I only noticed a
snippet on Daily Mirror on line, informing us that the PM had LEFT for the US
on a private visit for a Medical Check up on the 27th of May and as
it was in the middle of the flood situation IT MUST have been pre-arranged or
been urgent enough for the PM to surreptitiously leave the Country.
Reading the comments in
the Daily Mirror, they were just a load of God Awful comments of an illiterate
class of JOKERS who just assumed he was a RAT who left a literally sinking ship.
While I agree the timing could NOT have been worse he is NOT one to publicize
his private visits as that is his nature and especially if they are medical, he
does not wish to get people all excited. No matter, once the PIN DROPS, our
Jhonnies will start speculating to the cows come home what this trip is all
about, and whether he is plotting some international regime change with Donald
Trump at one end, and if he is seriously ill on the other hand! FAKE NEWS RULES
OK!
Don’t we all remember
when Mahinda Rajapakse went for a check up to Texas and I believe he has a
brother there. The speculation amongst the UNP rank and file was that he had
cancer, and would be dead in weeks, a totally unfounded rumor which even the
higher ups of the UNP seemed to believe was true!
If I have learned
anything from that episode, I know it is as usual a few days late that our
gossip mongers will start their rumor mongering to try and discredit the PM and
will start a string of rumors that will get this Country talking and the
Newspapers scurrying for their own take on the scoop. I implore the reader NOT
to believe any of them, as it is a private visit and if it is for an operation
it will take two weeks of hospitalization and recuperation before he can come
back home to carry on his normal duties feeling better or fitter.
We know he is a
diabetic and has to take his medication religiously and all those who are
chronically ill know what it is like to be so incapacitated and with the PM who
is in the public eye it is important that he keeps to his rigorous schedule
that would make other mortals cringe with exhaustion! Diabetics have a related
problem of heart failure and in that sense it is possible that he had gone for
something like a stent to be inserted.
Then there is
speculation that the STATE would have to foot the bill! Well knowing the PM he
will fund it himself, or have the DONALD pay for it as he is Uncle Sam’s lackey,
as his opponents wish to label him! Unlike the millions MR took for paying
Duminda in Singapore, I don’t think the PM will bother our treasury, so cut him
some slack. Lets face it we have a President in house! What did DIMU do during
MR’s time? SO I tell the naysayers to get a life!
What next!
