Bruce the Traitor

It isn’t his unwillingness to do the right thing and resign his post as Prime Minister.

It isn’t his arrogance in defying the will of the people of this country.

It isn’t his supporters throwing their weight behind and obviously corrupt Prime Minister.

It isn’t about the fact that he lied to the people of this country.

Hell, Not even the fact that him tek we fi eediat, bout he acted as the head of the JLP and not the guvament.

It is that this man has pissed on the people who voted for him, pissed on the reputation (what’s left) of this country, pissed on all himself, pissed on you, and pissed on me, all for the sake of one shit house, battyhole, piece of shit, drug trafficking murderer inna Tivoli.

The Prime Minister has fucked over the country for political expediency, and now that his utter shame and disgrace is out in the open, further denigrates the office he clutches on to by not only refusing to resign but in displaying arrogance at defying the will of the very people he has betrayed.

This guvament which had never spared any opportunity to point out how corrupt the previous PNP admin was in their eighteen years at the helm, has seemingly, to all astonishment, eclipsed the fucked-upedness we endured for so long.

If you don’t agree with me, let me ask you, how much better does Portia look now compared to how you felt about her in 2007?

The revulsion you had for her has somewhat diminished hasn’t it?

…

What the hell does Dudus have over the JLP?

Why can’t the guvament do what it knows is right, and allow the criminal to be brought to justice?

…

Bruce has betrayed the people by lying to us, about the Mannat issue, he continues to betray the country by arrogantly refusing to apologize and resign, and ultimately bruce has betrayed any little trust the people of this country have ever had  in him as a person.

QUIT NOW ASSHOLE!

I come back to see this?!

Bruce, Audley and the rest insists that the guvament don’t have the money to pay its workers, that the guvament is having a difficult time meeting its targets, and that it has now become necessary for the guvament of Jamaica to re-establish a relationship with the IMF.

Ok, things are tough all over, so we understand not being able to pay your workers. Sure they will get upset at not getting money they believe to be due to them, but they understand hard economic times.

Now what is most fucking upsetting is that the can easily find 60 Million dollars to go refurbish the house Mike Henry occupies.

What the RASS?!

Most people struggle to find even the 5 Million for the house they want/can afford and have to make NHT contributions for years, but suddenly after announcing we going back to the IMF it now seems as if we can afford to utilize 60 million, that must have been lying idly somewhere, to spend on one house for a minister of guvament.

Let’s see the JLP supporters support this. After they tore into the PNP in the 1990’s about furniture scandal and how they fatten up their own pockets, only to come now and see this shit. But what makes it worse is that the barefaced red-man come tell me and you seh dem nuh have the money, dat dem can’t pay the people dem, hinting that they going to layoff civil servants, can’t pay the nurses or teachers or police, but can find 60 million fi dem friend.

Neither of the two political parties in this country gives a damn about you or me. It is time the whole of you wake up and realize that they are only in it for the power.

Nothing else.

…

I would call for a revolution but Jamaicans like sitting by and letting things be done to them.

Dem T’ink I Man Fool (IMF)?

Return to IMF now more likely

PM cites heavy demand for FX

BY ALICIA DUNKLEY, Observer staff reporter dunkleya@jamaicaobserver.com

Wednesday, June 10, 2009

Prime Minister Bruce Golding yesterday indicated that his administration may well enter into negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to prevent Jamaica’s Net International Reserves from buckling under the weight of demand for foreign exchange.

http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/news/html/20090610T020000-0500_153195_OBS_RETURN_TO_IMF_NOW_MORE_LIKELY.asp

Why do they insist on lying so much?

It was obvious to everybody that when the budget was tabled that it clearly was with the intent to appease the IMF in order to get loans from them. Tax on salt, books etc.

Who else would want to take more of our money and keep us stupid, other than rich white men who relish every opportunity to trample on the progress of black people.

For more evidence look at the 1980’s when Eddie was a borrow money from IMF, remember the concessions Jamaica had to make.

Seaga Under Siege: http://multinationalmonitor.org/hyper/issues/1985/0531/steif.html

Ok, you read that above link? Good!

