Neither party is innocent when it comes to taking bread out of people’s mouth for political reasons. I have had reason to deal with Reudon Eversley when he was at the Advocate and I found that he performed his duties professionally. If he has become harsh and bitter, what do you expect: he has good reason. No worker should be made to go through what he did because of his perceived political persuasion. If he were a traitor like some of those who benefitted under Arthur’s politics of inclusion, he would not have been forced out of the country in order to live. Do you expect him to like the villain who tried to destroy him.

I would like you to call a spade – a spade. Similarly, I would like to see Carson acknowledge that his party also took bread out of people’s mouths because of their perceived political preference. Also, he should be an advocate within his party for persons who suffered as he did.

Owen put down nuff talk in Queens Park Sunday. I hope he can handle the spanner Sir Roy pelt in he spokes tonight.

You dont know anything that is going on.

All you do is sit at home in your retirement and dream up stories which you write here on BU.

You are just an old man with a lot of time on his hands. Hence the foolishness which you write.

The Mascoll story shows why you cannot beleive one word coming from the mouth of Owen Arthur. He was telling Bajans waht a nuisance Mascoll was and all the BLP “yardfowls” were following Arthur’s lead cursing the same Mascoll while their leader Arthur was behind the scenes begging, hoping and brib***g Mascoll to cross to the BLP.
The same Arthur was also tring to get Dr. David Estwick, Dennis Kellman and Donville Inniss to join the BLP.
So while the BLP yardfowls are running around talking badtalking the DLP , Owen Arthur realises that the talent pool in the DLP is far superior to the wishy washy collection of recycled misfits that the BLP is offering to the good people of Barbados.
The choice is clear VOTE DLP – Forward ever,Backward never.

To all the BLP supporters out there working hard for the party, Owen Arthur cares about Owen Arthur and not a damn about you.
While you were out raising money for the party, bottling the night dew at meetings, running round behind candidates , Clyde Mascoll was cussing you – saying that Mia Mottley was a failure as education minister, that Anthony Wood was a failure (and he was right about Wood) ,Mascoll was basically fightig against everything that you stood for and belived in.
Arthur rewards Mascoll because he saw his own personal political interest being satisfied. He does not give a damn about anyone else.

Your reward – Mascoll gets a big fat payday, high visibility in your party, talk of co-leader and a big award,not because Mascoll likes the BLP(which he does not- he likes himself).
So BLP supporters, this is your lesson- you working hard for Arthur and Arthur working for himself and his pocket.
Mascoll laughing at all the BLP supporters who doing the groundwork while he reaping the sweets.

A Correction to a previous post by a well known BLP yardfowl has been correctly edited and posted below:

You dont know what you are talking about. The BLP is famous for eating its own.
After the last election, Owen Arthur submitted his resignation as Opposition leader and got on a plane going around the Caribbean giving speeches for money. Mia Mottley took over, and started to position and cement herself as party leader . DT , the PM became terminally ill and Arthur wanted to come back when he felt it was time to reclaim his throne.In between, he had called the whole of Barbados to a press conference and said that Mottley was not fit for national leadership. Some backstabbers went behind Mottley’s back with a signed letter in hand to the GG. The meeting was held at Prior Park in her absence. All the while Athur kept in the background letting George Pain,Dale Marshall and the “incoming chairman” Jerome Walcott do the dirty work. Mottley was removed as Payne declared on national radio that “they had lost confidence in her”. Arthur reclaimed his throne. I will spare you the gory details of Cynthia crying from Roebuck Street to St Thomas and of Mottley and her supporters cussing Arthur worse than a pirate in Roebuck Street. Dont tell me I dont know of what I speak, I live here!

@Caswell

Your position reconciles with ours, the so called gang of five requested Arthur to return and he accepted.

“When all the crap was happening, I spoke to a certain well-connected BLP person and he told me they would have a problem with me because David Thompson is my friend. Imagine that? In fact, he even went as far as to tell me that I was on the phone in my office talking to David Thompson two days before, which was true. Talking to David Thompson was obviously a sin in the BLP’s books. Now, the person could have only found out this information from two sources: either the BLP had someone in the Advocate’s newsroom who was spying on me and reporting back to them or they had my telephone bugged.”

Which Police officer was accused of bugging phones?

Vote for the BLP and get round two of this.

Classic Barbados Labour Party nasty strategy, go after people that they dont like.

MAKE SURE THAT THEY CANT FIND WORK ANYWHERE.

Barbados Labour Party. A BUNCH OF GANGSTERS.

All the talk about the Media not doing their jobs properly under the Crooked Barbados Labour Party administration.

THE MEDIA WAS BULLIED AND HARASSED into submission by THE BARBADOS LABOUR PARTY GOONS led by their chief goon.

That is why they were afraid to report that Barbados received THREE DOWNGRADES by S&P during GOOD TIMES! Under the corrupt Barbados Labour Party.

There is much more to come if corrupt Barbados Labour Party is foolishly returned to power.

Nothing like that has happed under the Democratic Labour Party in almost five years in Government.

………and it will never happen.

Ask any Editor of any newspaper in Barbados.

Wait Carsun…you still attacking King Arthur?….Man go and read Hal Austin article do….time you do like ac and ABORT…. water rising FAST….lol

@ CCC and George Pilgrim

Owen Arthur realises that the talent pool in the DLP is far superior to the wishy washy collection of recycled misfits that the BLP is offering to the good people of Barbados.
The choice is clear VOTE DLP – Forward ever,Backward never…………………………………………………..

Too bad the talent was not manifested during the last five years. That so called talent has got us in a right mess with our credit rating at junk bond status.

