LINCOLN BAIN MUST PAY SAYS PRIVY COUNCIL
Lincoln Bain is a political charlatan. Everyone but those who follow him in COI affectionately known in the PLP as the Coalition of Idiots. He has been involved in every crooked political scheme you can think of and the latest venture COI is another act of political dishonesty. Yet that dishonesty gathered him almost ten per cent of the votes in some places in the 2021 election, enough to throw the election to others but not enough to win a seat or retain a deposit. That has not stopped him from the charade of being a political leader. Neither did a case brought by a woman who he bilked of 60 k plus dollars in a business deal gone bad. He appealed it to the Court of Appeal and lost. He refused to pay. The Court of Appeal refused him leave to appeal to the Privy Council. He went to the council itself and the Council last week tossed the appeal. It did not even hear the case because it said there were not reasonable arguments to consider. Mr. Bain seemed sanguine when he got the verdict. He said that since the court had spoken he would pay. That lady shouldn’t count her pennies yet.
RUDE IMMIGRATION OFFICER SHOULD BE FIRED
There was a ceremony by the Immigration Department on Friday 25 July 2025 at the British Colonial Hotel to welcome the new officers to their ranks following a massive promotion exercise by the Department. There was one officer who did not appreciate the promotion. They say her name is Poitier and she believed that she should have been promoted to Assistant Director and thought her coming to the ceremony was a waste of her time. We wonder if the promotion should still stand. Perhaps it ought to be rescinded. She gave a look as they say cutting her eyes at all of the officials. The video of her rudeness went viral. The rescission should go viral as well.
NexGen Closes Out For The Year
From Facebook:
It was a pleasure to join, for a cameo appearance at the closing out banquet for this year’s NexGen Programme sponsored by Senator Ronnie Duncombe, good company. I met my colleagues including Senator Darren Pickstock, Ministers Pia Glover Rolle, Zane Lightbourne, Parliamentary Secretaries Bacchus Rolle and Jamahl Strachan and the son of former MP Ron Pinder who towers over us all. Congratulations Senator Duncombe. I didn’t get the memo to wear sneakers but Mrs Ann Marie Davis kindly facilitated the picture anyway and Minister Glover Rolle said that since I had rubber soled shoes that was fine. Good to see friends Ian Potier and Rik Mr PLP
