His is all that - and much much more - But hould you care yo write to him / his office - He does NOT respond So what is the benefit of all his other attribute - if he CANNOT communicate with his subjects - A MONOLOGUE IS NOT COMMUNICATION - Communication has two sides / parties / dogs in a fight... S on the face of it and based on personal experience - he is NONE of the things that you have credited him with However - An illusion is an illusion and each person has an absolute right to make their personal mistakes.. Ignorance - means that the person that th term rrefers to is unaware of certain facts - It ii so very frustrating that so many Jamaicans - claim that other Jamaicans are ignorant - when in point and in fact - the ones that call the other one ignorant - CAN'T READ .....

Yes you are correct - it does not matter if what he says is earth shattering or not - but that he does have something to say - Unfortunately he is both a shy person and lack certain amunt of confidence - so most of the time it would appear that someone else writes what he has to say And so if you should ask a question that is not in the script - he is inclined to paniek - recently during the ID debates - he was aksed a question by a young fellow - and instead of answerinfg the question He attacked the young fellow and started talking about Moral Authority and the like - but he never answerd the qustion I am distressed that he (being only in his 40+ doe snot have more Cahones - they talk endlessly about leadership = but has NO IDEA what it means I think even once each month - would show concerned Jamaicans not only that he cares - but that he is willing to engage with fellow Jamaicans - I wrote to him / office about 3 years ago I am still waiting for a response - The governments Main Function is to Create a Framework under which the citizens of Jamaica can live in harmony Currently and for over 50 years - successive Jamaican governments has only succeeded in incurring More Debt The The Jamaican Citizen's Main Function is not restricted to only listening to the Jamaican government - The citizens should Hold The Jamaican Government to Account Talking about GDP is rRed Herring - when you consider the Jamaican Taxpayer Burden of over US$500 billion - especially when there is NOUGHT to show for this money

That is not enough- it depends on which side of the bed you out of - it is not about feelings - it is about ability - Case in point - Jamaica's current debt is over US$ 500 so why did he increase the debt burden by burrowing more ? How is the ID card going to assist the unemployed in obtaining wok?

BigPete222 big Pete you need to explain to me about your good feelings about this Prime Minister because when he was on the good morning show in the UK I actually felt like he was dancing around certain questions I don't understand why he doesn't be honest and be more passionate like David Lammy where he is angry pissed off and annoyed that Theresa May had sent a lot of Jamaicans back home he wouldn't answer the question about how many people were sent back he said he don't know he doesn't have the numbers. Why wouldn't you have that when that's the first question people would ask people on RU-vid have uploaded their own video stating and showing that there a British citizen showing their British passport and being sent back to Jamaica why are you not writing down those figures why you not writing down people's names of the amount of people that been sent back home with no support. He was asked about do you think that the people are deserve compensation for been sent home he actually answered if they would been done wrong then yes I'm sorry from when they're imported you and you've been sitting on that f****** plane you should have got compensation first-hand no thinking no ahhh in no nothing from when I'm sitting on the plane and you've made me leave my family I should get compensation straight away not even a thought so I just feel that this prime minister is a very dodgy f***** he reminds me a little bit of Theresa May where he says things but we don't see in reality I just feel like it's more lip service again I wish someone had question him about David Cameron's suspicion conspiracy building a prison in Jamaica for UK black Jamaican citizens who have been thrown back to Jamaica over to be thrown in the prison why is that prison made as loads of undercover stuff that's going on that has not been exposed in the media and it's time for all of us to start doing a bit of research.

The current prime minister of Jamaica - Mr Andy Pandy - react the way that e does for several reasons 1) - Chronic Lack of Confidence 2) - Not Wanting to Rock The Boat 3)- Cannot Make Any Speech That is Not Written by Someone Elae 4) - Does NOT Have The Interest of Jamaican at Heart 5) - Is very Callous and Uncaring 6) - Is Not a Leader - But an Opportunistic Pr****** 7) - Instead of Developing prolicies to Assist the Deaperate in Jamaica - he has engaged a (ZOSO) - Zone of Special Operations - what a load of KRAP - in very simple English - A State of Emergency When any Country that does NOT have an Enemy - but have a STANDING ARMY - IT IS THE POPULATION THAT BECOME (de facto) THE ENEMY! 8) - After these years as so-called leader - there are NO EMPLOYMENT POLICIES - There are NO PROJECTS - THAT ENGAGES ALL THE POPULATION - BUT ESPECIALLY THE UN-EMPLOYED - THERE IS NOTHING - EXCEPT THE STATE OF EMERGENCY - WHEN ALL HOPE IS LOST - ONLY HATE REMAINS IN Jamaica there is very little hope - unless you are connected - if you write a letter to the so-called leaders - they never ever respond - if you write a letter to the prime minister - Mr Andy Pandy - He never ever responds..and yet - My Andy Pandy regards himself as a LEADER 9) - A leader of what exactly? In Jamaica - the CONNECTED ONLY COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER - the rest of the population is left to ROT by their OWN DEVICES - resulting IN the high levels of HATE (EVEN SELF HATE) AND CRIME 10) - BEARING IN MIND THAT - YOU CANNOT MAKE AN OMLETTE - UNLESS - YOU FIRST BREAK AN EGG - UNLESS YOU CRITICIZE WHAT IS OR WHAT IS TO BE - YOU CANNOT MAKE ANY IMPROVEMENT(S) - IT IS EVERY CITIZENS (DUTY) - TO CRITICIZE THE GOVERNMENT - AND BY SO DOING - HOLD THE GOVERNMENT TO ACCOUNT FOR ITS ACTIONS OR LACK OF ACTIONS However in Jamaica - if you ask any question of the government - you are treated as a nuisance - but you never get any response - all the institutions in Jamaica conduct business in the same manner - You are regarded as a nuisance. And so you have a CLASSIC "RABBIT HOLE MENTALITY - WHERE ONLY THE CONNECTED ARE ALLOWED TO SURVIVE" - The practical application of KAOS THEORY -

