UK is not a friend of Sri Lanka. They had supported the LTTE and their cause throughout the whole period. British foreign policy is dictated by LTTE and the British government would like to see a divided Sri Lanka. Best position that we (Sri-Lankans) can take is to keep out distance from UK and treat them like a country.

But then our "patriotic" Minister, Weerawansa, wants to boycott American products. Wonder how that will affect our exports to USA.

LTTE was banned in the UK, while IRA is not yet banned in Sri Lanka. However, even the English language itself is more than enough to thank the UK. Railway system, almost all the high ranking Schools, and the Colombo and Peradeniya Universities etc are all the awards that Sri Lanka received thanks to the UK occupation in Sri Lanka. In addition to the direct export-import ties, many Sri Lankans work in the UK, and send a significant amount of foreign currency to the country. Also it is the most powerful in the EU. Diplomatic relationships between Sri Lanka and the UK, must be made much more stronger than its present status.. Government should pay immediate attention on this.

Disgraceful. Why would we wish to trade with this despotic nation ?

what a joke of a comment!! LTTE was banned in UK because it was active there and IRA is not active in SL to be banned here. But ban is only eyewash and not implemented and it was done only in order to maintain UK's credibility as a nation fighting terrorism. The writer seems to think that railways, universities were built by english colonialists for the benefit of us; while reverse was the truth. And Germany is by far the most powerful in EU and not UK, an ailing former colonial power which in the near future may lose even U in their name !!

Same way it will not affect SL when UK housed and permitted the LTTE supporters and groups to operate on their soil?
