Why are all these politicians always going to Jaffna whenever they come to Sri Lanka. They never go to the marginal lands of Sinhalese people who are the greatest sufferers in the LTTE war through no fault of theirs.

Since Sweden’s central bank cut its main interest rate even further below zero on Thursday - a few days ago to -.25percent, please give us a loan of 500M Kroner to help us at 1 percent interest p.a. They do not know what to do with their money.