Now a couple months ago, outgoing minister in the Ministry of Finance, Senator Don Wehby, went to Washington to suckle at the teat of the IMF, but the guvament painted the trip as a fact finding one. Sure, the facts of what they had to do to get money would be detrimental to the guvament’s political future so of course it was labeled in the prettiest sounding words possible.

Now that they have spent the week on the campaign trail bashing the former PNP about the debt the former guvament incurred, they are now admitting they are going to borrow from the IMF again.

Another case of “see? see? see how DEM mash up the country? Pay no attention to our “minor” borrowing.

…

The level of maturity in Jamaican politics is non existent.

They act like children. Some of the crap coming out of their mouth and the manner in which it is delivered like kids fighting over a toy.

They treat us like children. Not fully disclosing what they are doing, distracting us with noise about what others are doing and then push what they  want in thru the backdoor.

We act like children. We lap it all up cheering when the eediats calling each other hypocrites or termites.

…

Maturing Politically my ass!

 

Shake, Shake, Shake…

For a guvament with such a slim majority in parliament, they are so unbelievably arrogant.

They bully the public sector workers, yet bawl that they will not be bullied.

They break contracts, agreed to not too long ago, with not even a heads up to the other signatories, and then pretend as if the public sector workers are unreasonable.

All the while getting public relations help from their friend’s at the Jamaica Observer doing any and everything to disparage others, and their other friend’s at the Jamaica Gleaner who now ignore hot button issues on their front page, choosing instead to focus on “feel good” stories.

Oh the poor guvament. :sarcasm:

Now, in a further attempt to destroy worker’s rights in this country, Pearnel Charles is looking to break up the Industrial Disputes Tribunal (IDT), with an aim to pad the party loyalists.

This is a sign to me that there will be severe job cuts coming in the near future and this latest move is their way of ensuring disputes go their way.

This from a party with Pearnel Charles, Dwight Nelson, that had Hugh Lawson Shearer, and the great Alexander Bustamante, all renowned for their contribution to the rights of the Jamaican worker.

Here they are now, circling their wagons, closing ranks, to protect their political asses.

I am sure when the people elected the guvament they expected better.

When the world’s economy was tanking, the guvament painted a fairytale ending. This left them and us woefully unprepared for the crisis and now the only thing the guvament can come up with is wage freezes, a precursor to massive job cuts that are sure to come.

Their inability to govern properly is now being blamed on the “economic downturn”, and not their apparent ineptitude.

…

They disprove the adage that change is good. Daily.

“Stupid” Taxation

The guvament downplays the impact their taxation will have on the cost of living, it is going to be very bad, but that is not the worst of it.

The thing that will have the most negative impact on the future of this country is the taxes on computers and books. These items were not cheap to begin with, as they were subject to the vagaries of the exchange rate, but to go and further tax these items is truly wicked.

Only a set of battymen would tax books!

Keeping the people dumb, stupid and uneducated, the JLP continues their war against intelligence.

Suuure you will say they freed up education, but it was poorly implemented, the teachers are still being underpaid, with foreign teaching positions being comparatively attractive. Remember when the PNP of the ‘70s wanted free education the JLP killed it when they got in guvament in the ‘80s and then promoted the Solidarity pushcart shit.

Now, clearly from IMF directives, they have taxed books and computers. But they make the distinction that schoolbooks and religious books are tax exempt. As I said to keep us stupid, to make it difficult for people to get their hands on books not approved by the guvament or the church, and therefore less likely to read books that expand our minds.

Keep us stupid to not realize when we get screwed, and not want to rise up in protest, so they can blurt out such shit as, “The Jamaican people are now more politically mature”.

Right.

Now the guvament is telling us that they are in discussions with the IMF to lay the groundwork for future borrowing.

LIES!

The IMF already directed them to do their bidding, why do you think the new taxes are as they are?

Back Pay Is Not An Increase

Guvament has been hinting, for months now, that they can’t afford to pay an increase in the wage bill, and in these hard economic times, we understand that.

We do.

But their stance on these matters seems to always involve threatening the parties requesting the increase.

tek what we give you or you lose your work!

Why must that sentiment be the first thing out of their mouths at all times?

