Dear Editor,
The British PM David Cameron has caused consternation among Sri Lankans the world over by singling out Sri Lankan Tamils only for his best wishes for what is truely a Sinhalese and Tamil new year.
This favouritism is a grim reminder to the majority Sinhalese of the misery and servitude they were subjected to as the victimised majority of the “devide and rule” British colonial rule when the Tamils were the favoured minority.

Thank you Chula for high lighting the British PM’s bias attitude.
I have witnessed true face of the British and their racism in the sixties onwards for almost two decades for I have studied and taught in British institutions, worked in various companies, did business there. So, British PM’s selective greetings is of no surprise to me. I say, it speaks for volumes of thing that goes in a typical Machiavellian neo-colonialist head. H.L.D.Mahindapala has written on this and more very appropriately. We ought to be very grateful to him.
In my opinion, right now, we have two choices. Back RanilW, the modern day Don Juan and let the colonialists and their puppets here pave the way to crate a Tamil Eelam or unite under President Rajapakse, the modern day Prince Diyasena and hold on to our unitary Sri Lanka.

These white idiots dont have any general knowledge of any subject unless they were advised by their advisers or speech writers. They never did anything good for our Sinhala nation so dont bother them too much whether they wish or not who cares. I hate them ,you hate them and everybody hates these white dogs.

British Prime Minister David Cameron is a lapdog of tamil refugees. He is after tamil refugee’s votes for next election. He should know that Tamil New Year (Thai pongal) is on 15th January but not on 14th April. This is an insult to tamils. Saviors of tamils don’t know when is tamil new year. What a shame David! He is a political clown similar to Karunanidhi.
April 13th /14th is a Theravada Buddhists new year. We Sinhala nation is a Theravada Buddhists therefore we celebrate our New Year on April 13th /14th with other Theravada Buddhist countries.
“Buddhist New Year:
In Theravada countries, Thailand, Burma, Sri Lanka, Cambodia and Lao, the New Year is celebrated for three days from the first full moon day in April. In Mahayana countries the New Year starts on the first full moon day in January” Ref.Buddhanet
Sinhala Buddhists /Sri Lanka is allergic to British politicians and BBC, they try to hand over our new year to tamil refugees for few votes.

David Cameron! Don’t moo in the public that proves you a bull. You are a prime minister to a feudalist woman even in 21st century, who is still head of the state in your country. 90% of world countries are free from feudalism, China, India, Russia, U.S.A, Brazil, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, most of Africa, Asia and South America etc.
No wonder fools of 21st century who worship a feudalist family appointed a clown as their prime minister who doesn’t know when is tamil new year. Next time this dumb ass will wish to Israel a happy Ramadan and happy Christmas to Saudi Arabia! What a clown.
If not british still have an inferior complex of 1818 and 1848 freedom fights of Sinhala nation who fought against british invaders. After India, Asia and Africa surrendered to british invaders only Sinhala heroes fought twice to expel british invaders from our mother country. Is this the reason they still trying to take revenge from Sri Lanka in every occasion?
