Former Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa visited the UK High Commission in Colombo today to express his condolences over the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

Rajapaksa signed the condolence book set up at the High Commission and laid a wreath of flowers.

Over the weekend, President Ranil Wickremesinghe also visited the High Commission to sign the condolence book and announced that he would be visiting the UK to attend the Queen's funeral which will be held on September 19.

My advice to the UK highcommisioner is take an inventory of the items before he comes. Fix more CCTVs in the building.

MR might be casing the place for valuables. He might return with his 40 thieves at night

Making a case for a state sponsored trip to the UK. Gota and Sirisena will follow soon.

I can understand Ranil, playing the condolence game for the betterment of our country. To bring about sympathy, like long ago beggars, for extra donation and aid. I can only hope MR is similarly thinking of our general public, rather than having any real soft spot for the deceased monarch. While not really meaningful, persons of older generation should if they feel there is benefit for the country, go do the same at the British High Commission. A sacrifice of petrol and other expense to make the British believe we care so much for their deceased Queen. Inviting the new King to come here as soon as possible would be good in the long run for tourism too.

What audacity and affront from a criminal scumbag and murderer to condole to the last great monarch. That he was not wanted on the High Commission can be seen from the facial expression of the British lady standing behind him.

IF MR WAS STILL IN POWER HE WOULD HAVE TAKEN A SRI LANKAN AIRLINES AIRCRAFT FILLED WITH ALL HIS RELATIVES, FRIENDS AND NEIGHBOURS TO THE UK AT TAXPAYERS EXPENSES.

If 6.9 voted for these goons, then they too are corrupt, and/or uneducated and constantly on the look out for anything free or worth robbing
