- We don’t have to send flowers to Buckingham Palace. But, we can be silent. It’s basic human dignity. These mean-spirited comments are unworthy. A family has lost its matriarch. A country its monarch. Is it beyond us to pause our differences and allowing them to mourn in peace?
- For the record, I'm unashamedly a JESUS man. I believe in HIS power to perform miracles. I've seen them with my own eyes. I'm a witness. But, there's a chasm between faith and folly. Disobeying the government's anti-COVID-19 restrictions isn't faith. It's folly.
- The world witnessed history today. @FastElaine is a phenom. @realshellyannfp is one of the best to ever do it. @sherickajacko is an entire constellation. And, @brianastarr21, we see you coming young Queen. Congrats to Jamaica's reigning Sprint Queens. You're all royal.
- At this rate we might as well change Jamaica’s country code from 876 to 123. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
- Dear @jlpjamaica and the @JamaicaPNP, You can't apply for the work to govern, get the job at the polls and then say my predecessor used to do it too. Nobody forced you to apply. Be better or don't offer yourself as an alternative. It's that simple.
- Congrats to one of @Nationwideradio's finest, Khadine Hylton aka @fluffymisskitty, on being called to the Jamaican Bar. She's officially an Officer of the Court. Counsel, your ratings tall from shoes tongue to grung. May 'Fadda' GOD continue to bless you with good success.
- Jamaica’s minimum wage could have been increased by 103 per cent, bringing it to $14,210. We did it for parliamentarians 20 years ago. We could have done it now for the poor. It would have been fair.
- PM @AndrewHolnessJM took a gamble and Jamaica lost big. His decision to relax the gathering limits and reopen the entertainment sector wasn't supported by the science & decried by scientists. And, the behavioural science told us many J'cans would've abused the modified measures.
- Sometimes it feels like Jamaica needs a battery pull.
- If you've not seen this video as yet, please spare the time to watch it. @ParchmentHansle is a real big man. He went back to show his gratitude to a complete stranger who helped him in a time of need. And, big up to that special volunteer for her kindness.
- It’s utterly scandalous that Jamaica’s Govt amended the law to allow MPs and Councillors to move about freely on ‘no movement’ days even outside of official duties while ordinary people had to stay at home. No wonder there’s a trust deficit between our people and politicians.
