George Payne v Edmund Hinkson: Storm Clouds Hovering Over MAM

George Payne – OUT
Edmund Hinkson,M.P.

News broke this week that Barbados Labour Party (BLP) member of parliament George Payne has filed a defamation action against fellow BLP member of parliament Edmund Hinkson. To say that the action is mind boggling is an understatement. BU continues to try all effort to procure the court filing.

One has to question the motive of filing such an action by Payne and what on earth Hinkson would have stated publicly that was so damaging to the reputation of Payne. One would have thought that both BLP candidates would put party first and thrash out what differences appear to exist between the two away from the public glare.  BU believes if this matter is pursued it will reflect poorly on Mia Mottley early in her stint as opposition leader a second time around.

It is no secret there is bad blood between Hinkson and Payne which spilled into the public domain during the battle for who should represent the BLP St. James North seat in the 2013 General Election. Observers opine that Payne used his full weight as Chairman of the Barbados Labour Party to support Skeete. In the end the Rawle Eastmond anointed Edmund Hinkson won the nomination and the general election.  Why would Payne, the plaintiff in this matter see sense in pursuing a defamation action at this time? By so doing he has disrespected MAM’s position which is no surprise.

If politicians continue to demonstrate that they lack the ability to resolve personal conflicts, how can we expect them to resolve issues of national import?

    A bit more on our history …

    The period between the formation of the D.L.P. in 1955 and the formation of the first D.L.P. Government in 1961 was a simple story of initial defeat and discouragement turned into victory through perseverance and hard work. In the 1956 General Election only four of the D.L.P’s sixteen candidates were successful. In the time following Mr. (later Sir) Theodore Brancker served as the Leader of the Opposition and Mr. C. F. Broome was the Party Chairman.

    Subsequent to the death of Mr. Charlie Broome in 1959, Mr. Errol Barrow was elected Chairman and in this capacity led the Party into the momentous General Election of 1961. On December 5th 1961 the Democratic Labour Party won 14 of the 24 seats in the Barbados House of Assembly.

    Also remember it was the same Pain who made public and who distributed flyers of the 35 reasons why Hinkson was unfit to receive the nomination to be the candidate for St James North, and I must say none of them were complimentary to Hinkson in the slightest.

    “I have heard from a reliable source that Mascoll has been writing Albert Brandford’s column for some time now”
    You have no idea how the Nation newspaper is being prostituted by BLP operatives It makes a mockery of balanced journalism. Look at the recent guest columns “Ezra Alleyne, Sir David Seale, Loveridge,Straughn”,.
    If you want to get a column in the Nation newspaper, start publicly criticising the DLP and they will seek you out.
    Journ alism in Barbados is at an all time low and the Nation newspaper continues to lower their standards.

    The ownership of Starcom by the Nation means that the VOB call in programmes cannot be a “frank and fair discussion” because many of the Starcom moderators have ties to the Nation newspaper and cannot call a spade a spade. They cannot be expected to criticise the parent company for which some of them write.

    All media houses can point to instances where they cover both parties.
    The Advocate will argue that they cover both sides – I can read about Cynthia Forde protesting B’s Recycling in the Advocate and most other events which the opposition is engaged in.
    I have seen all the new BLP MPs being part of the news coverage on the CBC news, tonight I see Mia Mottley is the only MP who is featured in the CBC newscast with her remarks from the BLP anniversary service.
    My point is that It is only the Nation newspaper where you can find known and confessed BLP supporters criticising one party and no alternative view from the other side.
    Mascoll’s column in the Nation should have an opposing view. Harry Russell, Sanka Price and Pat Hoyos cannot do that as they all sing from the same BLP choir book.

    Hinkson only called Payne a dishonest crooked thief so what’s wrong with calling a thief that he is a thief?
    ———————————————
    One small correction to Hinckson apt descrption of George Barrack Payne. It is a description applicable to a majority of local attorneys. Payne should not walk alone on Hincksons description just look at the constant trek of lawyers to prison for theiving people’s money.

    Look at how Alair skin he pooch at a woman judge.

    In addition to that you have an accused redneck racist Mark Goodridge of Highgate Gardens beating fame becoming a QC. Look out for Goodridge skinning his ass at a judge soon in the best traditions of his QC mentor Alair.

