"Next time you want to buy underwear from Marks & Spencer, you want to buy a t-shirt from Next, you want to go on a holiday of a lifetime in a beautiful island off the coast off India - Do you really want to spend your money on a government that chooses to lock 300,000 people up behind barbed-wire.

A country that is the most dangerous in the world to be a journalist.

A country where we can see on Channel 4 News, young men, naked and bound shot at close range.

Is that what we want for our money, for our democracy?

I ask you to not only support the emergency resolution on Sri Lanka but to use your money and not prop up that government,"
