THERE WAS an ostentatious celebration when the police removed some young men – about 16 of them – who have nowhere to sleep from a property in Millsborough last week.
The delight was palpable. If we had enough drums and vuvuzelas, we would probably be worse than the “rowdy gays” as we celebrated the demolition of a perfect(?) house that could have been donated to the Women’s Crisis Centre. It’s a shame there wasn’t a proclamation for a national holiday to extol our uncaring and intolerant attitudes towards the poorest and most vulnerable Jamaicans.
