Jamaican British people

Jamaican British people

The need for the Jamaican and wider United Kingdom (UK) Caribbean community to become more assertive and nurture special relationships between Britain and the Caribbean, was a recurring theme during the first Caribbean Question Time event, held in London on February 24.2010

The Question Time Panel, which included representatives from the three major British political parties, was moderated by Bishop Dr. Joe Aldred and featured business woman, Ms. Joy Nichol and Jamaican born Reverend Rose Hudson Wilkins.

Both Reverend Hudson Wilkins and Ms. Nichols emphasised the need for the Caribbean community take a more serious interest in politics and to understand the power they have as members of the British electorate.

They also stressed that the community must become more organised and united to develop serious political influence and the economic power to ensure that their interests and needs are realistically tackled.

On the issue of the 'special relationship', between Britain and the Caribbean there was the strong view that the Caribbean was not high on the agenda and that there was need to rethink the issue of the 'special relationship' which many felt needed to be on a basis of mutual respect .

There have been no convictions against a police officer since 2006 and only 4 convictions between 1999 and 2009 out of a total of more than 1,700 reports of fatal shootings.

Eyewitness report

A 15-year-old who lives on a high-rise building in Tivoli Gardens.
The police took me out of my house and made me help to put dead bodies in a police van. I took up three bodies at first, and then three more after that. The police then drove me and some other youth to the PWD (Public Works Department) yard. The police made us take out the bodies, and then they put tyres on the body and drove away with us in the van. I also saw a little boy dead, and the police made me pick him up. The police also started to lick me in my back.

 

 

The police then drove us to Seprod. Some children were around, and the police told them to run. The children ran into some bushes, and one of them got shot. The police then took me and the other youth to Marcus Garvey Drive They told us to come out of the vehicle and walk, and they threatened to kill us. One policeman told the others it was not right to kill us, and so the police took us to the detention centre.

JAMAICAN LEADER PLOTS A GREAT ESCAPE

Jamaican Leader Plots a Great Escape

The Jamaican Prime Minister has ordered a full-scale military assault on his own parliamentary constituency.

The Stew Maker

The Stew Maker

The job of Santiago Meza López was to dispose bodies of the enemies of a notorious drug baron, dissolving them in tubs of acid. Over several years he claims to have “disappeared” 300 enemies of Teodoro García Semental, a former henchman for one of the largest cartels in Mexico and now in a bloody struggle for supremacy over the trade. 

Things are bad in Jamaica, but certainly not as bad as this. Some critics would like you to believe that Jamaica is the vilest society on the planet. Mankind's existence has been rocked with unimaginable violence and cruelty since there intelligence started evolving rapidly. The need to dominate another being by force is a remant of our basic animal instinct.

Although violence has its roots in Africa and for centuries Africa,  then the Middle East, then Southern Europe, then Asia, before taking a sharp turn to the Americas then back to Africa.

Golding's apology

Downtown unrest

NEW YORK, USA —

Prime Minister Bruce Golding's apology over his handling of the Christopher 'Dudus' Coke extradition and Manatt, Phelps and Philips affairs has done little to ease the concerns among nationals here in their country's Government. Representatives from 15 Jamaican organisations in the Tri-State area -- New Jersey, Connecticut and New York -- who met here Tuesday, concluded that "the prime minister's apology" on Monday night "had raised more questions than it answered".

Synthetic DNA

Scientists in the US have succeeded in developing the first synthetic living cell. The researchers constructed a bacterium's "genetic software" and transplanted it into a host cell. The resulting microbe then looked and behaved like the species "dictated" by the synthetic DNA. The advance, published in Science, has been hailed as a scientific landmark, but critics say there are dangers posed by synthetic organisms.
The researchers hope eventually to design bacterial cells that will produce medicines and fuels and even absorb greenhouse gases. The team was led by Dr Craig Venter of the J Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) in Maryland and California.

Genocide

With over 500 murders since the start of 2010, The Gleaner hits the  parishes of Kingston and St. Andrew to ask Jamaicans about their view on  crime and violence.  is this the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of a nation.