And though people ought to be paid better, that isn’t what upsets me today.

What upsets me is the treatment to teachers, not that they aren’t getting an increase, but that they aren’t getting their back pay.

Money due them.

Money promised to them by the guvament.

Another promise broken.

But I want to go further! And I hope I don’t get myself into too deep a trouble today. I want to say that Mrs. Allwood-Anderson has publicly stated that the take-home pay of nurses ought to be doubled, and I want to publicly support that position. ~Pearnel Charles (before election)

To reiterate: This is not a request for an increase, this is money due them, that was promised to them, that in all fairness they should get!

…

Police are underpaid, and for the pittance they get I can understand why so many of them are corrupt.

Doctors are being asked to treat an explosion in the number of patients since “Free Healthcare”, their workload has shot thru the roof, and yet they are expected to make do with the pittance given to them.

When teachers leave the country to go teach elsewhere there is a hue and cry among the people lamenting the “brain drain”, (in addition to the many university trained graduates who seek greener pastures). Teeth are gnashed, gritted and ground over the shortage of teachers in some areas, and the size of the classes in others. Teachers sometimes work in some very deplorable conditions, but they do their work none the less.

Many math teachers, have not passed the subject themselves

Sure their are teachers who are either under qualified or incompetent,in the subjects they teach, but the idea of annual evaluations needs to become policy. And many a time on the news in the evenings, teachers and principals speak in the most cringe inducing attempt at English possible.

Those should go.

But for the qualified, the hard working, the dedicated among them, the ones that leaves an impression on their students long after being taught by them, it is time they are suitably awarded that which is due them.

Only a batty-hole would say otherwise.

Everybody Pay a Go Freeze!

Oh woe are the poor members of parliament, Ministers, and heads of guvament agencies whose pay will not rise with respect to the rise in the cost of living! Oh what are these multi-millionaires to do?

Dwight Nelson, in informing the country that all these peoples salaries will also be frozen, for being part of the public service is insulting, for a couple of reasons:

• With the millions they earn, some of them up to eight million a year, they are already in excellent shape to ride the hard economic times out.
• Many, many civil servants don’t see even 10% of that a year, and they were already stretched to their limits. Some are now considering not turning up for work when their money runs out, being unable to afford the transportation costs, lunch and other things taken into consideration for getting to work. I won’t hold it against them.
• We know they are going to find some other way to feed off the public coffers, either by marking trips overseas as official, or having the guvament pay for their vehicles,  or many other perks available to them, or even perks they can create for themselves. (Like Audley Shaw and his personal stoplight out by Heroes’ Circle.

So to come and tell the people that, when you are all sitting comfortably atop the salary scale, is a bitch slap to them.

…

I can see Danville and Joan, agonizing over the tough decisions they will have to make, between keeping their current luxury cars or getting the ‘09 model..

25%?!? Bend Over Some More.

Dem out ah dem raas mind!

Why the hell in these hard economic times you want to rape the people of this country with a 25% increase on their light bills?

What the hell wrong wid unnoo?!

No one is getting a pay increase to deal with the massive rise in the cost of living, but we must take another one up the ass to have any sense of comfort in our homes, which, when you look at it, is no comfort at all.

Mullings in his pronouncements on the matter is only covering his ass for when the OUR approves the rate hike. Trying to seem sympathetic to the plight of the people, forgetting that we don’t all earn the millions guvament Ministers make a year.

Hell, the travelling allowance they make a year is a whole lot more than what many, many people earn. Add their various other business from which they make money, and you see where they will barely be affected by the high costs.

And you know they will soon give themselves another salary increase.

Just wait little it soon come out.

If the guvament had any concern for the people of this country they would see to it that the JPS doesn’t extract another pound of flesh from the already suffering people of this country.

Why should the people not in seats of power be required to tighten their belts but the powerful and the corporations can still gorge themselves like pigs?!?

…

The guvament has a 20% stake in the JPS, one, namely me, wonders how much, if any, of this increase would go to them as shareholders?

…

We suffer and guvament ministers are still running up the bills.

Any attempts through the Access To Information Act to get information related to this waste of money will be met with roadblocks, to keep their living high on our backs from getting out.

