BU has to agree with former Opposition leader Owen Arthur when he described the current parliament as poorakey. Never in the history of our parliamentary system have we assembled  such a motley crew of MPs. BU disagrees however that the poorakey label should not excuse former Prime Minister Arthur from taking his seat  in that august chamber.

As if to ram home the growing reputation of the current parliament William Duguid MP took it to a different level during today’s session. It seems he has an aversion to the fact Minister Donville Inniss has accumulated great personal wealth from the IBCs he use to – maybe he still does – manage which peddled ‘skin’.  We all know that Minister Inniss may not be managing his offshore portfolio but it doesn’t mean he hasn’t put an arrangement in place for others to have an eye while he is doing national duty.

William Duguid MP lost it during the debate today in what will be regarded forever as a dark day in our parliament. He directed an asinine remark at Minister Inniss. No doubt the remark will not be recorded in Hansard but those who were following the debate just after 2PM would now have a greater appreciation for their mothers.

It is satisfying that Duguid will be jetting off to Canada to settle permanently when his term expires. There is no place for his base behaviour in the highest Court in the land.

  1. @David/BU … Oh, I agree Duguid does need to apologies, but so does Inniss for his continued taunting insult, especially since he started it, and possibly many others in the house that day too. AS I said fair is fair, and regardless of which party I may support, I call a spade a spade and make no apologies about it.

    @Gabriel Tackle … Thanks and points taken … I am well aware of Abed being well ousted by (now) Senator De Peiza by the DLP’s High Command, furthermore we (in Ch. Ch. West) are well aware that it is Sen. De Peiza project on-going in Golf Club Road, which has drawn out to the point that we wonder if it was really a training ground for the MTW’s Novice Employees the length of time it has taken (not to mention helping the Employment Figures), yet we have been inconvenience no end – vehicles well shaken, not stirred – and now false starts this week to start the resurfacing … in any event it is a lame attempt to focus on a certain part of the constituency and we are also aware that said Abed lives at the east end of said road. i.e. gimmicks, but cannot erase the sleeping PM and the Eager 11.


  2. One day coming soon, a look at what is described by some as the largest democracy:


  3. David of BU,

    Since you so concerned…..why don’t you apologise for Dr Duigid ?

    Then your party can come out looking good.


  4. Hi David of BU,

    Thanks for your apology.

    Now you need to do so on the floor of Parliament next time it meets.


  5. Okay, Duguid has apologised publically and properly, however Inniss says nothing – no comment, when contacted by the media, even though we all know what he said, including his insult to the Duguid family … so who is the mature one here?

    Donville Inniss should ALSO apologise!


  6. @David Brooks
    Persons will still criticise him for taking sooooo long to do it. lol.
    Can’t please people, can’t shoot them.

    If Dobad had anything good inside him, he would never have reacted this way.

    But that is the nasty way of the Barbados Labour Party members. With them it is Garbage in and Garbage out. as simple as that

    Even on this blog they are always ready to curse everyone. So this is nothing new for them. And the truth upsets them no end.

    What apology, especially when it means nothing. Given half a chance he would do it again.

    This is how Baajans will remember William Duguid forever.

    A dentist with a dirty mouth.


  8. How come the Christian Council can deemed it fit to respond to a Parliamentarian verbal outburst and refused to speak publicly of another parliamentarian showing his gun in anger to another parliamentarian. It seems that talk stronger than weapons.

    After reading most of the comments on here, it is obvious that most of you have little intelligence. Why do I say this? Let me count the ways. Most of you are so politically stoned that you argue and argue this issue to death. I have read some of the most insane asinine comments ever. On one side the Dees among you have magnified Duguid’s outburst, taking no consideration for the provocation of Inniss’ nasty comments concerning the man’s family. None of you on here, if you had any decency or love for your family, would have sat and not comment on your family being publicly assassinated. But you try to blind side this and refer only to Inniss also calling Duguid “a fat slob”. How stupid and cowardly of all of you.

    Next thing, the Bees on here try to defend Duguid by reminding us about Estwick’s gun tirades as if what Duguid said was fades in comparison.

