Rebel leaders from hell

I knew there was a radio station aimed at Bangkok taxi drivers but I had never listened to it until today on the short ride from my home to the Ekamai BTS station. My taxi driver was quite old and he seemed to be in a foul mood. Perhaps it what he was listening to.

At first, it seemed like an ordinary station with the presenter bemoaning the lack of unity in the country. It quickly became clear, however, that he put the blame on one group and one group alone  That was the People's Alliance for Democracy who were being led by the แกนนำกบฏจากนรก  (the rebel leaders from hell). They and their ASTV channel were ruining the country, refusing to listen to anyone and deliberately creating trouble for their own benefitt. The presenter praised the police and had some very harsh words for the military.

That is when my trip ended. I was in a foul mood mysefl.

Book fair update: I'll be on the main stage at 1:00 p.m. tomorrow (Wednesday) so if you are at the Queen Sirikit Convention Centre, come by and say hello.
