We will still be paying the tab for Ranil's ex-President luxury comforts as long as he and his wife are still alive.
President Premedasa's wife still gets treated with ex=Presidential comforts, so Mrs Wickremesinghe can push for the same.

It is unpleasant to see our President in these photos dressed in denims. I already have a worst impression about his trip for how he presents himself.
I already believed it was futile with regard to procuring no strings attached aid and more to do with Ranil just going a fun trip to show off his new status.
All others in the photos are dressed better than Ranil and look more postive Ranil seems to have been caught off guard and his Mr Bean type expression makes him look more a fool than even Mr Bean, who at least is shown to dress better.

The need of the hour, when the people are struggling and having a meal a day. RW flies for queens funeral while his own people die of poverty and malnourishment. For those who blame MR clan, this guy was installed by MR clan and he protects them and their wealth.

This does not look in anyway like the Ranil which UNP MP Wajira claims other world leaders are afraid of.
Ranil is dressed in white (no collar) t-shirt and denim and thoroughly mismatched suit jacket. Ranil complained on TV some time back about Imthiaz Bakeer Markar (SJB MP) for wearing not being dressed well enough.
Ranil looks more like a don't care retired man with money enough that he can pay for business class for leisure travel.
Ranil must think of our nation and the impression he conveys when he travels on behalf of our nation. His dress for the occasion is disgraceful.

It would be good if our President is able to meet both the new King and the Prime Minister of the UK. Otherwise our our President's trip just to pay respects for the deceased seems quite a waste of our limited dollars.

Ranil is lucky man in this respect .Goata was appointed for five years and yet his luck run out and he is replaced with Ranil. What a twist of fate..In fact it should have gone to Goata and what unlucky man was Goata in this respect..
politics is very precarious and unpredictable career .
You are president today and next you are running out of the country
You are PM today and next day you end up in jail
You are Minister today and next day you are beated up by people .
You are friend today and the next day you could become enemy in politics .
Ranil you should learn something about law and order after this trip and do not put protestors in jail

President is travelling in jeans, either he is ignorant or he is a cool guy who does not give a rats arse to British protocol. I wish to believe the latter .

Is he wearing a pair of denim trousers? If so, is that suitable attire for a president to wear for such a "Royal" occasion ??

it would have been a healing act to the nation suffering and sad due the economic toil of the moment , if the media was discreet on the overseas travels of their President .

Hope he wears a proper suit and not jeans to the funeral procession.

Hi Ranil, make sure your begging bowl is empty like wise your foxy brain!

Good to arrive in a pair of jeans. Says it all really. I guess the country can't become any more embarrassing anyway.

Hope the Demilos don’t provide a daily adulation chorus outside your hotel window. Also remind everyone that we are the beggars from South Asia and our plight s due to the British not ensuring that we were sufficiently mature for independence and we are soliciting aid, money, charity, left overs, oil, medicines, food, discards etc.

Queen never cared for gay guys, this Ranil Rajapaksa was not a welcomed guest at the queen’s funeral. This guy came to power on Kaputas back and he is a illegal and he is nothing but a Rajapaksa cock sucker.
