On March 23 the PM used his weekly national radio address to warn the kingdom about a plot to undermine his government. Thaksin said "devilish" forces have been paying an army of henchmen to ride in cabs and say terrible things about him-in the nefarious hope that the cabbies would pass the criticism on to other fares.
