Thanks. I've been trying to keep up to date but Thai politics are so alien to Westerners that it's difficult.
I tend to regard P as a-political (certainly compared to me) but he's always been a Thaksin-man. It was during and because of Thaksin's premiership that his village was at last electrified and I remember him making the seven hour journey back to the north to vote for him when I first knew him. It surprised me because I've never been a fan of capitalists. But his devotion was real enough.
And now, like the other guys I know- I don't mix with the wealthy- he's still supporting the Red Shirts. I shall be flying my PFLP flag (yes, it's also red) over the next few days in the hope of a slap in the face for the generals. Fortunately, I'm used to being on the losing side.
The following suggests that my pessimism is justified....
