Best wishes, Mr Manning
The loss of a general election and of the party leadership has made the past two years extraordinarily challenging for former Prime Minister and PNM leader, Patrick Manning and it seems the rough and tumble of national politics has taken its toll on a man whose spirit has always been willing, but whose body has more often than not proven brittle.
My family and I are praying for Patrick Manning and his family. We know this is a trying, painful, sad, confusing nerve racking time for him as well as his entire family. My father had a hemorrhagic stroke October 11th 2011. So I empathize with them. Right now all Mr. Manning needs is pray, faith in GOD from his family members because right now he may not be able to show the faith he has in GOD himself. He also needs love and caring. When visiting try to be strong and not cry but instead pray and read the bible for him. He is aware and hears everything that is going on around him so let know and show him that you all are routing for and believe that he can get through this. I know this is hard at this time because the family wants their time to worry for lack of a better word. But please pray this is all that will work because remember god knows and is in control of everything. Be faithful and strong. Do not doubt when u pray but believe it will happen.
Deepest pray and love.

Get better soon, Mr Manning
This newspaper joins with the family, friends and political PNM family of the former Prime Minister to wish him a speedy and full recovery.
i have the utmost respect for this gentleman . A proven statesman , an eloquent speaker , a man with a different version of the future . Thank you mr manning for giving me another chance to get a proper education . thank you . *tears* And i wonder how now the people who ridiculed you can turn around and not even say sorry , i pity them for they have not known your love .
What the hell politicaL future Manning had before this timely demise folks, can anyone say? Dey say ‘banana can’t bear plaintain ,’ and does Brian just prove with his idiotic responses , that there is some truism in that statement? Just maybe! Papa Manning called an election two years before it was due , and so the country today is saddled with de square pegs in round holes bunch ,and now Brian is lambasting people , left , right , and center ,as political opportunist ,for paying some visits to his ailing father. Should he and family not be grateful , that someone from the Ministry of Health not still perturb at decades of slight , not …, well fill in de blanks.
Did this politically naive creature , learn anything from that German scholaship, his nepotistic papa, was able to invigle,on his behalf ,a few years ago, or is rumor correct, that he squandered it all, while running around Europe , pretending to be some phony playboy ,while instead , spreading his Manning oats- as opposed to learning?

Grenadian PM , praying for Patrick Manning, while Vincy PM crying in public , after an exaulted visit to his bedside, well I’ll be dar …,and what a sick tragedy indeed!
In the interim , the head of his own political party ,Dr Rott/ De Mason Hall Kid, an old soldier,who stood loyaly at his side for decades , attempting to preserve the leegacy , by expanding their Papa Eric Williams brand,is not accorded some semblance of dignity , by being allowed to come within even 5000 feet of his hospital.
Tell you what folks , though ,gratefully , I am no longer a member of the pagan faith call Christianity , I will for argument sake say , that a God exist out there in the Universe, and because he does , he has finally done a wonderful thing by removing this disgusting bunch from the grand T&T stage of political tribal reality , via this timely ,health gesture.
Could this idiotic PR stunt be simply ,the result of political imaturity by his two clueless,phony playboy sons , or just undisguised vindictiveness ,of his loyal ,female sidekick pitbull wife, Hazel?
Is she behaving as some spurned lover would ,in giving the middle finger to phantom enemies,past, present , and in her twisted soul?
Does the party , and country, who tolerated her governmental incompetence ,and subpar ministerial forays, for too long,deserves better?
I am prepared to hold my judgement , but won’t any longer , should I see Massa Queen Elizabeth de 2nd,Comrad Fidel Castro, or his fellow Christian ancestrial buddy,Nigeria’s President Goodluck Johnatan , walk out his hospital door , then proceed to give my desperate people the typical , over de top press conference, while claiming with an obvious desingenious twinkle in their eyes , about how great a guy Patois was , and how they are praying for his return to power.
In case any of his naive, over zealous fans ,wish to know why I singled out these three creatures, tell them stay tune, as I will explain in detail, via my next commentary.
Change huh? Oh what a confuse bunch , my usually comatose, don’t give a darm ,’if Good Friday falls on a Monday,’ people are! Almost certain at least 10 women , and kids, were either raped , or murdered in a certain , suddenly protected enclave , as well as the same amount of alleged criminals, shot ,along another tribal corridor ,all the while, as millions are stolen right before our eyes , by the old monied ,private golf club ,oligarchic , landed gentries, and yet ,this is front page news, for our corporate , compromised members of the 4th Estate .Go figure!
We wish our fellow citizens well , as they endure these, and other post PNM distractions, yes? It’s a beautiful life.
