Sport Minister Anil Roberts has reminded Wired868 of his Government’s “zero tolerance” approach to drugs in the wake of a controversial video, aired by TV6, which appeared to show a bald headed, loud-mouth Minister smoking marijuana and discussing rolling techniques in a motel room with some amiable females; none of whom were named “Mrs Roberts.”
“Zero tolerance is zero tolerance,” said Roberts, “you cannot say zero tolerance to domestic violence and then say it was just a slap or say zero tolerance to corruption, then say it was only $7,000 you thief.”
Roberts made it clear that cheating was reprehensible, although it is uncertain whether he was also referring to disloyalty in relationships.
“We do not cheat,” said the Sport Minister. “We live with class, we win with class, we lose with class…we have to send a message to our children…if you cheat, you are out.
“This is a dark mark on the history of T&T sport.”
But enough about Roberts’ view on 25-year-old Trinidad and Tobago sprinter Semoy Hackett, whom he blocked from State funding after she failed a drug test without even waiting for the relevant international body to examine her ‘B’ sample or the athlete to consider an appeal.
What does he think about ministers who share drugs with what might be prostitutes at motels with a history of being raided for human trafficking?
“You see me I can drink rum whole day and night,” said the Minister, as he boasted about his Cabinet credentials in the video, “but if I take two pull I gone through you know.”
Careful PM; that bald head gets around.
So after “gift grabbing” Jack, “breast poking” Glenn, “mistress pushing” Chandresh and the “cookalooks inspector” from Tobago; whatever is Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar to do with her “two pull” minister?
And who exactly handles Tantee Kamla’s recruitment anyway? Mr Live Wire has seen more stringent riff-raff policies at whore houses.
So, how does the Sport Minister think the Prime Minister should treat with Minister Two Pull?
“(This) issue is a very serious one and it shows some negligence and irresponsibility and downright disregard for the reputation of Trinidad and Tobago, not only as a sporting nation but as a country with a proud history of tremendous achievements,” said Roberts. “To all of those who will like to sully the brand by doping or by exercising nefarious means to gains success, that will not be tolerated by this brand, this Government, by this ministry and this sport company…
“You embarrass your country, your family and future generations and we will not accept it in any form or fashion; because you will impact on our brand… T&T is the brand; the brand is the people.”
I feel if Michael Jackson was still here, he surety in charge of children sleepovers oui.
Well said, Roberts; it is an impassioned plea that should not be ignored. And Mr Live Wire expects that the Prime Minister will continue to restock her Cabinet as regularly as she does her, well, cabinet.
Mr Live Wire has another question for the public. Which is more dangerous for an impressionable child: sending them unsupervised to watch Spiderman (which comes with a PG rating) or leaving them for a day in Parliament for the next Youth Session?
No wonder school children are preparing for adult life with loads of casual sex; it is the only way to see your MP or apply for a HDC house these days.

Mr. Live Wire is an avid news reader who translates media reports for persons who can handle the truth. And satire. Unlike Jack Nicholson, he rarely yells.
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck!
You know what the major concern is? Neither Caricom as a body nor any caribbean leader has expressed concern about what is happening in trinidad and tobago. Is that their sign of approval?

But wait,,,,,,,,,,wait,,,wait,,,,,,,,,,,who is the PNM minister ,,,,,,,,whose son was down vessigny beach with about three hundred pounds of weed,,,,,,,and he diddy make some calls and ,,,,,,the corrupt police let the son walk free ??????
Good for him
Haaa
Hypocrites… Zero tolerance for drugs locking up impoverished youths
Its amazing that so many people are arrested and sent to jail for weed. Her you have a Minister wrapping and admitting to smoking it, then he is soliciting prostitutes (not proven). I wonder if he will be charged and jailed like people who do less in our society.
Live by your rules. But oh gorm, so the girl in the video is a prostitute?
I think its time ministers who are caught in folly and proven guilty should have to pay a percentage of their earnings back to hard working tax payers
The way that guy gets on tells me something not right with him. This is no surprise.
WEED, WOMAN(WHORES) and WAJANG
PPP at it’s best
He accustomed doing that,,,you eh see how black he lip is,,,,,,,pure piper
Puff , puff pass.
