    No matter how badly the truth hurts I will always cherish it. All on this forum are showering praise and accolades on Mr. Timothy. Probably, he deserves much of it. But they are lying by omission when they fail to mention his self-serving U-turn to join one of the most corrupt political parties in the world, the DLP.

    Speak the whole truth and nothing but the truth about this man. He betrayed his constituents by crossing the floor to join one of the most corrupt and dishonest political figures known to mankind.

    He has NEVER apologized for his gross betrayal of the people’s sacred trust and confidence in him. I cannot bring myself to laud turn coats and Judases like him. I don’t mind all who get vex and curse. Standing on priciples!

      You know, I admired him for a while; until I found out he was never loyal to the UWP while he was in the party!
      He was a back stabbing crook, who stabbed Edison James in his back.
      Humans only live for a short period of time, we can only do a minimum amount of damage on this earth: funny people always seem to do more evil than good before their time expires.
      He no longer suffers any pain: I have an idea of suffering from the stroke he suffered, seeing that I too suffered that same fate in 2022, thank God I survived without any form of paralysis, nevertheless, it did some damage to my brain.
      Fortunately, my condition and cognitive abilities remain sound.
