COLA Pulled Out 75
Fri, October 9, 2015
Last night, Grassroots Organization COLA held it's public meeting in the open lot on New Road adjoining Smiling Meats. 75 persons showed up to hear public speakers Russel Roberts, Moses Sulph, Delroy Herrera, and Murphy "Jihad" McLaren. All of them spoke passionately against Wilfred Elrington, try to convince Pickstock voters to vote for anyone other than the two term representative. Their campaign is based on the logic that if Elrington is rejected at the polls - he cannot be made foreign minister again - which, while fanciful, is misguided, because he can, of course be brought in through the senate.

Nontheless, the speakers took the rostrum and heaped condemnation on the Foreign Minister, describing him with words like "traitor" and "tyrant". They referred to the Government's handling of the ICJ push, Elrington's comments in relation to the Belize-Guatemala Territorial Dispute, and the unresolved Forward Operating Base on Sarstoon Island.

Several Politicians from the PUP and the Belize Progressive Party - passed through but did not speak. COLA intends to continue its anti-Elrington campaign.
