This piece of deft reporting from the Standard won't be receiving the attention the BBC lavished on the Tamil Tiger supporters demonstrating on Parliament Square. The Tigers seem to have a lock on several Labour councillors and some MPs. Which is presumably why people displaying the Tiger banner are being allowed to demonstrate at a cost so far to the Met/tax payer of £8 million, notwithstanding the LTTE being banned as a terrorist organisation by the EU,US and UK. The Observer also published on Sunday a good investigation into the Tigers cynical use of child soldiers.
