I'd rather die on my feet, than live on my knees or preferably in my sleep of old age.

Proof if it were needed that this country will soon be recognised as the saddest and most unmanageable on the planet. Well done, the so-called powers-that-be.

Military protection for who; their request does not make sense. Seeing as it will be just the protesters there, who will need protecting?

I'm so accustomed to seeing those nasty red letters at the bottom of a news article like this "Topic closed to comment." It always made me wonder "Then why even put it up?"

Couldn't be arsed, probably, especially with the military having so many spare bods.

No it was before already in other news outlets and shows clearly what kind of extremists they are but look in countries who are ruled from juntas, present past, destroying countries killing people, destroying economies and transform it in the poorest countries in the world. Everywhere they are it is a big mess.

"He believes they plan to create an outbreak that they will blame on the government and monarchy to highlight their failures in handling the Covid-19 pandemic."

At least he is recognizing there are failures to highlight!

I share your sentiment here, Stardust, albeit that Myanmar doesn't have a monarchy.

[HolyCowCm]

Um, isn’t this fear mongering with intent to create havoc and worry in society via posting fake untrue news? Or is he fully protected against his own ignorance.

Brits chucked the last one out, about 1895? went to India and died shortly thereafter. Been a long campaign to bring his body back home.

[Stonker]

Well, I agree with him about one thing: "... everything will change and it will not end the way it was.”

Eyes on the ground in Germany will be reporting soon no doubt, but elsewhere naturally

Unfortuately it does feel like coivd has been weaponised, but by a different group which has allowed the spread to occurr by not taking action earlier enough (pre songkran) or any that are effecive or and enforced(eg roadblocks for one).

Its a shame a comment like this from the Monarch supporters is actually news worthy
