Critic’s note: Peter is such a skunt. All he has to do is call NCN or any reporter in Guyana and if they do not have the info they will be able to get it in five minutes. He has clearly written to GMC because he wants to show off (ONCE AGAIN) that he is giving something. It is impossible for this man to do anything good and stay quiet about it.
