Onions & Honesty is the Best Policy

I truly do not know or understand what is going on. I do not know if it is a mistake or if the Governor-General signed the proclamation and it was pulled back because influential people exerted pressure on Government. What I can tell you is that neither political party, even though the word “labour” forms part of their names, cannot really be considered labour parties since labour issues and the welfare of workers are not their priorities.

I am not just blowing hot air, I can demonstrate what I am saying by citing examples:

In 1990 I was a member of a committee that was making recommendations for an occupational pensions benefit act. That act was finally passes in 2003 but was only brought into force in February 2011;

The Health and Safety at Work Act was passed in 2005, to date it is not in force and we are hearing promises from the Minister of Labour to bring it into force in the new year;

The Employment Rights Act was being drafted for more than ten years; and

The Public Service Act also took in excess of ten years to be brought into force in an extremely flawed state. Government made amendments in 2010 but they only made matters worse.

I can therefore say without fear of sensible contradiction that BLP or DLP pays only lip-service to the workers issues. That is also true for the major trade unions all of which have aligned themselves to political parties to the detriment of workers.

@ Caswell
Any suggestions as to what can be done to address this situation (apart of course from bushie’s proposal which involves YOU leading the establishment of a cooperative party called BUP)?

You are correct about the micro management, but wrong about the training / orientation solving anything.
Man Casie, these people have HIDDEN agendas. It is not that they are idiots. You could orientate them for weeks, they will still take bribes, favor family and yard fowls and definitely favor their financiers.

This is why we need a super supervisory committee to audit them and prosecute the SOBs.

“he would have fitted Kellman with a muzzle by now.”

who makes a muzzle that big? just asking.

@ Caswie
I hope you get a chance to pose your question tonight at the Nation’s Forum…or maybe at The UWI lecture …..you may have to ask one question here …leave and go ask another question somewhere else…goodness gracious..

What about the Advocate? Or is the owner right at the head table already influencing and financing a particular political party until it loses the government and is unable to deliver the much promised TV licence. He could consider buying CBC If the DLP wins again since it will be up for sale win lose or draw.

I agree wing sock hung dong chitty chitty bang bang..

Harry, you are just one wicked motherfu**er. A true blue Bajan redneck. But what you are saying and showing is true and for that I respect you. The vehicles are just too much for this 2×3 place. Only making Japanese and Koreans along with Kiffyn and Trinis rich.
Don’t worry ‘Bacra Johnny’, the IMF and the IADB will soon cut them down to size.
You know very well that blacks grin, skin their teeth and shuffle their feet at whites because they worship you guys as gods and angels like Jesus and others in the Bible.

What I would like you, Redlegs, to do is to highlight the garbage piling up, overgrown places and detritus on the pothole and crumbling roads in order to shame the authorities into doing something about it.

Agree with you. Operating BU for the last six yeas has rammed home your point several times over.

The point that I am trying to make is that Barbadians surrender their rights much too easily. Further, I have been following politics since the early 1970s and never before in all these years have I seen Government act with such utter disregard for the laws and conventions. This group is really a lawless bunch and no one is even trying to rein them in. One of these days if we are not careful, we will wake to find that the Government has suspended the Constitution and rule as they like. The time might soon be here: you see how close the country is coming to a constitutional crisis if the election date is not announced shortly.

Why I thought we had already started….

Like you want to dry up the source of JWK for a DLP.fowler ….that would be a good thing….. maybe now a ole sea dogoer would be able to get more PURCHASED DUTY FREE….lol …GIVE HIM UP CASWIE…blow D horn…PRAMPPPPPP !! Lets grill the louse…who he is ?

Page 1 of BarbadosToday showed 2 school children who they claimed were sent home for being improperly dressed.

I do not see anything wrong with the way the children are dressed.

Is it possible that they photographed the wrong students?

Give me a break: I am new to this thing. I was messing around with the iPad and next thing you know, I am reblogging. AC made the first comment and I appreciate it even though she was wrong, and now you an of course I am looking forward for Bushie.

We need somebody to start a Bajan shiiite talk blog.

BU is nuff politics and Intellectual combat.

BAFBFP why you dont start one.

Bushie
