My first thought was "stooges."

Funny how the gov doesn't seem to be trying to cancel this one.

Rally against anything CPP:

Nonsense GM. The police tolerated months of anti govt marches last year. Violence was the exception, not the norm.

If it's not in the papers yet can we assume CEOCambodia News had a "man" (put in quotation marks as no one know if CEOCambodiaNews is male or female "apparently")on the ground at the rallies?

FB is everywhere.
Thugs everywhere too. And there was definitely also a man on the ground.

Not sure what this is about though ? Looks like a "discreet" warning to Ken and co. to STFU. I expect he's been going on about Vietnam again ? SR has been refered to as a future Pol Pot recently. Is this just the usual payback or are they looking to stir things up as an excuse to clamp down ?
Or, it could just be a terrible misunderstanding. O:-)
