Whew! Oh boy, shame and scan­dal in the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress fam­i­ly.Just when peo­ple were as­sim­i­lat­ing the furore gen­er­at­ed by cab­i­net min­is­ters Glenn Ra­mad­hars­ingh and Chan­dresh Shar­ma, we were sub­ject­ed to a sec­ond al­leged mis­deed by these gen­tle­men.Well, I could be for­giv­en for para­phras­ing the sec­ond line in this com­men­tary, ex­tract­ed from one of Lord Melody's fa­mous ca­lyp­soes, and paint the en­tire UNC for the al­leged mis­con­duct of the duo, but that wouldn't be fair, would it?

How­ev­er, I could not help but think about that kaiso in re­la­tion to the on­go­ing con­tro­ver­sies in­volv­ing the dis­missed min­is­ters, the main char­ac­ters in this true-life, but sor­ry, melo­dra­ma.This think­ing was al­so in­formed by the hyp­o­crit­i­cal pos­tur­ing of politi­cians and pseu­do-politi­cians, some of them elo­quent­ly de­scribed as the "ra­dio gestapo" by Dr Mor­gan Job, whose sole pur­pose seems to be vi­cious­ly at­tack­ing the PP ad­min­is­tra­tion for any re­al or per­ceived in­frac­tions on its part.

The un­der­ly­ing theme of all their con­tri­bu­tions is the re­moval of the Gov­ern­ment if pos­si­ble, long be­fore the con­sti­tu­tion­al­ly due date, some­time in 2015.But that is their de­mo­c­ra­t­ic right. Again I am para­phras­ing: all is fair in love and pol­i­tics, and be­lieve me, I can­not wait for the ball to be kicked off for the cam­paign of the 2015 polls.
