Wonders never cease…the PPP apologised for something…for calling a dead teenager a criminal! Wonder if anyone ever apologised for the police killing him too. And where are those officers now by the way? That’s the real injustice. Today’s ‘sorry’ will be cold comfort to Shaquille Grant’s mother.

Meanwhile Guyana is (perceived as) a little less corrupt than other countries compared to a year ago according to the fringe anarchist group Transparency International ! Yippee! It must be to do with the Ombusdman being sworn in, although Ramotar might be asking is it really worth it?

We are not quite sure what to make of Mr Burrowes’ “out of control” comments on the mining sector. Always seemed a cautious public servant apparently now gone rogue. Did he know he was speaking to a reporter from the esteemed Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter established in 1864 , and the first one read by politicians? Whose correspondent Henrik Brandão JÖnsson is based in Brazil, so no stranger to the issues of mining? That Jonsson is a veteran journalist and published author who has his ownWikipedia page? Who made a documentary that reveals “that Queen Silvia’s father Walther Sommerlath was politically active in the Nazi party and shows that he took part in the so-called linearisation, Adolf Hitler’s policy to deprive Jews in Germany of their assets.” Whoever the hell they are.

And that in autumn 2013 he released the football book The grass is always greener described as “great reportage art of football mad Brazil”?

No, this reporter is no neophyte calling on a crackly line from Stockholm. So Mr Burrowes’ only argument will have to be….his comments were taken out of context. Send Alex Graham round to prepare the press release.
