And while he was on the subject, the Prime Minister also repeated a theory he heard on the rat. It's one that has been gaining traction in the UDP where the rat in the incubator has been labeled as some kind of plant, that someone put it in there - where it bit a newborn baby. Today the PM referred to it tongue in cheek, but gave some credence to that very bizarre theory:..
Hon. Dean Barrow, Prime Minister
"I have spoken to several persons who claimed to be very knowledgeable and who say that the incubator is a sealed facility if you will, that a rat simply can't get into, except it cut it and there was no cut. So I am not going to offer you my own opinion. But I will tell you that there is legitimate respectable opinion from people that I consider of sound mind and sober judgement who say, who insist that rat was put in the incubator."
That was the end of the press conference - but later on we have a lot more from the middle of it where he told UB teachers and social security workers that they can huff and puff, strike and sickout as they please, no raise is coming before the election - that is coming after the break so please stay tuned.
CWU - the union speaks out for social security workers - while the chairman responds - and the PM weighs in too.
