People sometimes wonder how RW has remained the party leader for so long. It is because no one has emerged within the party to come close to challenging him in terms of a person who can be contrasted against the President. Just think about it. If either KJ or Sajith were the party leaders, people will compare the superiority ...
Now that word Country Bumpkin is his, to describe himself not mine, as I would not be so generous! The tragedy of a President who is the laughing stock of the world but a serious offender of the basic rights of the people he pretends to rule over, continues. This time with the big joke he thinks any commonsense person ...
To coincide with the President’s birthday, Sarath Fonseka’s left over funds from his disastrous Presidential campaign, namely Rs500M is being used to launch the series of newspapers today. To please the President and to curry favor and promise to be servile, they begin the day with a special supplement to mark this birthday. It should therefore not be any ...
We forget that all of the problems Sri Lanka faces at the International Level have nothing to do with the people of Sri Lanka. The country is a quasi dictatorship. It is completely to do with the alleged misdeeds of the Leaders of the Country and that too is restricted to at most about 4 or 5 people. So ...
The UNP had expressed a desire to show solidarity with the Tamil speaking region of the country, namely Jaffna peninsula, by holding their May Day rally in Jaffna.

A whole day in Kandy doing the rounds not just with the Asgiriya and Malwatte Prelates, KJ went to other religious institutions in Kandy, Christian, Muslim and Hindu just to be equitable and for the TV cameras to get their blessings too.If one is of sound mind, one will realize if one went on the same mission one would ...
In a bizarre twist the former AG Mohan Peiris speaking at a UN session, said that he had on good authority that the above journalist who disappeared nearly two years ago is in a foreign country.

An adjournment motion was called for by the Opposition UNP to debate the prevailing breakdown in the Law and Order situation in Sri Lanka. This was permitted by the speaker for yesterday, Wednesday the 19th of October 2011.

Lately this country has been subjected to a humiliating climb-down from a lofty pedestal of pontificating arrogance from its leaders all the way to Geneva. Leaders, have no concept of Geopolitics and International Diplomacy. A bunch of amateurs at enormous expense, a record delegation, was sent to further embarrass and shame this country, to such a degree, that an unprecedented ...
Any guesses as to what is in store at the UNP Working Committee meeting tomorrow?Have you noticed that the Karu(KJ) camp has been working overtime convincing all and sundry on the suitability of a turncoat as the leader of the UNP. Ranil(RW) on the other hand has not been doing any rounds. He has just been the same intransigent RW ...
The above two are part of the GOON SQUAD sent in by the President to insult and threaten the CJ within the PSC, hoping she would buckle under. Weren’t they in for a surprise when she turned the tables on them, announced to the world they were some street urchins in the guise of Ministers of the Republic, and a ...
I have tried to use my contacts to look into who it is that is attempting to bring in surreptitious legislation to strangle the future investment, development, progress and entrepreneurship in Sri Lanka. No one claims ownership and it the only government spokesman defending this draft bill referred to in the earlier blog post, was the Media minister, asserting ...
The Friday forum comprising some intellectuals from disparate backgrounds issues statements from time to mainly about policy directions we must think about and related governance issues to enable Sri Lanka to regain its rightful place in the community of nations it has most definitely lost especially since the end of the hostilities. It is galling to see Burma race ahead ...

If one takes a step back from the hype and just thinks about the history and meaning of our New Year one will get a completely different understanding of what is all about.Over time the rituals have grown, with many theories as to why we do this and that at various auspicious times and in order that we will obtain ...
This ongoing saga has taken a nasty turn where the Sirasa TV has gone on a vendetta to attack the party leader of the UNP with a vengeance never seen in the history of Sri Lanka. What is more, there has not been one word uttered by the Leader to these defamatory statements as he feels that they do ...
There is not one view I have heard expressed by the laity in private conversation about the activities of the Clergy that they (the clergy) would want to hear. It is simply that the Buddhist Philosophy has been bastardized by the Sangha in Sri Lanka (I am generalizing as there are some who attempt to live by the teachings)There is ...
Now that Keheliya Rambukwella has been put out of action by his own lack of discretion in behavior in Australia, his work is currently being conducted by Anura Priyadhashana Yapa, who has acted in that capacity in the past as the Govt. spokesman on Misinformation. The latest salvo is the shameless lies about having different pricing for different categories ...
KJ who received less preference votes than two novice MPs Baba and Paba in the Gampaha District is hoping to lead the UNP! Are you guys serious? Sajith whatever made you write that letter? Do you want to finish what’s left? This after Sajith agreed with Tiran Alles to prevent the DNA or even the DP from attending the ...
Mr Sritharan a TNA, MP and a former school teacher, who ostensibly recruited school children to the LTTE, made a statement amongst a group of lawyers in Tamil Nadu, that Prabarkaran was alive and well. No doubt this elicited a whole barrage of comments including those who honestly believe he is still alive. We know in history there are many ...
