This increasingly desperate political wannabe continues his search for a cause to gain traction and name recognition. His suggestion of a naval blockade is risible., how well has that worked keeping liquor out of the US during prohibition? Keeping arms and supplies from the Confederate States during the civil war, keeping Cuban immigrants from reaching Florida? Etc., etc., etc.

The BBC today reports that The London Metropolitan Police Force is currently investigating about 800 police officers for possible misconduct. Retired policeman Mr., Paul Thompson writes lots of letters to the print media most of which convey the impression that he thinks that the RBPF does not and never has had, any crooked police officers. Now consider whether the PBF or the London MET has a better training, supervision, employee screening, and civilian oversight. The answer should be obvious to anyone with even a little commonsense.

Anything that Dame Marguerite Pindling gained in her life, she gained only because of her marriage to the prime minister. On this occasion she seems to be upset that the organizers did not invite her, well, Dame Marguerite Pindling, this event was not all about you, it was about your husband. Although she was correct in inferring that the event was also not about a certain plp member who loves to self publicize.

Do not forget that this is the same man who went down to T&C to attend the wedding of the then premier. Perhaps some people need to reminded as to what subsequently happened to that particular marriage and that particular premier.

Canary blue, not canary yellow? Well OK.......

Carlos? Most every bureaucrat in any government just wants more money and more people to supervise. It makes them feel more worthy. Sigh.

The bane of every charitable endeavor has always been "administrative costs" which absorb the money donated before it is effectively used to further the particular aims of the charity. Historically the BNT has very low administrative costs because of the time and service donated bt those who took on the task of running. With this reported increase of staff to 90 paid employees I can only wonder how much of the funds will left over to carry out worthy things. Can we expect the BNT to soon be seeking increased funding?

This is simply political theatre, which corporations owned by China have had to practice for decades in their home country. If 20 positions are really surplus to requirements, then we can expect that 20 jobs will be phased out over the next few months. It is also quite likely that elected government officials have simply been gamed by a more savvy group for reasons which may or may not become apparent to the electorate.

In other news a government spokesperson assured the public free electricity will very soon be given to every voter..........
