Public Servants Monkey say Cool Breeze

Ah ‘member ah time ah did ask Justice Satrohan Singh how does he manage to give his quick decisions on his Cases. His answer was simple and straight. In SVG, de first step in de Justice System is de Mad-is-straight Court; one can appeal to de High Court, den to de Carry-beyond Court of Appeal, and finally de Privy Council dat Sir James had to reach to get his justice. And when all else fails, some of us fortunate ones, can turn to “de Special Court of Justice” on which dey’s ah Holy Tribunal comprising “ God de Father! Jesus Crist de Son and de Holy Spirit!” We doh have to go to papa!
So Lie-Za and I appealing to Public Servants, Teachers, Nurses Police Officers and others who are directly affected by de Court of Appeal ruling in de Covid -19 Vax-seen Mandate Case, “consider it pure joy, strengthen yuh faith whenever you face trials of many kinds!” read St. James 1 vs 2.  Firstly, appeal to de Privy Council foh yuh Justice. Secondly, go back to allyo wuk and give it yuh best shot! Thirdly take de NDP at its promise dat as long as de NDP form Go-venom- mint in SVG, dey will reinstate all public servants who would have lost salaries, pensions and any other benefit as ah result of dat draconian judgement in dey Covid-19 Vax-seen Mandate Case.
However, do not get involved in de politics of SVG. Yes support de party of yuh choice. Go back to allyo wuk. Monkey say Cool Breeze.

RALPH AND SHALLOW GOING HEAD TO-TOE

Lie-Za trying to get onto Vincent-shun born and bread, Dr Kiss-sure Shallow, President of Cricket West Indies (CWI) or Dr Fry-dey, President of de NDP to tell dem dat de PM is in shock upon hearing of de selection of “CWI” President Shallow as de NDP candidate foh de North Leeward Constituency; and to add insult to de ole man’s injury, is dat he Shallow say he will not demit office as CWI President while contesting the seat. Seems like dat Shallow is much deeper dan de Come-red thinks. All along ah noticed de PM was de Clerk of Works at Arnos Vale, morning, noon and night when dey were refurbishing de Field and Pavilions, dey even wanted to tek off “PH Veira” from de PH Veira Pavilion dat was built by de company in 1971. And please doh forget is de PM’s I-dare to build de swimming pools inside de park. Lie-Za overheard someone saying dat Ralph like he mek dem pools shallow foh Shallow when NDP tek office.
Now way all de bad feelings come from, was when Shallow and CWI Cricket Board members came here to inspect Ralph Pavilion, and widout asking any question, decided to tek-way de Governor General’s booth and give de Board; den allocate two poor key whole-size pavilion to Ralph and Shallow. Lie-Za say she believe Shallow tell dem all Ralph wants when he goes at any fun-shun way dey’s ah crowd : sports, religious or pull-it-tek all, just play de music loud and give him space to dance. And wid dat is gone ah gone again.