So tough luck!

…

sigh…

More Garbage

When Gordon-Webley was appointed as NSWMA head, she made it her duty to “get rid of the garbage” and clean up the corruption. Never once batting an eye when referring to people as garbage, and being adamant that the old ways needed changing.

So they changed out the board and cleaned up where needed cleaning up, and by the latest revelations, brought in her rubbish.

Now we are told again that there is rampant corruption, and that she will once again clean it up.

If you or I failed to carry out our duty, which then led to a repeat of the same, perhaps worse, outcome, we would be out of a job, so why isn’t this woman nursing the bruises that comes from being kicked out on her ass?

Does she have too many secrets for her contemporaries in the JLP, or are they afraid that they too would end up “disappeared”?

It is high time Jamaica is free of this blight, get her out of our public bodies, kick her out of the country, save a life.

Get rid of that pile of garbage.

We Really Cannot Afford This Guvament!

It is amazing that with the hard economic times, the ever growing number of people losing their means of income and the bleak forecast by sensible people (not the fairy tale dreamers in guvament), that this guvament is still, more than a year and a half after the election, is spending money like it can’t done.

Nineteen ministries, with its nineteen ministers and all their entourage, inclusive of consultants and constituency workers, all the staff necessary to do the work required all the equipment and furniture necessary to outfit the offices, and since the guvament doesn’t own these properties they occupy, all the rent they have to pay. All this and they are still hiring more consultants, buying more furniture (in some cases from the US) and having expensive tastes in personal transportation, and that john crow Dwight Nelson is hinting at cutting the workforce of the civil service?

Why doesn’t the guvament rein in its spending look to cut the expenditure generated by themselves before looking to cut jobs?

JOBS JOBS AND MORE JOBS!

More jobs were cut with Air Jamaica’s ditching of some of its routes to the US, adding to the ever growing number of people who ‘obviously’ were not included in the JLP’s election promises.

…

What is interesting to note is that no one has come forward with statistical figures depicting the number of people who have lost their jobs since this guvament took power. It would be interesting to know the figures, but with a looming by-election or general election, dependent on the Dabdoub/Vaz ruling, i guess Bruce and company would not want such information out there.

…

Who knew that by 2009 we would all be caught in Bruce’s “rampin’ shop”?

…

I felt like apologizing for that one, but i won’t.

What is Wrong with Them?

The global financial meltdown affects many Jamaicans negatively, from job loss to hiring freezes, many Jamaicans are  unable to afford the already high cost of living.

This cost of living is further compounded by the slide in the value of the now pretty worthless Jamaican dollar. Admit it, a $100 bill seems almost like nothing now, like is a dollar, which is almost there, and according to slang on the street, aptly named a”dollar”.

The dollar has slipped from its relatively stable position at J$71 to US$1 to now almost  J$90 to US$1. This impacts EVERYTHING in Jamaica. The cost of food, the cost of electricity, (it being dependent on the US Dollar value per barrel),  which then propagates to the cost of food yet again, and high electric bills, which we are told will jump by 10% this month.

So faced with ever increasing cost of living with stagnant, and woefully inadequate personal income, how does the guvament now want to help the economy?

By screwing the people even more with an increase in GCT.

They are actually contemplating adding a further 4.5% to make total GCT 21%.

The GCT on phone calls will probably be what? 30%?

GCT, which is already too high, should have never been more than 12%, and now they guvament want to cut we belly a little more to take a larger quantity of our severely limited purchasing power away from us.

This after they took $500,000,000 of our tax money and give it to dem friends earlier last year under some scheme to reduce the cost of goods to the public.

That never materialized as the cost of goods still went up, making the whole thing a transfer of funds from the people of the country to the JLPs friends.

…

Insult to injury: they are adamant they will never take a pay cut, while they cut our throats even more.

…

Perhaps they could get rid of income tax then the GCT could go to 25%, after all, most of our salary goes into buying things. but at least we get to direct it where we want to.

…

During the campaign, the refrain was “JOBS, JOBS AND MORE JOBS!”, however, rather than jobs being added, jobs are being cut all over, and the only thing increasing is the cost of living, and if the guvament have their way: TAX TAX AND MORE TAX!

