Passing the Baton and the beating the Police Baton Polla

Passing the Baton and the beating the Police Baton Polla

This piece is bit spicy.

We have moved from the community spirits of passing the baton (responsibility) to beating the baton (iron fist of the police) mentality.

It is all due to family brandism and now the baton is passed exclusively within a family.

This in addition has mutated to passing the buck dualism.

From DS it passed to Dudley.

Thanks to vociferous left Dudley left politics and lived up to old age as a common man.

JR was in the background and was incubating hate to the entire nation.

Real destruction started with SWRD who introduced racism and religion to politics and sadly Sirima took the baton after his demise and even the army was brought into the forefront to destroy JVP.

People were killed in the bread queues with socialist not having a recovery program to fill the empty coffers.

Manioc was the staple food of the poor.

Nobody helped except perhaps China with rice (started from Sir John Kotalawala)

Sir John left to UK saying it was far better to hunt foxes than doing politics in Ceylon.

It was then lovingly called Ceylon.

Only one who did not have a formal family (he may have fathered out of wedlock).

JVP was an aberration in our politics (one phrase is enough to describe it in entirety).

Ranasingha (called running (duvana) president by the LTTE) Premada having used army to throttle JVP extended his hands to LTTE and programed his own death.

JRJ was in between and introduced a bizarre constitution of his family.

His son was a STF man and is no more.

Anura to Chandrika was family brandism with a arm twist.

Chandrika twisted the arm of his brother and continued to cajole with the defunct left.

That is the period of anarchy in this country.

Unfortunately I was abroad and returned to see the rejuvenation of this country.

I was proved absolutely wrong.

The last stage of the family brandism is now in display.

We thought we reversed the trend in 2015.

MS who took the baton turned backwards on the masses and went backward and handed over the baton to the last man in the relay team.

He has a family but he could not brand it quick enough.

What an upshot and RW was passing the buck of the central bank and still have to form a family of his convicts.

Then the son of Premadasa is going to take the family baton in style and I bet he would fail (by ruining the party his father started by eliminating Gaminie and Athulkathmudali and many more).

While all these happening another family is benefiting while doing sweet nothing (except stirring racism) in the process but wanting to go back to beating the Police Baton Polla mentality.

We use the baton as a polla to hit or slavery and not as a proverbial relay of responsibility.
