MeMock, DJ Pat and Marmite the Dog -

You obviously didn't see the worth in a feature that brought to the general publics attention: corruption - nepotism - police ineptitude and the ludicrousness of some aspects of Thai society, amongst other things.

In my opinion, the crass antics of politicians etc. in their self-serving antics of self-enrichment needed ridiculing and sending-up - and by all accounts - Phil McDonald - the editor of Farang Affairs - did an exemplary job of that.

Farang Affairs was one of the few channels existing, in the English language press here, that high-lighted the absurdities and silliness of life here in Thailand.

Didn't notice much criticism before of Farang Affairs from you all!

But, as usual, there are always people only too willing to put the boot in - when "one" is down!