    Hickson hopes one day Payne will be on his way to a cell in Dodds. Hinckson knows he is not alone in his hopes.

    Of one thing you can be sure David [BU] MAM always has a plan.

    “For country, for party, for family” are words is self sacrifice and serving the greater good that have gone out the window in these times

    A generation of vipers shall be born into them is exemplified in Payne’s behaviour to his fellow parliamentarian in arms

    Payne don’t really care about the BLP he only cares about himself and his ego.

    The thing is that Seethru nor MAM can control him for he hath ascended to Olympus or Asgard with the other parliamentary demigods.

    The people have spoken and the people must be punished.

    In parting let me leave you with this thought. 2018, is it possible for the DLP TO win in 2018?

    Yes, because barring death, I see Owen Megalomania Arthur coming back to contend for the seat as leader of the BLP.

    And if we think this squabble between Eddie and Georgie to be the airing of dirty linen in public well prepare for the suck well and sewage filth that will be thrown on stage

    Keep up the good work George. My wife told me that we short men does try to make up for our “shortcomings” by doing stupidness like this.

    Dis is why she tell me dat Sir Leroy trying to get he woman appoint as GS, shortcomings!!!

    At 5″ 5 you cud tell me if you agree wid she.

    I want to make a few comments on (1) David’s post re BLP Member of Parliament’s George Payne’s filing a defamation action against fellow BLP member Edmund Hinkson; and (2) David’s comments on BA mediocrity in the selection of nominees for QC’s and WellWell’s suggestion that “There’s a nice scam the lawyers got going.”

    First, the account regarding Payne v Hinkson is not only mind boggling, but it speaks to a professionally unethical act. I read it thrice to “wrap my head around it” and up to now, I can’t fathom it to my own satisfaction. Yet, here are some thoughts that emerged while I tried to understand motive, since we are aware of the roguish behavior of members of both he BLP and the DLP during the last General Election, and prior elections. What was said that warranted this action- if anything?

    Cussing, denigrating and vilifying the opposition, though justifiable is base. The ends seem to justify the means. But, there is something wrong when a member of one’s political family has the temerity, the testicular gumption to seek redress in the public domain.

    .When family members have problems, there are avenues to sort them out, behind close doors, instead of airing the musty smelling underwear, or dirty linen in public.

    The reported action to be taken, at this particular time, after the Honorable MAM has been chosen as head, by a majority, might suggests that MP Payne – solo, or in consort with another, is doing one or all of the following:

    (1) Testing the boundaries to determine what the family’s leader will do;

    (2) Testing how the rest of the family will respond to this tactic – it may be part of a larger strategy;

    (3) Deliberately seeking to make it unmistakably clear that there is a schism and vulnerability within the party-but to what end? Who will gain? What will they gain.

    (4)Self-promoting and personally jockeying for position. (This will not in any way lift him up and tear MAM down cause there is such a thing as Universal Law, and yes the Law of Compensations.. Bajans are not asleep; they only behave as if they are.)

    Using the race or gender card is something I do not do, however, that this is happening now makes me wonder if this public underwear and linen airing is not gender related- and if it is, then women of the BLP and DLP should think about it seriously. This is just a thought.

    .Finally, there should be within either party either a mediator, or an elected Professional Code of Ethics Committee which upholds The Professional Relationship Code that should assert, ‘If a member of the Party has a grievance against another member, such grievance shall not be taken into the public domain unless all avenues for reconciliation fail within the Party’.

    ‘Furthermore, should the member seek public redress, such member shall be held in contempt and his or her membership in the party becomes invalid.’ I am certain that there are those among you who know what exists to sustain cohesiveness in the political parties. But, I think
    There has to be a mechanism to deal with this type of situation which is a personal assault on people’s sense of what is decent..After all, young people are watching and listening.

    Second, regarding the BA, I cannot speak to its selection and nomination of mediocre QC’s, and I would not suggest, or even agree, as WellWell has that BA has a nice scam going for three reasons only:

    (1) The people closest to my heart are lawyers and “-some of my best friends” are members of this profession;

    (2) “Ah fraid” lock up; and

    (3) I want to be responsible. Therefore, I want my words to inform, ito inspire, to be factual and helpful. This I want to add though.

