I received this joker's election handbill in my post box and found that his PhD is not done in English as the content of the handbill in English was atrocious to say the least - and was our Minister of education. Spelling and grammer were unimaginable.

Remember How the JVP backed trade unions organized all these strikes in the past in the country and brought the country to its knees for their petty political gains, including the state universities.

Majority of the Trade Unions are damaging economy. For labour justice, anyone can seek justice under Labour Law.

You have no say in the matter. You guys ruined the country. Just get to your corner and watch the 'good stuff' come out with much much less corruption.
