The Parrot in its last squawk squawked about the humour that sometimes emanate from the Assembly House where Critchlow stands “guard” on its lawns down in GT.
The comedy which is often performed by the “residents” of the western half of the House, can rival “Saturday Night Live”, Leno and Letterman. I wonder why local shows of similar concept have not been attempted. Hmmm. There is so much “material” that can be harnessed into hilarious entertainment packages.
Not that what comes out of the House is not “belly full o’ laffs”. It’s just that people don’t want to spend sometimes six hours looking for the “presentations” that evoke vociferous hilarity.
In television language, “packaging” can “cut to the chase”. First it was “Scottie” from the Alliance with a front. Now, it’s Debbie with a “back”. It is no coincidence that “Scottie” and Debbie are doing things in opposite; “front” then “back”. After all, they are part of the Opposition.
According to them boys who got six hours to spare to watch the “presentations” pun “Ain’t-Seeing”, this “backer” girl likes to “front-up” she self and heckle those from the eastern side of the House. Apparently she is so accustomed to heckling, that it is automatic every time she hears something from the eastern side. She even heckled when Uncle Bob was congratulated for his re-selection, sorry, re-election and when snack-time is announced. De boys dem seh she is a seasoned heckler; Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
The heckling now get she into trouble. As usual not wanting to listen to what the eastern side is saying, she heckled the wrong thing whilst Uncle Ashni was “on de floor”.
He was at the time “singing” praises about how the exemplary and professional services of local law enforcement is needed over in T & T for the upcoming Summit with the Queen.
Not Jamzone or Guyana MISSing World; the Queen from our colonial past. Our law enforcement ladies and men came in for plenty praises when Hurricane Ivan tek he “eyes” and “pass” Grenada destroying the Isle of Spice in the process and when World Cup Cricket was held in the Region in 2007.
They did so go good that the Bajans “beg” fuh dem to provide security for the finals. A special plane was chartered. The benches were removed from the Bajan airport when the plane landed and replaced after the return journey. The removal of the Bajans’ benches was not only testimony to their first-time genuine welcome of Guyanese, but indicative of the high esteem our boys and girls in green and blue were held. Simply put, these boys and girls did us proud. So Uncle Ashni was in order to state that a contingent is needed in T&T next month.
Up comes, on cue, Debbie “the backer” heckler saying that these hard-working boys and girls may bring the country into disrepute. Her comments confirms that she don’t listen and is unaware of the achievements of these guys. Imagine the “backer” talking about disrepute! What happened when she and the other “backer” turned their backs on a bank that had GLOBEal trust? This trust led to mistrust and many people lost their hard-earned dollars and cents! This bank with the “backers” in front, collapsed before the financial crisis greeted Obama. Its collapse was unrelated to a global financial collapse.
How did it fall? What happen to the people money? The people heckled the “backers”, but to no avail. One “backer”, Debbie, ended up in the front chairs of the western half of the House whilst the other continues to enjoy life’s “blessings”. How can this female “backer” possess the “balls” to accuse those who have done us proud of bringing the country into disrepute? The Party that the “backer” represents brought shame and bankruptcy to this land. How come she can now “point a mouth” and heckle those who have achieved high standards?
The ladies and men in blue and green must reject the “backer’s” ridiculous comments. Their superiors must do the same. Gary is the “best” man to demand an apology from the “backer”. Uncle Ashni is right to ask for her to be disciplined. If this is to proceed, the Parrot would love to see how she will “back” out. De boys dem seh that Uncle Bob will support Uncle Ashni’s discipline call. He recalls how Debbie wasn’t too enthused with him before the last CONgress and was a part of Uncle Vincent’s camp. She had heckled him, Uncle Bob that is!
A disciplinary opportunity now presents itself and Uncle Bob will want to capitalise, with full benches. His front-bench “backer” is providing too much “material” for comedy, not forgetting his bruised ego when Uncle Vincent’s camp was up. Having a memory like an elephant, Uncle Bob will be relentless for disciplinary action even if he turns out to be this week’s provider of hilarious material in the House. Anybody knows Ron Robinson, Chow-pow or “Jumbie’s” number. They seem to have six hours to spare! Squawk! Squawk!
