I wast'nt deh nidah! but wat James said I saw somewhere is dat Worrel was a progressive type and the close, closed and intense relations of barbados could have been stiffling and disagreeable to and for him.Why Worrell migrated to Jamaica ? What you have to say?
he needed room, freedom from Bim society so he split. it wud have been interesting to see if any the political impact such a career by worrel wud have had on the Yard!

worrell was a progressive and a unifier. but he was educated as british in Bim, in their mimic english public school system..... and in the end if we follow James logic again, Worrell was nothing if not an essential type of such human product...the older, grown-up and matured English public school bwoy.
if yuh have Beyond A Boundary check the epilogue and Apotheosis...the last chapter!
would Worrell have been a westindian 'Bolshevik' in the sixties and seventies in Yardie politics?
I doubt it!
would he have been progressive, honest, regionally oriented, nationalistic and statesman-like, raising the quality of westindian politics to higer lves tha it has occupied since that day...?
definetly yes!
but he would have been very left...could not have been very left for I dont believe he was really oriented that way. and westindian society has never really seemed ready for leftis adventures save in the day of Eric Williams of the University of Woodford square.
the people of Titty seemd ready to go very far in response to Williams teachings. Williams himself put an end to that and went straight right once his power was solidified and endless!

den again it might have depended on which of the Yardie parties Worrell joined and played a political role. chances he would have had to jon one of the two...or start his own...or be an independent.
I have no idea if any of the last 2 possibilities were possible back then.
but by 1972 Manleys party in Jamaica had turned decidely left relative to westindian reality and if Worrell was in that party wat then?
and the gestation of dat turn must have taken some time! worrell would have been part of its development...or not!
by the time of Michael Manley Worrell would have been still only been in his mid-fifties!
interesting!
