Guyana seems to be usually remembered and mentioned for the wrong reasons

Apr 15, 2013 Letters

 

Dear Editor,
I had just read your News item under the heading ‘The hijacking of radio and cable in Guyana’, and thought the communications field in Guyana seems well and truly sewn up within a certain group and what that implied for the country as a whole.  A situation that a former boss of mine might describe as “worse than the first wife’s time”.
The late Margaret Thatcher was associated closely with the world of business and saw the damage done to that world whenever the union representing the employees of the public utility responsible for telecommunications called a strike.
The regular lightning strikes affected the delivery of mail and obstructed transactions that involved telephone service.  When she came to power the mail and telecommunications business was the first to be privatised.  Guyana may be in a very vulnerable position unless appropriate steps are taken to prevent it.
I next turned my attention to the local (UK) press and there was a report with the banner headline proclaiming “Inside North Korea: No ads, no planes, no internet, no mobiles, no 21st Century… A rare dispatch from deep within the lunatic rogue state enslaved by Zombie and Sons”.
The report mentions that  ‘…..Almost 400ft below the surface, it’s hard not to feel that we’re trapped inside a doomsday cult like the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas, or Jim Jones’s Peoples Temple in Guyana……………’
How’s that for a (sinister) coincidence.
