A Trinidad Express reporter and a CCN TV6 cameraman were part of a quartet that tried to rob a rum shop on Sunday night. But, although a TV6 company van was allegedly used for the caper, today’s Express report was shy with the details. So, Express readers who appreciate being …

Amidst the shouting and terse exchanges in a variety of accents at the HCU’s Commission of Enquiry, Charles Mitchell, the commissioner of Cooperative Development, yesterday delivered a verbal gem befitting of a wig and robe. Trinidad and Tobago’s court rooms have been overrun by British Lords and Queen’s Counsels in …

Sport Minister Anil Roberts is never short of an opinion that he doesn’t want to scream into a reporter’s tape recorder.

Apparently, it is not the make of vehicle that Tunapuna Hindu finds objectionable. …

COP leader Prakash Ramadhar is still hot and bothered over San Fernando Mayor Marlene Coudray’s defection to the UNC and is ready to go to war over the “betrayal.” Ramadhar alleged that the coalition parties of the People’s Partnership carved up Trinidad and Tobago to their tastes and San Fernando …

Israel Khan SC called the Law Association a “glorified dance committee” under the stewardship of his long-standing friend Dana Seetahal SC and said she did absolutely nothing apart from provide rum, roti, whiskey, cheese, grapes and wine at various social events for the fraternity.

Airports Authority chairman Gerald Hadeed announced that his organisation has improved customer service by allowing travellers to check for Piarco International Airport flight information on channel 868 on Flow cable.
