Achong supporters blamed for Manning no show

Pending protest by residents in support of Point Fortin incumbent Lawrence Achong may have forced Prime Minister Patrick Manning to cancel his walkabout in the area yesterday evening.

Constituency sources said word had reached Manning that 1,500 flyers declaring, “No Larry, No Vote” and “Our fingers would speak” were printed and ready for distribution.

T-shirts conveying the same messages were reportedly printed as well.

To avoid confrontation, Manning cancelled the walkabout, a constituency source claimed.

Achong—who was recently freed of an obscene language charge—went before the PNM’s screening committee two Friday’s ago but was rejected.

Last Friday, Manning called the constituency executive to a meeting at Balisier House and instructed them to find another candidate.

Fockin slaves would never learn. Manning doh fockin care bout all yuh assholes. Go on....eat ah balisier and remain in bondage.

And after all that these conts will still go back and vote PNM.
