I guess the &quot;Sir&quot; Trevor, would most likely think of Britain as his territory. What I don't know is whether he was knighted in his native twin state of T&amp;T or since he lived in the UK... It really shouldn't matter because he has lost stature in the eyes of Jamaicans everywhere!... When an immigrant from the WI living in Britain allows himself to be &quot;used&quot; for negative purposes against a member of his own geographic region, it tells us that he is a &quot;big time Sellout&quot;... As a &quot;bawn Trni&quot;, he has further damaged the relationship between Jamaica and Trinidad and may be contributing towards affecting the relationship between Jamaica and the UK... He should be BANNED forthwith from visiting Jamaica again... People who tek libbati wid wi, both &quot;User and Usee&quot; should feel our wrath and by starting with him, it should send a message to others of his ilk that we will no longer accept such behaviour... Enough is Enuff!!!


</div></div>


LOL !...but seriously,how is he gonna &quot;feel our wrath&quot;..except for a few angry letters to medium he doesnt even read...?

I mean,I doubt very much the guy has ever been to jamaica prior to this &quot;sell out&quot; occasion,...and probably wont be going back in a hurry,....but its funny though to hear of someone being punished by being banned from jamaica...poor sir trev,..homie will be crying in his cornflakes when he hears that he wont be allowed back in jamaica,just when he was getting accustomed to being around all that drugs,crime,and murders that is an everyday occurence there.

That is what I am saying, why waste our wrath on the &quot;Sir&quot; for allowing himself to be used like a piece of toilet paper?

A foolishness dat. I think Barosa was not referring to the Sir in particular, but to all those who cum a-grinning, while coming to LIE and stir up trouble.

I wonder why he couldn't give more details of his experience in his baawn grung TnT..Mebbie he was ashamed for the crew to really see where him cum fram, as well as they cudd've bin attacked and him shame fi talk, who knows and dem cut di trip shaawt....if mi goh back 'ome, mi wudda insist to see where I spent at least my childhood.

Morer like the &quot;Sir&quot; crying in his roti Neutral, while trying to hum <span style="font-weight: bold">Captain, the Ship is Sinking.&quot;</span>



4 The Sinking Ship (Gypsy, 1986)

The Trinidad, a luxury liner
Is sailing the Caribbean sea
With an old captain named Eric Williams
For years sailed smooth and free
But sadly Eric Williams passed away
The ship hit rough water that day
And someone turned the bridge over
To a captain named Chambers
Made blood crawl, things start to fall

(Chorus)<span style="font-weight: bold">

Captain, the ship is sinking
Captain, the seas are rough
Shall we abandon ship?
Or shall we stay on it
And perish slow? We don’t know
Captain you tell me what to do</span>

<span style="font-style: italic">Fyah deh a rattah tail, im call ie cool breeze</span>

Neutral, Your comments above were read and digested. I did not respond as timely as I used to because of time restraint. However, you were helped out by the comments from the Doc and britisha. I will add my two bits now to augment what was said. I did not mean that he personally would feel our wrath by him beeing banned to visit our shores. ~ He will feel it in other ways, we can only hope...

Our govt is not one that would be in favour of banning any citizen of the UK ; it would create &quot;bad karma&quot; and achieve very little or next to nothing... However, to express our desire if needs be, not only for the &quot;Sir&quot; but for others who feel they need to follow his example, it will send a clear message. It is simply that our cordiality does not extend to those visiting our shores to report negatively us to the rest of the world...

Re: Trini dishes it to Jamaica....Ministry strikes back

I hear you,however,I think we have much bigger fish to fry,us as jamaicans shouldnt be bogged down by the likes of such documentaries,they are just another symptom of the larger picture of how jamaica is perceived by some,...I think we need to channell our energies into lobbying the gov to do something.

As for sir trev,it`s clear to everyone that the program is massively biased,I mean,the guy goes to the caribbean and seeks out white entrepeneurs to interview.

Neutral,
Specifically what do you think the government can or will do in the unlikely event that lobbying is successful to ameliorate the problems enumerated in the article?

Nicely said although personally I feel that petitioning the sort of government that exists in Jamaica (and the USA) is a huge waste of time.
Why should they NOW start listening and acting upon the wishes of the electorate.
They are RINOs (representatives in name only).
Ostensibly and maybe at the beginnings of the respective countries, those elected did really represent the electorate but is there anyone who seriously believes that this is the case at present?

Petitioning is like making wee-wee into a hurricane.
