MPs urge unity and kindness in Christmas messages
(CNS) Opposition Leader Roy McTaggart urged optimism and unity in his Christmas message to the country this week, a sentiment echoed by many other MPs who have posted festive videos on CIGTV’s YouTube channel. Deputy Premier André Ebanks asked people to spread some joy while acknowledging those facing difficulties. Meanwhile, Sir Alden McLaughlin, in his new apolitical role as speaker, reminded everyone that Cayman Islands legislators met for the first time at Pedro St James in December almost 200 years ago.

Noone listening after all the Xmas crime…what y’all going to DO?
Didn’t these same MPs hurl personal attacks, and engineer a political coup to overthrow the standing government, to install a corrupt one?
This current government is 90% the same as the previous one. If it is corrupt, so too was the previous one.
Ppm has loss plot and UPM has stolen the plot both are Useless Political Menaces!
More nothing messages. Can anyone say if anyone in an official capacity has made any mention of the dire situation happening again in Gaza? I have heard platitudes offered at times of tragedy for some places but have not heard any mention about the abhorrent situation in Gaza.
I would expect it meaningful for some mention from Cayman’s government and Christian society.
Based on the down votes, we can see just how “Christian” or “caring” those persons are. Over 10,000 children dead! Over 21,000 persons with many women and elderly dead. Practically all hospitals, schools, homes, refugee camps and places of worship bombed and completely destroyed. And on an official and Christian Leadership level, we don’t care? That’s very sad!
Why do these politicians believe they have to deliver a ‘Christmas message’? Just do your job for these islands, you are paid handsomely for it, not to preach to the ‘minions’.
Yeah gave the Civil Service workers 1500 $ and nothing to the old ex hard workers that made this civil service what is it today. Shame. Shame. I hope they have enough memory WHO NOT to vote for the next general Election.
What they need to do is unify & be kind to each other & fix this mess of a country. No good preaching to people if they aren’t following their own words!
Yes. I tried really hard to ‘spread joy’, but there was a hole in my joy bag, and it didn’t go nearly as far as I’d hoped.
Christmas message? Which is the King? There is no King or Queen on these Islands, you talking to your mind selves. Enjoy!
Urges unity and kindness LMAO promoted by who and between who? Little too late on that shit!
when you all Give back that big raise that you all accepted and stop being double-dipping money splurhing hypocrites, only then will we have good Christmases!
Hehe, unity and kindness at Christmas. Then cuss each other , cuss each other, slander and tell lies for the other 11 months again then?
Wouldn’t waste my time watching or listening to any of them, the ‘little man’ has more important things to do than those that still think they are sitting in their ivory towers exist – longer way to fall.
BS !!!
Yes Unity with the big pay day on 3 billion dollar budget and the Kindness of the UPM has shown the opposition PPM for their complicity with this fleecing of our economy by you political pirates Merry Christmas opposition ROY & Alden thanks to us you are still getting paid for doing absolutely Zilch Nada Nuttin for Cayman or Caymanians!
Because they like setting the example…. NOT.
MPs preaching to the ‘little man’?
Okay Ellen de G.
At least he’s not wearing one of those awful shirts.
There is that. Still, if I choose to wear my ancestral hunting tartan, I should not be castigated for it. 😀
Some us are not hypocrites so do not preach again just because of the time of year and as for 200 years, listen to what you preach.
Let the Christmas breezes blow you all away into never neverland!
