🚨Angela Brown-Burke Returns To Parliament Attacking The Speaker After Admitting Rules Were Followed

Added: 2026-05-06

[00:00:00]Hello JPU family. Welcome to another episode. I hope you guys are having a good week so far and you're all doing fine. So, we're having a we told you so moment. Yesterday, right after Gillette Holdness made that magnificent speech to bring back the house to order and get everybody back on the same page to carry out the job of the Jamaican people.

[00:00:22]Right after she spoke, I downloaded it and brought it here to you guys. For those of you who watch that upload, you would remember me saying that the speech was great. She said all the right things and it needed to be said, but I also said that not enforcing further discipline is going to backfire. Well, guys, lo and behold, after I uploaded the video, Angela rose and spoke. You heard defiance. You heard, "I'm not saying sorry." You heard, "I'm not afraid of consequences. Do what you have to do." So if the woman is not afraid of consequences and she not care nothing or she not sorry, then why not enforce consequences? I want you guys to listen to what the woman said yesterday in the parliament. And I'll chime in. No one gets to come into the chamber, regardless of who you are, to pontificate and to scold the rest of us without taking responsibility for your own lack of decorum and disrespectful behavior.

[00:01:35]>> Lack of decorum and disrespectful behavior.

[00:01:40]It would have been nice if she could give some examples because if enforcing the rules and the standing order is disrespectful, then that pretty much tells you what they they are expecting or not expecting.

[00:02:05]This for me is fundamental.

[00:02:08]It is about who we are and it is about our identity. I say to my boys, I say to my nieces, when you are in a relationship, allow no one to strip you of your dignity. Allow no one to make you feel as if you are not worthy.

[00:02:30]>> I am duty bound. Therefore, to live what I preach and to be an example to those that I have been saying, do not allow others to counsel over you.

[00:02:49]>> I am very clear. I am very clear in my mind that every action has consequences.

[00:02:57]>> We are leaders. Choice making is what we do every day. We take decisions and we bear the consequences.

[00:03:06]>> And so I say to this August body and to my colleagues, I am willing to cooperate with anyone who is willing to treat me as a human being.

[00:03:22]So again, why not give her the consequences of her actions last Tuesday? At what point was she treated inhumane since she has been in the parliament?

[00:03:35]>> I am willing to pay my part. Granted, I have never been a submissive female.

[00:03:43]>> I It's too late for me to be that now.

[00:03:47]>> It's too late for me to be that now. So you will not get a submissive Angela in the chambers. No. However, >> so to follow the rules and the code of conduct you swore to uphold is to be submissive. And there's something wrong with that. Okay.

[00:04:07]>> However, I respect my colleagues, >> but but there's a line I draw.

[00:04:14]>> If I come before you and every day you disrespect me. That's right.

[00:04:19]>> Them say one day the bucket bottom drop out >> and when it drops out and I stand here today very very clear when it drops out those who have the authority to punish go ahead.

[00:04:39]>> Go ahead.

[00:04:40]>> And nobody sought to move some motion for punisher. E when come in there with nice speech for deal with this woman when give this woman a platform to come and behave like this after what she did.

[00:04:55]I don't understand you know >> it's true.

[00:05:01]>> I do it not just for myself. I do it for those others who will come behind us >> and we will remember that in this house we are all to be treated equally. that in this house when we have certain positions we put aside our political partisanship and if we can't we step aside from the position that the country and so I have >> no I I am very clear I have dropped a lot of what I had prepared to speak today >> because I believe that this is important.

[00:05:45]>> I believe this goes to the heart of our democracy.

[00:05:49]>> Democracy is not just about you wielding a sword.

[00:05:52]>> It is also about how you reach across the aisle and make um accommodations and come to decisions to the benefit of all.

[00:06:03]I am tired of sitting here pressing my mic asking to be sp to to to say something and you don't have even the decency of listening and then saying no >> you are none of us here none is clairvoyant >> none of you live in my head >> and therefore even though you think you know me well you do not know what I am going to say when I press my mic >> give me the courtesy accordingly the respect >> as an elected member of this house >> to be heard. You then have the opportunity to determine whether it is okay or not for me to go ahead. I stand here as a representative of the people of South St. AND I come from the traditions of Porsche Lucricia.

[00:07:15]I I come from Vincent Brown who is still alive at 100 >> and would rule the day if he saw me in a position where I sat quietly and took this respect >> never >> never >> and so I'm hoping as I close that this will be a moment on which we reflect all of us. So she flips the script, make herself out to be the victim and make the speaker out to be the villain.

