In Buriram, The Nation reports that a complaint has been made:
Five local activists, including failed electoral candidates, Thursday filed a complaint calling for police to launch a probe into alleged offending remarks against the monarchy made by ousted premier Thaksin Shinawatra.
The activists cited a transcript of Thaksin’s interview released by the cable news station CNN on Wednesday as evidence.
They said Thaksin’s remarks could be construed as a vengeful vendetta aimed at the King.
The five are Srimuang Watanacheep, Krichthep Upachan, Sanoh Phromsawat, Amnaj Chanmontri and Krai Praroonrum.
Lt Colonel Sanong Wankhot, duty officer of the Muang police station, acknowledged the complaint and would forward it to the headquarters of Royal Thai Police for review.

By allowing rascals like these to use his name in vain, the Kking is cheapening his throne.

Of course Anon is right but could anyone explain to me what this “activists” are talking about? I watched and read the interview several times but I saw nothing that could be constructed as a “vengeful vendetta”

Please note: New Mandala encourages vigorous debate. However, for the moment we will only be publishing high-quality comments that make original contributions to discussion. There will, of course, still be space for pithy, humorous, eccentric and cheeky input. Short and sweet will usually trump long and involved. Repetitive ranting, unimaginative point-scoring and idle abuse will not be entertained. Comments which carry a real name are also more likely to be approved.
