Why people call it a phone link or video link I will never know.
That aside, I listened to it today and there were a few points that linger on in my mind.
With regard to policy, Thaksin said that if he returns, he will get rid of people's debt in the first six months, create universal employment in the next six months and by the 18th month put everyone who wants it on a state salary.
He may be claiming to be the symbol of a Democracy but that is definitely socialist thinking. Well, China has a communist free market economy, so perhaps Takki is thinking of the world's first democratic socialist planned economy.
He also promised a dam to protect Bangkok from rising sea levels. I recall he also one promised an end to traffic jams in Bangkok in TRT's first term.
The other point I found disturbing was his repeated reference to the doctored Abhisit tape. Rather than pretending to argue it's genuine, Takki now says that the tape is doctored to protect the identity of a certain member of the Elite. I wonder who. That said, Abhisit has proven, to my satisfaction at least, that the tape was taken from many parts, including his weekly show, and thus not just a case of cutting one person's voice out.
Finally, it is nice to know that even Takki cannot escape the homophobic anti-gay rhetoric his Reds have been whipping up all week. "The Elite is not married and does not have sons and daughters, but we do and need True Democracy for them."
To be continued...
