Pepperpot – All bets are on

My girls, even those who don’t believe in gambling, are all ready to take bets that Antiguan Prime Minister Gaston Browne doesn’t win his seat or the election next time after his crass way of handling his orchestrated fight with Sandals. People are saying he is the biggest example of ingratitude after all that Sandals has done for Antigua. Good-hearted Antiguans are ashamed of him.

‘Babsy’ for information minister

People are saying that every time they watch TV news about anything concerning the media, it is ‘Babsy’ Grange that they see. They are asking why Senator Ruel Reid has gone AWOL. Prime Minister Andrew Holness should just give the information portfolio to Ms Grange.

Goodbye, old chap

I was off the island and so could not attend the funeral of Glenroy Sinclair last Sunday. But good friends report that the

Gleaner family did “Sinco” proud by helping to organise a wonderful send-off for the veteran journalist.

Wholesale migration

Staff at the wholesale establishment are said to be very nervous after hearing news that the owner has been quietly moving the money from the business to overseas. Rumours have it that he plans to migrate with his entire family. But not one dehgeh dehgeh word to the staff. Oh, dear!

Question of the week

Is Donald Trump really in it to win the presidency or just to further enrich himself?
