Lenard Montoute and Therold Prudent were destined to duke it out for the Gros Islet constituency, since they were boys.

It was shot down by the opposition because of sloppy drafting, clumsy procedural errors and downright stupid and vicious wording. It
was supposed be the last mistake that the United Workers Party government allowed their hapless
attorney general, Nicholas Frederick, to [...]
Where is our national pride? We must have more national pride. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Perhaps what should be asked is, where does national pride come from? Does it grow on trees? If so, what kind of trees? And how do we grow more of it?
