I had a feeling so. Once they get their windfall from the sale of their shares and whatever MILLION dollar bonus that EMERA promise them if they can pull it off, soon after that you will hear that they all retired and are laughing all the way to the Bank.

Tell me again CRUSOE, “what they think best”. BUT FOR WHOM?

just observing

“there are real issues to be discussed”

The biggest issue is Hudson’s SALVATION ARMY THRIFT SHOP suit.

Only if people would learn to ignore CCC’s stupid comments he would realize that he needs to post something worthwhile for others to engage him.

u r a disgrace to involved the thompson’s daughter in your debate. she probably a teenager on becoming a women. even if there was a reason (and i’m sure there’s none) why they had to get her out of Barbados so what? u probably did worse when u were her age but ur family was never in the limelight. only immature adults would use such tactics such as yours to cascade over sensible debates

Hamilton Hill or Hartley Henry or Wishing in Vain or ….

Re. your post of January 8, 2011 at 1:15 AM;

You are right. I think the BLP, over the last half century or so was a superior party to the DLP. But, if there were an election in the near future, I could not vote for the BLP as it is in a shambles, primarily due to Owen Arthur’s and the Gang of five’s intemperate and ill-advised actions to oust Mia Mottley and arguably compounded by her apparent “scorched earth” reaction. The current DLP has a few good parliamentarians headed by Sealy who appears to be doing a very good job at this time along with Chris Sinckler, the new AG, Stephen Lashley and I would have added Donville Inniss except for the recent QEH imbroglio. I think Freundel Stuart is a good man but not a good politician in the mould of the past great Prime Ministers of either side.

I think that Owen Arthur in his first 2 administrations kept a tight rein on his Ministers and ensured that there were no or minimal excesses. The alleged excesses, as far as I am aware took place in the third term. I don’t think that any party should be given more than two terms by the electorate.

There has been no tight reins used on Ministers in this current DLP administration. The blogs and indeed the real newspapers are replete with examples of behaviours which should have been nipped in the bud but were’nt. Just think of the gun incident for one.

Re. the names you mentioned that were paid significant sums from the public purse in the last BLP administration. Perhaps you can balance those names with the new names of consultants brought on by DT in this admin, starting with Hartley Henry who, while working exclusively for DT on a demonstrably part time basis, was doing similar work throught the sub-region, and still managed on his own to pull down much more than any of the individuals you mentioned. Why don’t you tell us how the aggregate amount you mentioned compare with the aggregate amount that DT authorized for his consultants as surely what is bad for the BLP should also be bad for the DLP.

The Gatekeeper
It is not my fault if no one in the Barbados Labour Party told Hudson that Polysster is not a good material to make a suit out of.

First of all it is cheap, wrinkles easily, keeps you hot, and looks odd.

If he can not choose something as simple as a proper suit, how do you expect him to represent the good people St. John and make proper decisions?

Wunna DEMS frighten to touch that Freundel Manifesto I posted above? Ever since I put it there, everybody bypassing it like one of those reckless PSV’s, and CCC tries to dominate the issues by talking excessively about an irrelevant suit!

I really want to know from Freundel Stuart himself if he ever got to see The St. John Development Plan (Thompson’s Legacy)he was asking David about at Question No. 3 in his (Freundel’s) DLP Presidential Manifesto. Mr. PM. Stuart, PLEASE let the public know, or you can get your Principal Political Advisor Hartley (ali assses WIV, Hamilton Hill and all the others) to provide the information.

Not even BU David ain’t nothing to do with the Freundel Manifesto!

“I was shocked to hear the Minister of Education Mr R Jones acknowledge that he is involved in the practice of the occult. He gleefully revealed that he “travels at night” and that he speaks to David Thompson. I know the nominations were done at the Lodge school but is the by-election (and the Government) being run by the lodge as well?”

****************************************************
I couldn’t make it to the DLP Meeting, and so I have no first hand knowledge of what transpired, but did Jones really say this? Did he reveal what Thompson told him exactly, or what the whole conversation with the dead man was about?

And did he really make a public request for Dr Esther Sookoo to examine him from waist down? JONES GOT THE HOTS FOR SOOKOO?

If so, I am embarrsed by my Minister of Education. Imagine that Jones in addition to being an occult obeah man, is also disrespectful. Wow! Jones talking to dead people! As GP would say ….. Murdah!

P.S.

@KISSMYA | January 8, 2011 at 5:01 PM | I commented on it Burts !

Thank you K, I had missed your response. And by the way K, these people “Simply Obnoxious” and his/her ilk were the same ones that said the most awful things about Hon Owen Arthur when the great leader and his wife lost their new born baby. These people from the Thompson Dynasty are fair game, because they all plan to hold that St.John seat, one after the other! The dead king so willed it …… A VERY UN-Barbadian thing!

