Another Thai coup

After 8 years, Thailand is in the grip of yet another coup. It was bound to happen!

A different set of elites were getting on top of the old elites. The old elites called on their good mates the army and there you go, Coup 101.

It's very different this time, there have been protests in the country and the army as responded quite harshly. Cracking straight down on protesters, shutting down social media for an hour or so (which didn't go down well), closing off mass transit points and people seem to be disappearing to hardiness camps for a week or so. Amazingly coming out happy.

Obviously, none of the old elite trouble makers are in trouble even though they started the last bout of trouble. No sir....

Even the Americans who are usually troubled by allied coups are voicing decent. The UK as usual haven't said very much, standard for a British government.

So the circle of Thai political life goes on, Coup - return to democracy - wrong party gets into power for old elite - old elite protest - coup.....
