Disasater,
Dear Dayasiri ( the SLFP Secretary)
Did SLFP Nomination Board meet and agree to nominate this deadwood in the Polonnaruwa District?
Mate Dayasiri, if SLFP nominates this clown in it’s Polonnaruawa District list, the SLFP will not only lose baddly in Polonnaruwa but lose all over the country.
Please Dayasiri, we have seen this CLOWN destroy the Great SLFP from 2015-2019. It is best that we give this CLOWN a pension and tell him to go away and find a job in a Circus.
Dear Ravi
DISASTER ______Yes Disaster for the Clown ________ Definitely NOT for the Country. This man will be a poor show even in a Circus . He is a lifeless Pambaya ( a scarecrow ) in a clown’s garb .He will be
happy in HIS own surroundings in a Polonnaruwa paddy field.

This is dead wood. Barry him face down.
Finland has just announced a Prime Minister, 34 year old lady.
The dinasuars that lead our nation, in government, in opposition and all over the place are an insult to our nationhood.
He should retire and write a book title “How to paralysis a country without using weapons” by Pabaya.
Hey Ranjith,
What can we do with these dinosaurs?
This person is an expert cut-throat.
He cut the throat of the R Family and then he cut the throat of Yahapalana.
Now he is cutting the throat of the SLFP.
