London based Jamaican star foot baller gets eighteen months in prison for groping a woman in a London bar. It is also alleged that king broke the woman nose in the same incident because she was not interested in his advance. King played in the Premiere League in Wigan, London making $US 58,000 per week. He will be fired from the club as a result of his sentence. This was not King’s first run in with the law as he served 5 months already in 2002 for driving a stolen BMW. He was later convicted also for assault on a couple of females.

Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt recently declared in London that he is clean and it will take years for people to really believe he is. Bolt was referring to the fact that he is not the fastest man in the world because he is doped up or on any type of drugs. We know Bolt is drugs free not because we believe that he is honest or any thing like that. We know that he is clean because as a Jamaican the authorities have single tested, double tested, triple tested, quadruple tested and single tested him again.

Good move by Asafa Powell to launch a charity. It is always good to give back or try and help those who are less fortunate or who have plans to fallow in your footstep. Asafa is aware that there is a need out there and have come up with a plan to help others who someday might not only enjoy what it feels like to travel to other places and represent their country, and even to win a medal and to stand proud as your country’s national anthem is played. Wishing you all the best Asafa I hope you will get the necessary contributions in order to make this charity a success.

This has me wondering how much does the police and the political leaders are contributing to the illegal activities that are taking place in Jamaica. It is sad to say Read the rest of this entry »

In response to Mr. Martin Henry Commentary in the Gleaner June 21, 2009 titled ‘The Brown Man Wins’ was a very interesting and will put together article which from his prospective he believes that colour is not an issue in Jamaica and therefore it was not a factor in the by- election that took place in Portland and St. Catherine . As he has stated and reflects on articles from the great pollster Carl Stone views political sociology of Jamaica as it relates to class. He also made references to the speech made by former Prime Minister of Jamaica Read the rest of this entry »
