What we are witnessing in the UK is white supremacist cooptation of discourse. The fundamental purpose is to make people detached from anti-Black racism. Evoking the name of Stephen Lawrence is heinous. 4 of the people who murdered him have yet to be convicted, 33 years later.

1958.

There was no LTTE.
There was no Tamil militancy.
There was no diaspora.

Just Sri Lanka.

There are no excuses.

A Labour MP is urging the Home Office to revoke leftwing political commentator Hasan Piker’s visa ahead of his appearance at a festival in London next week.

Piker, perhaps America’s most popular and recognisable leftist influencer, is billed to speak at a SXSW London event called ‘How the American left learned to speak the internet’ in June.

Labour MP for Hemel Hempstead David Taylor has called on the Home Office to revoke Piker’s visa on the grounds that his presence would not be conducive to the public good.

Taylor has a history of opposing pro-Palestinian voices. Last year, he objected to the renewal of Francesca Albanese’s role as the special rapporteur for the Occupied Palestinian Territories and labelled her antisemitic.

Piker is an outspoken critic of Israel, and speaks candidly to his approximately three million Twitch followers and nearly two million YouTube subscribers about the ongoing genocide in Gaza, class politics and the consequences of US foreign policy.

He is currently endorsing progressive candidates in a number of primaries, drawing the ire of the Democratic establishment.

The streamer has been criticised for comments he made on an episode of Pod Save America, where Piker said he would “vote for Hamas over Israel every single time”. In the UK, Hamas is proscribed as a terrorist organisation and showing support for it is punishable by up to 14 years in prison.

A spokesperson for SXSW told the Times that the festival brings together "a wide range of speakers with different associations, affiliations and perspectives".

It is rare that a Sinhala voice speaks with such conviction.

This is Fr Jeewatha Peiris in Colombo this month, calling the killing of Tamils by Sri Lanka a genocide,

“History has proven it,” he said.

How many more voices like his will emerge from the South?

🎙️ Did Mullivaikkal End History?

The full text of a speech delivered by Father Jeewantha Peiris on May 16, 2026, at the SEDEC Caritas Hall, at an event organised by the Movement for Equal Rights.

I think it is very important that in this evening’s discussion we ask the question of whether Mullivaikkal marks the end of history, because what we are still reading is history written by someone. Most of the time, we are compelled to read the history shaped by elite Sinhala nationalist narratives. But I believe it is necessary to question what the real history is, as read through a subaltern, non-elite, genuine political analysis - especially at a moment like today, in an evening like this, and as citizens living in the year 2026.

We know we are talking about a genocide.

A reminder that 1948 actually saw the establishment of two settler colonial entities: Israel and Sri Lanka. The latter has also spent decades engaging in systematic campaigns of annihilation, these being against Eelam Tamils who have suffered under the apartheid settler project.
