Some good news from the Nation for a change.
Published on Feb 01 , 2006
A group of 19 Thammasat University lecturers Wednesday called on Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra to resign, saying he has lost legitimacy to govern.
The lecturers said the people earlier gave Thaksin mandate to run the country with expectation that he would respect the Constitution and use political stability to solve the country's problems.
However, they said, it turned out that Thaksin had had abused the mandate to key principles of the Constitution and used power and interference to dominate the Senate as well as controlling independent organisations, rendering them unable to become check-and-balance mechanism against the administration.
The lecturers said in the open letter that Thaksin also tried to destroy press freedom and try to prevent the people from using their constitutional right to demonstate peacefully.
They said Thaksin had also been tolerating corruption, letting relatives and closed associates to reap interest from public projects and abused national policies and negotiations with foreign countries to reap vested interest.

Unfortunately this brings to mind Hitler's comment when told the Pope was against him:
"How many divisions does he have?"
Toxin didn't claw his way to the top of the tree to be pushed out easily. |

Good news that they're speaking out, but let's face it, he's been doing this stuff since the beginning of his first term in office. I don't think he's going to go very easily.

Nineteen academics? Give me a break. This is straight out of the TNA political handbook. Divide and rule etc.
They're not saying anything different from two years ago.
Has anything changed?
It pisses me off that these old cliches are repeated.
Remember people.
