The David Cameron “Walk Out”: The refusal to speak as political action
- 22 NOVEMBER 2013
- BY VIHANGA PERERA
The
refusal to interact should not be marked as a simple act of
“cowardice”. This would be the misreading of a self-congratulatory Sri
Lankan press and polity; for David Cameron and the UK — unlike what
Muttiah Muralitharan claims — have NOT “misread” the ground situation in
Sri Lanka. Cameron had a right not to co-operate to a journalistic
lobby. It is a choice granted to him by the democratic codes that govern
social play. The watchdogs of the (sic) “nation” who ram Cameron for
his “walk out” are merely “upset” that their stocked vent was not spent.
It should not be mistaken with “absence of democracy” on Cameron’s
part.
