Mr. Veecock sounds like a fashion writer and critic

Jun 28, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
I refer to a letter written by Mr. Carl Veecock (15.06.2015) in which he expressed disappointment with the president when meeting with foreign dignitaries. The Nehru suits are a thing of the past. Ties and jackets are back in vogue and are an excellent visual presentation at photo shoots with visiting dignitaries in his office and at public functions.
Mr. Veecock sounds like a fashion writer and critic. Mr. Granger certainly is not. After India’s independence from Great Britain, Mr. Nehru wore his Nehru collar. Kwamy Nkrumah went back to his traditional African dress. Forbes Burnham and the other West Indian leaders wore the shirt jack. These were not fashion statements, these were revolutionary statements. Burnham referred to the tie as the colonial knot with which he had to dispense.
Without even thinking the honourable Brigadier President David Granger is making the same statement.
Wilfred George Walcott
