@Old Bailey the Wailey

You can’t make this stuff up!

No she is not a trainee some might recall she was the Nation reporter who ‘overheard’ the conversation between Hartley Henry and Caroline Martindale.

miller don’t take a leaf out of my book cause my book got a lot of asses in it not to mention yours who is the head on the list, look go on eating your crow sandwiches.. must be feel good on an empty stomach of garbage which you everyday delights in gobbling up by the nation. this time the govt got the nation by the balls after their failed attempt to discredit FS with that rag amuffin Town Hall meetimg and a coordination of having that political weasel the RT hon set stuart up with a so called theatrical response of him not attending the ‘ town hall meeting ” they come up with a story that was fed to them by a little twirp. another reason any body of class and character should not VOTE for the BLP. classic case of deceit and defamation ,

“On the front page of the Sunday Sun they reported the Mia Mottley was the BLP’s campaign manager in 2008, when in fact it was Dame Billie Miller.”

the same Dame Billie Miller who is now on the EBC. lets see if Hants and company will go wild with that info.

As a boy Sunday School was a must for me.Then somewhere along the line I became lost,weary and wild I questioned the veracity of my spiritual moorings.This day gives me hope.Why?I do not know.Yet I feel as though my faith is about to be restored.YES THERE’S A GOD.

Hal Gollop only shame that the public of Barbados knows now that he is screwing the taxpayers. What the hell he could do to earn 1.5m just so. He aint no hard lawyer. The staff were sworn to secrecy and some body got vex and leak the letter. You see now we need the elections. Was he going to share this with his friend?

Just asking??

$1.5 million for writing 2 or 3 fu**k-ass letters and filling in forms?
Doesn’t the BWA have it own in-house Corporate Secretary or CFO?
One wonders what the architect, engineers and politicians are get? Sounds as if the consumers will be getting a $25 million building for $ 50 million payout plus interest under the BOLT arrangement.
No wonder this country is in such a putrid state of decay especially its legal system.

So much for Hal’s high morality soap box which need to be kicked from under him. Raping the country at this time and paving the way for a sure bet devaluation and strict special economic measures imposed from without.

I gotta tell yah, but this thing about cussing the female participants on this blog ain’ righteous man … some body calling ac a DLP a## cleaner or something, it ain’ righteous man … Cuss the men all yah want but show li’l respect nah …. yah stupid bitches …!

@ David ..
It has been pointed out that the Nation has changed its online version of the story . It removed the paragraph which said that Gollop was the lawyer for Innotech. But would you believe that the Nation has got it WRONG AGAIN ? The letter WAS NOT written to Dr Brathwaite as the online story now says ; I heard Mr Gollop tell David Ellis that the letter was written to the Chairman of the Negotiation Committee ; it was only COPIED to Dr Brathwaite the Chairman of the BWA . Does this paper have editors ? By the time this Kaymar Jordan woman is through with the Nation they will end up totally broke .

“Gollop vents on radio” That’s the headline to the follow-up story in today’s Nation. And the tone of the article matches the headline. I think it’s a bit cocky, but it clearly shows that they know they are on solid legal ground, as I kept repeating in different ways yesterday.

The editorial puts it all in perspective.

The substance of the story is sound, and we the taxpayers and electors should be very concerned about what is happening at the Barbados Water Authority.

Minor factual slip ups will occur in journalism. I think the Nation has had more than its fair share of these. But nothing, except public safety, should trump the public’s right to know.

@laughable

Of course they made an error and it was corrected in the online version. The issue as DavidB has explained remains
relevant.

The substance of the story what evidencence do you have that the substance of the story is “sound” it would give a bit more credibilty to the natIon if they printed the letter under the banner the public right to know. it makes no sense at all for the nation to throw an article which intself can be libel and slander into the public arena like raw meat giving cause for innuendo and controversy a reputable paper having the law on it side would give a full and fair report including the letter

@DavidB

Have to agree with you and BU is not a fan of the Nation newspaper.

@ Inkwell | October 25, 2012 at 8:10 AM |

The Nation stole the letter the same way the FBI & CLICO reports were “stolen”.

How can Hal Gollop be so naïve and accuse that newspaper of stealing a so-called confidential letter? Did the Nation newspaper break into any of the offices of the recipients?

Look Hal, get real? One of your ‘trusted’ recipients or confidential associates leaked a copy of the letter to the BLP and the BLP gave a copy to the Nation for political mileage.

Why attack the messenger even if the letter is contained in an envelope with the name slightly misspelled but delivered to the right address?

If only anything was likely to come of these discussions………………

the Nation should really have to apologise to innotec tho. the article would make people believe that them did suing the government and claiming 50M when it ain’t so. um is clear that innotec still funding the construction even tho the financing for the project ain’t yet kick in from ansa capital markets bank.

@ Bdos Underground Talkshop | October 25, 2012 at 9:31 AM |

Pigs love mud that’s why you have joined in.

Where the Nation can take heat is the fact it’s editorial today is disingenuous by claiming freedom of the press. It has failed to pressure the issue of FOI.

@Miller

You have to learn to turn the other cheek.

@ David | October 25, 2012 at 9:52 AM |

I am no hypocritical ‘Christian’. I believe in the old Mosaic rule of “an eye for an eye and a tooth for tooth. (LOL!!!).

Where were the likes of Hal when the Nation printed untrue statements authored and repeated by Chris Sinckler and Donville Inniss that the BLP had secret meetings and agreed to lay off 10,000 public sector workers? Who stole the minutes of those meetings?

I bet you will never hear another word from Sinckler or Inniss on this topic on any platform or other public forum in the upcoming campaign

Hi you miller as usual try divertion to turn the attentiion from the true CULPRITS that being the NATION tell them to publish the LETTER a fair and clear cut resolution. No sense on sitting on potentially dangerous evidence however i suspect that the only deceit found would be in the NATION. TIME TO PUBLUISH THE LETTER lets see who are the real hypocrites

Has it been confirmed that the contents of the letter are those of HAL the letter is being subjected to correctiions so how can one clearly give a true assesment and conclusion of what is in the letter unless the matter is confirmed by all parties involved right now their is a lot of backtracking by the NATION which leaves one to suspect that there is tampering involved with the contents that is why i say PUBLISH THE LETTER no need for speculation

Hal Gollop is just sorry that the details came out.

He was a BLP supporter for years, as soon as the government changes, he changed too as he too believed that the DLP will be in power for 30 years like CCC and ac bragged about on BU.

So he like most opportunistic people jumped on the band wagon to share the fatted calf. At this rate, only the carcass must be remaining!

ac, the full letter was read out at Rices, too bad you were not there. It is regrettable that the writer of story mixed up whom Mr Gollop was representing but that does not take away from the fact that these people are raping the country…………………getting fatter whilst the rest of the people are suffering.

David, ac is the only person in Barbados that did not hear Gollop’s comments on both radio stations yesterday. you ain’t know? how else could she make those stupid comments.

Mr. gallop said many things pertaining to the letter or opinion and he clearly stated that by the Nation being not able to get the basics facts right everything else in the article is flawed which should leave one to believe that some of the contents of the letter might have been changed in the nations effort to do mischief. much of what i have said, mr galop never went into the detailing of the letter except to where he was misrepresented but from my understanding from his comments it is clear that there was evidence on the nation parts to misrepresent contents or the very substance of the letter
