"Inquiries that I have made reveal that £7 million-worth of [UK] arms were licensed for delivery to Sri Lanka in the last quarter for which figures are available," Joan Ruddock, a ruling Labour party MP, told the House Wednesday during a landmark debate on Sri Lanka.

Clearly....hypocritical!

UK government wants to stop money reaching LTTE so that LTTE can pursue a non-violent answer to the conflict, but sells weapons to Sri-lankan government... so they can pursue a violent answer to the conflict? i guess its to be expected from a government which lied about iraq having WMDs so that it can steal the oil from iraq.

BBC's London News did a piece of a temple funds being held by the police because of supposed links to the LTTE, the reporter had no clue about the sri-lankan war, everything was based on post 9/11 thinking. the problem with the media is that it doesnt need hard evidence to say someone is guilty, its guilty until proven innocent, but then they dont care if you are innocent.

UK is selling weapons which kill tamil people. then UK takes the moral high ground saying they are after peace.
