NDM Ã¢â‚¬â€œ Bwoy Dem Really Different

Giggs — Thu, 17 May 2007 10:32:21 -0600

Did you hear the news this morning? NDM says do not rule them out of the next general election. Rule them out! You mean they are still around? Maybe IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m not listening enough to the local media but I did not realize that the NDM was still a force to be reckoned with. Judging from other responses that I have heard to the news story there are many other people who feel the same way. NDM, for your sake, I hope the party is working the communities of Jamaica at a grass roots level or come Election Day Ã¢â‚¬Å“dog nyam yu supperÃ¢â‚¬Â.
