KINGSTON, Jamaica – At least one Jamaica Labour Party member has come out to clarify a statement made by Opposition Leader Andrew Holness at a party rally in Spanish Town, St Catherine Sunday night. The member is insisting that Holness’ reference to not being a “fish”, was not made against the homosexual community.
Holness, in giving an address at the event, sought to take residents down memory lane as a child growing up in the old capital. In one case, he explained that he went to a canal in the town to swim and got into difficulty. He said he "nearly drowned”. Explaining how he got out of the situation, Holness said: "Well, you know we a nuh fish around here."
