@ BAFBFP …and maybe one day you would be mature enough to recognize that having an opinion does not constitute one to be an idiot!

Question to all who may know…In the last two budgets the PM spoke a of VAT refund for persons building houses under a certain value but up to this day the VAT office can not advise on how to go about claiming this refund can anyone who may know what is happening advise on this issue?

If someone does not understand something or somebody, then I suggest that it is much better to say nothing than to spread a falsehood. (As Mrs. Palin said, “Stop making things up”).

Each person has his tolerance for provocation.

LIB, you must make up your mind. If you blog, write, go on call-in programmes and promote your high intelligence and all the other Bacchus-like indulgences that titivate you, then you are fair game for anything: criticism, praise, lies, slander etc.

Get with it. No one has done a smear campaign against you. And don’t pray for one.

They just find you obnoxiously arrogant (with little to be arrogant about) and their anger at your brazen emptiness is showing!

I suppose the PM could have said the same thing you are saying when you confirmed Sylvan Greenidge’s nasty diatribe and then went on to say that you have heard certain things about our PM.

Now that someone has “heard” something about you and spreading it, you vex. The shoe getting tight as shite!

I feel sorry for you, son! But you made your own bed…

Mash Up claim that from reading LIB he draw blah blah. He read all the posts? or just a few? Nearly 800 over 3 years.? Even when BLP in power? Mash joking or he honestly only read a few? Step up and say Mash. You can say what you want no one can deny.

Veritas, you suggested that LIB is fair game for lies and slander. I am interested to know whether you would be as unsympathetic to LIB’s situation if your name was being scandalized on a blog. The truth is that gossip and rumormongering have always been problems in Barbados because of its size. However the bajan blogosphere has made things so much worse. We bloggers hide behind the bulwark of anonimity and tell the world that person A is a pervert or that person B is a racist. It seems that once our reputation is intact it doesn’t matter what happens to the reputation of others.

so what if rickey singh get kick out of barbados. as a bajan, i would be glad. most bajans would be glad too. he is an ungrateful man. badmouthing barbados when this country take him in when he was a refugee running all over the place. tell he go back to guyana and support jagdeo.

patricia nandwani. who are you? your name aint a bajan. you are a guyanese? you run from jagdeo? you come into this country and want to tell us bajans what to do. u ready to curse us too in our country. we run our affairs. you cant tell jagdeo what to do but want to tell us what to do. dont run your mouth in our business. it is none of your business. mind your business.

@Themis
“When and where did Rickey Singh malign Barbados?”

You of all people should know better. I can think of the Editor of the Nation Newspaper that Bajans who been complaining has done a great disservice to this nation and continues to do it. Why you hung up on Rickey Singh? Call all the names that many have identified as maligning Barbados, not just one. Actually, I thought he was speaking about one LIB.

LIB, you don’t have to write about yourself in the third person under so many names. We know already the brilliance, qualifications, food you eat, articles you write, who you worked for, where you children go to school, that you can coach a thousand sports etc blah, blah, blah, on and on and on ad nauseam. Good.

Now to the point.

I am saying anybody is fair game in this environment. But I am also saying that LIB did not demonstrate any passion for being indignant should the Lazslo letter about Hartley be untrue.

Go and read him. He relished it. And whetted our appetite (if you have one like his) for more innuendo about others including politicians as told at tennis, on the beach etc. blah, blah, blah.

I have no sympathy. And I’m sorry that the Work Permit was delayed!

This is why in defamation law you do not have to mention a person by name to refer to them. Who else fits the pointers f given by the PM? “…writer” “to whom we have extended a welcoming hand and embrace…” ” precedence (sc. precedent) for dealing with such ingratitude…Tell me, who else?

What are the Police going to investigate? According to the Nation Henry is quoted as saying “I will turn Barbados against you” no threats of violence or physical harm. The Nation is within its rights to report the matter to any Press or International agency it wants, but to the Police? That’s another matter.

In another part of the Press Thompson said that three other people including a Minister and a Nation Reporter were present during the phone call, I wonder what the Reporter will say if the Police interviews him.

There may be several articles that define the Nation’s relationship with the PM and the DLP but none more than this.

The plot thickens aiii,aiii,aiiiii

LIB, don’t be so selective. If you have posted 800 times in a few years it means you are probably talking too much. You can’t remember what you said! You should do less writing and more thinking.
____________

Sargeant, you are on the ball as usual. Albert Branford was not a guest writer. He was an Associate Editor. That may mean that he was taking the official position of the Nation.

There is more though: in 1986 when the DLP won and there were 3 Opposition Members the Nation said they would be the official opposition to the DLP due to the depleted numbers in the House.

In 1999, when the DLP won only 2 seats? Not a single word!!!

One thing I agree with though. We need some more scrutiny. This time we need to scrutinise the press.

It might reveal a strange connection between Carol Martindale and Mia Mottley. Dig a bit deeper! The truth never dies. Politics makes strange bedfellows!!!

