ONLINE FEEDBACK

Below is feedback from readers from our website www.jamaica-gleaner.com re yesterday's lead story 'Lay off Babsy'.

unfit for high office

The kids are right. Babsy has no business holding such a high office in the first place. She is one of the reasons why there is such little hope in Jamaica at this time.

- Andy Wilson

protective 'shield'

Typical politics. Didn't the youth leaders say it? Speaking out does not make things better. The protective shield has fallen into place!

- Lindsay

childish administration

Why is it that members of this administration feel that they are above criticism? They are extremely immature and unenlightened. They fail to use broad-based consultations and constantly make decisions.

This is because they do not listen to what those outside the party are saying. They operate strictly in the interests of the party.

grange's magic touch

Grange has a special touch in dealing with youths. Maybe she does not flaunt all she does for everyone to know.

Give youth priority

There is simply no need for either Babsy Grange or Warren Newby to be so defensive, because it is clear this portfolio is not being seen as a priority.

Newby, listen to what your clients are saying! They are the important ones, not Babsy.

- Kris

weakest link

I wonder if Newby thinks all the youth leaders in Jamaica have lost their minds. His comment is so shamefully lame. Babsy's performance has been a woeful disaster as she has failed every sector she represents. She has failed the music and entertainment people, taking expensive trips that did nothing for the artistes.

Thanks to her 'excellent' planning, there is no Gibson Relays this year, so she has failed the sports people. And now she has disappointed the youth. She is the Government's weakest link in an already fragile chain.

- Miss Havisham

show your worth

At least Newby has the cojones to say that he is responsible for the management of the youth portfolio.

Critics, bring your proof. Senator, prove them wrong. Fix what needs fixing, move on to the next task or move out.

pr disaster

Knee-jerk reaction to the truth as usual. These people are shamelessly ignorant and have no clue about PR. This will be a disaster.
