But BJP is against nepotism!!!!
They say history is written by the winners. Growing up, I remember hearing about 88/89. About fires, forced curfews, severed heads on doorsteps, bodies floating in lakes.
I was told this was the work of JVP. Even as a child, I had two questions. Why did they do it, and why were they allowed in politics after that without being labelled terrorists like the LTTE?
So I studied about that period as I got older. What I realised is that there is no justification for what the JVP did. But also that history has been kind to the then government, because there was virtually no independent, private media at the time.
The impact of 88/89 has been felt for decades since. A lot of passionate people, who believed in a different Sri Lanka, were either killed off or had to migrate. Their absence probably explains the collective slumber that our population seems to have been in for over 30 years.
An unbiased re-examination of what happened in 88/89, and what led to those events, will be instructive for the future, to ensure it never happens again. #SriLanka #lka
@vjgtweets Tipping is actually nonsense. You pay not only for the food but the service and ambience. If the establishment aren’t paying their staff enough, that’s on them. Not the customer
🇺🇸🇮🇱 Donald Trump Attends a “Stop Antisemitism” Event with Miriam Adelson.
Miriam donated $100 million to Trump’s campaign.
After making the donation, she urged Trump to allow Israel to annex the West Bank and to prevent the creation of a Palestinian state.
Her late husband, Sheldon Adelson, flew Jonathan Pollard to Israel on a private jet after he was released from prison in the US.
Pollard was arrested for committing espionage against the US for Israel, during which he gave US intelligence to the Soviets in exchange for allowing Russian Jews to immigrate to Israel.

Dude you really have become a danger to humanity. You're smart as hell and obviously capable as hell but your values and your judgement are off.
You've helped enough. Really.
So can Hamas just assassinate CNN journalists and say "we have evidence they were members of the Republican party"? Or "they were embedded with the US and Israeli army"?
Or is such reasoning only acceptable in the West when Israel murder reporters in Lebanon and Palestine?
The #Mosque in Hartlepool that was attacked by far right thugs.
Last year gave £25k to the British Legion through the sale of poppies. Cooked over 25k meals for people in Hartlepool who were hungry. Anybody got a list of what the far right thugs have done for their communities?
Stop calling racist people ‘anti-immigrant’. They haven’t been attacking white American, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, French and Italian immigrants, have they?
When politicians have presided over economic decline, it has been easier for many of them to blame migrants.
Decades of demonising "the other" be they migrants or Muslims has led us to this point.
Taking on the far-right means you have to confront their ideology, not adopt it.
