I do hope that the crooked Barbados Labour Party dont forget to mention their role in the CLICO fiasco.

They are very very fond of speaking half-truths. They also need to speak about the sizeable contribution they received from CLICO in 2003.

I will be up front and center.

Bear with me, but this is a reprint from another thread:-

“Browne was then asked to explain a sizeable political contribution made to “the Barbados Labour Party’s campaign in 2003 for which he said he was acting on a directive from head office.

“Directions may not have been in writing but we had directions, so we did in fact make political contributions out of cash, out of profit, not any inter-company transactions,” he said.””

enuff & millertheanunnaki(May2012)

What say you?

I hope the crooked Barbados Labour Party mention all of this tonight, I will be there if life is spared.

This “show & Half-Tell” tonight is going to be more fun than Bud & Lou and Laurel & Hardy all roll into one!!!!!!!!

One wonders how “sizeable” this contribution was. I am sure it was larger than $75,000.00!!!!!

The Barbados Labour Party has no shame at all.

One thjing for sure about the BLP liefest on Sunday evening, the BLP’S public relations firm commonly known as the Nation newspaper will be have extensive coverage.
Pat Hoyos and Albert Branford are campaigning every Sunday with biased crap which is a disgrace to objective and informative journalism.
The Nation’s standards continue to fall and fall and fall!
We need responsible reporting on this CLICO matter not the Sh**e which is thrown at us by political cronies like Branford, Hoyos , Sanka Price and Mascoll.
Let us hear from respectable persons about the corporate governane at the company and the role of the supervisor of insurance,etc.
Mascoll’s role is to play politics – hence he is trying to diminish the importance of the Supervisor of Insurance because it would show that both he and Owen Arthur (1994 – 2008) were asleep at the wheel while this CLICO situation was ongoing.
Sanka Price uses his “eff I wuz”, Question Time and Puddin and Souse articles on Saturday for straight all out attacks on the government.Sanka Price lambasted the government about its health care changes without acknowledging that the Barbados Government has been able to reduce government spending on drugs without compromising care which is something Barack Obama and the republicans in the USA are still fighting about.
How can Patrick Hoyos still be employed at VOB as a “moderator” after his vicious one sided articles- the man has made his political preference clear and his family connections to the BLP are well known. But then again who owns VOB again – oh sorry- the Nation newspaper.
Who was the head of the Senate under the BLP- Oh sorry, the past chairman of the Nation- you see the dots connecting folks!
A word to the wise if you read the Nation, take the articles with a grain of salt . Remember the Nation’s role is not to give you the facts but to give you the BLP spin !

Arthur the tactician.

Arthur announces that Mia Mottley will respond to the budget and not him.

Brilliant!

Owen Arthur is a joker- He had the audacity to say that in 2006 the Supervisor of Insurance told Parris not to sell the EFPA policies and Parris said to hell with that.
Ladies and gentlemen – can anyone tell me who the supervisor of Insurance reported to in 2006?
Answer – Owen Arthur, Minister Of Finance in 2006-
Mr. Arthur thinks that the CLICO policy holders stupid or what. Arthur must take blame for what is happening at CLICO.
He as a Minister Of Finance should have stepped in and Arthur did nothing.
Heaven help us if we stupid “enuff” to vote for that incompetent joker again?

@david 10:22
agreed. Kill four birds with one stone.

Power and the lust for political power knows no boundaries.

Mia is not good enough to be leader of the opposition but she is suddenly going to reply to the most critical budget in the history of Barbados.

Mia is a Lawyer and Owen is an ECONOMIST.

Explain how this is brilliant David or do Bajans not deserve the best Economist in Barbados to reply to the budget.

@Hants

It is brilliant because it addresses the perception of a rift in the party between Mia and the party.

