Sir Clive Lloyd proceeding with libel suit against Guyana Chronicle
Clive Lloyd (l) and his attorney Ralph Thorne. Former West Indies captain Sir Clive Lloyd is taking the Guyana Chronicle to court, his lawyer Ralph Thorne confirmed Tuesday night.
Lloyd claims that the newspaper attributed to him, disparaging comments made about all-rounder Jason Holder, himself now a former West Indies captain. However, the man who is also known as the Big Cat insists that he did not speak to the reporter employed by the Guyanese media house.
The offending story published on March 13, was headlined ‘Holder has outlived his usefulness in the position, says Lloyd’ over the byline of Rajiv Bisnauth, who has subsequently been suspended. The newspaper has also apologized for their publication of the story.

CARIBBEAN Airlines (CAL) transported 20,000 doses of the Sinopharm covid19 vaccine from Toronto to Guyana on Tuesday.
The Guyana Chronicle reported on Wednesday that the vaccines were donated by China and will be used firstly to immunise Guyana’s frontline health workers.
A CAL release on Wednesday said the airline flew the shipment of vaccines to the Cheddi Jagan International Airport.
CAL’s general manager, cargo and new business Marklan Moseley said the airline was happy to transport the vaccines.
“We have always carried temperature-sensitive cargo and since the approval of vaccines for distribution, we ensured all measures were in place to transport same. Caribbean Airlines Cargo will continue to do its part in the movement of relief supplies throughout the region.”

From your penultimate link. The very first paragraph:
Marx and many of his less radical contemporary reformers saw the historical role of industrial capitalism as being to clear away the legacy of feudalism – the landlords, bankers and monopolists extracting economic rent without producing real value. But that reform movement failed. Today, the Finance, Insurance and Real Estate (FIRE) sector has regained control of government, creating neo-rentier economies.
This is completely wrong. Absurdly wrong.
Marx didn t state that.
But that doesn t even matter, as the gravest error is this: feudalism – the landlords, bankers and monopolists extracting economic rent without producing real value .
