EDITOR, The Tribune.
IT IS not my practice to engage in lengthy correspondence with another through the pages of your newspaper. However, circumstances alter cases, and I find myself engaged in one with the Hon Fred Flag Burning Mitchell, me by letter to the editor and him by voice note on social media.
However, as much as I have enjoyed and been amused by our tete a tete, I am calling it quits, but, if the converted PLP now chairman wants to continue he can do so with my blessings.
But, before I put down my pen I wish to thank the Hon Minister for proving my case beyond a reasonable doubt that he is unsuited to hold the office of Foreign Minister. For, with Haiti in turmoil, envoys being recalled, crime out of control and other problems in the country, our well paid and well travelled Minister has the time to issue voice notes filled with diatribe and insults against me, a private senior citizen, with no clout. Really, Mr Mitchell!
I would commend the following words from the bard to Mr Mitchell - “Those whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.”

Sadly, Ms. Thompson speaks the truth. Like most truths in this country, albeit abounding in utter failures of the State, few have the intellect or honesty to admit them. Thompson is exactly on point as to the failures at hand. Our government is dysfunctional, propped up by absolute ignorance of the majority. Anyone who spends time in Nassau, and comes away without holding their nose has simply given up on the idea that humanity has a chance of improving.

@birdiestrachan is definitely one of the more ignorant and rabid of the government's supporters, and most of us long since gave up on the idea that it has a chance of improving. Even your fellow sycophant, bun butterer Ortland Bodie, has been giving Minister Mitchell stick for some of his most recent faux pas.

Chess is mostly a a battle between two queens of different colours. Pawns must be sacrificed to defend the king as we saw at a recent national televised event. When the ping is captured the game is over.

@hrysippus, are you referring to a certain Queen recently insulting the ping or is that game over too?
