The Theophilus Family is hitting back hard!

The Theophilus family is perhaps the largest family group in the Choiseul/Saltibus constituency. For decades, they have been proud of their good name and reputation and they have justifiably become very sensitive to any attempt at dragging it into the mud.

However, at Saturday’s ill-fated national public meeting, a virulent and vicious attack was mounted on Theophilus Family – an attack designed to bring shame and disgrace to their good name and to discredit them. That attack was spearheaded by none other but an ex-parliamentarian who attempted to "caricature" and drag the Theophilus good name into the gutters.

Well, the issue finally came to a head on Monday when members of the Theophilus family openly and publicly confronted that ex-parliamentarian denied him access to their premises.

Meanwhile, Lorne who was very tied in the high court for the past couple of weeks will take time off to do two things. Firstly, he will visit members of the Theophilus family to discuss the matter with them; and secondly, he will review the tapes of the meeting to see if there is any possibility of legal redress. Lorne has made it clear that he will stand for anybody from his constituency who have been attacked by the ex-convict Tucker and his Ti Canal disciples.

Incidentally, the guilty ex-parliamentarian is a bosom friend of the Theophilus Family, having previously enjoyed almost total electoral support from them when he won his only election in the early 80s.