It so strange eh… it sound like him too… and i heard him for real in a fete last yr hott 93.. getting on the same way…
This hit the spot, what is it they say about glass windows and stones. I always held him in high regards mainly due to his different approach to being a M.P. he spoke his mind and called a spade a spade regardless if the spade belonged to the party he is part of, i truly hope it is an actor in that clip, really do!!!!!!!
They should all be tarred and feathered for these acts. No sympathy for anyone who conducts themselves in this way or gets involved in corruption. It continues to unravel at the right time.
“Mr Live Wire has seen more stringent riff-raff policies at whore houses.” Ahahahahahaa
I wonder what the PM will do with this one…surely can’t ignore it..Hard to say because who will adore her by kissing her……..hand
Two Pull and Bull Anil. What a legacy.
It is funny because nowhere else in the world would any Government allow this type of BS and the other types to happen, so we have become the laughing stock of the world. I used to be proud to go abroad and tell people I’m from T&T now I think twice about telling people from first world countries that. Plain talk -bad manners. Even “small islanders” who used to look up to us are no longer doing that. They, along with Trinis who live outside are afraid they get robbed or shot..
You are so right Wayne! I am so ashamed of being a Trinbagonian right now because of how this Government continues to embarrass the people of this nation with their “antics” and lack of professionalism. T&T going to hell in a hand-basket…. *smdh*
He is anti himself (DOPE) Please keep sportsmen away from this self proclaimed 2- pull man……
Swimmer Bovell and the javelin champion YOU ARE WARNED.
I see nothing funny about this. This minister has acted so irresponsibly so many times without consequence. He speaks one thing and practices another. Devil cannot correct sin. He must go and take his hiding puppet the PS with him.
A tragic comedy.
Nuff said – I can’t even add a line -I’m laughing so much. What a comedy this country has become.
I still find a two pull knockout for weed sounds pretty potent… Everyone sure there was only herbs in that roll?
It’s bad enough that he’s a terrible parliamentarian, even worse that he’s one who does illegal drugs but the fact that he can’t even wrap is own joint like a big man is just inexcusable.
Shamefull !!!! A minister that can’t wrap weed! Lol
I wonder if anyone break the news to Semoy Hackett yet…
And they say the ILP is the green party!
If she halts the firings, choosing reshuffling instead (does it matter at this point in time?), then I would suggest, Minister of Agriculture.
oh boy ah weak lol
Wired868, d man say is not ‘im…but they forget this town small and only so long you could fool some people for
Craziness
Is he piloting anti-doping measures in sport, Lasana Liburd? OR just being anti- anti-dope…
‘Two pull Anil”
Sitting in this river lime government look like real vibes boy.
Make mih feel like one carnival ah couldn’t get Diamond Vale breakfast party tickets.
Oh my!
Quote:“What happens to people living in a society where everyone in power is lying, stealing, cheating and killing, and in our hearts we all know this, but the consequences of facing all these lies are so monstrous, we keep on hoping that maybe the corporate government administration and media are on the same level with us this time.
We are just like survivors of domestic abuse.
There’s always the hope that this is the very, very, very last time one’s ribs get re-broken again. ”
look his face!!!….high like a kite…lmao
Love it
Lol
I was eagerly awaiting your postmortem on this. Lol thanks 🙂
Like the piper noe bus ah shot,,,,,,,,watch he big eye,,,,white and glassy
WHAAAAAAAAATT!!!!!!!!!!! So that’s the business of the day now? Roll it, lick it and stick it?
Wired868 cannot confirm that Toronto’s crack smoking mayor Rob Ford is considering applying for Trinidad and Tobago passport…
He didn’t get fired while men slept??!!!
Rita said “One Draw” but, apparently, “she sorf!” It’s “Two Pull!”
My thing is I honestly used to feel sorry for her at a point in time. i mean she wanted to be the PM so badly, but I’m sorry but I can’t even shed a tear for her right now, i think she is on the verge of a total breakdown, but the fact remains she either on advice of or of her own sound mind, chose these people to be in her cabinet, and thus she has to take the blame at the end of the day. So sad so much was promised and expected but this Government will go down as one of the worst if not the worst Government in the short history of this twin island Republic. But I know she and her supporters will not leave without a fight, 2015 GE will be one of the nastiest ever, sad but true
And somewhere Semoy Hackett must be rolling on the ground with uncontrollable fits of laughter … Seems the pot called the kettle black here, only for the pot’s crusty undersides to be shown for its true colors. And they are not beautiful like a rainbow at all!
