We now have the N F Labour Party whose manifesto has been set out in clear terms. To insult the Citizens of the Sovereign State of Barbados to wit: That we are racists. We are xenophobic.
To ensure this objective is achieved “they” try to curtail free expression on the call in programmes. They seek to limit free expression on the blogs. They use their position to support and encourage by active participation in events that are intended to highlight our inability to comprehend issues which are the main concern of the citizens of Barbados. The most disrespectful aspect of all this is to address our Commissioner of Police in a tone which emphasizes, the Commissioner does not know how to do, and is not doing his job…the impertinence.
This from a Political Party which represents a country in which people are murdered weekly because of race. This is the final insult. Their presence is not to the public good, as a Political Party, and cannot foster “friendly relations” between two countries. They are an impediment to that desired outcome. It is for our “elected representatives” to step up to the plate and declare where they stand on this important issue of “illegal immigration” so that History may record what they did or did not do, in the interest of the Citizens of Barbados.
David, may I say almost single handed you have allowed free expression on this major issue. You are to be congratulated for your courage, foresight, and determination in that regard. Many others walked on the other side of the street and evaded the issue “Barbados Underground” stood up to the plate and faced it head on. What has happened is a lid has been kept on a boiling cauldron by selective clever censoring.
Thank God the ordinary Bajans have been alerted before it is too late. People showing wisdom and foresight are often criticized in the beginning, but subsequent events often show their “common sense.”
