Where is our dignity?
Dear Editor,
I want to think that all our heroes are upset with us. No heroism is left in the entire country. No one to step to the fore and advocate for the nation, no leadership.
The prime minister of Britain visited us with a platter of money and our Government wined and dined him. Money come! But with it comes repatriated prisoners; just the right set of people to build our already crime-burdened society.
Where is our pride and dignity? Did it go through the window, due to poverty and despair?
We were colonised by the British, we presently have a governor general, we are part of the British Commonwealth, yet in this era a Jamaican woman who has a child in Great Britain will have to search for a birthplace for her child, as that child will not automatically become a citizen of UK. I would rather say “God bless America”.
