Calling Prime Minister Manning

THE EDITOR: Hello! Hello! This is an average citizen calling you Mr Prime Minister. I have a couple of questions to ask, out of sheer love and deep concern for my country. It is my understanding that numerous “Trinis to the bone” have actually pulled anchor and have left these shores. True or false? If in the affirmative, can you tell me why this is so Sir? I am not hearing you, sir! It is my understanding that potential foreign investors are now having doubts about the country’s stability due to the uncontrollable crime situation.

True or false Sir? If in the affirmative, can you tell me why this is so and what steps are you taking to remedy this unacceptable situation? Hello! Hello! I am not hearing you, Sir! Finally, are you still in charge Sir? Or is the country now being managed by the criminal element? Hello! Hello! I can’t hear you Sir! Anyway Mr Prime Minister, if you are still on line, sorry but I have got to “run.” There’s a bandit or kidnapper approaching, will call again, that is if I survive.
