#SriLanka 's ruling party MP S.B. Dissanayake says ‘boys will be boys, don’t blame only Danushka". He goes on to victim blame suggesting involvement of prostitutes & also suggests Australian law is too strict. 1/ themorning.lk/s-b-says-boys-…
Is this your position @PoduJanaPeramun?Isn't this perfect for your #visitsrilanka campaign @fernandoharin? Boys will be boys, they might rape you but we will call you a prostitute in our courts. Mind you this is a MP who already went to jail for defaming the Supreme court. 2/
And with allegations of sexual harrassment from athlete Susanthika Jayasinghe. @OfficialSLC Isn't it time you deal with this disgraceful incident like a professional body? 3/
What an amazing display of gentleman's sport to promote #SriLanka tourism @fernandoharin!
I bet @sltda_srilanka can welcome the whole world to this amazingly warm #LKA with these statements from the former Cricket manager Charith Senanayake not to mention mysgonistic jokes. 1/
Is the @AusHCSriLanka aware of the strong support of #RapeCulture amongst the Sri Lankans in Australia? This is not a stereotype but I would strongly quiz those who apply to migrate about Consent & what they think about it. Even women seems to support rape & this is shocking.3/
I felt terribly sick on Saturday. Sore throat, flu symptoms, heavy head. My rapid test is negative. All my friends have #COVID19. Literally everyone. 349 cases in my kids school last week.Overcrowded and zero #ventilation. Sick teachers & sick kids. @ScholaEuropaea@JHahnEU 1/
On Sunday the Far right of 🇪🇺 comes to Brussels to create appalling chaos. The unspeakable violence...the politicians scape goating others... It's a lawless crowd & they don't hear our prayers. 2/
Belgian 🇧🇪Twitter Pandemic experts fight over CST: vaccine obligations. Yeah, in this first world, this is the drama. My right to not wear a face covering or take a vaccine. Not about the health consequences of the children & vulnerable. 😥 3/
🌹First they said it doesn’t affect kids, it’s just the elderly. I didn't speak out because I was not old.
🌹 Then, they said don’t panic it’s just the sick & only those with comorbidities. I didn't speak out because I was not vulnerable.

🌹 Next, they said it’s ok if kids spend some days in hospital. I didn't speak out because my kids were not in hospital.
🌹Then, they said it's very few who get #LongCovid & #MISC post Covid. I didn't speak out because my kids didn't have side effects. 2/4
🌹Then,they said #childhospitalisations are high. But don't panic. They are hospitalised #withCovid and not #forCovid. I didn't speak out because my kids were asymptomatic. 3/4
I talk to friends who are not on Twitter. They know nothing of #childhospitalisations in the 🇺🇸US, 🇬🇧UK, 🇫🇷France, 🇧🇪Belgium & 🇿🇦South Africa etc. #omicron is mild, they hear. Kids hardly get sick.Are we in a #Twitterbubble? Why do we act like #NorthKorea? 1/2
When will the media break the Omerta? Why are only the frontline medics/academics speaking out? What is the role of media? Who controls the media? Why do we accept passively this #LetItRip hypnosis? For God's sake #ProtectOurChildren !!! Everyone has #Therighttoknow 2/2
🇦🇺 Australia was doing so well...
What happened?
🌹The only example Australia is providing to the world now is a warning about what not to do with the Covid-19 pandemic. 1/ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
🌹With the new New South Wales premier, Dominic Perrottet, in charge, the chief health officer Kerry Chant was sidelined as the new policy to “let it rip” was rolled out. 2/
🌹15 December 2021 was a pivotal moment in the pandemic.
🌹The population was softened up with a false narrative that “Omicron causes mild disease”, “this could be the gift we have been waiting for”, and “this could end the pandemic.” 3/
