@Hal Austin | April 16, 2013 at 6:00 AM | What criminal act? Please specify – name and identify it for us please, since you seem sure that there was a criminal act perpetrated.

@Caswell Franklyn | April 16, 2013 at 7:26 AM |How am I a backstabber? A backstabber is one who says one thing to your face and another behind your back. You rhetoric is, stylistically, almost identical to that of your master.

@millertheanunnaki | April 16, 2013 at 7:41 AM |Always a pleasure and always undeniable.

@Well Well. I tend to agree with you on Crane Scott to the extent that she is likely the best of a pretty bad bunch and give her the benefit of the doubt that it is difficult to maintain excellence when surrounded by mediocrity.

@Bushie. Believe me, the respect is most certainly reciprocated. I believe in admitting if I think I am wrong and fighting like hell when I think I am right. Note that I say “think” as there are no absolutes that I know of. With few exceptions, the BU family is like that – and that commands respect. Maybe the justice system should try it.

@pieceuhderockyeahright! As I said, Alair is not a good friend of mine, but nonetheless I find him entertaining company and very pleasant, although, also, as I said, I sometimes have reservations about him professionally. Whether wittingly or unwittingly (and my instinct is the latter) Alair has done the justice system a signal service and opened the door for other counsel to walk through, although not, hopefully, by mooning people. Also you raised the issue of conduct at Cave Hill by the wife of Kenny Anthony and how the police did nothing. I think you may find that that particular incident was covered by diplomatic immunity and the police would not do anything without causing a diplomatic incident in which they would be found at fault.

@Sargeant | April 16, 2013 at 8:08 AM | You are, in my view, right. There was no criminal act. Also remember that Alair is actually a top class criminal counsel. It is unlikely that he would expose himself (no pun intended) by committing a criminal act. Then too, the police officers would have to factor in undoubted repercussions for false arrest.

@Baffy. Your are so right. Do you know Peta Alleyne? Can you bring it to her attention? I would certainly attend. I would also be really interested to know who they would get to play the role of Alair Shepherd. Any thoughts? Maybe a reality show contest on CBC is an idea to find just the right person? Could be very interesting viewing.

@ Islandgirl246

“I will be kissing yellow, yellow and will be kissing nuff fellow”

I taught dat you had spurned my advanced for life but here you are giving me annuder chance.

“I will be wearing blue, blue and looking to kiss you too”

As you can see I am both romantic and poetic and vying for your hand still ( de madam is going to be out de island, no pun intended, from Saturday wid de women’s fellowship)

I hope that Bushie don’t see this causing he like he got a crush on you too, not the bush lawyer fellow, his intentions towards you are suspect, especially when you always referring to he cutlass, which bring to mind an ole joke but I doan want to insult you delicacies, I want to impress you wid my good manners to whichin I was wondering if you would sen me de rest uh you cell phone number since I only got de first 3 digits 246

@ David
It is this very adherence to the behaviors you favor that in themselves represent the cultural destruction of Barbados. This innate assumption about the rightness of the establishment leaves no room for betterment. To make things better we ALL must to be prepared to ruthlessly and relentlessly interrogate the established order. We have to be prepared to revisit old thinking, institutions and systems.This is what you lack the intestinal fortitude to do. And we will on this day predict that your alleged interest in ‘change’ will only result in a waste of time as it has in the past. This is the central reason why we see red. We hope that that red would indeed be the blood of some who have no ability to create a better future for us all.

@ David
We have long noted your adherence to the establishment, in true Bajan style!

@amused

Diplomatic immunity CANNOT BE INVOKED IN CRIMINAL ACTS!!!

@Watching

Huh?

You just bowled this old man a google, in-swinger bouncer in one ball!!!

David[BU] was able to discern that you were making a statement about the recently held general elections but I “am no as swift of mind as he” and must admit that I am still struggling at the sentence where you were rambling on about this never happening under an Obama administration.

So if I am to understand you correctly Wanting, what you are saying in plain English is that Fumble is not the rightful winner of the Recently concluded general election but Obama is.

Further to this Wanting (a brain) you are also saying that since the United States is still a colony of Britain, queen Elizabeth is the rightful owner of all the slaves, including Kunta Kinte and Alex Hailey

I have to go and take my insulin shots but soft awhile I shall return to decipher the anagrams related to the Guy Fawkes traitors on BU and the conspiracy that is forming here in these cyberspace walls by the asslickers, a thing which I must quickly add I agree with you about, Mark Fenty is right when he said I am a certifiable madman

Whuloss……Baffy help Waiting (to be institutionalized) nuh?

@ David

Disagree! BU is merely a leaver for the slaves to vent while protecting the real enemies from facing our ire. It is no more than a 21st century sophisticated intelligence gathering agent serving the powers that be.

@ Caswell
“What nonsense are you talking? Amused is constantly attacking me….”
**********
So..?!?! What is new?
Man Caswell “people attacking you” is like throwing water on a duck’s back…..from small people were wont to attack you!!
…you mean you ain’t get accustomed to that yet…? Bushie actually thought that you relished such attacks….

