People’s Alliance for Democracy protesters occupying the Thai capital’s two airports say they’ll resist any government attempts to remove them by force.

The People’s Alliance for Democracy was founded on a single, unshakeable principle: democracy must be stopped at all costs before these idiots do something stupid.
The People’s Power Party government is standing firm, however, gleefully anticipating the moment the protesters realise they parked their cars at the airport two days ago.
If that fails, the government will attempt to clear the terminal, first with a free overnight accommodation offer. If that doesn’t work, the PPP says it is fully prepared to deploy rude check-in staff.
While revered monarch Bhumibol Adulyadej has yet to comment on the crisis, The Daily Grind understands that a draconian lèse majesté law protects King Big Ears from receiving details about how shit he is.
The episode is just the latest in the long-running soap opera that is Thai politics. In September, PPP Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej was found to have breached parliamentary rules on secondary employment for appearing on a televised cooking show. Mr Samak’s famous green curry was also forced to step down as defence minister.