Bruce Sad

Bruce dissatisfied with his guvament’s handling of crime.

Ah nuh him one!

Admitting that they are ineffective is a nice thing to do. Acknowledging your ineptitude is a step forward that all Jamaicans should cheer.

However, I am quite sure that during the campaign for the election, the JLP, as part of their promises, repeatedly made the point that they had a great plan to tackle crime in this country.

Where is that plan?

Dem laas it?

Or dem dash it weh?

Why would they do that?

Was their don/community leader friends objecting to some of the more stronger recommendations?

Was it not good enough?

Or did it just not exist, like all the fairy tale pronouncements this guvament seems to spew regularly?

Last year they revealed “bold” new measures to tackle crime, however, most sensible people saw where it was lacking in the prevention of crime and served only to punish those caught.

The problem remains, dem haffi ketch dem first!

I see no plans geared towards that.

…

So, while its refreshing to see  them admit their impotence, people are dying at more than four a day.

DO SOMETHING ALREADY!

Or call elections so we can kick your ass out!

Wait is the same set a eediat dem pon de other side too.

 

Shithouse!

Fire Lewin Now!

The police commissioner exposed his ignorance of what is going on in this country when he said he had no idea that the dancehall culture was so pervasive in society.

Obviously he should come down from the mountain he lives on and see what is going on down here with the common folk. Get his head out of the clouds a little, see and taste the polluted air.

Decades now it has been happening that on many occasions, the rhythmic booming of the dancehall was there when i try to get some sleep and there when I awake at 6 the next morning.

This is not anything new. That is why there is a Noise Abatement Act on the books, it’s a problem that has existed many many many many many years now, and to this out of touch quack, its all new.

People so clueless as to what goes on in this country, should never be put in an official role that affects this country.

Fire the eediat!

Tek the other eediat McMillan wid him!

Me Don’t Cuss Badwud Neither!

There he was laying the groundwork  to expose possible corrupt police activity, making accusations that the man who allegedly engaged the police in a shootout was taken out because he was integral to plans to expose the dastardly behaviour of some in the St. Thomas police, and then he shit all over it with his claims that he doesn’t swear.

Then he proved himself a liar when he added that when his friends hear him swear it’s more a humorous affair because he mispronounces the words.

…

So he doesn’t do it.

But when he does do it, its funny.

Oh how i would hate for the children of this country to adopt his brand of humour.

…

Him tek people fi facking eediat.

See, I seh it funny too.

Seems the break in the Christmas  is over,  as we are back to the weekly preckeh the guvament seems to excel at.

sigh…

Bwoy(s) A Yard!

Number 1.

What a way the man a yaad haffi backtrack on the increased interest rates?

Eediat!

If you say that raising the interest rate is necessary to keep the economy afloat or even to improve the economic outlook, that’s fine.

But if you are going to take it back as soon as people gripe about the increase then it says to me that your original decision was a hasty, un-researched one that you pulled out of your ass, and the reason given was a lie!

And I bet Audley nor the guvament is going to understand the logic.

Who cares?

It is quite obvious to those with sense that these people have no clue as to governance, good or bad, but damn they still campaigning and not as good as they were before the elections.

…

The next Bwoy is the prime Bruce himself.

After coldly dismissing the PSC last year and pretty much accusing them of violating protocol, and being very adamant and forthright with the accusations and their firing, he now settles out of court  when they bring forward a lawsuit to restore their besmirched integrity.

Did the crow taste good Bruce?

 

Man, Sangster is a bitter bitch!

…

Bwoy #3.

Trevor.

Trevor, Trevor, Trevor.

You just over deh a warm de seat, don’t it?

I am sure you feel good after your speech the other night but it was not much comfort to the residents of Gravel Heights and the many other good citizens who have also been forcibly removed from their homes.

Ok, the good people have been run out, means that is only the gunman dem lef’ in deh, so what dat means is:

a) The police and military can now surround the area.

b) Announce their presence and demand everybody still in the community to put down their guns and surrender by a certain time.

c) If not, the security forces move in and shoot the lot of them.

Not too hard, right?

