Different Face/Same Line

Andrew Holness has the same nose as Bruce
Golding.
This is not all they have in common.

Both start their Prime Ministerial Journey
pretending to be decent urbane gentlemen
who had proper home training.

I would think if you bought an Acer Computer
and it proved to be a pile of crap, that you
wouldn't buy this year's version.

Yet, the same Veranda sitters who were lauding
Bruce Golding up until the minute of his resignation
have, just like those in 1984 changed
their mouths in mid chant.

"Bruce Golding is the best Prime Minister we
ever had, Andrew Holness is the best Prime
Minister...."

The fact is, the policies of the JLP have
exacerbated every possible disaster that
could have been averted.

To claim that it was the Ponzi schemes
which gave the PNP buoyancy is insane as
many people lost a great deal of money.

It wasn't the Cash Plus or the Olint, it
was that prices were lower and more people
had jobs.

That is the nutshell.

What happened with the JLP was the coagulation
of money in certain pockets.

Jamaica has always had its corruption.

As the years from Independence increase so does
the level of corruption.

If everyone gets a bit of it, fine, they carry
it to the supermarket. If only a small minority
gets it, they carry it to the Benz dealer.

The JLP hasn't a clue how to get the economy
moving. It knows how to fill its pockets.

The recent snafu with Scrap Metal is just the
very tip of the ice berg.

The government 'closes' the trade so small people
are squeezed out, big people continue.

Dan Walker, surprise, surprise, is now running on
the JLP slate.

He's been pretty good over the years in playing
indignant and wrongly accused; especially when
he's guilty.

There was no way that Scrap Metal could have
legally been exported if there was a ban.
No way without Walker granting a license.

This isn't a guy getting free light bulbs and
whatever went on with them; this is a guy giving
contracts to friends while barring non-friends
from engaging in a trade that the Government
demanded stop.

So Tufton runs up his mouth, Walker ignores him
and who's bad?

This kind of mouth saying one thing
to hid the obverse actions is standard.

This was Bruce's signature.
It is also Holness.

Let's face it, Holness, like Golding has
a contempt for the 'little people'. He
is in power to make money and create debts.

Greg Christie might be a victim.
