Ratu Ulu FullMoon has been caught LYING to the Nation.

Just arrogance, lack of knowledge and research on the part of Ratu Ulu's speech writers. So typical of this lot of idiots who run our country.

Cooks Who?

No he didn’t lie. He just didn’t have the facts and he didn’t care. It wasn’t even part of his speech. It was his extra.

He just said it because it sounded good, progressive and a smart thing to say. Say something, anything to make Frankie happy. Who cares about the facts?

Next he’ll tell us that the Cook Islands are not in the Pacific…

Now that it is established that the President was wrong in fact, will the Parliament Speaker correct this and will the Fiji Media (including FBC&Fiji Sun) publish this or will this government thrive on continued false propaganda.

Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
