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...

That is the Hasely Crawford Stadium right?
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.
Fire1 like dey strike gold here tho. |
