That was a very awkward moment – stopping a concert (and MID SONG) to make this presentation. It was definitely a damper on the vibe. Nice gesture but really bad timing.
Your kidding? Really mid-concert for a photo-op! Shoulda been done at the start or during the break. Back in the day he would’ve been licked with becks bottles for stopping the party for a political promo. But, I guess that’s why they serve beers in cups now.
It really wasn’t abig deal. The crowd cheered when he was presented with the gifts and the show resumed.
SMH…..PLP governing through a photo ops. Can you spend less time taking pictures and more time actually doing something different from UBP/OBA.
At least he’s awake!!
The oba/UBP can’t take photos at this time their Leader is sleep in de HOUSE. I hear they can’t even find good candidates. My brothers & sisters keep saying NO!
FFS! Keep politics OUT of at least Cup Match! we’re all there to have fun and thse bozos stop the show. You just lost my vote.
It seems as though this has been the most nastily politicized Cup Match in history and the colonel’s remarks are only a small part of it .
Too late to make that request I’m afraid .
