Pension

Auntie Cheryl - Monday, April 20, 2026

Doux-doux! It is Auntie Cheryl in Chaguanas, the kettle is on, the doubles man just cycled past, and the morning is BEAUTIFUL. Let me tell you, my children, this country is moving forward, FORWARD I tell you, and I have been waiting for a Monday morning like this one for years.

THE PENSION TAX EXEMPTION! FINALLY!

You hear what Madam Prime Minister announced on Friday? She is exempting pension and annuity income from income tax! EXEMPT! After a lifetime of working hard, paying your taxes, raising your children, sending barrel after barrel to relatives abroad — finally somebody in government is saying, you know what, you have done enough. Keep your pension money. It is yours.

THE EVERSLEY MATTER

Municipal Police Corporal Anuska Eversley was murdered inside the San Fernando Municipal Police Station. Inside. The station. Over the course of the same incident, more than sixty firearms and four thousand rounds of ammunition were stolen from the same facility.
