Police are expecting about 3,000 supporters of the red-shirt United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) to gather at the Criminal Court on Thursday, when a decision is due on whether bail will be revoked for Jatuporn Prompan and 23 other leaders.

    Reds again, we have enough of reds, go home and work so you don't cry about "mai mee daang" and government not helping you. Useless bunch of people. Wasting the tax payers money each time they are out on the street.

    Did they get a permit to gather? I don't think so.

    These people do not know what 'the law' means and that it is NOT OK to break it. Their leader Thaksin is on the run from the law and will not return to his own country to appeal for a retrial. Why ? Because he knows he is guilty.

    Well, we surely wont see 3000000 Bangkok residents turn up to ask the court to lock the UDD leaders up for burning their city. Those people would gladly come, but they are WORKING and Paying Taxes!!

    Another biggest ever-yawn-lets hope it pours down tomorrow.

    Does anyone believe any attendee would give up two days salary and pay themselves for fuel, accommodation, and food because they love Jatuporn. Me neither.
