Yes the temperatures are rising in the political arena but the gangs that normally provide support for the political parties are not interested in these political parties. I understand that the scammers are supportive of a few political aspirants. One political aspirant even got himself into trouble making positive statements about the scammers.
These days gangs and scammers are more powerful than politicians. Even with the increase pay politicians are getting, they cannot win over community members easily. One political leader told me that he organized a football match to get the young people involved. That political leader will have to leave that to the scammers now who can pay up to JAD0.5 million to the willing team and big money for each goal scored. I understand that at one match, there was a wide variety of high-end vehicles parked at a football match. These vehicles are owed by very young men. The Integrity Commission should investigate these scammers!

| Hidran Mckulsky |
JLP supporters claim that Adion Peart has friends close to the leadership of the JLP party who are trying to clear the way for him. This might not be an easy task because Hidran Mckulsky the Principal of Holmwood Technical High is already very popular in the constituency.

| Isat Buchanan |
There is another interesting development in Portland - Isat Buchanan will be running against sitting MP Ann-Marie Vaz. Many persons see this move to have Isat Buchanan who has had a checkered past running for a seat in Portland, as a dumb move. This is not necessarily so. Money is important, and with the backing Isat has in the dancehall fraternity this could be a smart decision. Note the big reception that Vybz Kartel got at the last PNP conference when he went on the platform.
I had wondered why Vybz Kartel was invited to the platform? I now realize that Isat saved him so why not usher his lawyer and friend to the conference, riding in his chariot of fame. Oh the arena went wild when Vybz Kartel hit the stage with Isat by his side.
If Isat loses at the next general elections, then it would be no problem because the party would not need him for a ministerial position. He could be appointed to the Senate. I don't believe that the PNP expect to win Ann-Marie Vaz.
Interesting days are ahead!

Weak attempt to appear and sound neutral, your true colours keep showing sir.🙊
ReplyDeleteI normally do not reply to comments like this one which is a waste of time. For the record please note that I have quite a number of biases, and I vote at election time. I have no time to waste proving that I am neutral to anyone because I am not. I use this blog to give facts and also my opinions. Hope that I am not being too harsh and you are probably reading my blog for the first time. Note also that I allow persons to comment and also to write for my blog. If you have something intelligent to say then submit an article to 876 816-5261. I don't need to know your true colour. Get up and do something constructive for your country and stop watching others who are doing something. All the best.
DeleteSame do, Mr. Derby.
DeleteWell said Mr Derby if there are Jamaican patriots and nationalists with integrity around you are certainly one of them.
DeleteYou have proven that for decades you are a public positive contributor to make Jamaica better and more liveable for all mankind.
Today is Sunday perhaps the most prayerful warrior day of the nation in any given week.
May God bless and keep you mentally,morally and physically prolific.
Bless 🙌 up Missa Derby youare a real Jamaica Trojan.
Well said Vernon!
DeleteI agree with Vernon's comment.
ReplyDeleteRegardless of our preferred party, we must hold our leaders accountable and share our views. It helps the debate and the search for solution when we can have different points of views but yet we disagree in an agreeable manner without ascribing motive.
Secondly, our personal beliefs and views are just that, our personal beliefs.
I disagree with Vernon from time to time, but i am convinced his heart is in the right place i.e. for the improved welfare of all Jamaicans.
On improving Jamaica we are fully agreed.
Agreed. We should all be working towards a better Jamaica.
ReplyDeleteIsat, Kartel and Portland is an interesting mix. Kartel did not gain his release because of lack of evidence and that is important. A lot of the gun for drugs trade and other drugs running involves the waters and many mangroves and other access points in Portland. A criminal mastermind and corrupt politician could make a killing in Portland. Will that be the legend of Isat and Kartel should the unseat Annmarie?
