Look, people think that MPs are saints but they are really normal people from society with emotions like anybody else. What Duguid did was wrong not only in parliament but in any public place but he did what very few people do and apologize for it. We got to be real though. If most bajan men were in Duguid’s place, they would’ve blinded Inniss with cuss words if it was true that Inniss provoked him by insulted his family. Inniss may not have cursed but he still need criticizing for provoking Duguid.

In case no one recognized, “cyar yuh mudda scunt” could not have been struck from the record because it was never on it. Duguid was seated while he said it and therefore it was not recognised or recorded by the house.

I have been to parliament several times, the first time i went was during the budget debate and this sort of behavior is in fact a norm and it is deplorable. Duguid had to pay the price because he, in the heat of the moment, did not remember to put down his microphone as ALL the other parliamentarians do when they want to blister each other. I have heard all sorts of comments being made about Mia Mottley, Cynthia Forde, Owen Arthur among others and I have also heard comments made about Dennis Kellman, Freundel Staurt and Chris Sinkler (admittedly on a less frequent basis)

But to be totally honest, the amount of nasty comments made about Mia Mottley disturb me greatly because of all the comments I have heard, these are always personal, nasty, low and UNPROVOKED. What she may or may not do in her bedroom is her business and has no place in the house of assembly, especially when standing up to make a contribution (never mind the comments dropped during cross-talk). These personal attacks come at every sitting of the house by the majority of members on the government side and this really disgusts me because it shows lack of maturity and tolerance.

If one is called out, I must call all. Duguid paid the price, even though he was provoked, for their nasty behaviour by being caught on the microphone. It is unfortunate that all the offenders are not caught on microphone.

Dr. Duigid has completely lost it. In his apology he claims he was provoked.

PROVOCATION is only a defence for murder .

I did not realise that Dr. Duigid is charged for murder…..unless at this stage he is confused about the meaning and use of the word MUDDAH !

And to think that Dale Marshall an Attorney at Law allows Dr. Duigid to make such a silly claim.

@Fractured BLP

Your last post was deleted, you know why.

Here is some free advice for Minister Inniss,if he does not step up this matter will dog him on the campaign trail. He was fingered in Duguid’s press conference and many Barbadians are watching his response. You may add that Inniss’ verbals don’t fit the image which PM Stuart wants to emit to the public.

Bear in mind Inniss is one of the few ministers who gets a passing grade from Bajans on both sides.

INNISS does not get any passing grade from me.
In a failing DLP Government, it would make no sense voting for Donville Inniss. We voting BEES and Donville Inniss and the DLP must be voted out of Parliament.
They have failed to reduce the COST OF LIVING as promised.
They have raised taxes on everything from Bicycles to Water
They have wasted money on such things as the AX commission; the Hamilton Lashley CROSSOVER at CBC/Parkinson School and the Football Tournament which goes on at the same time as another tournament, to name a few things.
Freundel Stuart was and continues to sleep, dream and fantasize about bubbies and sore nipples and it is said that one of his Ministers has accumulated over 17 million dollars in an overseas account in four years. This needs to be investigated to see if it is really true.–I dont believe it however. Dont see how it could happen.

The reason Duguid took nearly 5 days to issue his poor excuse of an apology is because the BLP had to meet with Red Advertising and strategise as to how they will deal with the political fallout. It was decided that they will try to portray it as provocation.
Even though Duguid get up and start to attack the other man first, he trying to justify his nasty ,vile comments over the radio.
The BLP really lost its moral compass when a simple straightforward apology has to take 5 days and then still then trying to blame someone else.

David why are you constantly attacking Inniss giving Duguid “yuh mudda c**t” a free pass? If you got shot to death because you called someone fat should the courts set the killer free and blame you. Your argument through this whole sordid epidode is idiotic. It makes one think there is more in the mortar than the pestle between you, “yuh mudda cu*t “Duguid and the BLp. Duguid broke the rules of Parliamentary conduct like no one ever did in our modern history. He is correctly being pilloried for it. End of story. Stewps.

@ Islandgal
ALL IS FORGIVEN!
…girl, no matter how much you cuss the bushman, it is abundantly clear that you is a woman with SENSE.

YOU ARE SO RIGHT! The whole place is swarming with shoite. Fire the shoite B’s and end up with a house full of shoite D’s. Fire the shoite D’s …..and we back with O$A, ‘wuk 4 wuk’, plantation Lynch and girl power Mia.

YOU HAVE HIT ON THE SOLUTION, but it is not only debates needed, they can rehearse and practice with expert PR help and appear to be intelligent in such debates.
What we need is that politicians DEMONSTRATE their capabilities PRIOR to offering themselves, by serving in some area of national life such as sports, social, PTA, church, youth business or other organizations.
Then we should judge them on how they performed at that level BEFORE trusting them with national leadership.

Ask GP, If they can prove themselves faithful in small things, THEN we can trust them with the big things….

…..see why Bushie want you now…? ( 🙂 – in the Senate!!!)

I will bet anyone a tidy sum, that if Albert Brandford writes anything about Duguid’s disgraceful behaviour in Parliament this week, he will talk about other Parliamentarians and try to justify or excuse Duguid’s side.
Brandford does not have the courage to call a spade a spade.
So look out for the BLP spindoctors who control the Nation Newspaper columns on Sunday to sing a chorus of excuses and “provocation” when the simple headline should be “William Duguid- absentee representative and national disgrace”.

