Protesters at the anti-government rally on Nov 24 will definitely not lay siege to the parliament, Pitak Siam group leader Boonlert Kaewprasit said on Thursday.

Gen Boonlert, also known as Seh Ai, said if anyone at the rally broke into the parliament compound and the situation became violent he would take responsibility.

A censure debate is scheduled in the parliament from Nov 25 to 27, followed by the vote on a no-confidence motion on Nov 28.

They have the right to rally and to raise their voices if they are not happy with a (any) Government as long as the rally is peaceful and laws are not broken; if the Government believes that the majority of the society is supporting them why worry?

NUI D5: "The Red Shirts , PT Party and Thaksin Shinawatra were trying to breach the constitution and at the same time plotted to topple over the Democrat government in 2010."

Not fact. The democrats came in through the back door after the courts and military-backed PAD brought down two elected governments within a period of some months.

The 2010 demonstration were against the 2006 coup (anti-constitutional and illegal beyond the shadow of a doubt) and against the phony puppet government. New elections.

If the court allows Pitak Siam's rally aiming to topple the legally elected government this time, non-stop anti-government rallies would be held by anti-government groups in future.

The Red Shirts , PT Party and Thaksin Shinawatra were trying to breach the constitution and at the same time plotted to topple over the Democrat government in 2010. The courts should have ordered the UDD leaders / PT Party ( members on stage ) and Thaksin Shinawatra ( video phone ins ) to stop any rally that incites unrest in the society. Oh wait, this does not apply to the PT Party , UDD or Thaksin Shinawatra but it is meant only for their opponents.

"Pol Gen Adul Saengsingkaew, the national police chief, has issued an order prohibiting police from taking part in the protest, warning they would face severe disciplinary action."
Adul wants to use not only a "special law" to deny protesters their democratic freedom, but will now give police officers severe discipline if they also wish to partake in their democratic rights. Very scary stuff.

Thaksin must be seriously very worried. He can now see very clearly that there is no way that he will be able to return to Thailand. This will probably make him take extreme counter-measures. It is pointless him trying to pretend that by changing the Constitution to whitewash himself he will be able to return to a hero's welcome.
