Absolute disaster. Two senile running the country? madness. marriage from hell. Don’t forget the Volkswagen factory and to make the SL the economic hub of the world as this senile ba****d promised.
They will go on. Because, they are supported by the US, EU, UK, India, Tamils both inside and outside the country and the rest of the world. It is time to bring out evidence of billions stolen and deposited in Uganda, if anything else going to happen. Otherwise, Anura, Omalpe Kupitha, Malcolm can use papers inside those big files displayed just before the violence begun to wipe their backsides. Politically speaking, that is what called a master stroke. Children play Go-Go-Gama, grown up men play politics. Children can stay as long as they like in GO-Go-Gama until they get tired and their balls descend into sacs . Ranil will show the majority in the parliament easily with Pohottuwa support. Can’t go assaulting , burning and taking the law of the land into Anthare and other thugs’ hands any more either. Army will deal with it now. Thankfully, like in the Capitol Hill Riots, donkeys incriminated themselves by uploading their acts on media platforms to show the rest how powerful and beyond the law they were. Now, the pay back time begins.
Now the central bank governor should be Arjun Mhendran.
A real poor choice given this Mr. BondScam’s poor track record as the PM in earlier instances. However, it is known that Sajith was offered, but he was in fear-paralysis after getting a good whacking from rathu-sahodaraya thugs a few days ago. So, I guess there was no other choice because other parties are either communal minded parasites or rejected wholesale (with barely a couple of seats) like AKD of JVP – which in my view is not fit to lead even a local Dansala!
We in Gotagogama propose a name change to GoRaGoGama (Gota Ranil Go Gama).
