We had late PM Thompson inviting Arthur et al to meetings to discuss matters of state, it was rightly or wrongly politicized. Again we have the call from Arthur to establish a bipartisan committee of parliament, no doubt this will go nowhere fast as well.

We currently have a conversation in the US about whether they need a parliamentary system that, in their opinion, will fast track implementation of decisions. In Barbados it seems like we may not be fully leveraging our parliamentary system of government.

Since my job took me out of town and on the road last Thursday evening and I never made it home until Friday evening,for the first time I got the chance to listen to the reply to the reply. There are those who claim that the C B C should be called D L P tv. Chris Sinckler’s reply should be shown every night in prime time for one week as a public service.If nothing else it tells the nation a tale of a tormented soul in repentant mode,the full effects of the coup d’etat that gifted him the lead,bringing to bear upon his weary frame the burden evil actions always bring.I challenge any of those who supported his take over to say here with clear conscience that he belongs at the forefront of that party.We saw Mia Mottley and we saw a confused flustered cowardly looking spent force,reduced from a raging pit to a pitiful pup. Time ,they say is longer than twine.Owen and his gang for sure now know this. They also tell us to beware of Greeks bearing gifts, Minister Sinckler’s question is this.What about prophets seeking profit? For the good of Bim lets all band together,disband that gang and work to protect the public purse.

barbadians have bevcome too politically institutionalised to embrace any other system than the twe prty one which currently exists.the system promotes paramountcy of the party thank GOD not carrying in its wake the violent fallout which was part of the GUYANA experience under burbham. PARLIAMENTARIANS should be selected from the bowels of their constituencies and go to PARLIAMENT to represent the intersts of their constituents. managing the affairs of the country would be left to the TECHNOCRATS ( as they do now) in the various MINISTRIES/DEPARTMENTS answerable to select oversight committees of PARLIAMENT suitably advised. A PRIMUS INTERPARES COULD BE SELECTED from among the PARLIAMENTARIANS on a rota basis to perform ceremonial functions.the post of GOVERNORGENEARAL could be abolished and save taxpayers some unnecessary expenditure.we did not always have functioning political parties in barbados exercising governance. developmental processes evolve according to the circumstances and the advent of poltical parties exercising governance was one such instance where it served its purpose. however, the system has outlived its usefulness and while there might be more who share my view, they will be some who will say if we get rid of the parliamentary governance as it now stands- what we gun do-

For those interested George has asked that his recent submission be withdrawn.

Balance,

Whosoever you are, you are on very shaky and unbalanced moral intellectual political ground when in attempting to direct a few snide comments to the PDC, you managed to convey to a few uncritical readers of those comments some very comprehensively false impressions that the PDC are COMMUNIST, and/or that the PDC believe in COMMUNISM.

But, what egregiously false assumptions!!

Indeed, as a people centered nationalist party we strongly deplore and deprecate such wicked assumptions, as coming from a person who has sought to engage us ONLY on the basis of seeking to spread such irrationalisms about our party – the PDC.

We hereby put it to you these particular untruthful characterizations – which you could never support with the necessary evidence – were primarily for the purpose of inviting a response from our party.

Now, for you to say such though shows how ill-informed and uneducated you are, in the real sense of the term, when you impliedly accuse us of being COMMUNIST, or of being believers in COMMUNISM.

Too, from the above non-sensical inexactitudes, it is clear that you do NOT know much about us, and that what you are writing about us as if you are some new kid on the block largely derives from a position of a lack of knowledge and understanding about our party’s philosophical objectives.

Too, we will NOT put it beyond you, that your ill-directed comments have largely emerged from your being caught up in the peddling by a few Barbadians of pure, erroneous hearsay about us.

Furthermore, given what we have long been enunciating on BU and elsewhere, it is patently clear that either you have NOT been reading our information on BU or elsewhere, properly sufficient to know that we do NOT conform with your false ideas of what COMMUNISM is, or you have NOT been reading generally enough to know WHO or WHAT a COMMUNIST is.

So, therefore, it shows how malacious or reckless you are when you INSINUATE that we are COMMUNIST, or that we are believers of COMMUNISM, WITHOUT properly outlining or suggesting what you know about these things.

Too, it is clear that you do not have anything politically corrupt and venal and inappropriate to say about us so you childishly raise the COMMUNIST bogeyman for the distraction of a few on here.

Moreover, we have seen the communist bogeyman used – esp. unwarrantedly undeservedly – against some otherwise well-intentioned political people in Barbados, and to their electoral political detriment.

And believe it, we not going to stand idly by and allow you or any body else in Barbados to paint us incorrectly with the COMMUNIST brush to our electoral political detriment, when the facts are such that we are NOT COMMUNIST; when the truth is that we are NOT believers in COMMUNISM; and when the reality is that there are no COMMUNIST parties existing in Barbados.

Now THAT was cruel……LOL

Note emergency powers imposed in a few locations in T&T to respond to the crime wave.

We now live in interesting times.

It is amazing the impotence being shown by politicians to the glaring indicators which show that a different type of crime has taken root in Barbados. We hear the lament of Cameron in the UK, the surrender of Jamaica to garrison communities, now T&T.

Do we think that Barbados is immune? Barbadians need to make ‘taking back our communities’ a big deal. The recent Chadderton walk is a good start. The fight back must begin with the people.

There was an article in the local press yesterday which shed some light on the cash for gold as an example. A point to note is that the legit cash for gold business’ are the ones listed. The problem comes with those which are underground.
