re: "Dress code a non-issue" (Editorial, July 12)
Dear editor,
The only bad dress ever seen in Thailand's parliament is those shameful pseudo-military uniforms that epitomize all that is most rotten in Thai politics and society. The wearing of anything that looks so militaristically uncivil should certainly be banned.
Anything that would get you into brunch at a decent hotel is perfectly OK to wear in parliament, whatever the regressive anti-reformists of the pro-dictatorship lobby might screech in their usual worship of the bad old ways of the bad old men who think themselves the height of all things wonderful. It is especially sad to see women MPs duped into the ugly ideology of militarism against civil manners.
