More red shirts
Yep, they're still around. They all went up the road outside our office today, on their way to the 11th Brigade barracks to harass the Prime Minister, who of course had already fled in a chopper to another location. That didn't stop them arriving mob-handed and allegedly throwing grenades into the army ranks. It's all go here, I tell you. Anyway, here's a photo - this stream of trucks went on for miles. Apparently there were 100,000 of the blighters. Thaksin's last throw of the dice? Who knows...

Ok, so technically there was a bit of a coup - and Thaksin was thrown out. Thats why the red shirts are getting shirty (ahem). Democratically elected yes - but using his position for personal gain (at least Tony Blair waited until he left politics) - is not good either. Using his ill gotten gains to bribe the (poor) electorate (red shirt anyone) into electing him into office can't be democracy - can it? (shakes head).
