Letters to the Editor

The silence behind the violence 10:00 pm

Dear Editor,We have entered a new year. A year in which Jamaica will celebrate 60 years of Independence, but it has already been marred by several gruesome murders.

An unnecessary ministry handed to the wrong person 10:00 pm
Dear Editor,

Boosters for life? 8:40 pm
Dear Editor,One has to take Prime Minister Andrew Holness's now infamous statement, “Argument done,” in context. Jamaica is evidently battling concurrently the three big Cs — crime, corruption, and COVID-19.

Maroons were not the only saboteurs

Dear Editor, Please allow me space in your paper to rebut a letter posited by Teddylee Gray on Tuesday, January 18 titled 'Jamaica may need to reconsider Nanny's status'.

Government must work for all

Thursday, January 20, 2022

Dear Editor,What should the nation expect from the recently reshuffled Cabinet? The comments thus far have been other than complimentary and are indicative of the apathy that has permeated the psyche of the average citizen.

Life mimics art?

Dear Editor,Not all parts of our culture is good for us, and that's my opinion.The debate over whether or not our culture/entertainment plays a role in 'badmanising' young men of this country has been a long and exhaustive one.

Dear Editor,Dr Christopher Tufton is a man for all seasons for many reasons.

Quit the griping and play!

Dear Editor,I have read with interest comments made by West Indies white-ball Captain Kieron Pollard — a virtual cricketing infant — in his post-mortem on the disappointing results of the series against Ireland.

Young people need a better chance

Wednesday, January 19, 2022

Dear Editor,It is hard not to be moved by the severity and bloodiness of our crime situation.Last week's slashing of the nine-year-old autistic boy's throat was very stomach-churning.

Weakness for wickedness

Wednesday, January 19, 2022

Dear Editor,Jamaicans seem to have an unwarranted and unique weakness towards crime and violence. Weakness may seem like a paradox within an ethos that is always charged with blown-up egos and aggression.

More irie, less Anansi

Tuesday, January 18, 2022

Dear Editor,If there were to be an “irie” leader, then one would expect him or her to be birthed and/or raised in Jamaica, the birthplace of irie.

Jamaica may need to reconsider Nanny's status

Tuesday, January 18, 2022

Dear Editor,Since Colonel Richard Currie wants to spew his divisive rhetoric to divide Jamaica, he should know that many people who consider themselves Jamaicans aren't fans of the Maroons.

The colonel is mistaken

Dear Editor,

Pay it forward, Floyd Green

Monday, January 17, 2022

Dear Editor,I saw Floyd Green on social media thanking everyone for his second coming and explaining how he just always wanted to serve.

It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan

Monday, January 17, 2022

Dear Editor,The Omicron variant has been the unwelcome Christmas/new year's gift that you try not to open or wish you could return without offending anyone.
