Another youthful parliamentarian, Pryce's colleague and People's National Party (PNP) backbencher Dayton Campbell said that the tragedy underlined an even more fundamental problem. It was testament, he said, to deep-seated class divisions and a prevalent "house slave" mentality 176 years after 'full free' of slaves in Jamaica.
Campbell told Comrades at a North West Manchester constituency conference in Hatfield recently that while he understood and empathised with the discussion about ganja, he thought Deane died because of the social class from which he sprung.
"In my mind it is because it is somebody (Deane) from a lower class... Jamaica have a problem... we look down on a certain class of people," said Campbell, the member of parliament for St Ann North West.
