Of politics and church

Politics has never been a church service, neither was it meant to be. But if you follow the Ombudsman bishop Blair and the childish politicians among us, it might very well turn out to be so. How boring.

I saw nothing offensive about Abe Dabdoud's loader man poke at the soon to be prime minister Andrew Holness, neither  did I see anything but a light joke when Pernel Charles described Colin Campbell as a refugee. But in both cases, the petty politicians went bawling to the ombudsman. Now peter Bunting, gen sec of the PNP is taking on Clovis to task over the dinosaur cartoons.

Come on guys, lighten up. Let's not take the humour out of politics for without laughter we will all end up with high blood pressure, based on the perfomrmance of the politicians themselves!
