Damion Gordon go have several seats. I am sure you heard the apology immediately. – @dunkirkkgn16

It is true cuz common sense must tell u a political rally is different from a stage show and respect is due to ur audience. When them say a bhutto is just a bhutto it is so true! – @PaperworkE83091

Hypocritical comment, no one said anything when MPs who should know better spewed disparaging insults at the Opposition leader! Moral compass raises its head when it suits some set of people in Jamaica! – @Ada0913Mat87292

Not too sure the issue we are trying to prevent: coarse language? People going off script? I think we have rules in both parties on what happens on stage. And no dis to those outraged by Law Boss’ statements, they would be already outraged and are not the target audience. – @gavinmyaz

Who certain entertainers appeal to is who they need the votes from so it’s not gonna work. They gonna get booked regardless. – @TallsomeLee

Unnu think scholars from Winnipeg ago get the masses needed to vote mobilised? – @Fabian_Recall

This never happened to him when he sang Government ba … never mind. There’s a lesson there. – @5Solae

Truth is, bad words are a part of our culture. When the state minister was cussing the yards of cloth on a phone call there was no outcry. – Dyonna Lawrence

What should be the vetting process though? Cause anyone can go on stage and cuss by mistake. – Ryan Lawson
