Alleged military coup in progress in Thailand (UPDATE) | 30 comments (30 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)
Re: Alleged military coup in progress in Thailand (none / 0)
On Newsnight tonight, the main charges levelled at Thaksin:

  1. Creeping authoritarian tendencies, including Berlsconi style media ownership (no independent TV left in Thailand), nepotism in the armed forces and civil service.

  2. Issues about the situation in the South.

  3. Concerns about his personal corruption.

  4. Loss of support for Thaksin in the Bangkok middle class, feeling that Thaksin suppressed opposition.

You, or newsnight, missed out the borderline lese majeste of the administration, which here in Thailand is a very big issue.