Barbados was going forward and in 4 and a half short years, the DLP has taken it back to 1991. The DLP took Barbados back with its inept leadership. With the people’s help, they will again repose confidence in the BLP as they know that when the Bees are in office, they have money in their pockets, even Dems are saying so!

Are you blaming CCC for someone else’s nasty behaviour. He has every reason to be afraid of Arthur and Mottley’s return. He is a qualified Barbadian who had to look for holes because others decided that the freedom of association that is guaranteed by the Constitution does not apply to him. He has every reason to be afraid that the same thing would happen again if the Government changes; that is only reasonable.

However, I will repeat that the same thing occurs under both administrations. When I was employed at NUPW, the General Secretary came to me and said that he just had a call from Sinckler who told him to do something about me and claim that I was at a meeting at UDC cursing. I was about to lose my job until two workers who were at the meeting and the chairman told Clarke that the report was a lie. Mind you, the Minister’ problem with me had nothing to do with politics: I was relentless in my representation of the workers at UDC who were being dismissed because they were thought to be BLP supporters. That was my offence which by the way also offended Clarke and Mamoney.

You see why there are good people in barbadian society don.t want the RT HON again to govern this country . You Seee. this guy is evil.

ac,

Know your place. The Dems are no saints. Even Sandi tried to block Owen Arthur from getting a job. In 2008/9, the dead king tried to block Jerome Walcott from getting a consultancy with Caricom and was ready to haul the then Ambassador over the coals. So vicious the dead king was until the Ambassador told him that it was not a Caricom position but was PAHO funded.

You are the one who comes on this blog and talk nonsense everyday and even when you are corrected with FACTS you still go on. Get off my back, I am not onions that will spar with you!

Desperate Dem!

The late Bree St John had a name for those dems whom he considered strong catholic like in their belief that that motley group is heaven sent.He called them ‘stinking dems’ and he said it with such venom,you were left in no doubt that he so believed them to be.Based on the nonsense I see above supposedly critical of OSA they seem alive and well on the blogs.

The politics of character assassination should have been buried up in St John on November 6 or 7 or whenever in 2010. But it is alive and well on BU in 2012 being practiced by the very Dems who were schooled and obtained PHD’s in the politics of character assassination and political blood sport right out of George Street.

DLP politics have gotten so stink that even Laron Gibbs and Wesley from St Thomas, arch Dems have said that they are sitting this election out.

ac,
Leave out Owen. Please go and visit Mr Lowe. It seems as if he is sick again. Wish him well for me. The fire David has been putting under him as well as Kerry seems to have gotten him sick again.

Well Prof. Michael Howard have exposed the folly of Owen Arthur by bluntly exposing Owen’s 15 point plan as pure GIMMICKY.

The best definition of Owen’s Economic Plan thus far.

Already the BES president, Ryan Starughn called it a MESS.

Sir Roy called it an ENEMY OF LABOUR.

Therefore, we have descriptions such as a MESS, ENEMY OF LABOUR and GIMMICKY about the economic plan of the great Owen Arthur – who Onions and Miller champion – as the GREAT ECONOMIC SAVIOUR that Barbados needs in 2013 .

Well if Owen Arthur should ever win in 2013 ….we (in Barbados) would be in a worse position than those citizens experiences in the post Hurricane Sandy impact on the Eastern Seaboard of the USA.

It is no wonder Clyde Mascoll has not publicly endorsed Owen Athur’s 15 point plan !

@ what a mystery
What is it that leads you to think that Owen needs to come up with a viable plan to be elected? was David Thompson’s plan back in 2008 viable?
OBVIOUSLY NOT.

The politicians realize that Bajans are idiots who only want a promise to hold on to. Anything that promises continued sweet life will attract our attention and support.
What make what sense what?!?,

Any and every idiot can see that the whole world is in a complete and worsening mess, but instead of getting together and contriving a NATIONAL plan for survival in the face of SURE calamity, we have complete morons, Bs versus Ds, promising that, if elected, they will make things BETTER for Bajans…..of all people.

….for Bajans,!!! …. who are the laziest and most spoilt people in the whole world. Spoilt by 50 years of freeness.
Stupseeee
Wunna don’t try and look to plant some food and store some water….

BUSH TEA
“Give Bajans more credit for their intelligence”
*********
OK, as soon as Bushie can push his head back into the sand….

The Dems are real hypocrites. You have Sinkliar, CCC and the rest of the bloggers from George Street on this blog telling public workers that a new BLP government will send home 10,000 of them.

Who would believe that this bunch of wild boys are still appointing people to the public sector even though this government have not been paying salaries on time, some have not been paid for three to six months.

Well, a big ruckus will blow up in a few days at the Immigration Department. Immigration officers are waiting on the government. NINETEEN new people are to take up jobs which have not been advertised. Immigration officers with degrees were not even made aware of the jobs. Coincidentally, seven are from St Michael South.

So peoples, do you see how this government is operating, flood the public sector with workers whom they know they cannot afford to pay and then if the BLP have to do anything, they will say, see, the BLP lay off public workers. The DLP is an evil party.

I have been made aware of this sinister move to appoint 19 new immigration officers without advertising the post as is required by the Public Service Act. Unfortunately, if immigration officers sit back and wait until the appointments are made to act, they will be acting against their own interest. Once the appointments are made they can’t be undone unless the appointment resulted from the fraudulent act of the appointee. For example where a person claimed that he has certain qualifications and it was found to be untrue. Knowing the immigration officers, they will grumble among themselves and everything will settle down.

IF THEY WANT ACTION IN THEIR INTEREST JOIN UNITY!!!
