So the British people have voted to leave the European Union. Personally I believe that in such a far reaching referendum that has implications for the lives of  so many people I believe that it  should have been a more definitive vote. This is a decision that will affect the citizens of Britain for decades if not centuries to come. I think that to leave at least sixty percent of people would have to votes 'yes' to leave. In a general election people are voting for a government for the next four or five hears. Already we are hearing calls for a second referendum. There have also been calls for a parliamentary vote. Scotland which voted to stay in the EU is gearing up for a second referendum on whether it should leave the UK.

I have a number of publications on the Internet with various publishers. I even see my books being given away free without my permission. I don't know how this could be so. I might have ton give up writing or seek sponsorship since at the moment I can't get a job. I love writing especially the short story. I wouldn't mind getting sponsorship to continue my writing. I think my novel 'Uptown Lovers' is a very good book but I think my problem is that it was published P.O.D. It's the same think that happened to my novel 'Undercover Soldier'. I have now revised the latter book but don't hold out any hopes especially if it is published as a P.O.D.

How could the under seventeen Reggae boys lose to St. Kitts? It seems that the football program is not working. The senior Reggae boys went to the Copa America cup and didn't win a single game or score a goal. Several commentators have been calling for the resignation of the head coach. Frankly with just two more matches left I doubt if that makes sense. Anyway we see what Brazil did to their coaching staff for their failures in the Copa America.

S o the Tivoli Commission has finally delivered it's report. Many persons are commending the Commissioners on the report. It cost a lot of money for the report. The report recommended that an apology be made to the people of Tivoli and compensation be made. This is all a drain on the country's resources. Something like what happened in Tivoli must never be allowed to happen again. The Commissioners also recommended the dismantling of the garrisons but that is easier said than done.  Many persons are saying that the Tivoli residents must share some of the blame. Some of them refused to leave the community when the chance was offered them. Also some of them were manning the barricades.

As I have said before wasting money to build a bus park we should build a Public Hospital for Portmore.  If people from Portmore get sick they have to go hospitals several miles away. I remember on night I fell and cut my forehead. I  went to a hospital in Kingston the same night. Only a bandage was put on the cut and I was to return for it to be stitched the next day. No doctor turned up so I ended up at a private doctor.

So Mr. Donald Trump has become the Republican nominee and Mrs. Hilary Clinton, the Democratic nominee for the White in the November 2016 General Elections. Already many persons this side of the world are holding their breath and looking on with horror at the prospect of a Trump victory. He has said some things that makes one wonder what will the world look like if he ever gets to serve four years in the White House. Will the world survive a Donald Trump in the White House?

I am about to re-publish Undercover Soldier. My sister-in-law said that it was a good book but  I should cut down on the number of killings. I first published it with a couple of internet publishers. I think that because I publish it as POD it didn't do well. I get just one review which was very favorable. I still need to know the formulae for getting reviews. My novel' Uptown Lovers' hasn't made a sale nor gotten a review. It is a POD book. Here in Jamaica most writers like myself are on our own just struggling. We have to have a 9-5 job to make ends meet. The Ministry of Culture only recognize us during the Independence Celebrations. By the way I will be publishing 'Undercover Soldier' very soon.
