    The four Scouts look very smart but sending them to London for the coronation of the new King (74 years old) is a disgrace to Sri Lanka, given that the British Criminal Empire existed primarily as the private property of the British Royal Family.

    Who pay for all these trip? While people are struggling for end meets?. This is why gov increased tax to fund these fun activities? It looks like Modi or Pakistan or Bangladesh PM did not attend.
