and yet our children sitting in schools with termite eaten benches and leaking roofs
and yet the roads in our capital city are a mess, pothole galore
and yet sick people have to fight for beds in the hospitals
and yet innocent citizens getting their cars stolen, houses burgles, bodies beaten and peace of mind shattered
these 'leaders' really disgust me sometimes..and cHunte-hole want to talk about facking national pride...let him or any of his colleagues have to deal with any ONE of the issues above, even if they had to deal with 2-3 hour traffic to get to work/home, maybe then he could talk about wanting to promote national pride with a straight face.
facking developed countries have less to do with high rise buildings, diplomatic palaces and facking big flag and more to do with how the average citizen feels about the quality of his life and based on that this gov't is a facking failure! |

| Sounds just about right. When u consider the size of the base that was dug, the A36 steel quantity, engineering etc. The cost isn't all that bad |

how much did the pole itself cost ?
I would imagine it costs a lot also as it is a lot of steel
total waste of money |

I find they went a bit overboard with the engineering..
90mph winds with the flag up and 130mph without.. c'mon, why not make it cheaper and take down the flag in case of a hurricane and just insure it? |

Apparently it was also constructed to the highest earthquake proof specifications as well.
It's good to know that in the face of a natural disaster the citizenry can shelter under the Minister's big pole...

For over 20 fcuking years after he won what is still we only Olympic gold medal Hasely Crawford never see 2 dollars from the gov't far less $2M. Hasely used to be crying like a baby on tv about how dey neglect track and field and by extension he. Only when Manohar was Sport Minister then he organize him with house and some cash.

Did you broker into your contract an exemption from increased property tax rates? No, well sorry, no empathy for you.
That's the problem with this country.....it's either we love capitalism or we hate it.
Those who can afford to pay their increased property tax rates don't care, because they get a bligh (read: gov't contract).
Who from them cares that the money they getting does the national community injustice as it could have been saved, and in so doing not have the average home owner now bear the shittiest excuse ever for funding a budget deficit.
According to one government MP, the people out there doh care about any commission of enquiry or any allegations of corruption....they just want their road fix, their drain clean and their rubbish collected.
The sad part of what the MP said, is that its true.  |
