Strange. ThaiVisa reports red shirt demonstartions in Bangkok today. I DON'T see anything else about it in all the other usual spots to check. I just DON'T see this on the Nation either. Anyone know more? I just sent some visitors to CTW and Paragon.

Red shirts to reveal 'solid evidence' of Abhisit's UK citizenship
By THE NATION
Red-shirt leader Jatuporn Promphan said the highlight of today's demonstration would be a revelation about Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's alleged British nationality.
Jatuporn said this would set the stage for the upcoming censure debate in Parliament.
Police meanwhile will deploy more than 1,000 officers in three locations to be visited by red shirts, including Ratchaprasong intersection and Democracy Monument.

In a related development, police denied that they were prepared to use Chinese-made tear gas to disperse the yellow-shirt People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD), which has been warned to end its occupation of streets around Government House.
The Centre for the Administration of Peace and Order (CAPO) said anti-riot police would be equipped only with US-made tear gas and the canisters, if used at all, would be thrown manually at yellow-shirt protesters and not fired.
The PAD regards Chinese-made tear gas as a potentially deadly weapon.
