Royal Mail apologises over 'Tamil Tiger' stamps

How about prosecuting the user for violating the 'terms and conditions" of printing personalized stamps - which the user explicitly agree before submitting the request?

otherwise this will show that Royal Mail discriminate when it comes to prosecuting users who break the terms of printing personalized stamps.

It is very interesting to note the internationalization of SriLankan politics.As long as justice to Tamil minority is not handed out within the bounds of SriLanka ,one can not expect LTTE activity to cease. It is like the perpetuation of JVP politics within the political structure of SriLanka.As long as the problems of youth are not addressed by the state JVP is expected to survive. My question is whether the current system of SriLankan society and economy is capable of solving burning problems in the north and south of SriLanka to keep the island in peace. For that I think we need secular politics without a ias to religion, ethnicity, caste etc.

Apologies alone not enough. Find and prosecute those responsible. Those stamps were an insult to all Sri Lankans.

Royal Post has lowered itself by appoligizing accussed war criminals who are scared of facing international inquiry.

Well Done Royal Mail! Do Sri Lankan Government Institutions ever admit to, or apologise for, making a mistake?

I don't think at present any distress has been caused, though impending distress is foreseen for the future. How about MI 5/6 investigating the people behind the account now the identity is known?

It is manifestly clear that Britain's Royal Mail has been play acting. Sri Lankans are not that dumb!!

This stamps will have a phitalatic value in future as it was printed by Royal Mail,and later cancelled,worth collecting as it was printed by Royal Mail and withdrawn later.One of the rarest incidents in the history of phitialitic.

The Royal Mail has belittled itself by having to apologize for the mistake of permitting the issuance of a postage stamp bearing the dead leader of a terrorist organization which has been internationally proscribed.
