Dear Editor, The West Indies will commence the 2012 20/20 World Cup event in Sri Lanka as the favourites in a major cricket tournament for the first time since 1979, when the Clive Lloyd-led team defended their 50 Overs World Cup title against England.

Dear Editor, When I received an email from a colleague inside the TUC in London informing me about today’s demonstration outside South Africa House in London, in support of the mine workers killed in South Africa and the dismissed bauxite workers in Guyana, my first thought was, why no mention of the slaughtered three at Linden.

Dear Editor, I have absolutely no regrets about the glowing way in which I wrote on the election of Barack Obama as head of the White House and the first black president of the USA: ‘Obama has become another Moses to the world’ (SN, Nov 2008).

Dear Editor, Recently, there have been letters discussing the US presidential elections and predictions have come from all directions as to the outcome, with the current polls showing an election too close to call.

Dear Editor, In Saturday’s Stabroek News (September 8) a Jamaican attorney-at-law, Hugh Wildman, reportedly asserted, inter alia, that the quality of judgements of the Privy Council is “far superior” to those emanating from our Caribbean Court of Justice and in purported proof of his conclusion, he cited an unspecified case in Guyana.

Dear Editor, The government representatives, officials, big-business miners, the Private Sector Commission, etc, in condemning the Linden electrical increase protest spouted all sorts of things.

Dear Editor, During a portion of the corruption debates on NCN Channel 11 last week, a most awkward statement was made by the former Head of the Public Service, Nanda K Gopaul who said, “What is wrong with a former President seeking to ensure that he lives a comfortable life after his presidency?”

Dear Editor, I applaud the government and opposition for expediting the inquiry into the Linden shooting agreeing to its terms of reference and the composition of the Commission of Inquiry.
