Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes – Oscar Wilde
Without a doubt, one must admit, Barbados has seen its share of problems during these last four and a half years. Bajans though accustomed, have had it up to here with all these mistakes.
By now, everyone would have felt that seeing this administration is nearing the end of term, surely by now, they should be getting things right. WRONG….Blunder after blunder as of if playing school boy tonk with a village bully, Bajans seem to be getting the shitty end of the stick….not those who are making these mistakes. Take for instance the latest, The Waterman Inquiry…genius at work or another blunder bomber? $598,000 at first draw-down, weeks after we were informed in an unforgiving misery Budget, to cut and contrive.
Why how could this be? Why was there not the King’s Report which from all indicators, travelled the same route, and more likely than not, destined to produce a same conclusion about the school? How do we explain the extravagance, when we have told destitute storm victims of Tomas, who are still without a roof over their heads, to hold strain? Why is it some new game? The re-hiring of a dismissed doctor to that of secretary to the Inquiry only to have a lissom share in the divide? No one even bothered to cover up the extent of the consanguineous fandango.
We all knew when this current crop were elected, that the majority were but “green horns”, giving the benefit of doubt, we had the latent belief that steering the SSS Babadoes with $2.8 Billion laden in her coffers, that nothing could possibly go wrong. WRONG AGAIN, somehow as if by pay-back for our rakish choice, Murphy Law unexpectedly greeted everything imaginable.
Shares in the BL&P, some of our most valued silver was sold off to a Canadian Emera at give-away prices. Within their first quarter after embellishing its own portfolio with our genteel takings, they recorded high profits and published the fanciful as “unexpected”. Unexpected my bot bot…more like a killing..Blunder-ours Bajan silver gone the way of Hants, to stock up on spider-wire test for the next killing.
Blunder-rama, bambotous mistakes coming one after the other. It is as if we fancied by Cydoimus, destined to wreck in the end. Down Graded to Junk Bond status, yet being told ignore, onward but not upward..Eris the chart bearer…we heading around the bend. Look Moody coming….Oh Shoot!….pray not again.
