@ac

Are you changing your original position that perception weighs heavily? If so how convenient.

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!

Black people are capable of driving more than twenty year old vehicles.

Ask Seethru.

Just remember that Adrian Loveridge and the other HONORARY WHITES on this thread!

BLACK PEOPLE CAN HAVE A LITTLE DIGNITY TOO.

LOL
The REAL scam with these ML vehicles is not even the scandalous waste of limited FOREX to buy expensive luxury vehicles to deliver bits of paper between government offices (when everyone else in the world uses networking, emails and faxes)
…if you want some fun David, investigate what happens to the USED vehicles when they ‘decide’ that these vehicles need to be replaced.
…who gets to acquire them, and at what price….
…perhaps then you may be able to grasp why the ‘strange’ choices of vehicles are made in the first place….

Can’t even blame the politicians, cause ALL of them are caught up in it… It is really a well oiled Public Service Scam…
No place like ’bout here….

@Bush Tea

It is a scam in the private sector too just a little more transparent.

Just don’t understand why we have to be political on these kinds of issues when it exposes the things we have to change.

Cardboard
Don’t be a Johnny …what has color to do with taking up $455,000 of the taxpayers money (forex) that your Dr. Alleyne (a black man or not) beg we the tax payers to HOLD STRAIN…..and RICE just so fire off that sum to Europe?You know how many people that could feed ? .. that is C.

Every day your level of intellect seems to be diminishing to new lows…man if David would allow me I would call you a…….wid no reservations.

Correction: The government would have purchased DUTY FREE therefore the price would be considerably less compared tor normal retail. To quote 455,000 is like the DLP people quoting 750,0000 and not 75,000.

“The government would have purchased DUTY FREE”

I was wondering when you were going to point that out to your clown friends.

When is Seethru going to sell his AUDI SUV and donate the proceeds to the poor?

Dont you think that he should be leading by example, no matter where the money came from?

onions

I dont understand you.
You made mock sport of the central Bank Governor for driving a suzuki car.
With you it would seem like damn if you do and damn if you dont.

onions

Or do you like criticizing for criticizing sake? then again you are a Barbados Labour Party member we cant expect anything different.

o.k. David
FACT or PERCEPTION ! PRoof necessary! JOY RIDE almost punishable by laughter BTW i am speaking about the One vehicle highlighted in the article anyhow i see you have mentioned vehicles now are you saying that many such luxury vehicles are purchased by the govt for the use of BTA in joyriding and how many such luxury vehicles are they can you reveal!

@CCC,

Just as I am pissed off that the average John Citizen does not yet know or have access to the financial report for Kensington, is the same
way I want a fully explained and accounted for approach to the acclaimed new hospital.

I dont care which administration is doing it.

@old Union Bags

That you are a “man of letters” is made obvious by the timbre of your submissions. That you are a man of some intellect and reasoning is further evidenced by the rationale of your responses. And that you are a man of couth is seen in the way you manage and reply to the vitriolic submissions that are leveled, not at your reasoning, but at your submissions.

“Cannon to the right of them, cannon to the left of them…” is a line from a poem that you assuredly know.

26 to 4.

That is not the number of cannons during that famed sortie, nor the current time, nor does it refer to the number of seats that the DLP will loose by – no that is 28 – 2) It refers learned gentleman to the number of of competent persons in the successive administrations that this country has been assaulted with for the last 25 years.

Whether it has been DLP or a BLP administration, four persons are challenged to run the ministries of Barbados, the entire economy, under constant fire from the various Permanent Secretaries with their own agendas (almost said allegiances) and the teeming mass of public servants (with its own ratios of those who are committed to building Barbados and those who are just along for the ride).

I respectfully submit, learned sir, that our woes have nothing to do with whether this is a DLP or BLP administration.

Across the great divide what we have been seeing and continue to see an incompetency and impunity has nothing to do with the color of your T-shirt around election time, but rather with this 26 to 4 syndrome.

We, the electorate, are brought 4 men/women of worth, and 26 others who, if you were to put their brains in a blackbird it would fly backwards. And they, after the general election wok up music is over, and we get to see the lovely ** that 6.30 brings, we cry foul when, as endemic within this 26-4 configuration, persons like this BTA employee, under cover of the laxness of Statutory Boards, can benefit from the infinite largest of government’s coffers.

But i put it to you sir that “the fault is not in our stars, but in ourselves..” for how can we expect anything else to obtain when every five years, after we the electorate run the gauntlet down Broad Street, catching royal hell to pay our bills, fired on by this “enemy of the people” in the lofty parliament Buildings, ably assisted by their friendly forces in the Treasury Building on the right, we the electorate, fodder of the nation (the newspaper one too) send another batch of these mercenaries back into the fray.

