…against PPP Government
As sure as the sun rises in the east – or the Pope will offer another apology for the church’s paedophile priests but won’t punish them – the TUC came out swinging against the PPP Government, supposedly in support of the GTU’s demand for greater salaries!! And trust this Eyewitness: that the TUC came out when the PNC and its camp followers are working themselves into a frenzy in preparation for selecting a new leader to manners the PPP is as coordinated as Hitler’s Waffen SS goosestepping in Berlin!! It’s all going down in Georgetown, baby!!
Shades of 1963, when they struck for 80 days and brought down the PPP Government to install the PNC in Government! Or 1999, when – after the PNC had ruled dictatorially for 28 years – the GPSU came out again for 55 days in tandem with a rampaging PNC and bludgeoned the PPP to a 36% wage increase against a background of widespread violence on perceived supporters of the PPP. Every time the PNC wants to shake-up the PPP the public service unions are always ready to do their bit!!
In 2020, the GPSU called out nurses in the midst of the covid pandemic to demand a bonus – which the PNC had reneged on just the year before, when they were in power. And here they are again screaming that the PPP’s ignoring the collective bargaining process and “imposing” wage increases.
Well, how is it that, when the PNC was in power between 2015 and 2020, the TUC was like a pussycat when “their government” reneged on their pre-election promise to give ALL Government employees SUBSTANTIAL pay raises. Which turned out to be ONE-QUARTER of the 50% raise the PNC gave itself!! And they never engaged in collective bargaining, but accepted unilaterally-imposed increases??
But we know – and the PNC knows – that because of its strategic control of the Government’s bureaucracy, the Government unions can always cripple PPP governments. If politics is war by other means, TUC threats and strikes are PNC’s politics by proxy!! It pays to occupy strategic arms of the state, and it’s why the PNC will never encourage its supporters to move out of the Public Service into, say, private enterprise; even though financially they’d do much better there!! Instead, they keep agitating and building resentment about being excluded! Gotta keep those grouses going, baby!!
Anyhow, the TUC – under its evidently Gen Secty-for-life Lincoln – has been insisting that not only has the PPP Government “ignored collective bargaining” (a union matter) but “also charged that there was discrimination in the allocation of resources across the country” – a political matter!! They’ve gone to the courts and then…inevitably – they’ll take to the streets.
We know what to expect!! Forewarned is forearmed?
…for perpetrators?
We know that the Government’s introduced the Restorative Justice Bill back in 2022 for “repairing the harm caused by an offence”. Our justice system, of course, is guided by “punitive justice” – derived from the old “eye for an eye” perspective: “if someone does the crime, he should do the time”. Now, while punishing the perpetrator, the victim could possibly seek redress as a civil matter, but the state system didn’t bother with that angle.
So, your Eyewitness was thrown for a loop when he realized that this Bill on “Restorative Justice” was designed to “restore the PERPETRATOR” to the status quo ante as far as possible!! The Canucks – who funded our Restorative Justice Center – sez it’ll repair harm by providing an opportunity for those harmed and those who take responsibility for the harm to communicate about, and address, their needs in the aftermath of a crime.”
So, the recent 15-year-old victim will forgive the five thugs who brutalised her if they accept “responsibility”?
How does this repair “the harm of the offence”?
…the colonial narrative
The US Rep on the UNHCR committee grilled Gail Teixeira on corruption specifically against VP Jagdeo. Will Teixeira now be allowed to question him about Hunter Biden’s ties to his dad, Sleepy Joe?
