UDD: TRC biased against Thaksin

The Truth for Reconciliation Commission (TRC) has not been impartial and its report on its findings on the 2010 riots is intended to help former prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and his former deputy Suthep Thaugsuban, according to red-shirt leader Tida Thawornseth.

Ms Tida, chair of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD), said she questioned the TRC's impartiality since it was established by the Abhisit government in 2010.

It was not believable that a government would set up a commission that would find it find fault with its own actions, she said.

    If you are not a supporter of the red you are an enemy now? So much for freedom and democracy the PTP are preaching.

    One word describes Thida.........EVIL

    An old, bitter and hateful lady defending outdated communist ideas but still working hard to help the new elite of the North....poor poor Thailand!

    Mr T and UDD not happy to take any blame at all. So much for accepting the committee's report.

    I would like to see a BP poll on the following topic: Would Thailand be better off without people like Tida Thawornseth? or " Does anyone really care what Tida Thawornseth says?

    "Ms Tida, chair of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD), said she questioned the TRC's impartiality since it was established by the Abhisit government in 2010."

    And Ms Tida's comments are neither impartial nor objective becuase they come from Ms Tida.

    What a ... oh, no, I'm not allowed to say that.

    I think that Thida has been telling herself the usual UDD stories so many times in front of a mirror that even she believes them now. She and Thaksin would make a perfect couple.

    Utterly predictable from Thida. It's bias because it put some of the blame on them. There will never reconciliation while people like her continue to speak their hatred.

    “It was not believable that a government would set up a commission that would find it find fault with its own actions, she said.”
    With that attitude I guess all commissions and committees PThaksin setup within the last year should be scrapped, correct?