    It is clear that Barbados is on a serious decline. We have become the stupid of the Caribbean. We are no longer literate that is for sure. We have become the joke of the Caribbean, because of blogs such as these that offer the world a free look in to the insane minds of some of the citizens of Barbados. Shame on you all.

    When the world reads this post, I ask you not to judge us all based on the idiots in here. There are a few of us, still around that have healthy brain cells.

  13. David of BU,

    You have caused all this cross talk on this issue to continue. If you had honestly indicated the meaning of the words used ( fat slob / scunt) the passions of your contributions would not have become so inflamed.

    But all you are doing is to keep pointing your fingers at Donville Inniss.

    How come when Captain Sawyer sang ..”.I like them BIG , FAT and THICK ” you never called on Captain Sawyer to apologise ?

    Donville Inniss called Dr. Duigid a ” FAT SLOB ”
    A slob means a sloven person.

    What is the meaning of SCUNT ?

    Waiting on your answer David of BU ?


  14. @Guardian
    Yes and the decline started on January 15th 2008 and there is a maddening rush to stop the runaway train to get off but the conductor can’t find the whistle to blow off the driver who is known for going down to the wire even when the outcome is a foregone conclusion.The proctologists have given their views.The pollsters will now put a spin on it and pray the pope of buhbaydus approves.

    Interesting Coincidence – William Duguid And Persons Making Death Threats Used The Same IP Internet Number A Year Apart

    We’re Doing Some IP Research…

    Hi folks. As you will see when we post the article after this one, the death threats against Adrian Loveridge and others continue – so we are doing some research into the internet source of the death threats and look at the amazing coincidence that we found about IP Number 72.22.157.140…

    The IP number was originally used by Dr. Duguid of the BLP when he first set up the official BLP Blog and asked us and our readers for our opinions. That was back in May of 2006.

    Then over a year later in August of 2007, the folks who run BFPE blog who also made death threats against Adrian Loveridge and others used the same IP number as Dr. Duguid.


  16. The Innsis apology is not only about the fat slob comment. It is also about the alleged provocation where Inniss directed derogatory remarks at Duguid.

    To those who may accuse BU of focussing on Duguid, we have to, it is what the video conclusively portrays.


  17. Thanks David of BU…..your last comment has caused me relax (my anti – BLP comments) against you.

    Thanks for joining the ranks of the DEMS !

    You understand why Barbados need the DEMS in power….we choose our words carefully.


  18. The other comment made that Dr Duguid responded to was a comment questioning the paternity of the man’s children, now show me the man who wouldn’t respond in such colourful language.


  19. Good to hear Duguid apologize. We need to hear Inniss next now that Duguid has fingered him for provocation.

    Duguid is acting like a naughty school boy who is caught doing something wrong, “but please teacher It is not my fault John Brown trouble me”.

    It not his fault someone provoke him.

    Duguid seems to be getting older but not wiser. He has not learned as yet that no one can insult you without your permission. As one gets older one rises above certain things, not continue to wallow in the gutter.

    Dont make me laugh blog owner hear inniss next for what purpose?

    Duguid has brought the House of assembly to the lowest it has ever been probably in its history.

    Now he want to blame someone else. Inniss say this and Inniss say that. Pure invention of his part. Nothing more than hogwash. We are not buying it

    Duguid must be allowed to boil in his own juices. He must not be let off the hook.

    The bogust apology I am not accepting it.

    The man is a disgrace, he has shamed the entire country. His contribution was particuarly nasty, so much so that he was stopped in his tracks and prevented from continuing with his “speech”. Even after he sat down he fired off his vile comments showing complete disrespect for all members and officials gathered with the exception of cinty who thought the whole thing was hilarious and very becoming for a member. That says a lot about her well.

    He was annoyed because last week Minister Inniss said that instead of Owen asking about the assets of DLP MPs he should ask how is it that Duguid can live in Toronto and only visit Barbados for Parliament sittings So he came with his guns blazing this week and ended shaming himself and the entire nation.

    Now for as long as he lives and anyone mentions William or Duguid or William Duguid or Dr. William Duguid or Dr. Duguid the first thing people will remember, “wait you can remember when he told another MP CARRY YOUR MOTHER SCU.T”?

    That is how he is going to be remembered for all time, and he brought it all on himself.


