They won't discuss at all but the number has gone over 800,000. They are still killing saying terrorism. As if they cannot protect their borders.

Jayasiri - The day we do not have to go with the begging bowl to countries such a Britain, then we could say what we want until then we have to ear humble pie. We depend on Britain for our exports of tea , garments and British tourists, training programs and so forth.

Oh God, We are such a glorious country and feel proud to be a Sri Lankan as we are the only country who could get rid of terrorism totally.

I think the developed world is facinated by SL and the First Family hence all the attention on the guise of discussing plight of tamils which incidentally has improved drastically

British hands off Sri lanka. Down with Britian. Our MPs should debate over millions of civilian deaths by the British army in Iraq and Afghanistan

The British Parliament can debate anyy subject. What they are debating is the future of their relations with Sri Lanka and whether they wish to have relations with a rogue state.

Oh God indeed.....Judging by the number of defence personnel and police still highly visible on the streets of Colombo, the Gov does not exactly give the impression of terrorism being eliminated 'totally'. And with Mervyn reinstated and the President now with literally unlimited power of life and death over every citizen some sections of the community may wonder if the country is not facing a new form of terrorism.

A Democratic Honorable State shows transparency and legality in its actions to her citizens. A state that is elected democratically but tacitly practices illegality is not only a disgrace internationally but also a shame on the citizens it represents.
