A Government at War with the Police is A Nation in Danger

The continued victimization of police officers under this uncaring and vindictive SLP administration, led by Philip J. Pierre, is not just an attack on law enforcement, it is an attack on the very foundation of law and order in our country.

Statement from Hon. Allen Chastanet on his CIP Judicial Review

The judicial action which I have taken against the Citizenship by Investment Unit, is not to stop the program, but to stop the blatant CORRUPTION.

Why Haven’t the Police Questioned Richard Frederick on His Revelations About Arfo Clarke’s Murder?

Jeremiah Norbert: A Failure, A Hypocrite and a Blatant Liar

Micoud North MP Jeremiah Norbert has proven to be not just a failure as a parliamentary representative, but also a blatant liar who has turned his back on the very people who once stood by him.
