Letter: The PNM would never admit it was wrong

The huge award made to the Treasury of Trinidad and Tobago in the BAE matter is no only unprecedented in size but also in potential impact on the future political fortunes/credibility of a certain political grouping named "the People's National Movement", who had staked so much on the decision going against our favour that they now find themselves literally like the guy who somehow climbed the a gru-gru bef tree only to find himself having to scale down quickly because he awakened a treetop jep nest.

Frankly speaking, I don't know how the PNM could escape being viciously stung due to its precarious and self-induced dilemma, since they have contrived over the past several months to raise the ire of every reasonable person, even the President, over decisions about which they themselves had wholeheartedly concurred. 


Having seen that for more than a year they have been swearing that the Attorney General would lose the BAE arbitration trial, to Trinidad and Tobago's massive detriment, news that the exact opposite occurred has to the biggest application of egg on your face in history of national party politics in this part of the world.

But, as we have seen, such things do no matter to the PNM: they fight alone, win alone, lose alone. Being irrelevant alone therefore is not beyond their grasp; in fact, it seems to be their chosen path.
