THE ESSENCE OF RESPONSIBILITY

In Apocrypha, our favourite Fantasyland beyond the stars where all politicians are friends and Oma D’unn solves political dilemmas by parable, Government’s slavery reparations strategy came under fire.

LABELLING IS NOT ARGUMENT

It never ceases to amaze me how difficult political sycophants find it to argue political issues without attaching political labels.

This dysfunction’s best example is online comment on media reports and columns.

MORE FAIRY TALES

In a brilliant move, PNP took its annual show on the road to Westmoreland.

Apart from obvious political gimmickry, this was a salutary message of support to those most affected by Melissa

WE MUST OBEY!

Dessie kept reminding us that his brother, the Dunce, fell on his head from a tree as a child and was never the same.

“Like we sey: Him head lick” was Dessie’s punchline.

FAIRY TALES AS EDUCATION

So, debate on Jamaica’s education is the latest piece of evidence supporting the conclusion JLP and PNP are about as different as six and half-a-dozen.

After Government’s abysmally slow refurbishing of hurricane damaged schools became public, PNP took its turn at bat.

WE ARE STILL SLAVES

Jamaica’s allegedly sovereign Government crossed the Atlantic, cap in hand, to beg (oops, sorry, “petition”) our enslavers’ King for slavery reparations.

Have we no shame?

RJR vs JBC

Two Fridays ago, JPS gifted my community a three hour power cut during the worst of the summer heat.

While collecting my sweat in a bucket so The Old Ball and Chain could water her precious orchids, I retrieved my old transistor radio for entertainment.

GOD’S GRACE

Life is a series of choices made by you that are the only reasons what you call “good” or “bad” happens to you.

Nobody does anything to you. You do everything to or for yourself.

POLITICAL SUICIDE

It now seems confirmed that PNP is determined to successfully complete a kamikaze mission.

LIZZIE’S BOYFRIEND

In the wee hours of March 24, 2021, two days before her birthday, the Old Ball and Chain received a phone call that broke our hearts.

Initially it was Liz on the phone.
