Dear Editor,
Though I have no cock in this fight between these two lovers — the People's Nation Party (PNP) and the Jamaica Teachers' Association (JTA) — I will attempt to persuade others not to enter the fray.
The JTA has been courted by the PNP over many years. This common-law union has produced many offsprings in past general elections. This common-law husband and wife are therefore inseparable. Some even say the PNP has used the JTA as attack dog against the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) for many years.
As they also say, money is the root of most break-ups. And it appears that this couple is quarreling indeed. Will this quarrel end in an outright bar brawl or will they make up and fall in love again? Or will the JTA separate and live single and free to date whomever she chooses?
You see, the rule of thumb is, whenever couples are quarreling with each other; one should not enter the boxing ring to part the combatants, as they both may turn against you in defence of each other. Like the Jamaica proverbs goes, "cockroach no business inna fowl fight".
Hence, it is in all our best interests to take a seat on the sidelines and watch how this plays out.
