“You know, today we were eating in the restaurant and, you know, I asked for onion sauce and they said, “There’s no way we could afford onion sauce because the price of habanero has increased exponentially.  The price of bread, the price of rice, the price of chicken, the price of beef, sugar which is a controlled price, you know, is being sold above the controlled price.  That is the centerpiece of the complaints that we hear.  We also hear about a government that lacks compassion and lacks a social tenets upon which the People’s United Party was built during the George Price era. When you hear Osmond Martinez say, over and repeatedly, that Toledo East has been abandoned and Toledo East has been neglected and Toledo East is the dark ages, that is an indictment of his People’s United Party government that has been there for the last three and a half years.  That is an indictment of him as C.E.O. in the office of the Prime Minister, controlling a billion dollars, having done nothing for the people of Toledo East and that’s what you hear them saying.  And in the other half of it, you hear them saying that this is an ungrateful party, the People’s United Party, they are ungrateful.  They use you and they throw you away and they look at what they did to Mike Espat, some think they drove him to an early grave.  Some feel that they totally used and abused the family and threw away Melhelm Espat.  So you have U.D.P.s and P.U.P.s united.”
