Go red shirts

If you think British politicians are two-faced idiots, wait till you read this load of crap spouted by Thailand's prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva:

"Instead of the restoration of law and order, those who broke the law can do whatever they want. My feeling is similar to yours." (source)

Wow, just wow. Let's see. He is only the leader of the country after his allies at the military (with the backing of the royalty) staged an illegal coup to get rid of an elected and legitimate government, and then using his buddies at the courts (as well as through illegal blockades) to get rid of the subsequent elected government - effectively creating a one-party police state. He then appointed his scheming mates, the same ones who organised the illegal airport seat-in which lead to lost tourism money, into his government. Who's really the one getting away with breaking the law here?

This government is just as dirty, if not dirtier, as the previous ones - and they haven't even got the people's mandate...

Yes, it is about time Thailand becomes a republic and get rid of their scrawny king and his proxy power minions.