  23. Here is Duguid’s apology!

    Well done.

    Apology by Dr. William Dugiud, MP

    The Parliament of Barbados, the third oldest in the commonwealth, has a rich and proud heritage. The Barbados Labour Party ha
    s steadfastly followed our parliament’s noble traditions and over the years we have distinguished ourselves by our exemplary conduct as Members of Parliament.

    On Tuesday 20 November, I fell far short of those traditions and standards. During that sitting, I made an outburst which I instantly regretted, and for which I now humbly apologize to my constituents and to the wider Barbadian public.

    That outburst was the result of the most grievous of provocations which came from the mouth of a Democratic Labour Party parliamentarian. It would be improper of me to repeat the insulting words used, but I will say that they constituted the gravest possible insult to my wife and to my children.

    Notwithstanding that, I now humbly apologize to my constituents and to the wider Barbadian public. No matter the provocation, I am certain they must all be disappointed in me.

    I intend to tender a similar apology to the Parliament on the occasion of its next sitting.

    @ Davd
    Inniss apologize why should he? He didnt loudly shout to Duguid in the hallowed walls of the House of Assembly ” like yuh mudda c**t.”

    Fractured Blp the man said c**t not scunt. Scunt is foreign it means nothing to most Barbadians its an irrelevant jokey word. C**t on the other hand is deeply insulting a potent curse word the police can tell not infrequently is a prelude to violence.

    An ounce of prevention is better than a ton of cure.


  27. @Telling it like it is

    If Inniss does a stroll through Facebook he may think seriously about an apology based on the comments from Barbadians. If he SAID what he is accused of he should apologize because he said it and not because it wasn’t broadcast. What is difficult to understand?

  28. Carson C Cadogan Avatar

    Inniss has nothing to apologise for.


  29. If Inniss made a comment that is insulting and hurtful to Duguid’s wife and children he should apologize.

    If he called Duguid “a fat slob” he should apologise.

    There is a saying in Canada for circumstances like this. “Take it outside”

    Street thug behaviour should be taken to the street and blood left on the pavement.

    THE CHILDREN AT SCHOOL DOES CURSE REAL BAD—ON THE STREETS—-ON THE BUS —–WHEREVER .

    You seem to think that Duguid cursing is the worst thing in the world and that it will lose the BLP votes and the DLP will win an election in Barbados. Man you got something else coming your side B

    Not condoning the outburst , and the man has apologized anyhow, but this kind of cursing wherever it happens is –nothing new or that disturbing. A BLP man uttered the outburst so the DLP hacks going to play that they taking the moral high road. But really , lets be honest. People curse each other everyday and ral bad too. And sometimes they mean nothing by it. I have heard men making rough sport and tell each other some of the worst things only to laugh it off minutes after. I dont know what this hukkaboo is all about.

    I am certain that most people in Barbados have told somebody else similar or worse things and behaviour in Parliament is not ever saintly no where in the world so the reaction but some on this blog is laughable.

    If Donville Inniss or anybody else had the gall to tell me foolishness like that , I would have cursed he back up in e mudda -a lot worst that Duguid. Duguid’s words soft compared to what I would have told Donville. Since when were they saints in Parliament. The very nature of politics demands a certain toughness

    The Prime Minister heself does curse people too but he does dress it up in flowery speechyfying.

    I just watch the video
    I am still laughing

    I believe that when Erskine Sandiford told the people in Parliament to LIKE IT OR LUMP IT that that is really the worst thing ever said in parliament and he was a Prime Minister.
    He never apologized but yuh know what –it is too late for him to apologize—One Republic sang that song –Too late to ‘pologize,

    ONE REPUBLIC – APOLOGIZE LYRICS
    I’m holding on your rope
    Got me ten feet off the ground
    And I’m hearing what you say
    But I just can’t make a sound

    You tell me that you need me
    Then you go and cut me down, but wait
    You tell me that you’re sorry
    Didn’t think I’d turn around and say

    That it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
    I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
    Too late, oh

    I’d take another chance, take a fall
    Take a shot for you
    And I need you like a heart needs a beat
    But it’s nothing new, yeah yeah

    I loved you with a fire red, now it’s turning blue
    And you say sorry like the angel
    Heaven let me think was you
    But I’m afraid

