Speak well but accomplished nothing major.

He’s the reason why so many Jamaicans had to leave.

"5 flights a day to Miami".

[@norahs104]

Mesh up Jamaica in less than 2 years ...turn a surplus in negative .... turn a $1 that values more 2 pounds into cents!!

[@ErectkyleDysfunction]

If you analyze the contents of what he's saying, you can correlate them to the attempted destabilization of our Jamaican government by the Central Intelligence Agency between 1968 and 1976.

[@TOITN]

If you know this (and I agree) how are you able to support Ukraine given the events of Euromaidan? Not trying to catch you out, genuinely surprised. Ukraine has dons and posses too.

It went further than 1976

Michael Manley is Jamaica’s greatest Prime Minister & leader. His Excellency was eloquent, visionary, compassionate, powerful & respected.

You mean the PM who Lee Quan Yew, referred to as the closest thing to Don Quixote?....🤔

[@Amidat]

@@wayneanthony1089 With all due respect to Mr Lee... Jamaica was a much harder place to govern

Manley is just all about mouth talk and charisma but no substance.
