Its is very interesting to see the paucity of comments on this topic. Especially where concerned policyholders who presumably have a lot to lose, have apparently gone almost totally quiet in the midst of far reaching news coming out this week. Its almost as if someone is working obeah on the barbadian people. Or is it that people are resigned to the inevitable and cannot be bothered to comment.

Bajan will get sweet stool wiped into their faces and smile while others go to the bank smiling with U,S $5miliion cheques.

According to Rihanna, high-class Bajans hail each other with the hypocorism “c*nt”

Rihanna whatever her present financial success is NOT a high class Bajan, never was, NEVER will be.

And this is the TRUTH.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to buy class.

Quoting Carson C. Cadogan | October 9, 2011 at 10:57 PM | Was this a secret function where the Nation sneaked in and grab a few photos?…This photo shows DLP, Parris, BLP. May I ask if something is wrong here?”

Dear Carosn C. Cadogan can you please explain to us what is a secret function?

Can you tell us whether Cabinet Ministers who get paid from the public trough are always on duty or not?

Can you tell us if newspapers have a duty to ask questions, take pictures and in all other ways represent the public interest?

Tek ya time answering.

Where there is easy money to be had (no creative thought, no risk, no hard work) you will always find lawyers, accountants and management consultants buzzing around like vultures.
The BIPA has been silenced and the management and consultancy fees are flowing like embalming fluids from the clico cadaver to these buzzards (aka in local parlance as “cubbas”)
Again a question is being asked: Have all the appropriate income taxes been paid to Inland Revenue in respect of all the bonuses and consultancy fees paid from the clico feeding trough?
This is one area where LP and co can be legally nailed and exposed to further public ridicule. Time to recover what is legally due to the Treasury. But again, these people have friends in high places, in both camps too.
Any investigation along these lines might reveal things of a very dirty and embarrassing nature. This nasty trail might lead to many who now pretend to be “above board” including the pols and ex-bankers.
But as the saying goes: “Only bout here!”

Zoe forgive me. But allow me please to use your lord’s name!

Oh Lord! Please send down the IMF! Please, Father Above, save this place below from its self!
Barbados has been known as a well managed relatively orderly and law abiding country with well- educated blacks in charge of the reins of government. The Law meant something where governance is concerned.
Is this still the case “bout hey”?
