Thursdaytalk

Where is she?

It seems not everyone in the party is clamouring for ringside seats. Her absence from his side has many questioning her role and status!

Painful fall

They say the one who is suffering from a broken hip is because of his penchant for dressing up in high heels and garters.

It won't fly!

Some are now saying the strategy is very clear - blame it all on the civil servants and absolve the perpetrators of all culpability. Others cite problems with the scenario, as they say it won't fly with civil society, only with political diehards!

Good looking!

After six weeks abroad, she's back and friends say she is looking even younger than she did 30 years ago!

Mixed signals

Legal minds are in a quandary as to how the Prime Minister, who so stoutly defended the Constitution and the constitutional rights of Dudus in that extradition matter, did not make the same stout defence in relation to the case of dual citizenship that was potentially far more destabilising of the rights of Jamaicans and the Jamaican Constitution by all those who were elected fraudulently and with allegiance to another State.

Friends and family of a late, great thespian gathered for a worthy event in his honour on Monday, plus other happenings from a hectic weekend.
