Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha is grumpy and has been for the past week, almost four years actually. What with his lamenting that he is all too human, that people should respect the premiership or how he could have left the country in a civil war had he not staged the May 22 coup.
And of course, why aren't the media patriotic? Why do they have to publicise photos of his National Legislative Assembly members dozing off while "debating" the three-trillion-baht national budget?
Why do they have to point out that the economy is bad and reform not progressing when he has appointed a zillion committees to take care of the business? Social media is particularly annoying. Why do they have to mock him, put words in his mouth and come up with an endless array of sassy remarks?
