Of course there's much more going on as well and we will know later today whether or not the curfew times have been changed.
This came about not just because of a much needed major crackdown on crime and the drug shipments coming into and through this country but because a plan to assassinate the Prime Minister and the Attorney General was uncovered.
Oh my goodness. That doesn't sound good Bee. What a shame, so much crime in such a beautiful place. Perhaps we humans do not deserve this beautiful planet!
ReplyDeleteBe safe!
We are being safe Star thank you so much. I think the most worrying thing is even if you are a good citizen, living under a SOE can be somewhat scary as you lose your rights. Not necessarily under the curfew which doesn't worry me at all but the very fact that you are living under martial law and if they want to invade your home for whatever reason, they can.
ReplyDeleteThe SOE, after a three day debate in Parliament was today extended to three months.
Well,I know this country for many years and there is an urgent need to fight crime.Kamla made the right decision. It was just a shame for the whole nation to have a criminal free who occupied parliament some years ago. Kamla's UNC colleague and former PM Basdeo helped this criminal to get out of this crime without a penalty.T&T is unique. Ever since Peter Taut was murdered in Tobago I realized action is needed to get rid of all this nasty criminals.
ReplyDeleteWell Bushman it's a pity I can't get to your page but it's alleged that Mr Panday was paid 11 million TT$ per annum to stay in Opposition.
ReplyDeleteIt was very sad about Peter Taut as indeed it is sad for all the others who have lost their lives (and I personally know several) unnecessarily in this nation where life has become so cheap.
