Its a win win win--She has gone, cant come back, is not in jail here acting to fire up her supporters. Its not what anyone did, but what they didnt do---stop her leaving.

Talking to some Thai ladies today. Thai people are not very open about their feelings about Thai politics with farangs. They all regard her as a heroic figure and are glad that she is "safe"

Ms Badluck gets some news.

There has been talk for quite a while of the possibility of working up an actual corruption case against her. Hardly surprising she didn't wait for the end of 'part 1'.

"in absentia." "There's no business like show business." 5 yrs., 25 yrs., it's irrelevant.
Re: Thai ex-PM fails to show for verdict
It just goes to show how divided Thai society is because I know a few Thai ladies, and 4 of them I know really well. Of those, two are 100% pro Thaksin, the other two are the exact opposite and believe the two Taksins should be locked up or never be allowed to return. Of these two ladies, one despises the currently leadership just as much as she despises the Taksin family. As is to be expected, the two pro Thaksin women are from Isaan, while the two anti Thaksin women are from Hua Hin and from Hat Yai.oakdale160 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 24, 2017 8:32 pm Talking to some Thai ladies today.

Mainly Isaan that supports the Thaksin's, people from the south will never support them as Thaksin said he would not provide any development aid to the south as they did not vote for him.

Even Isaan people are divided.

I am also anti, but the only positive thing Thaksin did, he gave to northern people and all those farmers their dignity, now they know that they have not to bow to this oligarchy.

Re: Thai ex-PM fails to show for verdict
I agree with that, but bunging money at them every year is not the same as helping agricultural reform. When will that come and how, farmers can't change anything by themselves.europtimiste wrote: ↑Thu Sep 28, 2017 4:21 pmEven Isaan people are divided.