Sure Gomes and her bredrin dem a go feel a way, but remember you work for the people of this country and not  the special interest groups. Those people who worked so hard to build their lives and now have to abandon it, I can pretty much guarantee that right now, they are wondering where is the justice for them, what about their human rights.

…

The 4th Bwoy.

Mike!

How you feel now that it is revealed you threw a state funeral (while cheapening it at the same time) for a man now revealed to be a crook and no good?

Before you say, that at the time you didn’t know about his shady character, you should have asked the employees of the JUTC what sort of person he was.

Hell many were happy to see him murdered.

But you wouldn’t know this because you all, are oblivious as to what is going on at street level.

…

Bwoy of the Fifth.

Pickersgill, thank you for doing your work as the opposition to press for investigations into the JUTC’s shady dealings, but mek me ask Yuh sumting, why de rass when you was in guvament you never was as vigilant on corruption?

Right now Yuh is a rass hypocrite.

How unnoo so blind when unnoo inna power but Yuh eye dem get perfect when Yuh inna opposition?

But I shouldn’t be surprised, both sides do dem job when dem in opposition but get blind as dem get inna guvament.

…

Assorted bwoys.

Daryl. Constitutionally you are to give up the seat. But mi understand, Bruce never liked the Jamaican constitution one bit.

Abe. A by-election not go hurt anybody. In fact if you do win it (good possibility as the approval rating of the JLP stinks) then nobody can say shit like: “you used the courts to get seat”.

Clive. It looks like the small majority the JLP have in parliament is what is keeping you in your ministry, hush.

Mark Wignall. Perhaps you should let Clovis know how things really look bad for the guvament so he can start lampooning them too, Butch be damned!

Me (We). I thank God I do not own a gun (even though Wignall says we should all have one) because some people need a shot or two. But I am an eediat too as are most Jamaicans, who don’t scream loudly enough, who don’t protest enough, who cower in the safety of anonymity, while our country goes to shit. We say that is for the sake of our loved ones that we keep our heads down, that it’s for their benefit.

Sure, in the short term.

But if we continue to allow the criminals and the guvament (both major parties, NDM is only a gathering) to screw us over like this, then in the long run we a go get jook!

Raise my children or put a target on my back, tough decision.

These should not be the only choice we have!

…

GREG CHRISTIE FOR PRESIDENT!

Ok.

Fine.

Jamaican constitution doesn’t allow for a president, but damn if it isn’t a most welcome sign to see someone actually carrying out their duty as described under the law.

Exposing the shady dealings at the JUTC, when the guvament has been most unfriendly to anyone who calls them out on matters of state, is much more than brave, it is honourable.

Come this morning (the 1st of December) we now hear that Mike Henry, Minister of Transport, is going to ask the Attorney General to investigate the Office of Contractor General for how the report was delivered to him.

Yuh see dis rass?!

More upset with how the report was delivered than the shady dealings described in the report, WTF?!?

Why?

Why are they threatening now to kill the messenger?

Is the Minister’s involvement deeper than first suspected?

I thought Bruce and the gang were anti-corruption?

instead they threaten people who expose the shady dealings happening under their watch.

…

Corruption happens when seemingly well meaning people turn a blind eye or excuse the seemingly little stuff.

Corruption happens when the people in charge believe that the previous set were more corrupt than they and so in terms of degree of corruption, since they are not as bad then they must not be corrupt.

Corruption happens when you will excuse your party for the same wrongs they other party did, by claiming the others “t’ief more!”

…

The PNP were scandal ridden, and man did they have their fair share of shady deals, but now the JLP must be trying to outdo them, as it is almost guaranteed that one new scandal a week will rear its ugly head.

…

The new report by the OCG implicates former head of the JUTC, Chambers.

Could the reason Mike Henry be so upset is that the rumours of Mr. Chambers being his son in law are true?

Or is it now embarrassment that they held a state funeral for a crook?

…But What Do The Dons Have To Say?

Now that our elected officials have voted their “conscience” to keep the death penalty, what do the many “dons”/area leaders have to say about it?

Consider that the Minister of National Security and the Minister of Labour have both come out in favour of the criminals themselves having a say in the long delayed, oft quarrelsome, long ago promised and seemingly stalled crime plan.

