Why is Portia saying this?

[Gamma]

portia said it was a jlp strategy...if it wasn't she needs to apologise...if it was the jlp needs to apologise and/or distance themselves from any such comment .....

[Willi]

...and, did Portia use such 'thoughts' earlier than Carolyn Cooper's article and or was such sentiments expressed in like manner or 'near guh suh manner' and when?

...and, where such sentiments expressed 'on the streets' and when?

The answer to those questions will help to frame the context within which Portia spoke!

I guess I can't. Please explain.

[Gamma]

it appears as if you don't want to...and that being the case there is no amount of explanation that will suffice.

it's a simple issue really. but ... a suh.

[Mosiah]

It matters not if it was official JLP strategy. Certainly, with the help of the JLP newspaper, such feelings were loud and clear for all to observe.

Don't mind me. I may have missed the point again.

[Gamma]

you miss it only when you want to mosiah.

[Mosiah]

you overrate me. i'm also the eternal learner. please help me learn.

[Gamma]

i think you are right...i overrated you. very jawgelike i must add.

[Rockman]

It is all confusing. Can't figure out if there really isn't anything wrong with being a maid or a gardener.
If there is nothing wrong with being called a maid/gardener why comrade found it offensive...? Why a (ex)CEO husband and not a gardener or a cane man?
Anyway, remember what was said amongst the old boyz' club in the rat race for leadership of the PNP,..............
I do not know if members of the JLP are guilty of what is being alleged, however we have and continue to hold in high esteem the very people whose vested interest is preserving the counterproductive class system(as we know it), insomuch that we make them leaders.
If anyone(JLP) is guilty what would should the people's servant ,Bruce, do?

Let me make it clear:

What I want to know is simple. Was this a part of the JLP campaign or not??

That is the direct quote from Portia!

...and, if it was?

[Karl]

The speech. In it she said that the maid thing was a part of the JLP campaign.

"the maid thing"?

I do not know of any "maid thing"...any maid being a "thing"...or any thing concerning the person of our "maids" being no "thing".

dem a fi mi people! ...any one of my son's can and could one day be friendly with...marry...do business with and associate in any way with anyone of those good person...it is the individual persons character that counts!

We (wife and me...and, family...extended family) certainly have taught our children that it is character that counts...bot the circumstance in which finds oneself today!

Any day 'cash' can and jobs can leave you! ...and, for many different reasons!

"maid thing"?
kiss teet!

[Gamma]

then the jlp needs to apologise not just to jamaica but to the public and distance themselves from any such derisive and divisive nonsense!

and if they didn't?

[Gamma]

perhaps he should have said "maid comment".. it hink that would have been more accurate.

So...is it at the Conference that Portia and or any others mentioned such a thought. For example, did Portia make the statements during her electioneering? ...or, even before this last electioneering period?
