Dr Keith Rowley
So said Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley as he addressed a public meeting on the City Hall, POS on Thursday night, November 29. 2018.

Another side of what is going on in the news.For me it is a spectator sport like watching a continuous soccer game. I don’t take too many definite opinions because I have read enough to know that every news media is biased. The complicating problem for the last decade at least is the false information that is put out, both published in news media, on the internet, and through social media. It is very hard to decipher what is actually the truth any more.
