Thailand presents us with a choice:
do you want success or do you want democracy? The good thing about
military coups is that you rarely get either. Likewise, the bad thing is that you rarely get either.
The only interesting strand of the Shinawatra tale is where the bodies lie. We flagged this one a long while ago (click here). As unacceptable faces of capitalism go, this one was a gurning monstrosity. And he looked like a sci-fi character to boot.
I asked a pal about his take on the Shinawatra case. He (or it might be
‘she’, he asked to me insist on gender anonymity) said “let the
thieving little shit die”. Hell hath no fury like a man (or could it be
a woman?) scorned
He (or 'she', as he was adamant that I say although even I am now
confused) was in London. Goodness only knows what they are saying in
Bangkok.
