pot  I agree Pol pot killed millions, but Even killing people, you are a mass murder and that is what Thaskin is plane and simple

    "Lawyers have suggested that Thaksin's drug war might amount to a crime against humanity under Article Seven of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court [ICC], set up in 1992."

    Just Googled it! :- 

    "Before asking why a law exists, you should have asked if such a law exists. Lèse-majesté refers to defaming the Head of State - whether or not they are a Monarch. And guess what, no such law exists in the UK. We're free to say whatever we want against the King, and no one can stop us.Sep 9, 2566 BE"

    think u need to make sure ur google is working.   The Treason Felony Act of 1848 makes it an offence to advocate for the abolition of the monarchy. Such advocation is punishable by up to life imprisonment under the Act. Though still in the statute book, the law is no longer enforced.

     

    (no such law exists in the UK)  such law still on the books  u need to fact check before posting

    you're really trying to compare pol pot to Thaiskin??  do you even understand what pol pot did?? 25% of the population was killed

     

     I'm no fan of Thaksin as he started the stricter visa/overstay rules, but Thaksin didn't tell the police to go out and kill people.  That happened for various reasons, mainly being the typical shootouts between drug dealers and the police.  Others being the BIB protecting their own interests, but the police said it was self defense which all know was BS...

    Think you need to read Thai history on Thaskin  and Yes he did tell the police to go out and kill people he had kill lists made up. and it was not all drug dealers

    you advocating reading about what happened to find out the truth tells me all I need to know about where you get your facts from. Did nobody ever tell you not to believe everything you read? 

     

    tells me what a stupid comment that is !!! you need to grow up, also tells me you are afraid of the truth and Thailand should be ashamed

    is this going to be the next drum to beat?The red bull drum has been worn out so let's try this one? Do you even know who the people were who were "murdered" & why they were "murdered"? Let alone who carried the murders out, where, how and who gave the order for it to be done? No. You just spout bar room BS and drivel you've read somewhere that was scribed by a censored media anyway. 

    What do you care anyway about what happened? Seriously, what has it got to do with you? 

    you need to read thai history

     i care about human rights violation as should everyone,  go put your head in the sand

    so what's the difference between hosting a reception for 'dignitaries' or just throwing staff party for those serving in the parliament house from taxpayer's money

     

    in this case he ended up paying out of his own pocket, but it did raise awareness of the budget that's been there and used for various 'reception' in the past and went unreported 

    because it was not authorised,  goverment are supposed to have accountablity for taxpayers money or do you not care

    The UN? More corrupt than Thailand ever was or will be. It's like having a dog and barking yourself - The UN needs bringing to book about it's finances and where all the money actually goes.

    Using them for credence? Not the best idea you've ever had. 

    Who cares if the UN is corrupt or not the POINT is "Thailand said that every unnatural death would be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the law.6 To date, none of the perpetrators of arbitrary killings have been brought to justice."

    Sorry but if you think providing a barbecue to thank staff for doing thankless work is corruption your moral compass is broken beyond repair. Stop and think or maybe you think it's currupt when a company pays bonuses every year or holds Christmas parties? Just shaking my head in disbelief...

    if he paid for it out of his own money no problem, but he used taxpayers money,  That is coruption  think you should get your moral compass fixed and look up the meaning of coruption.

    Companys are not part of the goverment and are not funded by the taxpayer they can do what they want with there money BUT the goverment is not, it is funded by the taxpayer are are accountable for this money,  and paying for a barbecue is not part of it

    Thaskin is just scum of the first order, He is making Thailand a country that has NO integrity and does not care about human rights Putins side kick

    They were likely considered to be dogs and were going to squeal to the pigs... and got taken out by drug gangs and drug bosses.

    Once again. nothing to do with Thaksin or the elected government at the time.

    the government is reportedly encouraging the police to sidestep judicial procedures, leading to the summary execution of alleged offenders. It is also reported that the police have planted drugs and then detained or killed alleged 'suspects'.

    The actions that the police forces have been taking in Thailand are in direct violation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), to which Thailand is a party,

    Encouragement for extra-judicial killings has been given at the highest level with law enforcement officers under heavy pressure to produce results or lose their jobs,' Amnesty International warned.

     

    I think you are dreaming if you think Thaskin had nothing to do with this  This is Thailands Shame
