How can you justify a criminal being given five star treatment in prisons? Is MR mad?

MR and his family has taken things to a personal level rather than looking at whats good for the country. They accuse SF and the opposition parties of plotting a coup at TRansasia but the funny thing is that only SF is arrested. They have not taken any statements from any of the opposition leaders like RW, Somawansa etc for attempting to commit such a grave crime including the murder of the royal family. This shows they have nothing against people like RW, Somawansa, Anura Kumara etc but have a personal hate towards a SF. Agitates look of GR while giving interviews to BBC shows how much hate is brewing inside them. They see SF a grave threat compared to RW when it comes to the conglomerate that the Rajapakse family is in the process of building.

MR talks about five star treatment to a quarters that does not even have an AC. And having to read only the Daily News and Observer should be a crime by itself.

Having to read dailynews in his prison cell should be classified as TORTURE!   I haven't read the daily news for a long time now.

SF should not be in prison.[mistake n if you will]
If he is in prison, he should be treated like a prisoner [n+1]

MR wants the cake to keep and eat

He can't have it both ways. It's ridiculous to be proud of the fact that your prisoners are getting 5 star treatment,,,, not that I think that this idi0t knows that 5 star means a standard that includes IDD to every room, 250 rooms and a swimming pool etc.

It's all your fault Romeo.

Knowing that your predictions were/are/will be always right (of course you predicted a win for Obama!), you should have predicted victory for SF. He wouldn't be in jail today.

In Sri Lanka there are two justice systems, one for the supporters of the Royal Family and the other for the poor and the opponents of the Royal family.
As a Sri Lankan, I am ashamed and saddened by what is happening in my country. Following is a heart rending letter written by a missing journalist.

Hi RM,

When our friend Romeo predicted a win for MR, the SF camp was ecstatic because they immediately thought that it would be like Romeo's earlier prediction about the US election. Hopes skyrocketed, and SF thought that the presidency was in the bag.

Then the most unlikely thing happened. Romeo's prediction came true!

Now our friend is bragging that he was always spot on when it comes to election prediction.

The old roadside palm-reader is out of a job now! There's a fashionable air-conditioned office (with an Anarkali like secretary) in its place saying: Romeo, the Palm Reader - Money back if untrue!

Now, now... you KNOW that's Completely Wrong and Utter Disinformation ! A host of officers, ex-deserters and hangers-on were arrested - and some subsequently released by court. Reported right here on TLA.

Or perhaps RW, Somawansa et al were smart enough to dress the Swan up as a Bullock and make sure none of the dirt would stick on them. Or they were smart enough to distance themselves when the General started firing off like the loose political cannon that he has proven himself to be.

Of Course They Do! They have said so in Plain Language - The man is plotting to overthrow, by military means, the legitimately elected government of a country". And whatever I have read so far seems to bear that out.  
Or are you one of those people who consider the arsonist bent on burning down your home as "no grave threat" ?

Poor General.. can't live without an AC. I guess the whole of General's House must have been air-conditioned, eh ? Not !

I had forgotten all about Obby. Thanks for reminding me. and ofcourse, gulty as charged. I have a 100% success rate in SL only. Logish (logical) since this is where most of my exposure is. I thought Americans were stupid and rascist but it turned out they are colorblind too.

It's about the balls SF dared to display by challenging the King that have gotten him into this mess.... and maybe its ballOTS and not balls... fonnie may be released after the elections when Rajapaka has won again.

Romeo, here is a prestigious assignment for
the clairvoyant in you:

who wins by how much margin in the parliamentary elections ?

There is no deadline, no negative points, so take your time.
 Predict when able.
