Mon, 20 Apr 2026 07:30:00 -0400

Morning to all my people. Uncle Ramesh here, cup of Mauby in hand, looking out over the backdam and thinking about what the papers saying this Sunday. Let me walk you through it the way it really is, not the way the opposition vexers trying to paint it.

1. Ram and his “amateurish” talk

So Christopher Ram go on radio and call the government “amateurish” for not ring-fencing the Stabroek Block. You know what Uncle Ramesh think? Easy to talk big when you not the one at the table with Exxon.

CANU Q1 Seizures: A Remarkable First Quarter
