Chalerm asks Udon reds to stay put

There is no need for supporters of the United Front of Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) to travel to Bangkok to show opposition to the Pitak Siam group of Gen Boonlert Kaewprasit, Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yubamrung said on Tuesday.

Mr Chalerm was responding to a threat by Kwanchai Praipana, leader of the Rak Udon Group of Udon Thani, to lead red shirts to Bangkok to confront with Pitak Siam.

He said if the red-shirts were not satisfied they could protest symbolically at the provincial hall.

    The game continues - with UDD and PTP attempting to maintain plausible deniability as if every move they make isn't orchestrated from Dubai. Both parties don't exist without Thaksin, and the UDD lately have been very sloppy, openly admitting they are working exclusively for Thaksin's return.

    So - you eliminate corruption simply by ordering all projects to be scrutinized? Easy peasey!

    Who scrutinizes the scrutinizers, may one ask?

    “He said if the red-shirts were not satisfied they could protest symbolically at the provincial hall.” Finally a good idea from Chalerm.
    Let the reds stay in their red villages and protest there all day and night – maybe if they disturb the working villagers long enough then maybe these working villagers will explain to them that they better shut up and work for a change.

    If there is a coup, it will have been precipitated 100% by the reds. Restrain yourselves or be couped!

    "The censure would be symbolic and a formality because the government was not corrupt because the prime minister had ordered all projects be scrutinised, he added."

    And all the new mp's will just say I have just taken the post I don't know about that
    End of censure.

    Chalerm says the the gov is not corrupt so it must be true!

    "Authorities would keep the rally under control, using internationally recognised standards for crowd control without use of weapons, he added."

    Lets hope that who every holds a rally red or whhatever colour the Authorities(police) actually do somthing this time.
