THE Prime Minister said the British Government's recent imposition of a requirement for any Trinidad and Tobago national to pay for a visa before visiting the UK now proves once and for all the need for TT to leave the UK-based Privy Council.
Dr Rowley gave his final address as PM to a PNM rally for the presentation of its 41 candidates for the upcoming general election at Woodford Square, Port of Spain, on March 16.
He began by hitting at the Opposition as allegedly being unwilling to defend TT's sovereignty but to cheer on whenever others abused TT, saying that had happened last week when the British imposed the visa on TT nationals, which came after record numbers of people seeking asylum in the UK.
