We had a good laugh at Peter Turnquest who came out blazing on Friday morning in the press 17 April 2020 to denounce Philip Brave Davis, the Leader of the PLP, for daring to suggest that the Government was considering cutting the salaries of public servants by 20 per cent. He said it was not […]

POLICE AND RBDF TIRED AND UNDER PRESSURE
The FNM Government acts as if the uniformed services are machines.
