Caribbean Punch

In the British territory of Turks and Caicos, where government ministers address each other as “The Honorable” and uphold the stodgiest of Old World traditions, the prime minister and a political opponent got into a fistfight, according to Caribbean Net News.
Prime Minister Michael Misick returned home by private jet from California, where he and his sitcom actress wife, LisaRaye McCoy, spend much of their time while she films “All of Us” episodes. McCoy’s co-star Duane Martin was also in the entourage arriving at the normally laid-back capital, Cockburn Town.
Reportedly plotting to shame Misick as an “absentee premier,” Arthur Robinson, a member of parliament from the opposition People’s Democratic Movement, videotaped the group's arrival at the airport Thursday evening, inciting the fisticuffs.
In an interview with the news agency, Robinson contended that Misick punched him five or six times in the chest and that the prime minister’s bodyguards seized his camera.
Turks and Caicos police said Sunday that an investigation was underway.

One must realise that Misick is still in a sense a newly wed. Hence he still wants to cling to his wife. Mike and LR need to keep address the management of their marriage. .He must be cautioned that long periods of time abroad ( not on diplomatic business) is something he needs to account for to the general public. I'm sure the TCI did not vote for a Premier at large but one on island.

Instead of the so called fisticup he should not have attacked his opponent but instead go about decent PR to deal with the matter.

Caribbean politicians are well known for ' taking care ' of their rivals by silent force. In this matter some way think it is untrue. But the fact that the videotape was confiscated from the two men means there is some form of truth in the matter.

I suggest the Governor takes this under his wings and do and independent investigation into the matter. As it is known that when matters are left up to the locals to investigate bribery is likely.
