Opposition Leader Owen Arthur (foreground) and Deuty Dale Marshall (background)

As a realist it is clear to me that in order to WIN the next general election the internal BLP drama between Owen Arthur and Mia Motley must be resolved.

Each day the drama continues diminishes the party’s ability to effectively focus on regaining government from the hands of the DLP. As a BLP supporter it is time for BLP leadership and Owen Arthur to take the “GLOVES OFF” and give Barbados publicly the “REAL” reasons why MM should not and cannot lead the BLP party or Barbados … being a question of “LEADERSHIP and MORALITY” not “GENDER” as many would have you believe.

This approach against “our own” is unfortunate and will initially surely cause some heightened political pain for the BLP.  OA is the only one in Barbados with the political clout and weaponry to withstand the MM
counter attack which is sure to come.

There is a fear of reprisal component to going up against MM and her cronies that many are not prepared to risk especially in a tough economy where jobs are important.  This “cultivated” fear component which is a part of the MM political mode of operations, is in itself a factor in the reason why MM should not lead the BLP party or Barbados, NO matter how brilliant she is.

I understand the historic effort of seeking to become the first female PM in Barbados, however we expect our elected officials to put the people of Barbados “FIRST” before personal glory seeking first.

I like many welcome the day that a “woman” will lead our great nation as PM, unfortunately MM is not that woman.

  1. once again david politicians switch sides for their own ends. ask hammie la. mascoll was pushed. spin it as much as you like;the evidence is there for independent commentators to analyse. i repeat his decision to join the dlp was ill-timed, ill-advised and foolish and detrimental upto now only to himself.now, at least he had the guts to leave the party and not subject himself to the humiliation which mr kellman especially suffered at the hands of an institution he claims to love and to a lesser extent mr estwick. iyou have a better name than lapdogism then reveal it.


  2. @balance

    If Mascoll was strategic he would have discern that it was not his time.

    He will pay a heavy price for that misjudgement.


  3. it is good to know that mr george hutson has awakened from his slumber. i thought he was living abroad.unfortunately just another square peg in a round hole fostered on the public by an anachronistic political process.


  4. he has paid it valready david because of the brutality of the dlp party machine but at least unbiased history would portray him as a man who did not stand for shit. he was right to leave the dlp but politically incorrect to join the blp.it was an error of judgment and he is suffering for it but most great men suffered.


  5. @balance

    It will be interesting to see how he retrieves what little political ambition he has, a shame really.


  6. it was an error of judgment and he Mascoll suffering for it but most great men suffered.
    …………
    You postulating Clyde Mascoll is a great man Lord come for your world. balance you are unbalanced or Malick with Teeth.


  7. @ George Brathwaite

    I don’t know who are the DLPites with their heads buried in the marl, but I maintain the Minister ent mek no sense with these statements:

    “If people within the industry project the industry negatively, then it is going to impact on the vision or thought of the persons outside of Barbados.”

    ““When people make comments like those it reflects negatively on the industry and the same objectives they are trying to achieve, assuming the criticism is intended in a constructive way, can actually work to be negative because everything that you see in the printed press is on the Internet,”


  8. George Hutson will go down in history as one of the worse ministers the DLP ever foisted on this country. Maxine McClean is running a close second. The man just looks wrong when you look at him and he inspires no confidence in what he says.

    How could a CEO of a statutory body come out and criticise his boss like that if he was not totally frustrated. GH’s response was piss poor. When the PM did his so called cabinet reshuffle, GH should have been fired.

    On his handling of the Redjet matter, GH’s hands were tied because he compromised himself by allowing the CEO to wine and dine him, staying at the CEO’s mansion in Ireland and driving around the CEO’s expensive vehicle. So when the CEO began to scream about the delays and the run around he was getting, it was that GH was not delivering what he promised and did not seem to understand the term “quid pro quo”.

    And you tell me that the people of Barbados will put up with this DLP for another five years! I dont believe it.

    @Enuff
    Based on your last response, it is now clear that we are on the same page. The ‘subject’ in English can become tricky when we use pronouns. Nevertheless, GH is a dismal failure in his ministry; I know nothing of the man, so I keep my arguments to the portfolio for which he has responsibility, but his inactions have led to the very criticisms he would rather not hear.


  10. prodigal son if mr thompson from all accounts was considered a great barbadian; then mr mascoll is equally entitled to be called a great barbadian. i challenge you to put their credentials to the test with respect to meaningful contributions in their lifetime to the progress of barbados. i respectfully submit that however slight mr mascoll would have contributed more. so malik might very well get teet .


  11. BIBA has provided some poor advice to the Barbados Government over the years, sometimes at great embarrassment to the Government. Keep in mind that BIBA is controlled by representatives of those who seek benefits for their operations and investment from the Government and that the best interest of Barbados is not their primary concern.


  12. Ask some of the former Directors of International Business, under both BLP and DLP, for their thoughts on BIBA.

    “BIBA has provided some poor advice to the Barbados Government over the years, sometimes at great embarrassment to the Government.”
    “Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive!”
    If this is the case, “Georgie Porgie likes porkie pies”, why has the government continued to support this incompetent parasitic organization through an annual subvention at taxpayers’ expense? Or is it a case of one bunch of idiots teaching another so there is no light to shine? Pass the money please for our next cocktail (eat up & drink up) function to which your invited as our learned guest speaker!

    Just wondering… Are you referring to MJ’s doctor?

    Come to think of it he was an AMA approved drug pusher to the well- heeled but carrying a personal debt burden of Greek proportions and a Hispanic taste in women. MJ wanted to go to entertain the gods but was waiting on a Judas of Asclepius to sell his soul for greenbacks by providing the elixir and paraphernalia needed for the astral flight to paradise.

    @ balance, please answer the one that George the dragon put to you!
    You are making us miss out on lots of laughs on Georgie!


  18. one for george’ your comment made contribution via the development of clico’ if you mean by mr thompson as the corporate lawyer of clico and who was their mouthpiece expostulating on the soundness of the company when the shenanigan was exposed and who signed off on a ten million payout for clico when the letter i received from the judicial managers yesterday does not give me much hope of getting back my 30.000 dollars for which i was paying clico for over 20 years then how would i ever forget mr thompson’s contribution to the public of barbados via clico especially with mr parris still living high off the hog.
