Where will we get such an acceptable photo? I don’t think it can be helped if the subject is almost always photographed as a beliigerent stale drunk.

Have to agree, that Anil Roberts has certainly become the poster boy for satire in this country, smdh lorl
Omg, I’ve read all. Good job.
I would like this column to promise me one thing in the New Year…..PLEASE USE A MORE ACCEPTABLE, LESS SURPRISED, GENTLEMANLY LOOKING PHOTO OF A FIRED EX MINISTER….OF MR TWO PULL, THE EXISTING PHOTO MAKES MY BLOOD CRAWL.
Merry Christmas!
Thanks Kendall Tull. Very kind of you. And I will keep working hard. 😉
It BOSS!!
Great year Lasana Liburd. Excellent thought provoking articles and several key investigative pieces. Journalistic integrity and excellence are alive and well in Trinidad.
It’s a hard row to hoe !
Think Santa can make it across the border with Gary jumping him? Especially with that “ho ho ho” talk… He might think the big fellah is a rival arrival.
HahahahahahahahHAH
Cemex and match?

O ho ! Merry Christmas !
Hey Melville. I’m inside ‘ere trading.
i enjoyed the discourse. this is better than writing letters to the editor hoping they will be published. the social media has evolved and in particular, hot on the issues,live and direct. happy new year
Ah,Lasana,How ai yuh ?
Well he certainly broke the JW streak you had running!
Hahaha. I think so.
Anil has become the poster face for satire?-)
Yeah. I think the timing of the stories might have worked against some that I liked which didn’t get in… But the readers spoke! 🙂
Good stuff there!
