In the race to become the most dotish person in TnT, we normally had persons like Tattoo, Jerry Narace, P**rick, Hunt, McDonald and others of similar ilk. Enter one previously unknown Farid Hinds. If you are wondering who Hinds is, wonder no more. Hinds is/was purportedly a ‘minister’ in the Mystery of Tourism, Tobago… ooops, Ministry.
Previously there was a Farid Hinds who was a ‘Fleet Logistics Manager’ at the NWRHA in 2008 and appointed to the Board of the Tourism Development Company (TDC). Same person? I believe it most likely.
The reason Farid is in the running stems from a series of emails exchanged with the Greens - the English couple who were attacked, chopped and robbed while in Tobago. For brevity, I shall only post Farid’s emails, and point out a few obvious errors.
