He's not saying anything not everyone, in Jamaica at least, doesn't know. My friends have scammers for neighbors - they hear them on the phone plying their trade. And they are bad neighbors. They are loud, ride loud motorbikes, blast music at all hours...its often a relief when one turns up dead or the police raid and arrest.
Mr. Kennaway seems to be glorifying this national scourge. He seems to gloss over the fact that disputes are settled with guns and murder....and while they will not point a gun and shoot a tourist they WILL kill anyone who steps in their way including their family members.
And that's the grim reality. Truth is, Mr. Kennaway is safe where he is (or was) while drinking his rums in St. James. Montego Bay is currently the safest city in Jamaica. Sadly, the many who have managed to slip by the police and army barracades are hiding out in the cane fields of Westmoreland, wreaking havoc in the parish. There are shootings daily, so many they are not reported in the newspapers anymore unless a visitor or non-Jamaican is killed.
I feel safe in Negril but I'm not oblivious to the crime there. Still tons of muggings and petty crime...with more tourists comes more predators.
As far as Mr. Kennaway calling an old woman "stupid" for sending $100 after being relentlessly pressured by this piece of shit - that's just cold, its not even funny in any realm. There is a reason why his scammer friends prefer to pray on the elderly - they are vulnerable and tend to bow to pressure and fear. Which makes what they do that much more reprehensible.
There's lots of things to poke fun of in Jamaica....I'm not sure he even has the experience to do so. He doesn't live there and its easy to poke fun at a serious life issue for those that do safe in his home in the UK.
