thai protests

[Gary]

did anyone see that british woman on BBC news calling the protesters selfish? For not considering that they might cause her to be stuck in a (posh by the look of it) hotel room whilst they protest about their fraudulently elected prime minister? Class
I'd like to think that even if i was dumb enough to have that opinion i wouldnt be dumb enough to say it on national tv.
