Man attempts to block Prime Minister Patrick Manning from entering his property<\/a>AN ANGRY pensioner yesterday [March 15, 2010] held on to the shoulders of Prime Minister Patrick Manning as he chased him off his property, after the Prime Minister entered the man\u2019s premises un-welcomed, during a walkabout of the St Joseph constituency.
\n
\nThe incident happened at about 5.30 pm when Manning, in the company of St Joseph MP Kennedy Swaratsingh, toured the constituency as part of the PNM\u2019s preparations for pending local government elections.<\/p>\n

The pensioner \u2013 who refused to give his name \u2013 was visibly upset when Manning approached his premises at the corner of Real and Picton Streets, San Juan, an area of the St Joseph constituency.<\/p>\n

As soon as the pensioner, who said he was 81 years old, saw Manning approach, he stood at the gates of his house and crossed his arms in an \u2018X\u2019, telling nearby media personnel that he was not in favour of the Prime Minister.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not in favour of the PNM and I\u2019m not in favour of the Prime Minister and I am not supporting his actions. I don\u2019t want any part of this,\u201d the angry pensioner said, wearing a shirt with a Christian religious slogan on its front.
