Criminals don’t ask for your party card (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As we exit SoE number 2,3 or 4, with a real threat of it returning, because as Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has said, she can reinstate it if she wants, I take a look back at what it has accomplished. To say nothing significant would be a gross understatement of how ineffective the SoE was, and an accurate description of how little to nothing was accomplished. A stupid boast of a little over 3,500 people being arrested has done nothing to assuage the fears of the nation because as far a

Being an 80-year-old man stricken with mid- to late-stage Parkinsonâs and quite possibly other ailments (I prefer to live in ignorance about the other issues, worrying might kill me faster), the last thing I should have on my mind is this countryâs future.

I am a man who has always identified as what we in the armed forces would describe as Land-Forces. This is not because I was a soldier, but more so because of my deep respect for the sea and all water courses. As a child growing up I lost cousins and close friends to the seas. So, when my children were younger, we would frequent Maracas and Mayaro and the standing rules were: no bathing in water above knee-height, and no bathing without adult supervision. I could not swim until age 18 when I ent

Exactly how many people are trying to âkillâ our Prime Minister? I have to ask the question because last year, it was alleged there was a plot to kill top members of Government, inclusive of the CPL-going duo, Saddam Hosein and Barry Padarath. That plot was thwarted. The last time she was in government there was a plot to kill her, her attorney general and Roodal Moonilal. Once again, that plot was thwarted. So, Iâm asking, how many people are trying to kill our âmeek and mildâ Prime M
