Hi Ac, islandgal, negro, Mashup, BAF, Scout, Charlie, Carson C,my dawlinks ROK, my honey-comb Amused and to my wordy-opponents from de ‘udda-side’.

AS for Mia being expelled. Thats o.k. guess OSA was glad to see dat happen beause that give him another reason to dethroned MIA. But you know what . Nobody holding that against MIA, Nothing wrong for standing up for what you believe. At least she not thiefing like OSA who put the campaign contribution in hisw personnel account and act like it was alright to do so .To think he is still a member of parliament . Now compare OSA being a thief to MIA standing up for what she believe . No comparison! Leave de gal alone.

“Bajans Against The Return Of Owen Arthur”

Please check; the majority of those on that site are persons in their twenties or thirties ….with university education. Is there a message there somewhere?

Why did Owen Arthur not do the tribute to Auntie Olga himself but Dale Marshall did it? Is it because She was born in Guyana while Mara – who he said is not “acceptable” and an “affront” was born in St. Lucia?

@BONNY PEPPA

CA OU CA FAIT MA FILLE? WUH LOSS…Girl chile WELCOME BACK! YOU DOAN KNOW HOW WE DID MISS YUH. A BIG HUG TO YUH AND ANNUDA ONE. now de peppa sauce gine start burning wee.

@GW
Iam certain that Mia is and was aware of Parliamentarian procedure . However apparently she was being ignored several times for a request to speak and move whch she took resulted in her being expelled.That being the risk she took knowing the immediate result. Hiwever she was standing up in principlefor what she believes and was being ignored for whatever reason

@ac

Members of parliament have used such a strategy to force national attention on an issue. It is the equivalent of what the Americans call philabustering.

This is all “poor-rakey” silly talk about another set of foolishness manufactured to get Owen out of the way. FOOLISHNESS!

If you all want to talk about Committee of Privileges, Check to see when they are going to do something about Dr.Debt pulling a gun in parliament and brandishing in the face of another member. A fine example to young people in Barbados, that! You notice the amount of GUN-PLAY ‘BOUT HERE SINCE THAT ALLEGED INCIDENT?

Are we happy to tossing political ‘Molotov’ cocktails now? The whole world is crumbling before our eyes yet we continue to drown in a pool of partisan political nonsense? Why do we boast of of being educated if we can’t deduce some basics?

On another blog Anthony asked what BU meant by questioning the former administration’s approach at a time of economic boom. We claim to be developed yet our GDP is totally dependent on export of services e.g. tourism, International Business etc. Would it not have made sense in the boom time to build out an alternative energy sector which would reduce dependence of fossil energy, creating new jobs and reducing foreign exchange in the process? Would it not have made sense to aggressively facilitate an entrepreneurial, we are not talking about retailers and wholesalers in the distributive sector i.e. buying and selling we are talking about leverage our pool of so-called educated talent. Then again our educational system has been designed to cater to the traditional system, so we have a problem. Our lawyers and accountants who cost taxpayers so much are feeding off the system. How about the cultural industry? Isn’t this something we can developed? Why continue to milk a model which is not conducive to our sustainable development?

Yet we continue to yak about BLP DLP as if politicians are the be all and end all. Come on people, its time to DO.

“If we make our citizens comfortable and happy then when you come here our citizens can gleefully help you to enjoy Barbados. Government intends to continue and deepen that process of of looking after the enjoyment of our citizens”.

I will have you know that the DEMS do not only hold dub fetes. They host some very nice parties at Ilaro court every now and then.

@ The Scout “The DLP instead of showing the bajan voters what they can do for them, they are spending much time finding fault with the BLP,”

None of the DLP bloggers are DLP Ministers. Other than the occasional blog by Hartley H, we DLP supporters are not actively involved in the running of the DLP or Barbados.

The BLP instead of showing the bajan voters what they will do for them, are spending too much time finding fault with the each other and widening the chasm in the party created by Owing and co.ltd.

@ David
If the NCF and the CBC both government agencies, over the years have been unable to form any significant partnerships aimed at producing and showcasing Barbadian cultural products, does this not suggest that said cultural industry has been deemed unprofitable by the powers that be?

The Scout wrote “This juvenile talk about Owen Arthur and Mia”.

You do realise that ousting a Leader of a political party is not child’s play so don’t come with the crap about girlfen boyfren.

Ousting Mia has created a division in the party which I hope will be “fixed” so you can continue to provide the people of Barbados with a strong vibrant Opposition party.

Yet from 2003-2007 ( 2001 -2002 for sep 11 fallout) there where many big project that needed to be done. We had won the bid to host cricket world cup and need to improve the infrastructure, the coast guard and courts need news homes. the prison burnt down. Fiscal responsibility also argue that you can not add too much debt at the same time. I guess if there was no cricket world cup you argument would be sound but its not. the country had other obligations to it people.

Now for the debt finance issue. Now there two things that drive interest rates the prime rate and your credit score. As Prime rates are near at time lows this was an excellent point to refinance some of the old debt that was gotten when interest rates where much higher. You don’t refinance during high interest rate period unless you credit score so high that your guaranteed prime. So it always make sense to refinance in recession once the rate make it very attractive.

I remember we had this discussion already where what could be done to improve the economy, it wasn’t really commented on and had very few suggestions think it was what maybe two or three us bouncing ideas off maybe david you should have made the stay at the top. We questioned why should you bring back up the infamous cheque when the issue was bound it and you said it was still relative. the talk of the debt, transfer , the excess of government expenditure is still relative since nothing being done about it.

The example you cite isn’t it yet another example of our political ignorance and immaturity? We bandied about the benefits to be had by signing the EPA especially as it would have encouraged opportunities for the culture industry and what? Minister Chris Sinckler was very vocal on this subject, now what?

The diversification that is required will not come about with the current generation of leaders in the public and private sectors.
There has to be a change in the mindset and this will have to start in the education system. Until that system is geared towards developing and nurturing creativity and ingenuity, we will always be singing the “we must diversify” tune.
There is little that Barbados can produce that others places cannot produce in greater quantities and more economically.
The focus has to be on developing and promoting a “Genuine Bajan” brand.

Ousting Mia was bad for the BLP and has split the party down the centre, however, they are not behaving like the DLP did when David & Co ousted Mascoll. The now P.M Stuart is alleged to have said DT was like poison to the party and David Estwick was on the airwaves lambasting David Thompson, then there was Denis Kellman who had his own private war with David over leadership, so what was bad for one party is just as bad for the other. A new party with new thinking is needed, both parties need to wheel and come again.

Mashup & Eyespy
Wunna-all got me blushin n whet all ova wid dem swoite sentiments. But I will be away from BU in a few weeks time for an indefinite period as I am having surgery on one of my eyes. Don’t kno how long I will be away so until then, I’ll be here ‘carryin-on’ as newsual. LOL

Tanks fa dem hugs n wahevva else ya got fa ma. Lawdddddddddd.

David
Get real. Freundel Stuart made some derogatory, nasty comments about David Thompson when he ousted Mascoll, they were not make to Hartley Henry, he called the name of the person to whom the comments were directed. Similarly David Estwick went on the VOB call-in programme a lambasted David Thompson and even said he would not serve under himas party leader. Everyone knows about the clashes with David Thompson and Denis Kellman whwn it was only those two in opposition and David gave up the leadership of the party and appointed Mascoll to take over instead of Kellman. Now you are trying to deny this happened? David I’m disappointed in you, have you been bought too?
