PIERS. FAIRS AND FAMALLAYYY

FAIR SHARE FOR ALL

The traffic lights were to create a sustained buzz to ensure, among other things, a small turn out for the march on Labour Day.

Since the lights are not doing the job and the march was such a success that the operatives are suggesting that the pictures were photo shopped, a job fair for the second pier is coming soon this Saturday.

I would suggest to all who are unemployed and underemployed to go to the job fair. In this guava crop, a job is a job. I hope that all the unemployed Labour supporters, all those PEP workers who, instead of being made permanent and instead of getting a liveable wage of five hundred dollars a week, should be the first in line at the job fair.

This second pier is more than three years late. All Timothy and his gang had to do was to take the baton and run.

Instead, to ensure kickbacks every step of the way and to make sure that cement companies and trucking and heavy equipment companies were in place, all sorts of pussy footing took place and the project was deliberately delayed.

Stalled for more than three whole years.

Now that they are running out of time and the electorate has long grown fed up of them, Team Unity is trying to do something in a desperate effort to impress the voters.

For three whole years, all Team Unity did was to set up themselves and their famalaayys. That was their only focus.

All sorts of questionable and unethical activities took up their time as they ensured that at the end of one term, they were set for life.

Every service that the government needed became a business for a member of cabinet. All goods that the government purchased on a regular basis became a business for a member of government.

Now I understand why Team Unity is boasting that five hundred new businesses were open under their watch. It is Team Unity and their famalaayy who have established the better part of these businesses.

So this job fair is intended to take some steam out of Labour’s successful weekend and to create some renewed interest in Team Unity,
I believe that Tim and his gang foolishly thought that the march would have been a failure. I do not know what unit of measure they were using to come to such a conclusion but they were way off.

So after the Ms Labour Queen Show on Saturday, after Sunday’s meeting when Labour’s new candidate “tun up de place”, and after the massive turn out to the march, ask Terry if any reader doubts me, the government had to do something.
And fast.

By now, Timothy thought the marches would have been reduced to a sprinkling of people. By now, he thought that people would have been so afraid of them that only the very brave would have dared to venture anywhere near the Labour Day march.

But it is God who shares bread. Not Team Unity.

And that is the message that was sent to and received by Team Unity.

People who a year ago would have stood on the side in a dark pink or a neutral colour were in the march in their red.

People who had been traditionally with us but had parted ways with us last elections were in the march.

Because they recognise that Timothy and his gang have to be stopped.
They are not good for the country.

They are not good for people. Just ask Sam, Gene, Clecton, Terry, Brand, Samal, Wattley.
Oh dear. I can go on and on.

Let us make sure that they do not get another opportunity at governing.

One way to ensure that is to welcome home all who want to come back.

There is room for all in the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party.
