This is a picture which appeared in a report by the Guardian Newspaper, dated 1st November, 2009, of WITCO Executive Director, Sheldon Taitt, Arima MP Penelope Beckles and Asa Wright Nature Centre's Chairman Carol James, together in a symbolic tree planting at the Centre on 23rd October.
I almost fell over when I read the story...Carol apparently said "stop the rape of the Northern Range to feed the construction sector"...and Penelope replied "lambasting indiscriminate quarrying". Oh please, "hold meh"...This is the same Penelope Beckles who DEREGULATED THE QUARRYING SECTOR IN 2007..."hold meh"..."stop please". It was Penelope when she was Minister of Housing, Planning and Environment who introduced the ORDER in parliament which removed quarrying from the EMA's list of 'Designated Activities' which legally required environmental accountability in the quarrying sector. Now there is no law. Quarry Operators can now do as they please lick up everything....Penelope you must feel that people real real real stupid. But I assure you, we are not as stupid as you are a hypocrite.
Oh god they lant back ah tree, well thats it we safe now, they could go ahead and build some smelters now, all they have to do is plant back one more tree, yuh damn right, hypocarcy stinking up this damn place
ReplyDeleteNo-one should expect any degree of competence or coherence from the PNM Ministers. They are chosen for their loyalty to Party and not to Country and Citizens. They will all be hoping to save enough $$ (fair means or foul) to high tail it to NY or Miami or Canada if things become too unbearable in T&T. Most of them don't have any true professional skills...Turd world syndrome....
