  Giles is just a pawn in the bigger lobbyist game
  
  It seems like the ole 1-2, first Wattanasak and then Pansak!
  
  The laws he is being investigated for are archaic but even the King knows that and most people are pardoned by him
  
  On the other hand Thailand does not want foreign journalists here who report news incorrectly. I have seen the BBC reports and interviews with him. They are totally false.
  
  Even Jonathan Head, who knows Thaksin well, is rumored to be on the payroll.
  
  He chose the wrong side. He made up his stories and everyone here knows it. As well as that he was probably paid for it. He should be deported and banned from this country for life. He is a perfect example of a corrupt reporter spinning the truth, something I thought the readers of this blog are against. However I see some are not.
  My best advice make some investigatons into the background of the stories before you post and finally do not think Thai people are all stupid or corrupt. They are not. To insult the King as one stupid commenter did is really dumb.
  
  I have lived in Thailand 28 years and it even insults me when some ignoramus makes such a comment.

  Is the term terrorist a correct definition on those undemocratic Hitler worshipping PADDERS?
  
  “Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those acts which are intended to create fear (terror), are perpetrated for an ideological goal (as opposed to a lone attack), and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants.”
  
  Does this fit the PAD activities? I guess NO SANE person capable of following a minimum of logical reason will doubt that. Of course the PADDER’s doesn’t fit up to the description of being above the limit as to be called sane…so they will still keep up their illogical gibbering also after being met with facts.
  
  I see that David and WTF still are on the payroll of PAD. What a waste of money, but then I guess they are on the lowest part of the wage scale even if they still obviously are desperate for their 30 coins of silver…

  Dear Sunitra,
  
  you see, what Dr. Ungpakron is fighting for is a new Thailand where even idiots like you can still have their say, in an open, liberal and pluralist society based on constructive criticism and debate. The society you want, instead, wants everyone whose ideas are even slightly different from the "official truth" in jail or, even better, 6 feet under. I think anyone with a functioning brain wouldn't have a doubt on what type of society they should choose.
  There's an old saying "in a fascist society, you'd be the first to go". Sunitra, careful, lack of freedom often backfires on the ones who support it.

  Sunitra
  
  In typical Thai style, the most senior Pooyai of the gang is responsible for paying for the party - and thus pays for one and all - young right-wing fascist girls are the prize. According to rumour, the sucking is done by your daughter, number 29, at ChokeDee Massage and Karaoke - I hear she likes the old fat and smelly sino-looking guys as they are most likely to have a Benz in the driveway..

  Sorry it was Giles Ungypakron not John Ungypakron that is guilty of being a hippy rabid dog, bunch of troublemakers, it seems like they ae all part of one giant gay gangbang, this sadly is not a joke or insult but the truth.
  
  New members to the gang attend a secret meeting where they must drink the seeds of other members as they swear allegiance to eachother, I am not sure of the sucking order as it is all kept very secret but it seems like Thaksin is at the top and therefore does not have to do anyone but all those below him must prove themselves and it is suspected that they do this by blowing Jakrapob. There are lots of details in the blogs but it is difficult to know who really blow who?
  
  I wonder if the secret blows will continue in prison?
