The anti-government Pitak Siam group will call off its rallies if its next demonstration attracts less than 1 million supporters.

Group leader Boonlert Kaewprasit said Sunday that the number of participants in the next rally will decide whether the movement continues to stage public demonstrations.

If it attracts less than 1 million people, the approach will be scrapped, he said, although the group will continue to attempt to overthrow the Yingluck Shinawatra administration through other means.

Gen Boonlert claims Pitak Siam's planned demonstration will be peaceful and lawful when its goal is to overthrow of the Yingluck Administration, preferably, it would appear, by force through a military coup. Isn't that in specific breach of the constitution? What a joke!!!!

And always keep in mind that it is Thaksin and the red-shirts that needs a coup in their favour. Bec. with all their legal power that they now have, they cannot get what they really want.

peterd: Great to have you here, always good fun! Now that you speak about old ladies, you remind me of the 'non-violent' occupation of BKK in 2010, it was packed with old ladies! With hand clappers, I agree, no umbrellas. LOL. And have you seen the pictures of last week's peacefull rally? I didn't see old ladies there (not any actually), but I admit not to be wearing red glasses...

I wonder if the other thousand odd generals in Thailand are of the same mindset. Thai media, ignore this story and will fade into oblivion. Lets have more headlines of the CEO's of major Thai companies taking on new wives.

Disc #3.
when people reach 60+, often the mouth runs faster than brain

How arrogant of you. I'm 60+ and I'll pit my brain power against yours any day of the week.

#6, "If the Yellow Shirts refuse to join them, it's a "No Go," OK?" Exactly that, as we know that the Yellow shirts are 995000 (including the assimilated (Tui) and a lot of old ladies with umbrellas).

Once again we see clearly that Thai politics exists in a fantasy world far removed from reality.