Albert Brandford – so called “independent” writer is nothing more that a BLP operative masquerading as a journalist.
Even when the BLP threw out Mia Mottley as opposition leader without any prior warning , you know Brandford spent three quarters of his article that week criticing the DLP .

He could not bring himself to criticise the BLP.The Nation newspaper will give you ” fair” commentary on political matters by giving two full page articles every Sunday to Mr. Brandford and Mr, Wickham who is no fan of the current PM.
The Nation will also then give the BLP “spokesman” Mascoll a big article every week just in case you did not get the BLP point of view from Ezra Alleyne , Peter Symmonds or Pat Hoyos.

Honestly, does that sound like a fair and balanced newspaper or one that is clearly pushing a particular party’s agenda.

BLP wild boys.

You quoting Wiki … as if that is an authority … Look man Cunt is a female rabbit hear … Like you trying to be a scunt now … HA HA HA

It’s amazing to me how hypocritical Barbadian society. Clearly a lo of individuls in the country are only focusing on the now. Those who are saying to move on and not to be distracted by the Duguid outburst do not have this country’s future a t heart. I m neither B or D but I am a P that is a parent. I certainly cannot vote for a party who would stun behind someone who behaves like this in our House of Parliament. Clearly, if Mr. Duguid had heeded the Speaker’s warnings this situation old not have occurred. I am totally ashamed of Cynthia Forde ; some one who I had a lot of respect for as she was clearly encouraging him. I wish politicians and their yard fowls would realize that elections and the running of our country is not like a football or basketball game. We need truly respectable and honorable people to run this country. Do you think a bunch of unruly disrespectful individuals can keep this economy running in the future. These are the kinds of individuals we will have in this nation if those in positions f respect,power and authority do not set the right examples. We already have an opposition leader who can behave quit unseemly an this kind of low class behavior in parliament began with him. Why do politians go for the jugular, clearly it is not because they re so excited to represent the downtrodden. I clearly believe it is because thy can’t wait to line their pockets with bribes and taxpayer’s money. I pray for Barbados because only God almighty cn deliver us.

BLP David,

Your political bias is tainting you “perceived” objectivity on this issue.

Go take a vacation in Canada with Dr. Duguid !

I”ll get Donville Inniss to buy your plane ticket.

All a wunna DLP fools that compare Duguid being provoked to a case of being provoked to murder really need a good dose of reality salts. Every single one of wunna, except those with some serious restraint, would cuss out anybody that insult their family. Duguid did what any bajan man does, the difference was that he was in parliament and the microphone captured it.

Once again Dupoorly has done the public of Barbados a great disservice, what he delivered yesterday And in what was sold by the BLP as an apology was nothing more of an excuse to the decent people of Barbados as to why he felt he should use the floor of Parliament mind you the highest court of the to curse an Honourable Member Of Parliament.

This mealy mouth parasite who is living off the hard working tax payers by drawing a salary under the false pretenses of representing the people ought to have the guts ( and guts he has plentifully ) to have made a sincere apology minus the clutter an apology is what was required not an excuse for his gutter, slimy mouthing.

Hi david,

Can you confirm the report that Owen Arthur jumped in the Careenage this morning and had to be rescued by the Coast Guard ?

If true….these are strange behaviours exhibited by the BLP MPs..

Wow I can’t believe the comments on here trying to justify Duguid’s behavior. I grew up with a mother who does cuss people real stink and nasty if they get her vex. People looked down their noses t at her for years for this kind of behavior and I for one was very embarrassed by it; now you’re telling me this behavior is acceptable. A lot of what we encourage today will come back and bite I in the ass tomorrow. I am neither b or d but I just want to say that the blip in its 15 years in power created a bunch of lazy ass materialistic bananas who want everything free. All bajans wan to do nowadays is buy clothes an party. People lim things hard but at every cat fight. We need to grow up an recognise b or d can’t love the problem. We need th resilience of the past. People stop making excuses for Mr. Duguid’s behavior. Recognizing that he is wrong does not mean people will vote dlp. Just call a spade a spade. The young people are watching and listening. This is not about party and people who can’t recognise that are immature. Really and truly I think he should ave gotten arrested, if a poor man did walk in parliament and say so, everyone would want to see him arrested.

Wat I want to know is who continues to call these classless, disrespectful clowns honorable this and honorable that. For decades the previous dead or dying polititians disrespected the people of b’dos and was given some dumb title for their years of disrespect, thing is they had the slickness, like inniss to not be caught on microphone, we knew the disrespect existed. The difference now with so much technology available to us we can expose it to the world. Hope this changes their crass behavior. AND inniss needs to apologize to the people of bim for his crass behavior.

why no apology from Duguid’s party leader?

@ NationBLPnewspaper | November 26, 2012 at 10:19 PM |

So why do you continue incessantly to read filth? Why not give the Nation newspaper a total pass and stick to the Advocate.
Isn’t your case similar to that of the Pope reading and watching pornographic literature and movies while at the same time condemning such activities in his sermons to the masses?
