All PNP Politicians in Jamaica today and their” brain-dead leader Portia” have forged their own chain of cynicism through lies, broken promises and self interest. Little wonder that some Jamaican journalist, columnist and the public at large have such distaste for them these days.
All PNP Politicians in Jamaica today and their” brain-dead leader Portia” are 100% responsible for their moral standing. P.J. Patterson, Phillip Paulwell, D.K. Duncan, Trevor Munroe and Ronald Thwaites. Add to this an illegal bogus corrupt stagnant PNP government based on lies and deceit and the deaths of thousands of innocent people in Jamaica. Who would be foolish enough to believe anything they say these days?
If the good people in Jamaica won’t stand up for Jamaica. The bad won’t stand down.
IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE VOTE JLP OR NDM AND SAVE JAMAICA!!!

With the implementation of a State Of Emergency in Jamaica now by “Sister Pathetic Portia” and the PNP all Jamaicans rights have disappear overnight. Faced with a dictatorial corrupt PNP government who want more than anything to win this upcoming election, I don’t think we as Jamaicans in the Diaspora can be too cynical about that. There is little left but the ballot box to free the oppressed Jamaican people from a tyrannical corrupt PNP government.
LET US IN THE JAMAICAN DISPORIA MAKE THIS VERY, VERY CLEAR! To this Portia led PNP government that she should not maintain a state of emergency longer than is absolutely necessary in Jamaica and should NOT hold the General Election during the a State of Emergency in Jamaica!!!!!!!!!
If the good people in Jamaica won’t stand up for Jamaica. The bad won’t stand down.
IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE VOTE JLP OR NDM AND SAVE JAMAICA!!!
