Journos should know better than to mess with monarchy, let us see what happens to him when he returns to Thailand – in one of his events there was an attempt to attack Queen Elizabeth II
who is the invisible hand behind all this?
Evidence on Fah Dieo Kan shows that Jonathan Head was most probably corrupt
Jonathan is most certainly not corrupt.
I challenge anyone saying so to produce real evidence instead of hiding behind rumours.
Why was Jonathan pursuing Lese Majeste like a rabid dog? There are many other stories, on one day the BBC released 3 Lese Majeste stories.
Jonathan also hosted an evening of anarchy with Jakrapob Penkair.
There is smoke, and where there is smoke……
Nicola seems like a fake farang! who is hiding? If Jonathan is a real man why does he make no comment? He loves asking questions but seems very afraid to answer!
Jonathan also wrote alot of unresearched opinion , cheap low class journalism that smells like pure propaganda
A “Fake Farang”? Goodness me … what would that make me if I were authentic?
Jonathan is required by the BBC and pure common sense not to comment at all or to anyone until this issue is resolved. I realize common sense is hard to come by for some, Nissara, but I would be glad to package some up and send it to you if you want to post your address.