[00:07:48]Outside of the parliament, she told the gleer last week, Wednesday, that the speaker made the right decision. The speaker was within her right of the rules and the standing orders. So you see, they gave Angela the chance to come back into the parliament and be performative, putting herself in a victim's position and demonizing, vilifying the speaker. That should not have happened. And that is what happened when you do not enforce discipline. Part of discipline is not just coming and making a nice speech.

[00:08:28]Juliet wholeness. Part of discipline is to advocate for Angela Brownberg to be held accountable. Guys, right after parliament yesterday, it come down to where Angela Pwell and Dayton Campbell I give press conference a talk about say they need a new house speaker, an independent house speaker. That's where it reach right now and I will be talking about that tonight. But that goes to show you that rise united them. You see the thing is if the PNP had enforced rules, the risers would not have been able to overthrow their leadership and destroy their party. They were able to get away with that inside the PNP. So they come to the parliament now expecting that rules won't be enforced so that they can show their colors. And that's exactly what is happening. That's exactly what happened when the government side did not make sure that consequence was there to hold Angela Brownberg accountable. Why somebody in there never move a motion to have her further suspended?

[00:09:47]That's what you have to do. They come in there with expectations that nothing will be enforced and they're acting just like they did inside the People's National Party.

[00:09:58]This is very disappointing to see that you have a government in Jamaica. They are the government. Even when we hear about independent house speaker, who gets to appoint the house speaker? So now them come tell you say they need to change the rules. The government not get to appoint the house speaker anymore.

[00:10:21]Them need to appoint independent who who going to appoint an independent speaker within the framework of governance that we have today.

[00:10:32]You see so the defiance of them because the government did not enforce further suspension against Angela Brownberg.

[00:10:43]There's going to be a continue with guys. when we going to see something in parliament the next four years because really and truly when we hear people say make warmington be the speaker wington is kind of a loose cannon yes of the truth you don't know where you going and get from him but him know the standing orders and he will enforce the rules in there that's what you got to have yes Jul is trying to enforce the rules but with with enforcing the rules when they're broken there has to be consequences and Jamaica's parliament especially now must have a speaker who will enforce consequences when the rules are broken. So there it is. Like I said it would backfire and it did instantaneously.

[00:11:32]You cannot play nice with these people and I don't know when you guys are going to realize that they're not decent human beings and you cannot play nice with them.

[00:11:43]I'm not saying that you should be hostile to them. Like Juliet said yesterday in her speech that majority of the parliament them them them be theireel them follow the rules them do them know the standing orders them do what I'm supposed to do but these risers in there are a problem and if you guys don't stand for something and stand up for the Jamaican people because when you have these people coming in there disruptive and being irritating and stopping the proceeding of the Jamaican people when you do in the country a disservice.

[00:12:18]So why would you come in there, make this speech, this this profound speech, and then you don't enforce any consequences to the point where this woman stand up in there and flips the script to say I am the victim and you are the villain. What the hell can go so that's why we cannot do we cannot do weakness. We cannot do we cannot do people with no courage. Me try to understand guys why is it that the government side not just Juliet alone because any one of them in there could have move some motion to get Angela further suspended and none of them in there wonder the prime minister tell them do it none seat fur suspend from the parliament for do no man is a big disappointment that me know is a big disappointment when it comes on to having courage. Only think the PNP could have in a government the rise as them only think the rise as them could have in a government and want to own come do that to the point where he or she had to be removed from the parliament and the PNP could have come back in the parliament congi speech and enforce further discipline.

[00:13:37]No the risers them would not do that.

[00:13:40]They would embarrass, they would shame just because and the government there after how hard they fight and other people have to fight to make sure say the risers them stay in opposition sit up there in a government and make the people them come disrespect the Jamaican people and streng the Jamaican people and put further um discipline them think say do something good when sit down there making making beautiful speech and show the country say this behavior is complete and totally unacceptable and there should be consequence make come back wrong and strong never see this yet >> and to the rest of us without taking see them start there after start there right after parliament then go sit down in front microphone in front TV JVM and the whole of them I tell the country said the speaker must come down and they need independent speaker so their protest against the rules and against the speaker's chair continues well guys this is Jamaica politics uncover let me know what you think in the chat if you have not subscribed here, please do so.
