I am sorry to interrupt my hon. Friend's flow. She mentioned that the Government of Sri Lanka have run a successful PR campaign, but does she agree that if Members of Parliament receive one more photograph—we seem to be receiving such photographs hourly—of a Government of Sri Lankan soldier cradling a Tamil child, it will have completely the opposite affect of that intended? I am starting to doubt seriously the veracity of that propaganda—not that I had an enormous amount of belief in it in the first place—because it there is simply too much and it is too indiscriminate.