We like dumb sheep vote for the Ministers of Sidewalks, the SundayMorning Love crooners, Minister LeffmyWifeLeftmyDaughter and let us not forget MinisterLeffmySon and then stand up at Eagle Hall fish market, the monstrosity built under the BLP, where not a vendor can be found, crying “why we”

You send men into these parliamentary halls, some of whom vacillate across the floor and as long as they for their pension, they leave. “I en cay bout wunna, brek fun wunna self”

Rice’s actions are “rigor mortis” a stiffening and relaxation at the time of death of the BLP/DLP animal that plagues us for five years.

Both of them are guilty of it, being the animal you and I elect.

In leaving i will cite you this one luminary action in defense of Rice, one that will underscore what rigor mortis causes great to do and I will then ask you two questions.

It is purported that no less a person than *** turned up at the ** on the night of the general election and asked to enter their office. FBPF Officer *** denied that request on the orders of ***.

What job will RBPF Officer need to find during the next 15 years when ** will be in power?

Will *** who confirmed the do not permit to enter order have ease in securing their gratuity when it comes due?

Bushie
Ya trickster….ya ole dawg! 24-6……nah boy more Jusk Asking OBE GC ..cuz each day more the ignorance shows.

correction David. as far as i know, John WAS the dealer for Audi. MQI is the unofficial dealer in Barbados for Audi. i was informed mouths ago that they (MQI) are just waiting to “hand over the keys” to the new dealer whoever that is.

the big heads in T&T made the call to dump Audi and go with BMW, hence the showroom changes and no sign of Audi.

so as i understand it you could for the time being special order an Audi from MQI. if that is the case, it would make this story a little more interesting.

@de rock ”26 others who, if you were to put their brains in a blackbird it would fly backwards”

Lol. That was ona dem that rises from off the pitch, just short of the bastman, a fired by Marshall or Walsh.

You Sir, are entertaining!

“@de rock ”26 others who, if you were to put their brains in a blackbird it would fly backwards””

Love it ! Sweet fa days! Imagery par excellence!
It’s like trying to spot from a mile off a P.I.G pig living under the wing of a flea called a nimble.

MONDAY MORNING …..Bring and early RICEY…..D wrecka coming for that ride…..Orders from above…..so and get ya last drive QUICK !

I have some work for you BLP jokers including the Blog owner.

In stead of wasting time taliking about who is the driving ML634, try finding out who is the silent partner in Jose y Jose, adventurer Land tours and the apartment complex at the bottom of Rendezvous Hill.

@CCC
The apartment complex at the bottom of Rendezvous Hill is just ONE of those buildings. What about the others all over Rendezvous Gardens? 🙂

@ Hants

So what’s your point? I am still driving my 15 year old Suzuki Swift 998cc and still getting from point “a” to point “b” comfortably and safely all over this little piece of real estate called Bim! 🙂 And, furthermore, If I use $40 a week to do all my driving around that’s a lot!

Look Doan mind Carson
I hear he own two cows out on Murphy pasture……but the woman dat getting D milk ……don’t give he none…So Carson you ent the only body that own sometime and odder peoples duz milk…lol

And to think that this government took up our 43 MILLION DOLLARS of our NIS money to give to the BTA to run it because the government does not have money, and this is how the BTA has spent our NIS monies?? At a time when the BTA cannot pay its creditors……making Barbados’ face shame overseas, they cannot even afford to buy any promotion items but could buy an AUDI. This is ridiculous!

No one is saying that heads of statutory boards should not have a vehicle if it is their contract but my goodness, have a heart in these times, hold on to the vehicle for a while longer.

I see the DPP has a new Mercedes and there was nothing wrong with the BMW he was driving before. Waste there as well. I knew of a former DLP candidate who got a job when this government came in and he has a $110,000 truck as an office car, he said he always wanted a truck and could not afford one as he was scrunting and he demanded what he wanted when he got the job. You think these Dems sweet?

@ old onion bags | July 15, 2012 at 6:42 AM |

I ask again why would David Rice need to be in a $445,0000 vehicle in these hard times when The Hon Freundel Stuart is advocating wage restraints,no relief in the Budget for the poor,and no money for spurring the economy on ESPECIALLY at an election time. IT JUST DOES NOT MAKE SENSE…..
Why tourism is not performing………………………..

onions,

Did you not hear that Mr Rice was to be cut just for the reason that tourism is not performing and it reason given was that he wanted to be with his wife and baby?
The DLP hacks made a song and dance when Owen’s vehicle was posted on BU even though it is Owen’s money but they have all kinds of excuses for this blatant wast of our NIS funds.