    It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
    I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late, whoa whoa

    It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
    I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late

    I said it’s too late to apologize, yeah, too late

  33. If the Dem Jack Asses would only play along and apologize with an even better statement, they would beat the Arthur-Mottley machinery at their own game …

    mr inniss crawls my skin, he talks and seems like some perverted dog but his mother’s cunt should not come into any outburst,. granted that duguid is an utterly fat slob, just look at the vid, he does need to exercise, but he was totally wrong to tell that man anything about his mother;s cunt, it has nothing to do with him


  35. Duguid did the right thing in apologizing. That is now behind him.

    Inniss also needs to apologize. I could be wrong but I am hearing in the video “Yuh big fat slobby idiot”.

    Is this how honorable members address each other in the Parliament?

    B’dos is a place filled with many fat people who are voters. Inniss need only speak to the Prof from ‘the other place’ who has almost been in the wilderness on this one.

    Is this one of the reasons politics doesn’t seem to always attract the brightest and honest of minds?

    You may want to read the following to accurately portray the context of Sir Lloyd’s reference to like it or lump it.

    7/19/2009
    Former PM seeks to clear the air
    Story By Jenique Millington

    SET to leave this country shortly for China to take up the mantle of Barbados’ Ambassador, Former Prime Minister, Sir Lloyd Erskine Sandiford, said that his now famous ‘like it or lump it’ statement was not directed to the Barbadian public as portrayed.

    Seeking to clear the air on this while at the Democratic Labour Party’s lunchtime lecture recently, he said, “I want to make it abundantly clear as I made it at the time, I never referred to the people of Barbados and told them they could ‘like it or lump it’. I was speaking to the then leader of the Opposition, Mr. Henry Forde, who had made some … comment about something I had said, and I told him he could ‘like it or lump it’.

    “It wasn’t addressed to the people of Barbados or to the Opposition Party. It was directed at something he had said … but they ran with that and distorted my sayings and pinned that upon me and my own people believed it, but the truth will out, though everyone tried to conceal it, because the truth is not as attractive as the untruth,” he continued.

    Outlining the reasons behind him now trying to clarify the statement after almost two decades, Sir Lloyd said, “I say this because I have learnt over time that it is important in our public affairs not to assume that people will get the message. We must clarify the message and at all times speak as clearly as we can make it.”

    In what may be his last address at the George Street headquarters for some time, he also disclosed that he has been invited by the University of the West Indies to
    accept the Honorary Doctorate of Laws, gaining the applause of those gathered.

    Presenting the topic “Barbados’ Pursuit of the Goal of becoming a Developed Country”, he outlined that Barbados should aim to gain the status of a developed country rather than remain “static and stagnant” as just a developing one.

    “We have climbed out of that status, we have made progress in that direction and we are still the leading developing country in the world,” he stated.

    He pointed out that during his leadership of the country in 1991, the United Nations Development Programme first devised the Human Development Index, ranking countries according to social and economic attainments and then Barbados was ranked at 21 – higher than some of those more

    developed countries.

    Wunna people does listen to our school children’s casual conversations in PUBLIC? (Don’t talk about in private…)
    What the hell is all this self righteousness? The only honest person on this blog Is BAFBFP….and he just trying to be provocative…

    Whether wunna like it or not, this place has degenerated into the most vile gutter-like uncouth place on earth….

    Lets start with the loud nasty remarks that MANY men routinely drop to women in passing …..all the way to the casual way in which bajan women ACCEPT such insults….

    As Rihanna HONESTLY AND CORRECTLY says, the C-word is commonly used in all kinds of situations from the blocks to the boardrooms.

    ….obviously Duguid had to cuss Inniss about his MUDDA C___ since presumably Inniss himself does not own one…. 🙂

    Bushie just feel that we are all a bunch of hypocrites – routinely accepting a form of behavior throughout our society, and now pretending to be offended by this….

    The biggest joke is the whole idea of apologies…WHAT THE HELL!!!

    Does ANYONE think that such apologies are genuine, sincere and therefore of ANY value?
    Stupseeee!!
    We should be debating an approach to cleaning up the WHOLE

  42. @Fractured BLP | November 23, 2012 at 4:04 PM |
    David of BU…What is the meaning of SCUNT ?