The Connected / Educated Jamaicans ignore you The Uneducated /Uunconnected Jamaicans Verbally Abuse you That is the environment in Jamaica in 2018 o nice speeches are 10 for a penny - 100 for a Jamaican $

The government main function is to create a FRAMEWORK under which the population can live in harmony 1) - Jamaicans are over the eyeballs in debt - that they can never ever repay - especially as the majority of the population are (forced) to work for minimum wage 2) - Some years ago - I think in 2010, 70 persons were killed by a combination of the JDF and JCF - bearing in mind that !Any country - that has No Enemy - but has a Standing Army - It is the population that de facto - becomes the enemy - the current environment is a special case in point 3) - It is the populations ABSOLUTE DUTY to HOLD the government to ACCOUNT - in every single case - however on account of the fact - that the population is a wee bit challenged in the upstairs department - Any comment / disagreement / alternative point of view - any concern for fellow Jamaican is taken as a direct verbal abuse of the prime minister ONLY Jesus Christus is above critizism - You CANNOT make an Omlette - without breaking EGGS - If you never criticise anything - there is NO WAY for anything to improve 4) This a very special situation in Jamaica - Those that are educated / connected - say nothing Those that have no voice say nothing - dont know what to say And those that do speak up - is piloried by such as yourself - unfortunately - Because if you knew an onze of what is good for you - you would never ever defend a politician - unless they are paying you You seem to be under the illussion that all these people go into politics for your benefit If that was the case - whey no policy on youth un-employment? Why the mountain of debt? Why schools that are not fir for purpose? You attitude is one of the mail reasons that the country is in the state vis-a-vis / Schools / Hospitals / Roads made of Marl - when there is Volcanic rock available The government is NOT a fountain of knowledge - they are swamped by advisors / consultants / speech - writers - who tell him what to do + scores of LOBBIST who need SPECIAL DEALS - Please bar in mind and do remember that; Other people's rare end is meant to be sat on - and not to be kissed, ok

It is fascinating - that Andrew Holness goes to Brussels to give a speech to Jamaicans - - I am going to listen to see if he has anything to say - however before I do I must confess - that the Jamaican government does NOT engage in dialogue with Jamaicans - They engage in a MONOLOGUE - I lived next-door to government house some years ago I had to pay Jamaican Customs JA$ 30, 000+ to import old documents that I had written while I lived in UK, there was no exception and no comment that these old documents had NO COMMERCIAL VALUE - pay up I wrote to he then government of Jamaica - in essence saying that I had return to Jamaica and wish to make some small contributions - No respnse There is a chap who is head of returning Jamaicans - so I wrote to him and we had a meeting - he bragged how close he was to the then prime minister and then asked why I wanted a meeting with the government When I told him, he replied that Canadians / Americans and British were already doing what I had suggested - so he did of see the point of me having a discussion with the government He later invited me to a returning Jamaicans diner - so I was very polite in telling him what he could better do instead. When the new government was formed - I subsequently wrote the the prime ministers office - this is about (3 years ago) - I am still waiting for a response.. If it does not appear that you have not just come from the offices of USAID - you wil not appear in the conciousness of "Connected Jamaicans" - and so - apart from nice-sounding speeches - there is absolutely nothing - no communication - no dialogue - nothing contact. The point is - it does NOT matter how great his speech has been - in reality it DOES NOT AMOUNT TO DIDLY-SQUAT - once he has moved on from his speech - you don't exist...

sabby good any and every individual who import anything into any country has to pay tax on it, all jamaican Returning residents are allowed to bring in their own personal items tax free, if you were importing those documents into the country, on a separate occasion, then they were not declared as part of your own personal effects, that's why it was right and proper, that you were Required to pay the custom duty/tax on it, the prime minister said that through fiscal discipline our debt has been Reduce from from 140% of GDP, to 105% of GDP, still a long way to go, I have to Remind you that Governments get their income from General taxation, which is then spent on hospitals, schools, Roads, and other parts of the Society, So you should stop your whinging and whining, and pay your tax like everyone else, why do you believe that you are entitled to special treatment or special privileges???

I would Love to hear your answer; you're Anti Jamaican go back to where you were Living, they may give you special treatment and exempt you from paying taxes;

And in regard Jamaica being in good hands...it’s in the hands of England, America and now China. Stop the grand standing and increase the security in Jamaica.

The other and more important point is this; I am a Jamaican - been one almost twice as our dear prime minister I wrote to him about 3 years ago and never even had confirmation that they recceived my email Now - if he / his office could not afford me the common decency of responding to me email - requesting a dialogue Why on earth should I waste my time listening to anything that he has to say I do NOT need his vote - He needs mine Savvy The fact is as a returning Jamaican (who has some skills and expertise) to offer the development of other Jamaicans in the business sector - I have been treated as if I am a leper back from a leper colony Even a current professor lady currently at UWI - but previously at UTECH - says she, "We call you English ha ha " Another point - If you live in Holland / Beligum - they the Belgian lady will be very helpful - should you go to her with a problem which is in her remit to resolve If you live in the UK and you goto the Jamaican Embassy - you get absolutely No Assistance - you will be very lucky to be verbally abused. - that has been my experience - and I had a Jamaican passport from 1966
