    Hello and good afternoon my people. Well Ralph and his son Camillo is trying to make this young lady look like she is mentally ill but they have a major problem and its that. How is Camillo going to explain why he was in New York with this model and remember photos don’t like. Since Ralph and his son have political power they think they can do what ever they want .

      Yes i feel sorry for her too. Is always the crazy ones that does give it to us just how we like it. Then it does go to far and we cannot get rid of them in the end. I dont know why we doesnt just marry them instead? lol. them woman self does go through so much with man in the name of “love” but man does just take advantage more than half the time. Hell hath no wrath like that of a woman scorned. Sometimes most times, for both parties, it is better to just leave them alone.

    That is why married men shouldn’t take a chance because you might thieving a piece and here comes it sweet the other woman and maybe even come to an orgasm which she never experience before and you get cut up in that mess. Guys be carefully examine the woman you deal with. lolol

    It looks like there is a veritable dynasty in the making in St. Vincent. The son of the P.M. Is the Minister of finance, how convenient. And if you curse the gentlema’s wife ( I presume he is a gentleman) you are declared insane and locked up in a loony bin. I know that happened in Stalin’s Soviet Union to opponents of his regime but in a supposedly democratic country like St. Vincent in 2018.? Mind you, daddy exhibits the same dictatorial tendencies of the left that we have all become all too familiar with elsewhere. With guys like that Caricom will forever remain a pipe dream.

    They wrong and still want to be strong. If in case you are having an affair with her husband why insult the wife. Know your place your are the mistress. Every story has three sides like a triangle.

    There should be a #MeToo movement in SVG.
    That prime minister is worse than Skerrit.

      MeToo for what? Them woman willingly screwing them politicians. Plus don’t get me started on Hollywood’s hypocrisy with that movement.

    That’s what you call being proactive. Before she reveals the embarassing it is already implied that she is mentally unstable. Just hope she has electronic and other evidence so she is able to prove what we already suspect. Don’t support the insulting of the wife though.

    I highly believe this woman. Top model representing the country, off course one of them will be behind her. If she brokes who best than the minister of finance to pass it for. Then the wife get involved n the vibes turn ugly. Now how those insults took place is the question. Local girls take note. Do not disrespect the wives. lol

    Since when using indecent language has become a mental health issue?I will not go deeper into this story but at, in the long run, I can see that freedom of speech is being taken away.The is so much crime in St Vincent that this minister should be concerned about; he uses his power as a minister to influence the justice system because a woman insulted his wife. The wife should kick his … out because he should set an example and respect himself as a married man.

      @Practchett I concur with your points of view. This was an outrageous abuse of power by the magistrate. I’m not condoning the vulgar gesture nor the allegations. When such abuses by powerful individuals go unchallenged, it only gets worse. The problem with us in the Caribbean is that influential people and institutions remain deafeningly silent when these gross abuses of power are being perpetrated against ordinary people. Those of you who are making light about the potential destruction of such a young life should hang your head in eternal shame. I have no reason to doubt the young lady. Most politicians enter politics for three (3) things: Power, Money and Sex.
