Tamil Bsarderds all over the world (except for HK of course:)) went on demos insisting people to boycott the Sri Lankan Products.
It is an irony today as the whole world see the pictures of emaciated Tamil kids from NFZ holding in to a packet of MALIBAN CREAM CRACKERS with a broad smile as if he has won a lottery:)))
WeTamils ask people to boyctt Maliban while their nephews and nieces hold in to that as that is the Best thing in their lives! |

| Use this money to hold a referendum and Tamil Eelam transition. Greedy Sinhala racists will swallow the money otherwise. |

Throughout history the Sinhalayass robbed/looted, raped, burnt and killed the Tamils. It is a part of Sinhala-Buddhism.
Unfortunately the UN does not know the Sinhala-Buddhists well. I am sure a large part of this money will be robbed. |

I hear all kinds of contradictory reports. BBC says that UN was not satisfied with the present situation. US news says that UN team was not allowed in the war area.
Now UN has given relief to Sri Lanka Government for effected people. |

This is obviously going to make some souls jealous. Until now, it was the LTTE who cashed on selling the plight of innocent Tamils. And now, Mahinda maama has also started attracting foreign funds on the same grounds.
Great!!

This moron will be happy if someone throws him out of his house and gives him a biscuit. Understand their situation before talking about Sinhala magnanimity. |
