You lived almost 19 years in SL but you never fought for the rights of Sri Lankans and you never voiced against the crimes that LTTE committed on your own people( at least nothing as such has been reported about yourself) but you decided to champion the British whatever - for what? You may be thinking that you are British, and we know that you are proud of it but the fact of the matter is that &quot;they&quot; are not proud of YOU being British and not ready to accept you as one. So please, stop playing white and get on with life. <img src="http://www.dailymirror.lk/DM_BLOG/Sections/img/dm_comment.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Posted By: Rajiva&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; This silly man cooked his own goose ... and in a right royal way.<img src="http://www.dailymirror.lk/DM_BLOG/Sections/img/dm_comment.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Posted By: mahinda banadarage&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I was against wat Mr Deva did in my last comment in the earlier version of this news, but I think Deva has a point...how can someone serve if he cant understand, the place he works is highly ethnically diversified area (about 50+ ethnic groups)....Anyway i think Mr Deva bit too much also<img src="http://www.dailymirror.lk/DM_BLOG/Sections/img/dm_comment.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Posted By: ishan&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; This guy must be a real&nbsp; &nbsp; .

Also this incident teaches us that we live in a plural linguistic global environment where no body can ignore the others simply speaking any other language than his own. We specially learn lessons from this incident as we know very well that Britain has developed and expanded in every spare of life because it used to respect the human kind irrespective of his/her language,race and religion. <img src="http://www.dailymirror.lk/DM_BLOG/Sections/img/dm_comment.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Posted By: Marikkar&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Good for the fellow.

Before Mr. Deva tries to be a an &quot;adopted British citizen&quot; he must understand some of these {so-called) Western values, that discrimination has no place (at least on paper) and that no one can &quot;force&quot; another person to learn an alien language, just because they are in a foreign country. This is what happens when some &quot;kalu suddas&quot; try to be more British than the native British themselves - the result is that they will have no identity at all. <img src="http://www.dailymirror.lk/DM_BLOG/Sections/img/dm_comment.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Posted By: Nadee&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Marikkar: I will support your view if you ask the Arabic countries to tolerate other religious faiths also.

[QUOTE="AtulaSiriwardane, post: 4215431, member: 120286"] [FONT=Arial]Sri Lankan postmaster in UK sacked...again[/FONT] [IMG]http://www.dailymirror.lk/DM_BLOG/TagImg/NO%20TAG.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.dailymirror.lk/DM_BLOG/ArticleImages/jpw4lpzzufsqxu55mitub3qm_post-master.jpg[/IMG]A Sri Lankan sub-postmaster who lost his job after refusing to serve his customers unless they spoke English has been sacked from his new job as well, the UK media reported. Deva Kumarasiri, 40, told his customers at Sneinton Boulevard post office in Nottingham that it was imperative they spoke English so he could understand them and stop queues building up. After he went public with his demand, the Sri Lankan was forced to leave his post office and move to another in the city. But when Mr Kumarasiri went in to work yesterday he was told by the agency that employed him that he had been replaced, the Telegraph reported.

You lived almost 19 years in SL but you never fought for the rights of Sri Lankans and you never voiced against the crimes that LTTE committed on your own people( at least nothing as such has been reported about yourself) but you decided to champion the British whatever - for what? You may be thinking that you are British, and we know that you are proud of it but the fact of the matter is that "they" are not proud of YOU being British and not ready to accept you as one. So please, stop playing white and get on with life.

Not listening to any of his superiors, Just Like SL. Where ever he goes he gets sacked.

Looks like non-English speakers (mostly terrorists!) have already taken over the country. Shame, shame.

[IMG]http://www.dailymirror.lk/DM_BLOG/Sections/img/dm_comment.gif[/IMG] [COLOR=gray]Posted By: TRUE LANKAN [/COLOR] This should be a very good example for all those insist speaking a single language,leaving their own rather any other language. Also this incident teaches us that we live in a plural linguistic global environment where no body can ignore the others simply speaking any other language than his own. We specially learn lessons from this incident as we know very well that Britain has developed and expanded in every spare of life because it used to respect the human kind irrespective of his/her language,race and religion. [IMG]http://www.dailymirror.lk/DM_BLOG/Sections/img/dm_comment.gif[/IMG] [COLOR=gray]Posted By: Marikkar [/COLOR] Good for the fellow. As a Sri Lankan who would have also travelled to UK one should be more understanding when people struggle with English. [IMG]http://www.dailymirror.lk/DM_BLOG/Sections/img/dm_comment.gif[/IMG] [COLOR=gray]Posted By: kish [/COLOR] While it is essential to a great extent to learn English in this time and day, it is utterly nonsensical to discriminate someone based on their inability to speak that language. Before Mr. Deva tries to be a an "adopted British citizen" he must understand some of these {so-called) Western values, that discrimination has no place (at least on paper) and that no one can "force" another person to learn an alien language, just because they are in a foreign country. This is what happens when some "kalu suddas" try to be more British than the native British themselves - the result is that they will have no identity at all.