    Dear Fractured BLP. If you remove the “s” from before scunt this is what you get

    Cunt ( /ˈkʌnt/) is a word that primarily describes the female genitalia, particularly the vulva, and is widely considered to be vulgar.[1] The earliest citation of this usage in the 1972 Oxford English Dictionary, c 1230, refers to the London street known as Gropecunt Lane. Scholar Germaine Greer has said that “it is one of the few remaining words in the English language with a genuine power to shock.”[2]
    Cunt is also used as a derogatory epithet referring to people of either sex. This usage is relatively recent, dating from the late nineteenth century.[3] Reflecting different national usages, cunt is described as “an unpleasant or stupid person” in the Compact Oxford English Dictionary, whereas Merriam-Webster has a usage of the term as “usually disparaging and obscene: woman”,[4] noting that it is used in the U.S. as “an offensive way to refer to a woman”;[5] the Macquarie Dictionary of Australian English states that it is “a despicable man”, however when used with a positive qualifier (good, funny, clever, etc.) in Britain, New Zealand and Australia, it can convey a positive sense of the object or person referred to.[6]
    The word appears to have been in common usage from the Middle Ages until the eighteenth century. After a period of disuse, usage became more frequent in the twentieth century, in parallel with the rise of popular literature and pervasive media. The term also has various other derived uses and, like fuck and its derivatives, has been used mutatis mutandis as noun, pronoun, adjective, participle and other parts of speech.

    Don’t thank me. Thank Wikipedia.


  43. Yea, but not by self- righteously condemning what we routinely do ourselves….(not Bushie of course, whose language is based on his South African roots), but by serious self examination and by leading and demanding change to be driven from the top down.

    …LOL…that sounds pretty, but no one in current leadership would even know where to start doing this…


  44. But Bushie we expect our Parliamentarians to behave better than we do.

    And we are offended when they do not.


  45. @ William Duguid “That outburst was the result of the most grievous of provocations which came from the mouth of a Democratic Labour Party parliamentarian. It would be improper of me to repeat the insulting words used, but I will say that they constituted the gravest possible insult to my wife and to my children”

    If Donville Inniss said words which grievously of provoked William Duguid and furthermore if those words constituted the gravest possible insult to Willie’s wife and children then Donville should apologize to the Honourable House.

    Because after all NOT ONE of us of us can say with ABSOLUTELY CERTAINTY who our fathers are.


  46. @ Simple Simon
    ..you making sport right?
    We don’t even seem to be able to expect that of the priests. The judiciary, the teachers…..
    …and you EXPECT this from the scum of the earth? …the people who sink to the lowest level, cuss each other, tell lies, insult, throw dirt etc ….JUST TO GET ELECTED.

    What? ….after they are elected they become ‘Honorable’ and saints?

    Our political system GUARANTEES that our politicians are the worse among us. This is EXACTLY why we get what we get. They then appoint poppets in positions like DPP, COP, CJ, CPO and other high paying jobs to do their nasty work ….and embarrass and impoverish us.

    Bushie trying to get Caswell to change that and seek a system that puts CAPABLE and HONORABLE people in place …but he like he frighten….. Islandgal too…..

    You don’t want to ask them a question for Bushie…?


  47. Because if 1,000 people stand in a room and say “he is my father” statistically 50 of them are wrong.

    Am I one of those 50?

    Are you (whoever you are) one of those 50?

    We don’t like to think about it but men and women give and receive horns, every day.

    Every single day.

    It has always been so.

    It will always be so.


  48. Dear Caswell and islandgal246. Please answer Bushie’s call and offer yourselves for honourable elected office.


  49. @Wikipedia…”Gropecunt Lane”

    Those English people of 1230 were very explicit.

    Imagine if we tried to rename the road around the Garrison “Gropecunt Circle”


  50. “I now humbly apologize to my constituents and to the wider Barbadian public. The outburst was the result of the most grievous of provocations, which came from the mouth of a DLP parliamentarian. It would be improper of me to repeat the insulting words used, but I will say that they constituted the gravest possible insult to my wife and to my children,” he stated. (RJ)
