KINGSTON, Jamaica - Who is this special advisor from Britain, Shaun Bailey, and what is his real purpose here in Jamaica? Those of us who are of the pre-independence era, and who have emerged through the delivery of our country from colonialism to independence, must ask the above question with sadness. Indeed, some of our dead National Heroes (Sam Sharpe, George William Gordon, Marcus Garvey and Nanny) must be turning in their graves at the recent utterances attributed to the visiting special advisor, that we must hold on to The Queen and be prepared to accept that the British people will not approve payment for reparations.
