Did you hear about the ship with supplies (medicine, food, clothes) that was sent to SL by the tamils in the UK? The gov detained the ship and they have now sent it back to the UK with the cargo. At this rate, there is no chance of reconciliation. Discrimination, abuse, and hatred towards tamils has never been this bad before.

If they so care about tamils now its the time you have to help them to resettle . . . not the send money like before to kill them

[STVR1]

She's not defending any of the attrocities commited by the ltte and neither am I. The problem most people have is with the way the gov has treated the tamils during the war. Simple as that. You cant claim to protect the civilians and then kill and maim them.

[STVR1]

HAHA. This is what you should've recognised as gov propaganda. If you said anything as remotely as silly as that (UN helped ltte, etc) you will be laughed at sny where else int he world. I am sorry mate, you need to understand how these multi-national organisations and media operate. They have nothing to gain from helping the ltte. UN for instance is made up of 190+ countries including SL and China- who provided the most help in this war. So UN was actually on the side of the gov.

[STVR1]

No body is living in the past. Yes, attrocities were commited against the tamils as recently as the war. How about the present? 300,000 tamils imprisoned with little food and water. People are dying every day in the camps described by many including a top SL judge as appalling and terrible conditions. This is the present and the gov is still treating the tamils badly.

British gvnmnt shuld concern about what she said about resistense. As to her if something happen in a country affected people should take law in to their hand get weopons and show some resistence is ok. As to her then thay will be named as terrorists. But if you don't show resistence like that they will not get what they want. So lady alquida and thaliban... aren't they doing the same thing. As a british parliamentary candidate is that how you talk.....

[jeev2009]

God this tamil women talks the same thing again and again no matter what's the question. Now two viewers asked two quizes about LTTE... Loos like she's got no idea about so called LTTE. But she is happend to know everything else about what SL gvmnt did and she had some stupid answers for everything else. She is obviously a LTTE member.

[jeev2009]

Mate if you wanna live in the past you can. Some people like you think everything is racist. Then how do you explain all the LTTE attacks on innocent unamed sinhalese,Musilims and tamil civilians. Isn't that genocide. Os SL govmnt kiling LTTE terrorists to protect Sri lankans is a genocide. You tell me mate. Only thing you don't get most of the tamils live in colombo in peace with other nationalities. Only tamils in other countries don't want this war to end....

[jeev2009]

In sl so called independent media and UN supplied all the equipments to LTTE including heavy earth moving machines ,satellite stations, weoapons, etc. Also they tried there level best to save ltte leaders. Thats why SL gov didn't want any of these NGO's, UN, or so called int media. These are the facts mate.
