Like a Steppin’ Razor

Mullings gone. The light bulb thing never seem to work out.

Smith gone. Was only a matter of time, figured his health would have been a factor.

McMillan gone. But…was he ever there? What him did in deh a do?

…

So yeah, they trimmed the cabinet, taking a pay cut, and going to freeze public sector salaries, ok fine.

Now we just waiting to hear how many people a go lose dem work. It’s coming. No way they can be harping on the ‘wage bill’ every other day, and not itching to cut the ‘inefficient’ workforce. All that talk was aimed at impressing on the people how bad it was that we had to be paying these people, so that when they swing the axe, most Jamaicans won’t feel to bad about it.

…

Now giving the traitor-to-the-trade-union movement the National Security portfolio, is a very clear indication that this guvament has no idea, not a one, of how to deal with crime in this country. Right now it seems that Bruce is giving him bredrin dem a run at ‘playing’ minister, in this grand event of musical chairs.

…

Vaz get promoted, fi wah!?!

Honestly, dat man does not strike me as having the competence or ability to deal with any serious work. I figure there will be lots of hand holding by the PM or other more sensible cabinet members for him to get anything done.

If at all.

The way how him always accompanying Bruce nearly everywhere, mi did start wonder if a Bruce girlfriend.

…

The John-Crow gets Mining & Energy.

That’s it!

The man is a john-crow, as evidenced by his public display of john-crow-ism, but as to his ability to do the work as needed, we will wait and see.

Might be the smartest of these latest shuffling.

We’ll see.

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!
