CAN someone explain to me the reason for the disdainful treatment of Monique Gomez, the President of the women’s association of the Free National Movement, who was denied the nomination for the South Beach constituency after working assiduously in the area non-stop from the last election?
Lethal weapon?

It seems that every letter that appears in the Press these days is always dealing with matters in a negative way.
Honours Bill
On the 11th November, 2015, the Government tabled the National Honours Bill. The Bill was sent to Committee and immediately there commenced a mad rush to have the Committee report back to Parliament by the 9th December in response to the Prime Minister’s mandate to that effect.
Christmas promotions by banks
Pre-run up to Christmas the majority of the banks had promotions encouraging people to take out loans to meet, their words, to pay for vacations, purchasing for Christmas etc… items clearly the person did not have the money in the bank to use.
