The Met too has joined in withdrawing security to absolute minimum outside the Dorchester Hotel. If there are arrests of many of the huge presidential entourage occupying many floors of the Dorchester tomorrow then it will be the Met who will have to carry them out.
The Met has given permission to the demo tomorrow! There isn't enough to kettle the masses in.
Most of all considerable number of Sinhalese are protestesting asking for justice.
Yet Mahinda Rajapakse is protected by diplomatic immunity that had been 'guaranteed' as had leaked in Indian press.
Who guranteed such immunity to a private visit.?
This visit had clearly listed long standing friendship between Dr. Liam Fox and the Rajapakse brothers - a friend in need. The 'friendship' had consolidated within the sidelines of the Shangri-La dialogue, which is nothing other than an arms fair, for many years now.
The inhuman slaughter of Tamils that had been evidenced by many US satellites in May 2009 are thrown a new light by the most recent WikiLeaks cables from US Ambassador to Sri Lanka Patricia Butenis.
The United States has urged Sri Lanka to ensure accountability and to promote reconciliation but has stopped short of supporting an international probe sought by activists. Still Ambassador Patricia Butenis had reported back in January
"In Sri Lanka this is further complicated by the fact that responsibility for many of the alleged crimes rests with the country's senior civilian and military leadership, including President (Rajapakse) and his brothers and opposition candidate General Fonseka,"
Thats leaves Dr Fox on his own trying to defend Rajapakse brothers.
Interesting.
Lets give the Tamils a hand in arresting the war criminal.

Now the Labour party are in opposition, they are suddenly coming out of the woodwork to "protest" against the Government!
Labour gave the go ahead for the Sri Lankans to wage this war against the Tamils and are fully implicated in the slaughter of tens of thousands of men women and children.
Bizaare that Socialist's should be coming out now to protest against the slaughter that their own Government helped bring about!
Fundamentally illegitimate and horribly dishonest.
Filthy Socialists
