Hallelujah!

Will someone PLEASE tell Portia fi stop wid the religiosity?

This woman is incapable of making a reasoned argument without calling on the name of Jesus or his daddy, perhaps in some idiotic belief that it will lend authenticity to what she has to say.

But she isn’t the only one, Vaz, before and after the buy-election, various other ministers and MPs and even Bruce himself.

This is the business of the country, not religion. This is Parliament, not church.

Though I must admit, the zeal party supporters display approaches religious fervor. Hell, like all religious conflict in the world, they will even kill for it.

…

Fine!

It’s a religion.

Sorry for wasting your time.

Praise be to God!

…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.

Partyin’

Peter challenge Portia, party mash up!

Rubbish!

If Peter challenging Portia means the party a go mash up, then maybe it needs to be mashed up. Clearly there are factions in the party who don’t see Portia as an effective leader, especially coming off the high of her ascendency to the Prime Minister’s office, to the crash at the polls. They saw how easy it was to make her look bad. REALLY BAD. Add to that her seeming inability to brush those attacks aside and make herself more viable in the eyes of the electorate, no wonder there are concerns that she can’t win it for them.

How i see it. If Peter wins then there is a legitimate concern by party delegates of Portia’s ability to lead. If Portia wins, then it wipes away the concerns in the eyes of the greater public, of her electability.

And if the party is going to dissolve because the leader is challenged, then let it. The JLP for years, from loss to loss in the general elections did not challenge Seaga, and continued to lose. Then when his base in the party was challenged by the introduction of new blood and his subsequent retirement led to the ascension of Bruce to party leader.

And we know how dat turn out.
