When It All Falls Down: From PM’s Escort To A Jail Cell For Mark Flowers
posted (July 26, 2016)
And so it has come to this for Mark Flowers - a man who was the favourite of the UDP government - the man who provided the escort for the Prime Minister on the night of his re-election in November 2015. He was as publicly chummy with the UDP as a policeman can be - and tonight he is in jail. Today he discussed that trajectory:...

Daniel Ortiz
"It seem as though you've been at the mountain top, at the highest heights in this administration - this UDP administration, being associated with the Prime Minister and it seems as though you have taken a very steep fall all the way to the bottom. How could this have happened? Everyone thinks you enjoy some sort of, not even comradery, some sort of protection because of your connections to the UDP administration and now you are saying that elements of that same administration is the one that orchestrating not only your exit, but you're criminal charging."

Mark Flowers, former GSU Commander
"I will say this way, I have a lot of respect admiration and I will continue to respect and admire Dean Barrow. Dean Barrow, I love him. These minions, these little crooks and dishonest people who try to bring me hardship can't hurt me. There is nothing none of them could do to me that has not already been done to me. There is nothing they could try that will break me or change that relationship - that is a one on one relationship. It is not even political. It transcend political relationship that I enjoy with Mr. Barrow. That is not UDP/PUP, it is a personal liking that I have for him and I have always have that and this is not going to change that. I have never call him in all that is happening, because I don't think he deserves to even be bothered with what is going on. It is something that I can deal with, it is something that the courts can and it will be exonerated. It is just the process from which we get from here to exoneration. I am challenging these people to do the test. Do a professional investigation, do it with some level of professionalism. I challenge Russell Blackett to manned up and be a man and not a twig who succumbs to the dictates of a playish, childish politician. These are little boys' action."
