Jamaican social media, derisively dubbed the #ArticulateMinority by Cabinet member and long-time MP Bobby Pickersgill, took to the outside of Jamaica’s Parliament to protest over a prospective UK-Jamaica prison deal proposed by David Cameron and the Jamaican Government.

The hashtag #ArticulateMinority was used to follow along for those who couldn’t make it the protest. These are some of the best tweets on the matter.
