His most recent escapade has seen him once again take to center-stage outside the very Office of the President compound once again on Friday 26th June last. And it no doubt, left many in bewilderment as we were reminded of the famous quote “those who forget their past are condemned to repeat it”. With a group that consisted of about 5 placard bearing persons and included Benschop and Freddie Kissoon. It was business as usual as they readily regurgitated the usual anti-government stuff that we have so much grown accustomed to.

It’s ironic that history seems to be repeating itself. A couple of years ago a similar protest led by Benschop and Phillip Bynoe resulted in the storming of the highest office in the land and shots being fired to restore calm which in turn led to the death of one.

In light of what had transpired back then this most recent action can be seen as an attempt to “test the waters” by Benschop in anticipation of what is to come.

I think that he has not learned his lesson and can also recall subsequent to his Presidential pardon he publicly stated his desire to become a Priest or a Social Worker; did he abandon his aspirations? There is an old saying “easy lesson good for dunce.” Mr. Benschop should take note.
