Editor,

Please allow my response to Mr Smith remarks to blame the captain.

I think you are quite right Mr Smith of course all blame and all fingers should be pointing at the captain on an event or a tragedy of a ship sinking.

You know this event in November 16 it is a totally different scenario mate, arsonists, looters, and rioters even the ringleaders i.e. the PRs and leaders of the Pangai Si'i gatherings before 16/11 they should all be held accountable for their criminal actions and be brought to Justice, that's the way civilised society works isn't it?

The Captain of the of the Pro-Democracy movement Samiela 'Akilisi Pohiva is the one to blame because the pro-demo ship is the one which is sinking, he is the one who had incited and encourage hatred and violence upon the minds of his poor followers, he had even made a public statement stating that civil disobedience is a posibillty if their demands are not met. See he is allowing violence as one of his political tools even though the King, PM and government, Parliament has allowed more room and time for more dialogue among parties in regards to Political reform.

Tonga as a ship still afloats mate, you and members of the Pro-demo ship should blame S A Pohiva your captain for the sinking of your ship, lucky he is not the captain of Tonga's ship yet.
