<p>It’s beginning to get on my wick.</p>
<p>Because of the BMA’s farcical idea of what constitutes a ‘cycle lane’, I have a choice. I can pedal along the gutter, prey to the insouciant homicidal tendencies of the average Bangkok motorist. Or I can mount the footpath, use the ‘cycle lane’, and become myself predator, a danger to poor pedestrians.</p>
<p>My confidence in my own magnanimity (and total lack of confidence in that of Bangkok bus drivers), induces me to choose the footpath. But I am not out of danger there. </p>
<p>Considering its public statements, it seems that the Nitirat group has called for amendments to Article 112 of the Criminal Code in order that those who ‘criticize the monarchy in good faith’ are exempted from or given lighter punishments, but this is not all that what they want, said <a href="http://www.prachatai.com/english/node/2957">Pol Gen Vasit Dejkunjorn</a> in his Matichon column published on 10 Jan.</p>
<p>Pol Gen Vasit Dejkunjorn, former palace police chief and former Deputy Police Chief, has published an article in Matichon in response to recent comments by the US Ambassador and the United Nations Office of Human Rights on Thailand’s lèse majesté law.</p>
