Globewriter comments on a Senate debate about a clause of the Children's Bill “involving a clause that includes buggery”; B.C. Pires adds: “The People’s Partnership of UNC [United National Congress] MPs [Ministers of Parliament] yesterday refused, despite urgings from Independent senators, to decriminalize same gender sexual activity between minors - even while ploughing ahead with decriminalizing the same activity between boys and girls. If ever there were a plain human rights issue, sexual orientation is it.”
Further to this, babalu reports that another elderly lady “suffered a fatal heart attack after her home was violently attacked by a paramilitary mob.”
“Bajans deserve the truth, all the truth and nothing but the truth. It is not enough for the Court of Appeal or the news media to gloss over this story”: Barbados Free Press is curious about a case in which a man who bit a police officer apparently got off scot-free.

Who was it that ran the thinking Jamaicans out in the 70s……. that brain drain almost ruined Jamaica, and now many of our large companies are now foreign owned.
A South American soccer coach for the Reggie Boyz, foreign companies donating to political parties. Hypocrites that what it is……… Now that the JLP is trying to clean house, the PNP is trying to say that the Consitution is now a “Shackle”, and MP with US passports must loose their seats, but Canadians and Australians can be elected, foolishness.
Let the MPs with foreign bank accounts declare those accounts. One MP bought a Government car for $400,000 J $ and sold it for $2,000,000.00 J$ Two Million. See the Herald of May 18th.They love the poor…….right. All Jamaica is, to them is a feeding tree.
