I now see that a few officials in Jamaica have seen this ITV programme done by Sir Trevor McDonald. I live in the UK and I watched the programme. What struck me as odd was that Sir Trevor didn't go back to his native Trinidad, instead, he went to Jamaica.

The only thing I can think of is that he might find crime and violence, drug trafficking and some racial tension as well in Trinidad and Tobago. Not to mention the fact that Trinidad had an attempted-coup blight against its name.

I have no idea what Sir Trevor's motive is for depicting Jamaica in such poor light, but I am absolutely outraged that he was allowed to walk into Jamaica and do this film without any Jamaican official seeing the final version. However, this is not the first time this has happened. Ross Kemp did a programme about Jamaican gangs and showed our police station in Western Kingston, and was allowed access to the vault of the station where they confiscated guns.

One thing I do know is that the two founding fathers of our nation, Sir Alexander Bustamante and Norman Manley, would never have taken this lying down.

Our Jamaican politicians need to wake up.
