We don’t have to send flowers to Buckingham Palace. But, we can be silent. It’s basic human dignity. These mean-spirited comments are unworthy. A family has lost its matriarch. A country its monarch. Is it beyond us to pause our differences and allowing them to mourn in peace?

For the record, I'm unashamedly a JESUS man. I believe in HIS power to perform miracles. I've seen them with my own eyes. I'm a witness. But, there's a chasm between faith and folly. Disobeying the government's anti-COVID-19 restrictions isn't faith. It's folly.

Jamaica’s minimum wage could have been increased by 103 per cent, bringing it to $14,210. We did it for parliamentarians 20 years ago. We could have done it now for the poor. It would have been fair.

PM @AndrewHolnessJM took a gamble and Jamaica lost big. His decision to relax the gathering limits and reopen the entertainment sector wasn't supported by the science & decried by scientists. And, the behavioural science told us many J'cans would've abused the modified measures.
