In this parallel universe, Linden people are living large, New Amsterdam is a throbbing metropolis and Georgetown is not a stinking slum.
Spin, bai . . . spin like a top.
It's spin when you describe those three regions in satirical terms. The journalistic exercise of Neil Adams of the Chronicle is not hyperbole; rather it states a point of emphasis. I do not wish to take away your spin but rather explain that you are taking liberties with the English language.
Let me explain something sir, Neil Adams is engaged in "spin" . . . I am the one who used "hyperbole" (satire, not so much).
The heart of the matter is that Jagdeo decides to refurbish a few buildings and 'patch' a few roads in the small villages of Mocha and Buxton, and this idiot 'journalist' fashions a bizarre correlation of these narrow, opportunistic, political acts of charity with serious issues of empowerment and macro economic planning failures in the whole of Berbice/Courantyne.
Yes, hyperbole was deliberately chosen to concentrate the minds of those on the receiving end of this insulting "exercise" in invidious, racialist propaganda. What's illegitimate about THAT!?
". . . states a point of emphasis"!? . . . what nonsense!
