All these crooks are Srilankans alright but are the very people who the western world are trying to Molly coddle going against the majority Sinhalese. Very seldom the majority community get involved in these. Very soon they will have to decide between good and bad.

Serious HR Violations by the British. Discrimination against their race and culture. They should just let them go home respecting their HR and dignity.
