Frankly Speaking

The world according to Buxtonian David One could easily imagine – and/or appreciate – the “tons” of commentaries, since Sunday, in print and “on air”, surrounding the emergence of the Irfaan Ali Presidency.

– My usual three Emancipation “mischiefs” Wonder what did yesterday come up with?

Appreciating PNC mind-control successes Of course friends, I would expect no sympathy for my self-imposed dilemma.

Unfortunate lessons in PNC character-abuse Some of you (“regulars”) will recognize, even appreciate, that it’s not easy for me to avoid local politics altogether these days.

– PPP? PNC? How “inclusive”? Look friends! If others don’t do it; haven’t done it, I do it here now.

– Another long-lasting generational wedge? As one with a little hands-on knowledge – (not “expertise?”)

-Victoria: – More fallout from the Floyd protests As like last Friday, again as this is being written earlier in this week, I am/we are not blessed with any conclusion to the March 02 elections.

-The Floyd protests – A few consequences Please note that these views were penned before GECOM’s Fit-and-Proper Iron-Lady Chairperson pronounced on Recount Results or any possible final fateful declaration.

The PNC and our judiciary Regulars – and my editor – will realise that today’s offering will be most brief.

Some suggestions for His Excellency’s charm offensive [So most of you still have absolute confidence in the GECOM Iron Lady’s long count?

The Iron Lady’s long count, plus… Could it be political immaturity, inspired by an ageing mind, which prevents me from ever accepting the PPP’s Mohamed Irfaan as President of our Guyana Republic?

-The PNC and the USA Guess what friends. I managed to attract robust criticism from anti-PNC folks for referring still to my mantra before last March 02.

(Re)-Count me out! I noticed, just recently, that the accomplished singer-composer-columnist, Mr Dave Martins returned to the issue of this country’s diversity welcoming its positives for what is sometimes a fractured society.

The proud descendants of those First Coolies Okay, okay friends. You’re absolutely correct.

Guyana’s political-bullyism master-class What’s your preference to describe today’s national holiday?

-Sad unending power-lust Even as I feel that this which you now read should be my final lamentation of regret over the diminished status of a Party I once embraced, I know that my peers, the age-group oldsters – still tribal and loyal will fume at my derogation, disparagement of “my old party” – the People’s National Congress (PNC).

“Thanks to the President’s Leadership…” PNC War room: Dire concerns, challenges Compared to the real or contrived confidence, exuberance and positive positions regarding the polls before March 02, this first war-room emergency session since election day was sombre, somewhat gloomily uncertain.

“Stay Home! Stay Home!” What Home? Look friends, very recently I’ve been telling myself – not always convincingly- that the People’s National Congress (PNC) and GECOM’s Secretariat under former Officer Lowenfield, have won!

-The Virus, The Holy Father, The church The old PNC – (People’s National Congress) – friend accosted me.

– Concerning “Warrior-President” Volda Woe unto us in the middle these days.
