Ministers Donville Inniss and Chris Sinckler, two of the party’s most flamboyant

DLP exactly what is going on? At this now 12th hour and you are still giving your supporters headaches? One agitator  of ant status, recently wrote an article ”DLP in a Gifting Mood” inquiring where have all the stalwarts gone. Everybody now, finds it hard to believe from what we are hearing, reading and seeing,  that you are in control. Could there really be more chaos in the offering ? An old claim maybe to stake? …a subtle change?

Let us analyze and see  exactly how it looks from outside. First, there seems to be no planned communication or cohesion on matters of national importance. Have you ever heard of public relations and the handling of contentious matters? It is scary enough to have found one’s hand in a lion’s mouth but to further infuriate the situation through bad press?…. Just not tenable. Take for example the land swap for dump contention, why to-date no one really believes the minister’s offering, coming some three weeks afterwards, as to what really went down. Why the tardy response? First it was kicked about in the Senate, yet nothing of substance to follow. Staunch DLP signature of late.

Isn’t GIS supposed to have an understanding of the management of public information and should have on employ, individuals trained in minimizing damage to image. What is with this  9.9 acres of picnic front for 19.9 acres of St. James dump anyway? What could this really be all about? Most messy business to say the least. Smelly too as stated by one blogger, being a stone’s throw away from Mt. Stinkeroo.

Then there is this  ‘funny business’ collaboration last Sunday. A mandarin “meeting of minds” by two of the party’s most flamboyant, in a seemingly obsequious tenet. What else can one say, given the party’s chaotic history, leaving much to speculation and more to be desired.

All in all you are being observed DLP, surely that  you are aware, and more slips from here on, could be a one way excursion trip to Bellepaine. Anymore stumbles at this time will throw away any precious little left in the cup. This you don’t want for sure. These things we know you  also know, but given the past, we too unsure.

    This case of the land swap should be a simple one. Did the government agree to a swap or not? So far the ‘evidence’ exposed says that it is/was on the table.

    Did Bynow start to ‘mine’ metal from the Bagatelle location? If they did it was contrary to instructions given by government or was it?

    Did the Bynoe’s invest in equipment before the all clear was given by government?

    Our media should be able to distil this matter for the public in the same way it has been trying to do CLICO.

    This a matter which should be clear cut. We need to know. The BLP allowed Bynoe to operate in violation of T&P. Are we saying the DLP has done same?

    This is what Arthur stated at one of your BLP meetings recently, the one Symmonds waves his leaked cabinet paper. The government (BLP) wanted to be fair to Paul Bynoe and give him time to find another location. Were you asleep at the meeting?

    Yes, the point was the previous government allowed B’s to operate in violation of T&P so why would this government allow them to do same?

    Under the present circumstances , I do not see how the Democratic Labour Party can survive the next election. Quite frankly I do not see an elections before next year . As close to January as possible will be the call. As close to Errrol Barrow day I surmise. I have reached the conclusion based on the way the leader of the party operates. He said words to the effect that he does not lose any sleep, he does not read reports, he does not follow Commissions of Enquiries, even the ones that he is responsible for setting up. The man has demonstrated that he will take his time in making decisions. Not that he does not make decisions but he does so in his own time. We shall see what we shall see.

    “Not nitpicking, it shows that there is history to the Bynoes ‘dealing’ with successive governments. It is very material.”

    It only goes to show the lengths the party in power would go to secure campaign contributions. The Bynoes are known to be very generous contributors to the party most likely to advance their business interests. A tactic well copied from a former employer and business associate of the merchant brother.

    Can we have, David, a similar exposé about the role of Bannister in the project financing dealings of both BLP and DLP, especially in the light of the DLP’s strident criticism of the same man’s association with alleged crooks associated with the BLP?

    “Minister Lowe failed to do the job.”

    This is an understatement of tragic proportions

    The government hasn’t yet understood that the swing against them has nothing to do with a preference for the BLP, but a distaste with the mistakes, blunders and incoherence. Once they focus their strengths in the right place, they should stand a chance albeit small.

    Lowe must go. He has become consistent in his folly. He is now toxic.

    Irene is the best lmao. She called in and totally exposed the political nature of the Tomas issue then accused a previous caller of wanting to politicised the matter. At one point I swear she was going to beat David Ellis. Notice how both she and Benn, though not MPs, had lists and were called by the RDC to supply names?

    The word is that Irene lagging bad behind in St.Andrew and Benn going back to Mannings. Both seemed to have had a vision…’the morn Affa’….so they snatched up some figures and came in on Brass Tacks.Irene needs some PR touching up though, I was really appalled. Rebutting the host as she did on national radio was most unfortunate .For a moment there,I thought I was in Oistins…. we all need to be re-acquainted with the word is finesse..

    “Irene needs some PR touching up though, I was really appalled. Rebutting the host as she did on national radio was most unfortunate ”

    A most shocking revelation of the true character of this siren called irene and total betrayal to the meaning of her given name. A most uncouth reaction to David who was bending over backward to accommodate the DLP and offer excuses for their incompetence.

    David even indulged a DLP hack and haranguer when he (the operative) said that the Williams Green energy project was as a direct result of the proposals announced in the recent set of budgetary “green energy” proposals that have not yet been enacted. Government has been on this course of alternative energy solutions for some time now; not just from July 2012.
    Does any one know when this government is going to implement its own set of green initiatives by covering its buildings with solar panels like Williams and establish a policy whereby all future vehicles acquired by government must be of a fuel-hybrid configuration?

    I heard the exchange between Sandiford-Garner and Ellis; however, what concerned me more was her revealing intimate information about the two ladies she boasted about helping. Really, would it have been better for her to have said that she assisted those persons, rather than give certain details such as “almost $20,000 was paid in rent by the government on their behalf”, the landlady wanted them out of the house, and publicising the information the brother gave her relative to his personal situation. In my opinion, what Sandiford-Garner did was a disgrace.

    These are the lengths politicians in Barbados go in order to garner votes. And we ask why poor people do not like to ask for help. Because a person is poor does not mean he has no dignity, and many are scared to ask for help because they are fearful that their personal business is broadcasted on a call-in-program or on a political platform.

    Yet she was the one accusing others of politicising the issue while name dropping, in receipt of a list of names and upset because the Nation reporter refused to interview her about the White Hill matter though directed by the Minister of Housing to do so.
    As for Benn, he was contradicting what Sinckler said not an hour before.

    The criticism levelled at Irene is not one of a political barb but merely an assessment of her personal skills set. Mr. Ellis is not a politician nor was he being critical of the DLP’s position. On the contrary, he was trying to be as accommodating as possible. Irene came over as a rude, petulant and arroignorant person . But instead of listening to what David was trying to do- that is get her to put to the listeners her understanding of the challenge in order to inform and educate the public- she started to attack the moderator for doing his job by employing the ad hominem red herring across the trail of the discussion. She sought to go the route of the victimization syndrome with the reliable: ‘Why are you attacking me (Irene). I know your kind and your agenda to destabilize my government and “blacken” the image of my party’.

    In the past Irene received kudos for her confidence, boldness and intellectual maturity for her occasional incursion on this blog to raise the DLP banner and to fire clandestinely a few volleys at the opposition, especially Onions.
    This time around she has let down the side and appears to have severed all ties with the Fourth Estate- official or underground. She should take a leaf out of the ‘classy’ book of a fellow female politician called MIA (Mature, Intelligent, Amiable).
