From Panday’s own lips

THE EDITOR: In Mr Panday’s inventive lexicon in which any word can have one meaning in the morning and quite another contrary, definition in the evening of the same day, the words “inclusion” and “selling out” are now analogous. The only differential is the former concerns Afro-Trinidadians who support or seek comfort or favours from the UNC political party and the latter is reserved for persons of his own ethnicity who do the identical thing with regards to the PNM. The chameleon, Panday, uses words which change in perception by the hour or dependent on to whom they are implied. For example, we read in Newsday May 31 that he made a speech to the House of Representatives on June 29, 2001, in which he condemned “venom and spite, malice and vindictiveness” which statement strongly suggests he perceives himself as innocent of and above such things! I rest my case.