Are the “dons” going to now give their full support to whatever the final plans are, as hanging is definitely still on the cards?

Will we, the regular law-abiding(for the most part) people, now be faced with even more delays of the pretty toothless plan, because the “dons” nuh inna de hangin’ ting?

Will the eediat ministers see how stupid it was to even suggest that criminals should get the chance to determine aspects of the law, at a time when our wish, the wish of the people of Jamaica, is to be rid of these parasites once and for all?

…

 

 

p.s.

yes Clovis!

We get it!

Portia was absent for the vote, when her backside should have been there! We naah go vote fi har if snap election run, but you must admit Bruce dem a mek all Mark Wignall have doubts!

 

How about cartoons lampooning:

The contract awarded to Rodney Chin’s company? One would think they’d want to avoid possible embarrassment.

Or the long delayed report on the sand theft? Why still so much silence in the matter?

The JTB shenanigans? Firing the board appointing their friend to head the board and direct tourism?

The fairy tale, la la land that Audley must live in? The economy is going to get hit hard!

The twenty-four million dollar an acre land deal with their political sister in the Hydel deal? You have to admit the reasons given the changing story and that their friend got a hefty sum does look fishy.

Her Decision

Using graphic images of late-term abortions to sway politicians into banning even the morning after pill is despicable.

Many will say that they are not talking about the morning after pill…but they will.

How many of you, right now, are convinced the morning after pill is abortion?

You may not think it is, but far too many do.

…

If men could get pregnant, abortion would be sacrosanct!

“… What Fiscal Responsibility?”

Just over halfway in the fiscal year, and the island’s parish councils have already burned thru 90% of their budget?

Ok, I’ll give them that the rise in the cost of oil and food and other commodities and utilities most definitely affected the budget, but as I said from long time, Audley screwed up.

The obviously weak and inadequate budget tabled by Audley in April with no provisions for inflation, when all indications were that what they proposed would be inadequate. With the ambitious plans the guvament laid out, it was obvious to me that those same plans would require a far greater expenditure than the “man ah yard” planned for.

What else is now obvious is that the parish councils, the greater majority of them JLP, must have thought that since is their party in guvament, then it meant dollars haffi run fi dem.

Unexpected increases in salaries and travelling allowances? Is wha’ dem a do? Gi dem Frien’ an’ company work?

Again, no planning.

If they were going to increase their quotient of staff members, why wasn’t it requested in the budget?

Where are they “travelling” to? How many in their entourage? Are all these hangers on necessary for these “trips”?

…

Why is it that the public is being asked to tighten their belts, band their bellies and have faith in the “miracles” that Bruce will soon work, while the guvament ministers and parish councilors get to live the high life?

The guvament can’t expect the people to have any faith in what they say, when they themselves ignore the fiscal responsibility they expect us to practice.

…

These parish councils must be made to “tuff” it out until the next fiscal year.

They must tighten THEIR belts, and learn to live without, like every other Jamaican.

But me jus’ a waste mi breathe don’t it?

Sigh…

Tomorrow is a Different Story…

First Bruce  Tell the nation that the land was bought to facilitate future urban development, but now the narrative has change to that of rescuing, bailing out the school. And then Bruce lashes the opposition, pretty much accusing them of having up the schoolaz dem.

Look Bruce! If every day you going to make up a new story to explain the purchase of the land, then the only conclusion you are going to leave people with, is that you are lying.

How many legal eagles did you have scouring the charter of the UDC to find this one for you?

Why is Bennet so belligerent when asked about the stinky smelling deal?

Why are you also ‘tracing’ the opposition like market woman?

All it says to me, and to many Jamaicans, that unnoo a lie an a try cover up things.

Now you going to point out more PNP scandals to deflect attention from your suspicious deal.

Makes you look guiltier still.

USING THE SHADY DEALS OF YOUR PREDECESSORS TO DEFLECT OR JUSTIFY YOUR SHADY DEALS IS STUPID. YOUR DEALS ARE STILL SHADY.

Ironically, you know something is up, when Portia is the calm and reasonable looking one.
