    Booed in absentia!

    In declaring the recent Jamaica International Invitational T&F meet open last Saturday, Minister Olivia Grange had to recognise some people in the royal box. First she apologised for the absence of the prime minister. Not sure she should have bothered. There was a faint, but audible enuff, round of boos in my area in the bleachers. I can bet it was that way around the stadium.

    Then she bigged up her sister, Portia Simpson, and the cheers were loud contrasting.

    Okay, maybe I was sitting in that part of the bleachers reserved for comrades.

    It reminds me when then PM Michael Manley was booed at the WCT tournament in Montego Bay and the subsequent discussions on the call-in programs back in the 70s. I happened to be in that crowd when it happened. Now this was nothing like that one, but one wonders what would have happened if Brucie was there.

    Something tells me Bruce will not be making too many public appearances any time soon.

    heh heh

        It’s obviously very easy to understand why there would be a “faint, but audible enuff, round of boos” for Golding.

        What I do NOT understand, however, is why were the cheers for Portia “loud (and) contrasting”? In other words, why members of the audience would cheer so enthusiastically for this particular Opposition Leader makes very little sense. It’s hard to find the logic here.

                            i hate to say it, but portia is looking quite a bit more prime ministerial than some people, esp. when she doesn't utter a word!

                            bruce has lost his credibility.
