The Return of the Reds: 2

The UDD managed to get about 27,000 red-shirted supporters to yesterday's rally in Bangkok. That would be far less than they had hoped for but more than the government would have been comfortable with. A stalemate then.

Thaksin made a 'phone-in' begging his supporters to "... not let him die in the desert." He has of course been on the run since his corruption conviction and he's now living in Dubai after a number of countries revoked his visa. I hope he stays there.