Things are always swept under the carpet here. Roxanne Gibbs daughter licked down and killed someone: silence. If it was my son, God bless him, he would be on the Nation’s front page.

David Thompson needs to stand up to them and I read what he said and, as the saying goes, there are always two sides to a story.

@Themis
“Who else fits the pointers f given by the PM? “…writer” “to whom we have extended a welcoming hand and embrace…” ” precedence (sc. precedent) for dealing with such ingratitude…Tell me, who else?”

You think you real smart. You providing the innuendo and placing it on Thompson. I think Thompson smarter than you and that you have an agenda here. I know you will deny it but your innuendo has given you away.

I think that in my humble opinion, when I think of the damage that the Nation Newspaper has done parading as a national newspaper, makes Ricky Singh look like a cherry in a pile of raisins. Tek that!

Themis: I think he is though.

That’s why you are engaging in this debate. He said enough but not all. And you are working hard to make us hear and see what he didn’t say. Thompson must be a master of the spoken word!

Or Themis has a lot of time on his/her hands to prove how smart he/she isn’t.

Why do I have to have an agenda? And you don’t have one, I suppose? It is not necessary to refer to someone by name to defame them- see Jordan v. Barbados Advocate-

You still have not told me who else the description fits…

@Themis

I not getting into any tussle with you. You smart? Well read what I wrote.

Yes, I have an agenda and a political one at that but not party political. Mine is a people’s agenda.

You are claiming that they could. Could you at least give me the name or initials of ONE such person?

MUBB, you need to clean off that crystal ball of yours, it dusty and cracked.

“Making a mountain out of a mole hill”
My take on this HH situation with Nation whoever- she -is.
I see nothing wrong with what he said. Threat my ass? He just was asking for ‘fair -play’.
All dat was said was he would expose she and she gettin on pissy. Get a life, wunna klowns.
I looking fa sumting mo dramatic an when I read dis nonsense, all i cud do is:
stupseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
I dun wid de f*^king nation as of now.
Dem rastwhole wings want clipping.
Cadres results gih a lot a dem de ‘belly’.

Bias as shyte.

Is Adrian Hinds aka Tall_boy // August 24, 2009 at 5:05 PM saying that Virginia public records are going to show something terrible about somebody? Does anybody else think that sound silly? Like Solomon Gundy…Man born on Monday, married on Tuesday, sick on Wednesday, died on Friday…That’s the story? Or is it that Man marry horse or something? Tell, no man. The public know already, brother. PUBLIC RECORD….Means…NO SECRET…

But if its public already what will be news? You find out? You ever try to sell a newspaper by reporting what people know already? You think the editor wont wonder why he hired you?

Find any nice items in Massachussetts you would like some of us to look into for you? Adrian Hinds…IRS…You told some of the story already…

We read too Adrian. Read well.

publicly available records cannot mean that the public already knows the contents thereof or cares to know. I have nothing to hide, and have no image to project and or to protect. Lets go for it. You disclose my shortcommings and I do the same for LIB and lets see which get the most attention.

Negroman,
Dah doan want nutton wid you. You is keep it real and serious like a heart attack.
De Nation want ‘dunnin’ up. I dun up VOB evva since.
Guvment should ‘pull-out’ fa tru an doan leh dem breed na mo. ‘Pull-out’.

Whether Adrian is a man or a boy ain’t got nutton to do wid you, ya rat-catcha.
Do like Robin Hood an’ go an’ play wid ya likkle blue balls.
Adrian smarter dan you by leaps n’ bounds.
“Buse’ me now, I waitin.

When I visited this same site, I wasn’t prohibited. It was about how men can rid themselves of unwanted boobs or fat by exercising. I might be wrong.

If there’s such a xxx site, gimme a holla Adrian.
Ya nevva too ol’ ta learn.

Scout wrote “That is why I’m disappointed with Henry for falling into their trap”

Hartley’s Indescretion wrote “I’m surprised that Hartley got carried away like that and fell into a trap”

Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen, don’t be silly.

Nobody set a trap for Hartley.

Nobody trapped him into picking up his telephone.

Nobody trapped him into opening his mouth.

There was no trap set.

Mr Henry was hoist on his own petard.

Nobody can be blamed (or praised) for Mr. Henry’s behavior but Mr. Henry himself.

He and only he controls his mouth.

Hi, hunny, u seem to be missing de “ole man”, RH. Don’t worry I still hey! But last time I checked they weren’t “likkle” and they weren’t blue. They might have welcomed a “licking” if u would like to oblige! LOL,LOL.

Call you frien de rat-ketcha Mongoose to ably assist you, fa ol time sake and give ya hand/wrist a rest.

J,
I would like to know how it can be determined that it was HH if it was a telephone conversation? Anybody could got access to a phone and call anybody. It would be fa dem ta prove it is he. How easy is that? Just curious.
