Offers free language lessons to our MPs
DEAR EDITOR,
Please allow me the space to proclaim the courtesy of extending my public service to our beloved and respected MPs, all of them, by offering free unlimited lessons in the refined use of the English Language to to suit every occasion. . I revisit what happened in parliament temporarily on Monday just for context, and not to revive what happened; or to disregard, though tempting. I am trying to help improve our MPs, our listening and reading experiences much more wrap-around.
Before proceeding, I must say this: I do not in any way or to any extent condone or support what has been thrown from both sides of the aisle with that visual toxicity. I cannot come close to such a vicious malice, which I credit to my training and upbringing, and I believe many of our parliamentary grandfathers have a complete lack. Could have been their environment; or we will go as far as to say that it can be traced to genealogy. But I look at what has been said, and I think the same thing could have been commended, but with this same caveat: while it carries out the required injection and punching, it is enchanted with sophistication and nuance our beloved mother tongue. Thanks to the British for that; and I will refer to the example of the House of Commons.
Editor, it is well known that the Hon. Members there may be vulnerable and non-verbal, when circumstances dictate. And yet there are lines that are never crossed. I could hear one of them intoning something to this effect: Hon. A member of the far side needs to reorient himself with the wonders of the color scheme in his clothing, in order to get a grip. There it is, with a message distributed with aplomb and stock relish; let the audience decide whether employing a ‘color scheme’ refers to sartorial splendor, or racial makeup, or predisposition of any kind. No one has to fall from the coffin and look to heaven for scriptural kaleidoscope inspiration to ram a site. Or to refer to it to gore. Everyone is on the same page, but limited in refutation. There is an opportunity to save face from both sides. Matter over, next agenda item.
Then, there was the matter of Hon. Gentleman, who felt the need to pierce in the same way. We will be a school in this way. ‘As there is a reputation for things and toys at an early age, great care should be taken when throwing stones where there are no greenhouses.’ What could be more neat than that? Why dive head into the sewerage system, which merely obscures and distracts from the intended point, and makes it more repulsive than the object of evil?
As I am on the issue of toys, I must admit that that one of the ninth power was in the titillating that he delivered to Guyanese. The Hon. The member should be extremely proud of that production, whether its prop was for reference purposes or not. It would have been prestigious if the toy waving member in Guyana’s legislative house saw it fit to announce that ‘the previous government had introduced vibrators that were supposed to aid the heart, but somehow the what they did nearer the apple area. Mr Spokesman, if the coalition were so anatomically challenged, then clearly it is being directly challenged on governmental issues. No photo required, enabling subtitles redundancy.
Editor, I can’t help it, so I inquire: where do we get these patriots from? What planet did she love to get rid of? And here are the bigger questions, what do we do with them? What can we get from them that are progressive? What expectations can they have of working together to get this nation’s business from here to there?
The single ray of light was the courtesy extended to the member whose predecessor he subsequently approached, which was most ceremonially distorted by directing how and when to mourn. The same message could have been conveyed (though we won’t go anywhere to this) by saying: surely it is wiser to take the inhaler at this testing time, to spare yourself? It is fitting and proper to conduct yourself with more grace, were it not for the dignity of belonging at such a hurtful moment. ‘The ut and the receptionist would benefit immensely from such (barbed) courtesy, which camouflages the subtlety of warning notes. Do not push the envelope.
Editor, I think most of them do not know any better, having grown up with the fairness of the raw goods that need some refinement. Lack of appropriate education. Lack of personal pride. Lack of something indefinable that commands: don’t go there. Not now, not ever. I remind one and everything that the lessons would be on the house. They need it; whether they use such material is beyond my control. I’m moving on.
Correctly,
Lall GHK
