Again the overused gender card??? Golding referred to the PNP. Is the PNP now the same as the "common folk". What kind of complex is this betraying??? I now see why Siccko shame....
She openly blasted the Govt for the last 2 weeks (unfairly, I might add), was not conciliatory in the least since Sept 3, and is carrying on a legal fight to oust the JLP. What basis does she have to expect anything but retaliation, especially going into elections.?
No more talks between the JLP & PNP
Monday, 19 November 2007 
Conciliatory talks between government and Opposition appear to be on hold.
Comments from Prime Minister Bruce Golding at the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP's) conference Sunday have left the People's National Party (PNP) leader, Portia Simpson-Miller smarting.
Mrs. Simpson Miller seems dead set against any further discussions with the governing party at this time.
The Opposition Leader seemed to be fuming as she told reporters she felt personally disrespected by Prime Minister Golding's biting criticisms of her party's officials.
In his address at the party's conference Mr. Golding said the PNP suffered from intellectual depravity and it was as if termites infested their brains.
The Opposition leader was bitter in her response.
She said that the attack was not conciliatory in nature asked where was the conciliation in saying they were sinful was and brainless.
She alluded to a growing class war in the country, which she felt Mr. Golding fed into with his comments.
She felt his words were disrespectful toward the majority of common folk in the country and to herself as a woman of humble origin.
On Sunday, Prime Minister Golding said he had extended another invitation to the Opposition to meet at Vale Royal in a bid to find consensus on the way forward.
But Mrs. Simpson Miller and PNP executives will be meeting to craft an official response Tuesday.
