'Only good at paying lip service" is the damaging slogan that stuck to outgoing Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva as he campaigned for the July 3 election, writes Chettawan Teurprakhon of Matichon.
Hundreds of Triumph workers protest at Government House in August 2008 after union worker Jitra Kochadech was sacked for wearing a T-shirt with a provocative message. She is now back in the limelight after coining a provocative slogan to refer to outgoing Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva during the election which suggested that he was all talk and no action.
Union activist Jitra Kochadech coined the slogan, and even printed it out for media inspection during Mr Abhisit's appearance at a Thammasat University seminar on women's rights to mark International Womens Day on March 6.

Quite ironic that she said she does not support Thaksin, yet she says "My father used to tell me that I was a Thaksin loyalist " I think the red spirit runs in her family, she just doesn't realize it. But I do support her courage for standing out and sticking it up to politicians. We will see if she gives Yingluck the "Lip Service" sign next year. She should not have wore the "Not standing is no crime, different thinking is no crime" t-shirt, supporting the person who did not stand up is just disrespectul in this society. Its a no brainer, do as Romans do.
