Tuesday talk

A star is born

Some people are asking what the professor will do with his time when all this is over and done. One person close to him is suggesting he may now turn his attention to his number-one client who has several pending lawsuits seeking to recover sums from US$500 to thousands of US dollars. But there are other suggestions he is heading to Hollywood.

Where did the money come from?

Political contributions will be scrutinised in the days ahead to see which 'dons' were supporting who with their bloody dollars. Seems the largesse was distributed on both sides and, surprise, surprise, it is believed the one on the run was generous in his donations to a big voice on the opposite side.

Some Jamaicans are perplexed that even in these days of 'knock-down' room rates, which has seen some properties offering discounts of 60 per cent, Jamaicans are still being asked to pay the original rates. Many are predicting that when the tourists stop coming they will have to try and woo the homies.

Wait for the scoop

There are shocking revelations about who assisted with the preparations, including erecting barricades. the evidence will come to light in good time.