Brilliant commentary on the issues Pong! Yet another indication that the DEMS have used and abused the poor St. John people. They have deceived and lied to the St.John people for 52 years, and are now in the process of further perpetrating the biggest political deception ever in Barbados, all for the sake of a DYNASTY.

Inside the BELLY OF GEORGE STREET, Political lying has become ENTRENCHED as a systemic phomenum!

That was meant to be “Phenomenon.”

Mr. Griffith does not have a snow ball in hell chance of winning the by-election. In fact, the DLP could run Micky Mouse or Donald Duck in St. John and still win by a mile.

Griffith is cannon fodder, just watch how Owen deals with him…..watch the body language. If you are going to get a good tail licking you could at lease look the part and dress properly.

I recommend to the people of St. John NOT to vote for Griffith even if only because it is clear he does not have the fashion sense for Parliament. I suggest the fashion police put him under investigation”

Quoting “VERITY | January 7, 2011 at 2:40 PM | …@Liberal…Where were you last week when BLP operatives like Random Thoughts”

I am not a BLP operative.

I voted for you idiots too many times to be a BLP anything.

Quoting David | January 7, 2011 at 3:46 PM | “Interesting to listen to PM Stuart last night explaining why he could not in good conscience have called an early general election. He believed it would have been taking advantage of Barbadians in their moment of grief.”

The PM won’t take advangtage of “bereaved” Bajans and yet the DLP and/or the people of St.John have no compunction taking advantage of of the genuinely bereaved Mara and kids?

Surely Mara and her children are far more bereaved than the people of Barbaods.

As for me I am not bereaved at all and I am quite able to spend 10 seconds casting my vote whenever the PM feels like calling an election.

RT you will certainly be bereaved after this by-election when the BLP MPs start blaming and butchering each other for the heavy defeat and again after the general election when your BLP is sent back to Opposition with even fewer seats.

All I’m praying is that the police dont get sent to anybody’s house over some breadfruit that went missing in St. John today.

The Dems like dealing with the dead. They vote for dead people in St John. In 1987, they voted for a dead Barrow, in 2011, they will again vote for a dead man, Thompson.

I wish that a certain blogger would get off the fashion scene, Mara is a bad dresser, has no sense of style or fashion, sadly enough, many have tried makeovers on her but she goes back to plain jane in no time. So please dont talk about style and clothes and Mara in the same sentence.

Truthful Burton, thanks for posting the Freundal indictment on Thompson, I lost my copy. We all know full well of the bloodletting that goes on in the DLP and it never fails to amuse me how thse Dems could dare to comment on the BLP. They are bold faced hypocrites.

I hear some DLP hack said that this election is a gauge on the BLP, not so, you see they admit that if you send a duppy in the name of the DLP those people will vote for the duppy.

By the way, fellow bloggers have you heard that Kenny Best had a alcohol fit over the Xmas period. The ambulance went three times to him, he refused to go, on the fourth time when whoever was with him called, the ambulance refused to go, they had to call the Minister of Health to get the ambulance to go back. So friends, when you see him in the chair, and as he says, “when I sits in this chair”, you know that most of the times, he’s half drunk. He seems to have missed his drinking partner, David.

I see that Hudson gone from Polyester suits to plaid shirts. He gone from bad to worse.

The only other person that I know who wears so many plaid shirts is CLYDE MASCOLL and he lost his seat last election to Chris Sinckler. He got quite a whipping. It is not surprising to me that Clyde Mascoll will be in St. John this week speaking on Hudson’s behalf. One fashion loser helping to bury another fashion loser.

Fashion challenge Clyde Mascoll and fashion challenge Hudson on the same platform. What next?

It can’t get any worse than this!

Why would the DEMs be excited about the massive show of of support last Thursday?

Wunna think dat if I guh home and my wife and children all run and hug me up and kiss me and then tell me that dem love me real bad, that I would guh work de nex day and brag bout um, unless I know dat I ent really deserve um?
Since the Bees trying to get a foot through the door, let them focus on the local issues and making all the promises they can think of. The DEMs instead should be addressing national issues.

Wunna could believe dat PSV operators using duh discretion to charge school children dat ride on duh vans and de Ministers parading pon de flatform in St.John and ain’t seh a word bout de issue.

Cuddear, going by the last few comments looks like the vibrancy of the Dems campaign giving the BLP pimps belly hurt! You guys haven’t seen anything yet!

It is not if Mara Thompson will win the St.John seat, it is by how much. In case the BLP makes ground on the seat, the DLP will have to go to the drawing board and make serious plans for the general elections then due in a short two years. Remember the austerity measures Sincklar just introduced, is now beginning to bite.

What is wrong with the comment,ac?

I thought that people were free to express their opinions.

Quoting Crusoe with reference to Carson C, Cadogan “That must have been a real good batch of Extra Old!”

No, no, not Extra Old. Extra Old is real real good rum and does not cause hallucinations.

CCC must have had some no name cheap white rum.