Hants-Explain how this is brilliant David or do Bajans not deserve the best Economist in Barbados to reply to the budget.

my exact question Hants.
Is this a cynical game Owen playing on Bajans.
On CLICO this runway debacle ran the majority of its course under Owen and the BLP. The Dems reaping the whirlwind sowed by the BLP.
As a nuetral there is a portion of blame on Thompson for not distancing himself from igrunt Parris.

Despite that Parris and CLICO’s infelicities all occurred under the watch of the BLP. Bajans not as stupid as Owen and johnny come lately Muscle Mary think.

Fine cool night, great turnout at the meeting. Parking lot st the former Julie’N full, most other parking in the area full, good quality sound system. Started about on time. Finished a mite after 11. Efficienly chaired (maybe the male Chairman could have said a littel lesss) Great speakers, short and sweet.

Perfect election weather. Wish that the PM would call an election.

Perhaps the story which will emerge in the coming days is the role of Mara Thompson.

Whether she speaks now (doubt it) or on the election platform, what she has to say will be listened to very carefully.

Interesting that Kerrie was the penultimate speaker.

His presentation got more stars than Dale.

Interesting indeed.

How come we never discussed Sinckler buying a car from Parris on BU?

Maybe it passed in the wash.

This big difference with the DLP BLP connection to CLICO is the sense that the relationship is incestuous as far as DLP Parris goes and this is how perceptions are formed by the public.

It is brilliant because it addresses the perception of a rift in the party between Mia and the party.

You have got to be joking David.

If Mia can forgive the abuse from Owen and the 5, call the Pope. saint Mia is with us?

@Hants

You are reading this all wrong.

A political relationship is not like a personal husband and wife relationship.

Mia the political animal that she is has surveyed her options on the eve of a general election.

Owen has maneuvered her into a position at the moment that she has to toe the line.

The final piece of the puzzle is to strategize to get the public see a united BLP front.

The BLP will be a united party going into the next elction/

While you are coping with the political action in Barbados take time to monitor what is happening in the rest of the world.

BLP, DLP, or PIMP there is a whole lot that is going to affect Barbados.

On the matter of perception- Bajans are not stupid. George Payne said that the BLP members of Parliament “have lost confidence in Mia Mottley” as he spoke when she was replaced as opposition leader.
You are not good enough to lead the opposition but you will be put forward in that role to reply to a budget. The gullible will swallow that but intelligent educated Bajans will realise that this perception is meant to portray something that does not really exist – UNITY.
Mottley does not want to feel like “an ordinary member” and Arthur needs Mottley. The BLP cannot win without Mia Mottley. We all know how Arthur, Payne , Marshall feel about Mottley – total disgust but they will pretend to get her on board.
Bajans are not buying it and neither is Mottley because she cannot wait for an opportunity to get back at Payne , Marshall and that phony Mascoll.

David wrote “The final piece of the puzzle is to strategize to get the public see a united BLP front.

maybe you are right.

Someone once wrote ” the masses are asses” and it wasn’t me.

Is this the best that the corrupt Barbados Labour Party has to offer?

millertheanunnaki

You didnt miss a thing by not being there.

And the answer to your question is no.

The government will have to deal with the media and talk shows for the next 2-3 days about what transpired at Haggatt Hall.

This is not good for the DLP.

It seems the “queen” has all the info on a lotta people who might have received funds thru a money laundering firm. nuh wonda intagrity legislasion teking suh lung, and mighton see the light auh day.

Outlook you said “.The UDC was giviing away $10million under the BLP with no idea if it would be repaid. ”
As we all know, the people who actually received funding were hairdressers, barbers, and the lower classes of society who were trying to become entrepreneurs. However, what about the $10 million given to Clico Mortgage. Did it assist that company or was it really assigned to an individual and I am asking you will we the taxpayers be repaid for such a foolish act?

Well said, Hants. The myopes can’t see the bigger picture. A war involving Israel, USA and Iran would spell the death of tourism and FDI. It would also involve Britain, parts of Western Europe, Russia and possibly China.

This is not the early1940’s when agriculture was still the mainstay of the economy. There would be real suffering in the land.
