  1. GOOD STUFF!!! It’s all about C-O-U-N-T-R-Y!!!!

    it must be noted that ever since you escape the Man Cow Cult, you are flourishing and looking happy and healthy. Wonder if Dr. Cleon Athill recover mentally from the toxic cult as yet? IT does take a while to decompress and adjust after coming from a cesspool

    Keep up the good job HON. Anthony Smith

  2. How on earth is Anthony Smith allowed to represent the UPP constituents in All Saints West who voted for him and Smith has now deserted them to chat and hoodwink other innocent folks?

    He’s here talking to fishermen and those associated with the fisheries. Can these people REALLY trust him in whatever he says; and will Smith desert the fishing folks like he did his constituents in All Saints West?

    Brixtonian closing down all debates as per usual.

  3. He ah wann Fraud. As one who attended or particilpated in Overseas bilateral discourse, i can imagine how amused and taken aback Sturt [ That Judad ], was precieved by the Associates participants.

    What he Knows … or can he define or articulate ” The Blue Economy “. He Can’t. All he can put forward is ” Grap the Dollars and Run ” … Sell U Soul to the Devil is there focus. Principles and Values of Life that can withstand the Test of Times is Out The Door for He, Ungreatful Mansoor and Lammin who on Observer Nightly could not Put a Good Sentance together and De Dwayne Tongue whose ” Opportunity Cost ” is ” The alternative fore Gone ” …. In Micro or Macro Economic Terms …. That is His [ As well as There’s ] SOUL …!!!

  5. @ JCFJW, this is what Romans 12:2 says about discernment:

    “Do not be confirmed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may DISCERN what is the will of God …”

    Are you a sheep 🐑 or a shepherd @ JCFJW?

    I bet it’s the former 😁

    BTW, you must have heard that some of the constituents in All Saints West are now wanting to take some sort of legal action, regarding how there votes were discarded and cast aside?

    NO! I THOUGHT NOT … BAAAAA 🐑
