Thai politics
I had lunch with my favourite Thai water company today and the conversation turned to politics. Thais have been demonstrating outside Parliament since May to protest against the Prime Minister Samak who was also working as a chef on TV (just imagine if we had to watch GB making Brown Sauce on TV!). He was forced to resign but the new PM, Somchai, although having been an excellent Minister of Justice in the past, is hampered by his wife who is not only the sister-in-law of Thaksin Shinawatra (erstwhile owner of Man City) but also under investigation for being "unusually wealthy". I'm not sure which country's politics is more complicated: Thailand or Malaysia?

No WW, Belgium. Believe me!
Unusually wealthy? I like that. Presumbaly that is just one level removed from fabulously wealthy....
Salut ED! Yes, what's the latest in Belgium?
Morning KL - I suppose one could become fabulously wealthy via unusual means.
Belgium seems to be running itself despite the Flems fighting amongst themselves.
Our country's motto is: "L'Union fait la Force". Not much "Union" at the moment.
ww - ah yes, I had forgotten the Mafia possibilities.....
Sorry to hear that, ED
Yes, KL, and also the spin off of the brother-in-law's wealth
