I was the happiest person in 2010. After all that has happened since, I prefer to see someone else as UNC prime minister, along with the exit and/or jail for moonilal, anil, Barry, &&, tancoo, shanty, nakhid, Ralph maraj and khadijah. I suspect many in the population will agree.Mmoney607 wrote:wing wrote:Yes, ashes in PNM die hard areas, but they doing the necessary in the right areas to ensure victory again.

So if kamla take your advice and get into power, you would be happy?

It's been 9 years since pnm became the government, nobody making a jail.
That's just the age old hopium politicians sell to the masses about the opposing side.

It is because ppl are misinformed about civics.
The PNM nor the UNC govts can’t lock up anybody. Arrests are done by the TTPS and charges are laid on advice of the DPP. Locking up is sentence of the Judiciary. All of them are independent of what any govt can do.
The only person to go through the entire process was Vincent Nelson who was convicted and sentenced for a corruption scheme with a certain govt minister giving kickbacks after filing frivolous lawsuits. He didn’t get lock up because he made a plea deal.
Anand Ramlogan was arrested for witness tampering in a lawsuit against Dr Rowley. Plus he and Gerald Ramdeen were arrested for being implicated in a corruption conspiracy. We are still waiting on completion of the witness tampering case but charges have been dropped in the corruption conspiracy because a key witness is unwilling to testify.
It is the TTPS and Judiciary who are dropping the ball and dragging their foot. But recently the govt won back in Florida civil courts almost $1B in corrupted money from the Piarco Airport Project. All while the case is dragging in local courts.
But to saying nothing has happened is inaccurate.
Habit7 wrote:But you conveniently left out everyone, I wonder why too.
Since Nelson is guilty of defrauding the state, there must have been a state actor who facilitated him. Since Nelson paid kickbacks, somebody received it. Two hands had to clap, and that other hand was a politician who is choosing to be a thorn in the side of the govt until another way to convict him is found.
There was Marlene who died before her case was completed.
Panday is only one who was actually sentenced to 2yrs in prison but got his conviction tossed out.
Eric Williams and Franklin Khan were arrested based on bogus claims by Dhansam Dhansook
Dhanraj Singh was arrested and jailed for murder for 2yrs until he was acquitted.
Glen Ram and Sangre Grande councillor were charged for separate bribery claims.
I can't think of anymore. But just like men said before the PNM don't infight and I had to recount all the PNM infighting, politicians are arrested and serve jail time. But unlike the common man with some legal aid lawyer, they most times have the resources to afford top lawyers who will defend them well or get them acquitted based on errors in the case.
Panday spent almost a Yr in jail?Habit7 wrote:Except for Panday who spent almost a year in prison and Dhanraj who spent 2yrs.
For them to leave their palatial homes and spend a night in MSP far less months and years is a fate nobody can tempt.
Lawyers for convicted Opposition Leader Basdeo Panday will go to Port-of-Spain High Court today, where they are expected to appeal the decision handed down yesterday by Chief Magistrate Sherman McNicolls.
McNicolls found the former prime minister guilty on all three counts of failing to declare a London bank account to the Integrity Commission for the years 1997, �98 and �99, contrary to Section 27 (1)(b) of the Integrity in Public Life Act, 1987.
Panday was remanded into the custody of the T&T Prisons Service, after being sentenced to a term of two years' imprisonment with hard labour. He was eventually taken to the Maximum Security Prison in Arouca.
He was also ordered to pay more than $1.8 million to the State.
The defence team made an application yesterday to go before a judge in chambers for bail, after McNicolls denied the 72-year-old politician bail, pending the outcome of the appeal.
Friday is the day normally set aside for such applications, unless the case is deemed an emergency and an earlier date is given.
Until then, the UNC political leader will spend the next few days in jail until his lawyers can secure his bail.

Not ur error, u did this on purpose.Habit7 wrote:My error. Panday was sentenced 2yrs in jail of which he served a few days before he was able to secure bail while it was being repealed.

U knew very well it was only a few days he spent but tried to spin in a different narrative.
Besides it has all trumped up charges and fake sentences by a corrupted PNM legal system

He was sentenced to 2yrs in jail and a year later on appeal it was determined that there was a mistrial. I thought he spent the time in jail but he got bail shortly after the sentence. Nevertheless, he still went to jail which refutes the claim that politicians don't go to jail.
You want to challenge Dhanraj Singh's time in jail too?

You said and spin ur lies than Panday spent a Yr in jail which was false.Habit7 wrote:You jump in like a Wednesday but don’t understand. The claim was made that no politician makes a jail. This was refuted by recalling all the politicians that made a jail including Panday and Dhanraj Singh, one night or 2yrs they made a jail which we are told is not nice.

Dooks mistake was going against the silver fox and Jack. I was there at the epic election rally in mid center mall, that has to be the biggest crowd I have seen and that put paid to the COPs chances. That was a master stroke of politics and organisation to assemble the massive show of support and put doubt in many UNC voters who were previously willing to give cop a chance.VexXx Dogg wrote:wing wrote:Those were the days.

I felt that way when COP got serious overall numbers. I had hope for Dooks vision and the people he had around him.
Then it all went to sheit faster than you could spell it