Listen Cas, your strength lies in how much you know about all kinds of administrative rules, how well you understand them, your guts in standing for what YOU THINK is right, and your signal disregard for status.
Such characteristics REQUIRE that you not take criticism personally even when it is…. You spend a lot of time judging others (including a lotta big fish) ….how can you expect not to be judged yourself?
..man tek it easy! Amused has his heart in the right place. Your ‘war’ with him is what Colonel Buggy would call friendly fire (wunna on the same side)

@ Islandgal
Leave out Caswell for Bushie. No one is perfect…not even the bushman (as you will find out if things work out for Bushie after Reggae on the Hill 🙂 ) …Bushie buying two extra pints of Hoad’s best goat milk for that engagement….
Hello…yellow… 🙂

@ Pieceuhderock…
….you better wear red ya hear? …cause dat may be the colour of your shirt anyhow – when Bushie finish wid the 2×4 in ya tail…..

If you know what is good for you….keep way from anything yellow…

In my earlier submission at 10.01p Apr 15,I posited that Shepherd has no case to answer,having apologised to the offended judge.Shepherd,in our culture,is understood to be an attorney in good standing and his apology would have been the catalyst for closure in so far as the incident is concerned.
As to whether there would now be earth shattering improvements in the Judicial system of Barbados is left to be seen.It is clear that the politicians made a big mistake in appointing Gibson,Chief Judge.The best he can do the system is to remain in South Africa .
Btw is it coincidence that the incident between Kenny’s wife and the police sargeant came up?Is there a connection with Kenny ?

Everyone knows of Alair and his propensities……………..if he threatens to go ghetto on whomever thinks they can reprimand, punish or discipline him, I think it’s safe to say that he will come down on them like a ton of bricks and let us all know their dirty secrets…………..let’s see who has the bigger, biggest balls.

I forone is still waiting to hear a statement from the Bar Assoiciation condeming such unethical behaviour especially when such rules and guidlines are part of the code of ethics and standards than governs good conduct……….Standard Principle dictates such a response is neccessary

@Alvin

You are correct that on the BU we focus a lot on the underbelly of what affects our society. If you are looking for the feel good stuff tradition media is your better bet.

pieceuhderock@10.07 am

Well said!

LOL @ David
Alvin is in search of a propaganda medium for his Party. Ha Ha Ha

It is somewhat flattering that BU is seen to be so influential. At the same time it is misguided to expect that a forum created to provide TRANSPARENCY and an INTEGRITY FOCUS on behalf of the masses would suddenly want to assume the role of lackie for those who need to be monitored.

@ Alvin
Skippa, even “David de Boss” does have to be on his P’s and Q’s on BU…..far less a bunch of dumb jokers playing politicians.

BTW
Anytime you see leaders who do not VALUE INTELLIGENT CRITICISM, you are looking at jokers – destined for failure.
….tell Bushie any other place where criticism has been as forthright, open and objective than has been the overall case on BU…..shiite man, even ac makes sense occasionally (when there is no moon)

@ Carson
You doth protest too much.
You were successful politically. Why bother continuing this demeaning bickering???
You just like Caswell. You beat the People and you like you want them to like you and to respect your arrogance too?
Shiite man…. Be magnanimous in victory nuh!! Invite the criticisms and RESPOND by dealing with the good suggestions made….
…the whole damn country would benefit…as would your party.

@ Islandgal
What happened?
Bushie still waiting for the call for Sunday lunch….. De bushman had to open a tin o’ sardines after waiting fuh de call til Sunday night…..
….you done know that Bushie now looking for the full works .. ….including appetizer and dessert…. 🙂

Bushie

I challenge you to produce an example where AC was making sense. If she did and I doubt: I would have missed it.

Bushie and Caswell
Leave My Friend Island alone.

What would be the Outcome if the Judge had hoisted her garments and reveal her derriere to the goodly gentleman and asked him to kiss her somewhere on her anatomy ?

Caswell……..who is going to arrest Alair if he is representing the COP??, tell me who do you think would even want to reprimand him in that incestous system.

Well Well

I cannot answer that question, and that is unfortunate: it says that if you have a certain standing in this country, you could get away with anything. I remember going to court as a witness and the Magistrate saw the hair on my chest because the top button on my shirt was undone: I was not wearing a tie. I apologised for the distraction and buttoned the shirt. I suspect that she was aroused at the sight and could not keep her composure, I am not bad looking you know.

Seriously though, the hair on my chest offender the court and almost got me thrown out, and clowns are trying to justify Alair’s deliberate abuse.

Well Well

Thanks for the link. You would celebrate your 250th birthday before you see something like that in our courts.

Has there been any comment from the Barbados Bar Association which led by Andrew Pilgrim QC?

Looks like the Justice System needs a serious overhauling! A progressive society such as ours should not be handicapped by a dysfunctional legal system. There must be a remedy for the malaise that permeates the Courts.

We have not had any condemnation coming from the Attorney General and government, Church, Women Groups, Bar Association, Media Houses etc.

What is wrong with us? The very act which Bush Tea et al have described as disruptive becomes ineffective because key actors in society do not give two hoots.

Island
I hope you notice how Well Well and Caswell agreeing; now he has a friend he shall leave you alone. I now have to work on the Bushman.

We can now deduce by the loud silence in regard to no reprimand, punishment or disciplinary action taken against Alair, that he knows everything about each and everyone of those ball-less, gutless members of the judiciary and will let it all fly if he is provoked.

@Dr The Honourable
The lady’s derriere used to be the most prominent and delightful part of her anatomy in her student days,although based on the submissions of the blogs,such talent would have been wasted on the silk.
