Why the Prime Minister Must Never Give Mark Golding an Audience — Ever Again

A Patriotic Message to the Prime Minister of Jamaica, the Most Hon. Andrew Michael Holness

Honourable Prime Minister,

This is an urgent appeal from a devoted and patriotic Jamaican — one who loves this country deeply and who has stood by you and the vision of a better Jamaica for years. I am writing not only as a citizen but as a defender of truth, justice, and national dignity. My message to you today is simple, direct, and born out of love for our homeland: do not entertain Mark "Gummy Bear" Golding.

1. A Man Who Has Shown His True Colours

Mark Golding is not your friend. He is not a friend of the Jamaican people. He has shown, time and time again, through his words, actions, and political maneuvers, that his interests are not aligned with the future we are trying to build for this nation. His mission is singular — to discredit you, tarnish your reputation, and destabilize the progress Jamaica is making under your leadership.

This is a man who has repeatedly disparaged your good name and disrespected your wife and family. He has attempted to undermine Jamaica's reputation on the global stage — not because he seeks justice or reform, but because he craves power. His disrespect has not been accidental or incidental; it has been deliberate, malicious, and calculated.

2. A Foreign Agenda Hidden in Plain Sight

Let us not ignore a crucial fact: Mark Golding is a British-born citizen. His loyalty is not rooted in the soil of Jamaica. He was not born with this island in his blood, and his actions reflect that detachment. His hunger for power is not driven by a desire to serve the Jamaican people, but by a colonial-style ambition to rule a land that is not truly his own.

It is a profound insult to our ancestors — those who fought for independence, sovereignty, and self-determination — that a man who was not even born a Jamaican seeks to lead our country while disrespecting its laws, culture, and people.

3. Reciprocity: The Only Language He Understands

Prime Minister, there is a principle that has guided human interactions for centuries: "Treat people the way they treat you." It is not a call for hatred but for justice, dignity, and self-respect.

If someone persistently disrespects you, your family, and the very nation you serve, they do not deserve the courtesy of your respect. If someone belittles your achievements and misrepresents your intentions for political gain, they do not deserve an audience with you.

Do not listen to Mark Golding. Do not dignify his insults with your attention. Show him the same level of disregard and disdain that he has shown you and the Jamaican people. Reciprocity is not vengeance — it is self-preservation.

4. A Leader Must Draw the Line

History teaches us that great leaders are defined not only by their achievements but also by their ability to stand firm against those who seek to destroy them from within. You, Prime Minister, have a duty to protect the dignity of your office, the integrity of your government, and the hope of the Jamaican people.

Entertaining someone who wishes you harm does not make you diplomatic — it makes you vulnerable. It signals weakness to your enemies and confuses those who believe in your leadership. The people of Jamaica need a leader who draws clear lines between patriotism and betrayal, between constructive criticism and malicious sabotage.

5. Stand With the People — Not the Pretenders

The Jamaican people — hardworking, patriotic, and proud — stand with you when you defend our sovereignty and reject those who disrespect it. We stand with you when you refuse to compromise our dignity for political theater. And we stand with you when you show that leadership is about protecting the nation, not appeasing its enemies.

Mark Golding is not one of us. He is not on the side of progress, justice, or unity. He is on the side of division, disrespect, and self-interest. And until he proves otherwise — not in words but in deeds — he deserves nothing from you but the same treatment he has given.

In conclusion, Prime Minister Holness:

 Do not entertain Mark "Gummy Bear" Golding. Do not let his insults go unanswered with silence mistaken for weakness. Treat him exactly as he treats you — with zero respect, zero tolerance, and zero relevance. This is how you protect your legacy, your leadership, and your people.

The future of Jamaica depends not on appeasing those who hate it but on empowering those who love it. And those of us who love it — your patriotic people — are watching, supporting, and urging you to stay strong.

Respect is earned, not owed — and Mark Golding has earned none.

6. Why the Prime Minister Must Never Give Mark Golding an Audience — Ever Again

Prime Minister, as you reflect on the many insults, lies, and calculated acts of sabotage that Mark "Gummy Bear" Golding has directed not only at you but at the Jamaican people, it is important to understand a fundamental truth: refusing to give such a man an audience is not hatred — it is self-respect.

This is not about anger or revenge. It is not about lowering yourself to his level. It is about sending a clear message — both to him and to every future enemy of Jamaica — that you will not dignify disrespect with attention. The most powerful thing a leader can do for those who thrive on negativity and malice is to deny them the very oxygen they crave: your time, your ear, and your platform.

When you invite someone like Mark Golding into your space, you legitimize him. You signal to the public that his words — no matter how dishonest or destructive — deserve to be heard. And once that door is opened, he will use every opportunity to twist your kindness into weakness, and your civility into submission. He will weaponize dialogue itself, using your own willingness to engage as a tool against you.

By contrast, when you refuse to give him an audience — when you turn your back on his provocations — you disarm him completely. You strip away the attention he craves, the headlines he seeks, and the false sense of importance he builds on the back of disrespect. Silence, in this context, is not passivity — it is power.

Moreover, this is about principle. You are not obligated to sit at the same table with a man who has repeatedly disrespected your family, slandered your name, undermined your government, and insulted the Jamaican people. Respect is not automatic. It must be earned — and Mark Golding has done nothing but prove that he deserves none.

And let us be clear: this is not hatred. Hatred is emotional and reactive. This is reciprocal. This is justice. This is leadership rooted in dignity. It is the simple, timeless principle that has guided wise leaders for centuries: "As you sow, so shall you reap." If he has sown disrespect, then he must reap disregard. If he has chosen hostility, then he must be met with indifference.

By denying him your audience, you are not closing a door out of spite — you are protecting the sanctity of the office you hold, the legacy you are building, and the dignity of the people you serve. Jamaica needs a leader who will not bow to opportunists or waste precious time on those who wish to see the country fail.

So, in closing, Prime Minister, I urge you to stand firm. Let the message be clear to Mark Golding and anyone like him: when you choose to treat Jamaica and its leaders with contempt, you forfeit the privilege of being heard. This is not hatred — this is strength. This is reciprocity. This is leadership at its

finest. And this is how you honor the people who believe in you and the future you are building for this great nation.
