Re. Frederick's comments...way to go, buddy! Rationality out the window and pure garbage being marketed as fact, truth, etc.
I am not sure what importance the rest of us are to give to you and your wife's feelings against the FCCT, but don't try to do the same thing other oppressors do and cram your views down our throats.
Communist attitude - from the FCCT? From Jonathan Head? The closest thing I see to communism here is your comments!
My God, what a fool...
I would have given the British a bit more credit for intelligence than what has come across in your posting here. If you think that Thailand's has some holy right to emulate its friendly neighboring country Burma, you need to go to school to learn a few things.
If you love the monarchy, that's up to you. But don't call yourself a democrat or pro-democracy and at the same time put out such trash. Take a hike. Or get local citizenship.
Anyone in any manner at all familiar with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international standards Thailand is either obliged to honor or should oblige itself to honor will almost regurgitate at the ignorance apparently being professed by anti-FCCT writers on this blog.
Human decency? Understanding? Tolerance? No, don't hand out any of these, but instead accuse those seeking legitimate expression as 'interfering.' Talk about ignorance!!!
