englishbob - it doesn't work that way. When there's no coup in April Jatuporn will come out saying how great he is for stopping a coup from hapenning.

Jatuporns comments and planned actions are poison for any reconciliation and may create panic and mistrust amoung the population, especially the red shirts . Jataporn represents the PT party as an MP and is PT party member, therefore his actions are connected with the PT party. General Prayuth does not have to make any puplic statements as requested by Jatuporn.

If there is no coup in April, I want Jatuporn on TV making a public apology for this ridiculous farcical prediction.

My first impression was only a little mustache is missing. This guy is plain dangerous, he belongs in an asylum.
