Laws cannot bring unity
Events of the last few weeks, climaxing in duelling demonstrations in downtown Bangkok, make it clear that strong and important divisions remain. But Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra stays aloof and even detached from the disagreements. It was just a year ago that Ms Yingluck was promising that her election would promote reconciliation. That hasn't happened. In important ways, the political rifts have widened.

PEDALPOWER
The picture was taken at the Thailand-Cambodia border in July 2007 following my return from a visit to Angkor Wat. I was sitting in an open-fronted cafe {aac}waiting for the arrival of my transport to Pattaya. The heavens opened and a torrential downpour ensued. I spotted this and another contraption coming towards me. I picked up my digital compact camera and took three pictures, this being the best. On reviewing the previous shots, it is clear that the man "powering" it is disabled, only having one leg, hence the "hand power".

It would appear that every Western novelist feels that if he doesn't pen at least one story about Muslim terrorists, he isn't being patriotic. Doesn't matter if it's plausible, it is the subject matter that counts. After all, is there any atrocity Muslim terrorists aren't capable of?
