It's another activity-filled week on the social scene.

What's up here?

1.Question of the Week: "Why are some elected officials set on trying to devalue the office of contractor general instead of simply doing the right thing?"

Unkind cut

2.Some are saying the unkindest cut of all was not delivered by K.D. Knight, but by her party leader, and this has left her and her supporters asking, "Et tu, Brute"?

Big legal bill

3.The 'upstanding' one who would block a development in his neighbourhood because the builders refused to meet his terms for allowing the construction to proceed - a free unit for one of his sons - now has a whopping legal bill!

Ghosts of apartheid

4.Some are saying if the best the new administrators of Jamaican cricket can do is resurrect ghosts of apartheid by honouring Lawrence Rowe, then the local game is set to go the way of the regional body, where the game is being managed into the ground!

No way!

5.Stories are that he was being touted for the job but this did not go down well at all within party circles! The senior man, who was being reassigned, opted to leave rather than accept the appointment!

In charge, in control

6.Some say she has broken every canon of the profession! Double dealt on every major undertaking by representing both vendor and purchaser. And where bullying has failed, has resorted to compromising would-be arbitrators by offering them employment and thereby delay the process.

Get them out!

7.Observers are now saying it's time the immigration unit and the police start cracking down on the illegal immigrants living here. They say the situation is approaching crisis proportions as a number of them are now figuring in high-profile activities.
