There's no racism in Trini protests or fetes. Talking about fetes, the new PM was set to attend her second of the week by making a "guest appearance" at the UNC Dollar Fete, I thought "guest appearance" was for singers and dancers but times, they're a-changing. Security for the WASA fete was said to be similar to that for the Fifth Summit of the Americas and CHOGM, those well-known events that put T&T high up onto the international scene. Concern however was raised by some policemen that routine police work, like preventing kidnappings or the breaking of traffic lights, or solving murders would suffer. Not a problem responded a couple of high-profile ministers, "we will be there!" Finally, as if to show the respect we have for health and life, there came the expected call for resumption of hangings by various religious leaders and the Ministry of Trade and Industry decided to allow the importation of those paradigms of good health, frozen fries and refined sugar, free entry into T&T. The minister is "working," said the head of the Supermarkets Association. Thank God somebody is.
