An interview with Comrade Aubrey Norton

-When good police can do nothing more

Of course I first interacted with the much-younger Linden product Aubrey Norton during my own by-gone “PNC days” (1973-1997). During that quarter of a century PNC Socialist Leader LFS Burnham encouraged the use of the appellation “comrade” as the PPP did. Even though Guyana’s Constitution still advises that the state is “transitioning” towards “socialism” and even though there are few capitalist-minded “comrades” left in either party. I choose to address PNC and Opposition Leader as “Comrade Norton”. Why? Ho-ho-ho.

The following is a very summarised question-and-answer session I conducted with Comrade Aubrey. In my imagination.

Me: Greetings and welcome Comrade Aubrey. Thanks for your time and indulgence. Upfront how do you regard your election as Party Leader beating Mr. Harmon in a very low turnout of your party’s members to vote last December?
