So in the latest episode of T&T’s political soap opera, Basdeo Panday accuses the authorities of victimizing one of the UNC Alliance’s candidates on what he calls “trumped up charges of domestic violence”. He then welcomes said candidate to speak at one of the party’s political meetings, jovially introducing him as “a jailbird like myself”.
As if to underscore the point, co-leader Jack Warner tells the crowd not to worry, as a political party, the UNC-A “has money put aside for bail”.
I’m so stunned I can’t think of a single witty thing to say.
