SRI Lanka has launched a poster campaign inviting would-be Tamil Tiger suicide bombers to phone a government helpline in exchange for 10 million rupees (£45,000) and a new life overseas.
"Why should you die with a scattered body?" the posters ask.

The full article contains 49 words and appears in The Scotsman newspaper.

I suppose that, at least in theory, we could all be 'would be' suicide bombers if we'd get a check for £45,000 and a 'new life' overseas? Although, I rather imagine it doesn't make much difference when you're dead whether your body is intact or 'scattered'?

In the small print
As you are a asylum seeker escaping from persecution in your homeland
The British will provide you with a passport, free housing etc and the opportunity to develop your bombing skills free of charge with the added opportunity of being able to claim against imprisonment etc etc.

If you are sent back to Sri Lanka we will tell the British to take a run and jump.

Here it is again: a subject which is of vast importance to us all and yet what does the Scotsman do?

They give it all of one paragraph plus a single sentence.

The people in charge of the Scotsman are truly daft.
Cheers from the Rockies
