Rajiva Wijesinha’s Blog
I just discovered that Rajiva Wijesinha (National List MP, potential Foreign Minister) has a blog. Which he updates, like, daily. Which makes him a better blogger than me. The posts are a bit long but interesting. He hammers the Sunday Leader pretty good, has a say about Rudyard Kipling, etc. It’s all a bit over my head and long and I must say I don’t entirely trust the man, but it is an interesting and frequently updated blog. By a government spokesman, but still. He seems to say what he thinks.

This is highly dubious. Miss Travel is a travel/social networking site that connects ‘Generous’ and ‘Attractive’ travelers. To, like, travel together, I guess. It all seems a bit like arranged prostitution and trafficking. This is part of a broader online trend to connect rich men to younger, attractive women. Sites like 
Sri Lankan domestics never say anything, they just stop coming. My maid just stopped coming and when I finally pressed her she said I needed to get a washing machine. I was hoping to ride this one out, but I’ve run out of underwear and I have no choice. I finally caved and bought a washing machine, from 
He is such an a-hole who was up in arms against the legit channel-4 video showing army personnel massacaring blindfolded men. Most think he’s a loser with no life.

Most think? Most of the Tamils, Ngots and other parasites?
I think he would make a fantastic foreign minister. His writings show that he has absolutely no party loyalty. His loyalty to his country on the other hand is beyond question.
His writing show more than a semblance of intelligence & intellectualism, which is more than I can say of the overwhelming majority of the public servants in this country.
Agree. He would make an awesome foreign minister.
And you know it was legit how?
Rajiva Wijesinha? That bloody hypocrite? K
The hypocrite has his ass closed so we can’t comment there. Rajiva Wijesinha is a hypocritical, dishonest propagandist of this government. No wonder his a-blog is closed for comments.
I think you are projecting your ugly qualities onto him.
If this guy is really Machiavellian hypocrite, it would make far more qualified to be the foreign minister than any goodie two shoes can ever be.
He would definitely make a better foreign minister than Bogollagama. But the fact remains he’s big, goddamn hypocrite, whose so-called-liberalism has gone up his rectum.
Apparently GL Peiris is going to be SL’s next foreign minister.
I think it’s Nimal Siripala
this is must read blog these days. He has alot to say about the panel. And it’s not insinuation from behind the curtain. His claims are evidenced for the most part.
Rajiva is yet another clown in the foreign ministry circus. He can’t actually prove any of his claims, so he engages in endless semantic games to try to wear out his opponent.
Says Heshan without the slightest sense of irony…
Well, since you can’t understand basic macroeconomics, I doubt you could understand the polysyllabic Rajiva. You’d probably subscribe to his drivel the same as you do with DJ’s Marxist BS.
Did I mention the “comments” section?

Rajiva-style democracy : )
I had great respect for Rajiva when he was my boss at British Council many many years ago…but sadly he too has become another Government sycophant aka “Useful Idiots” like Dosthara The Yarn and David Black & Decker and many supposedly educated people living in Silly Lunket.

John Sweeney explores why it was that so many supposedly intelligent people were manipulated by dictators over the 20th Century into saying good things about bad regimes.

I have listened to Prof. Wijesinha’s arguments on New Zealand Radio recently and he is eloquent, respectful and more importantly, his points are sound. I did not detect any partisan politics but he would make a brilliant ambassador to the battered country of Sri Lanka. The damage that the recent UK’s Channel 4 documentary “Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields” is doing is apparently unjust and unfair but the Sri Lankan authorities have not put up a credible explanation to the program apart from shouting it is all a fake. They could do well by appointing a commission preferably headed by Prof. Wijesinha, to look into the allegations made by Channel 4, make an official complaint to UK’s Broadcasting watchdog for the biased broadcasting and demand a retraction.
I highly doubt a Raijiva-headed commission would accomplish anything concrete. Most likely, this is what would happen:
1. State the problem
2. Restate the problem
3. Restate the problem again
4. Examine the converse of the problem
5. Restate the problem again
6. Find a different problem altogether
7. Restate the different problem
1-7 is pretty much the gist of Rajiva’s oratorical arguments. He’ll go in circles without ever addressing the actual problem, and then shift the blame to the LTTE, by which time the interviewer will have run out of time.
