Even though the DailyError is riddled with examples mis/disinformation, it is also dangerous to outright believe the PM's office itself is telling the truth. Political offices are notorious for their own mis/disinformation. Take what either says with a sack full of salt.

LKA’s top households were the biggest beneficiaries of the subsidies. But the recovery put a disproportionate burden on the lowest households to pay up for the excesses of the rich.

Israeli’s visit another country, damage private property & attacks locals. Locals hit back. Media & politicians hangout the locals to dry. Israeli’s get a free pass. All too familiar sequence that underpins the existence of the Israel state. Media & political leaders are cowards.

I got unsolicited SMS from candidates contesting in CMB when I vote in Gampaha. If they can’t event target their own promotions, you can only but imagine how pathetic they are at targeting policies & interventions. No wonder these same politicians have ruined the nation.

Posts on Jaffna polls are giving me a headache. This ‘islandwide unity’ is rooted in Sin-Bud nationalist imaginary (එක්සේසත් කිරීම). NPP and the South is yet to win the trust of Tamils and Muslims. Push the new gov to dispel decades of mistrust and then we can think of ‘unity’.

Get ready for the Samagi Jana Balawegaya excuse for the next 5 years - "gov has a 2/3 majority, so what we do doesn't mean a thing" - as they again fail to turn up or vote for crucial policies and laws in parliament.

I don't expect fireworks from NPP Srilanka for a couple of budget cycles. Expect them to remain within RW/IMF policies with minor tweaks in the short term. Unlikely will abolish EP & repeal PTA, might amend them. Anticipate a new wave of corruption led by JVP stalwarts.

Seeing this man finally voted out of politics now is a win too late for me, considering he should have been kicked out after his antics during the constitutional coup.

Don't wait another 76 years to sweep the corrupt and inept out of the parliament. Anyone would be foolish to think the incoming lot is devoid of corruption. Then again, LKA voters do live in cuckoo land until the shit falls on their plate.

NPP is a majority with a minority mentality. Not surprising though, considering in LKA every majority in any space acts like the minority.

Melani Gunathilaka Gayara De Silva I would add to this to say Sri Lankans are not *un*ethical as a rule but they are broadly speaking *flexibly* ethical. The ethical standards they are willing to adhere to are infinitely and generously mutable and changeable depending very often on the benefit to themselves.

Wait until they come across a mysterious gov agency called.......... MIB lol

Couldn't self-incriminate oneself harder than this. SJB never was a viable option. Even worse, they continue to showcase why they never will be, gloriously failing to carve out their political position.

#LKA folks on X, anyone has leads of office transports operating through Nawala and Bambalapitiya? Please DM me the details. Many thanks in advance 🙏🏾

Nick Ferrari has to be the scummiest of scummy people. "Tunnel vision" when 50k plus Palestinian civilians have been indiscriminately & deliberately killed?

It is unfortunate the least moral lot of society are those tasked with creating laws, and so laws wait until irreversible damage is done to be changed, only for then politicians to claim the moral ground they long had abandoned.

Fanon argued that colonialism creates a "thing" out of the colonized, leading them to internalize the colonizer's values and even emulate their oppressive behavior. He warned that simply replacing the colonizer with a native elite, while maintaining the same structures of power
