First and foremost, Chelsea is about business. The trade in horticulture is massive, and the exhibitors at Chelsea are there to do business. You are correct – there are huge opportunities for Barbados in this area, some of which are already being exploited. But we could and should do a great deal more – after all, it’s not that we don’t have available land.

There is something beautiful about flowers but not about the fact that Young People in this country are under attack by the DLP.

Young people who were eligible to vote for the first time in the January 15 general election – were about four-years-old and may have no recollection of the unprovoked economic warfare, which the then Democratic Labour Party administration declared on their parents, thereby robbing them (young people) of milk formula, food and threatening their education.

The DLP’s unprovoked attack resulted in an eight per cent salary cut; thousands loosing their jobs and countless others losing their homes; not being able to buy food; pay their bills or send their children to schools.

It is pure political insanity that the DLP is now doing precisely what it did between 1991 and 1994 but is hoping for a different outcome and result.

It was because of the “dangerous mismanagement” of the economy by the DLP when it was last in office that Barbadians were fed to the wolves and were placed on the frontline as well as on the breadline by an uncaring DLP Government.

The same thing is happening again and the reason is simple.

The DLP did not know what it was doing then and it does not know what it is doing now.

Management of the economy has never been the strength of the DLP.

For the fourteen years the electorate voted for the Barbados Labour Party they enjoyed economic prosperity.

In January the electorate decided to give the DLP a chance and the DLP repaid them with increased taxation (or the confiscation of their wealth) and a manufactured meltdown of the Barbados economy.

Like flowers that lack water, an absence of the BLP is causing the Barbados economy to wilt.

What is the Minister of African Snail; Rat Poison, 4H and Sweet Peppers doing!

I mean, what is he really doing?

What needs to be done – is written on the wall in capital letters, yet a weak Prime Minister David Thompson calls old men – who are not well – out of retirement from active politics – to help him run the country.

A serious confession for Mr. Thompson to make – that old man who are not well and have retired from active politics – are times more competent and intellectually sharp, than David Thompson is.

Why does David Thompson not do the country a favour and call election – unless the DLP is so power hungry and has determine that it has not yet had its fill at the trough – that it wants to hold on to power at any and all cost.

I say that Barbados must not loose its sense of outrage.

Unfortunately, we seem to be developing a tolerance for cruel and inhumane torture, even though there is a better way.

O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their reason.

Barbados takes no pride in agriculture there is not even a category for agriculture on this web site.

(I want one please)

I am going to change Barbadian views on agriculture by providing a hassle free way to grow your own food and still be able to live your’ hectic lives’. its called aquaponics.

I want a category on the main page, pun the right side, going down like how every other thing got it own category.

Please.
