UK backs peace in Thailand, says PM

England prefers to see Thailand resolve internal political issues through parliamentary and peaceful means under the democratic system, says Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.

Speaking on her weekly TV programme about her trip to the UK earlier this week, the premier said British investors believed political instability would directly affect the Thai economy and disrupted development. Therefore ,the government's attempt to support a peaceful reconciliation process is accepted internationally.

The premier said she told British investors that everything should be concluded in Parliament, which is in line with the opinions of those investors who would like to see democracy as the mechanism for resolving conflict.

She dose not know the meaning of democracy.To shut those of you banging on about the GT 200 England inform other countries of bogus units such as the GT200,Thailand chose not to be on the list of countries to be informed.Had they not declined to be on such a list they would not have been duped by the sale of the thing.Could it be something to do with Thai pride or even worse closing a profitable door for corruption.

YL misses the point; Brit businessmen & politicians are smart enough to know where the violence is coming from and gave her a polite warning shot and she misunderstood & took it as praise. Wow, Thaimyth - you really have it in for UK! The GT200 remote scanner should have been called a 'remote scammer'; the British Govt investigated the UK company making them (Global Technical) and charged the owner with fraud this year. It turned out to be something that could have been made on Blue Peter with cardboard & tape. I guessed you didn't mean the CTX scanners YL's brother conned the country with? Those were from InVision Technologies, Inc in USA

'The premier said she told British investors that everything should be concluded in Parliament, which is in line with the opinions of those investors who would like to see democracy as the mechanism for resolving conflict'.

She means pass a law to whitewash TS that will not resolve anything but polarize the country even more.

D2 Khun Thaimyth.

The article says British investors told YS they wanted security. Her PR machine extrapolated that into "the British" which is about as fair as using an obscure ABAC poll on corruption as meaning "all Thais support corruption always"

IMO no one else apart from China is in the train bidding picture. Another Asian country rejected the sweet Chinese train offer as it apparently included a tiny little clause giving resettlement rights to the tens of thousand of Chinese railway guest workers (and families etc etc.Just what Issan needs !

Nothing says democracy, self-determination, and sovereignty like your PM deferring to the whims of foreign investors. Of course PM Cameron, playing imperialist in Libya and Syria on "human rights grounds" while utterly silent over Israel's bombardment of Gaza, told Yingluck's brother this, not her directly.

I assume that if you want a high speed rail-link, you do not look to the crumbling British railway system but rather to Germany, France, Spain or Japan.The call for support for peace is quite hollow too, wasn't it England who allowed to sales of those rubbish bomb-scanners. If they had sold it to places were the British were fighting the people would have gone to jail but in the meantime the lives of people in Pakistan or Thailand were considered inferior and that while a foreign government should reveal those contracts extra carefully after all there are still generals who just have one braincell more than a cow and claim the scanners are ok
