why so naff, why so late?

BTF, bit of a naff route. Why was it not possible to secure a route to Trafalgar Square?
Infact, why have BTF taken this long to organise another march, now that the only the weak and vulnerable have been left half-dead in the internment camps?

Still, better late than never.

The march was planned in a hurry and it is with regret that we note that a long planned event from esteemed Amnesty International is going to be distracted.

The people who needs to be saved are not just the 278 792 people in the camps around Vavuniya instead every Tamil in the island. One could argue it is for the benefit of Sinhaleese too as the minority coalition of hardliners will not let even the main opposition MPs into the camps.

Come to the march.