    I have had an opportunity to make a personal assessment of what I consider to be dysfunctions that are indicative of a judicial system in need of reform, Why?

    There is something wrong when a lawyer is retained by a client to sell land in Barbados, takes the money received for sale of said property and tells the client of woes with former colleagues which render him unable to suirrender her funds for sale of said property.

    There is something wrong when a lawyer can dissemble the facts about the transactions and sale of said property, when they are legally recorded and presents as if he does not care about the profession of which he is a member..

    There is something wrong, when a Barbadian lawyer can be fraudulent with clientele – with impunity, and still be allowed to practice in Barbados.

    More importantly, there is something wrong when the duped client levies a complaint with BA and other Representatives of the court without the courtesy of an official timely response.

    There is something drastically wrong with BA and the judicial system that allows lawyers to practice without malpractice insurance and a client security system to ensure that clients recover major financial losses..

    Does BA have a scam going on? I don’t know, but there is something going on that is very wrong, something that is chronic, vulgar and potentially deadly – a sickness that must be treated.

    Is it that MP Payne believes he is not accountable to his Party and the future generations who want to be politicians? Does this fraudulent lawyer feel that he is above the law and entitled to take his client’s money
    and use it at will, because the entity of which he is a part does not make him feel accountable?

    Keep up the good work BU.

    At least you could ensure that those who would wish to attack Mr Mark Goodridge would factually state what was the charge brought against him . He was NOT charged for beating or assaulting anybody but for “discharging a firearm within 50 yards of a public highway” . Maybe too the persons commenting on this matter would try to find out what the innocent black boy was doing at the Goodridge property at Highgate …whether he was paying a visit or thiefing .

    It is why commenters play their part to offer clarifications.

    Yes he was formally charges for the offense as you described but a ‘White’ man beating a Black boy even if he was stealing on the property and the circumstances how it was done will not sit well with a predominantly Black population.

    I do not know of any law in Barbados which gives a owner of property to kill or injure a thief, except in self defense. Did Mr. Good beat the little black boy in self defense, and should he be a QC, based on his involvement in this thing. I say No! That is only my humble opinion. It is not that this thing happen in the 70s or 80s. The DLP should be ashame of what they have done!

    A little history here:

    From the pages of the Nation newspaper

    NOT MIA AND ME!

    Arthur says BLP Leadership issue about the people

    by Ricky Jordan

    Mia Mottley’s leadership challenge is not between her and Owen Arthur, or her Opposition colleagues. It has to do with what she symbolizes in the minds of Barbadians.

    That is the view of former Prime Minister Owen Arthur, who said yesterday his former Deputy Prime Minister and current Opposition Leader was not accepted by most Barbadians as a future Leader.

    “I can not say there is not a challenge of Leadership in the BLP, but the challenge is not between Ms. Mottley and myself.

    “The challenge is, as represented in the Peter Wickham poll, that Ms. Mottley…..faces a problem of being accepted by the society at large and faces a problem of being accepted by a cross section of the BLP,” Arthur told the media at his UWI, Cave Hill office.

    He said there was one facet of the issue which neither he nor Mottley could do anything about, and that was that after being Leader of the BLP and country for 14 years, a large measure of support for him remained in sections of the society and the party.

    MORE TO COME AT ANOTHER TIME.

    (1) Peter Wickham’s polls have been devastating to the Barbados Labour Party. Mia was betrayed and removed from office as a result of a Peter Wickham poll. Peter Wickham’ s poll and a blind reliance on it by the Barbados Labour Party in the last elections grossly misled the BLP. Of course the Democratic Labour Party pays no attention to Peter Wickham or his “polls”.

    (2) Delusions of Grandeur. There is great danger in believing that you are more important than you are. In hindsight Owen is fully aware of that now.

    (3) Never give a wash up former Prime Minister an cavernous office at UWI Cave Hill as it separates him from reality.

    (4)Even the institution that you lead (BLP) hates your guts. Mia are you listening? Nothing has changed in the BLP for you.

    I have seen racism, social stratification, middle-class-ism, saved in the blood of the saints-ism ( a phenomena that is practiced at we church where the holier-than-thou crew doan mix with de res uh we backsliders), I have seen it all, in various countries, across this great globe, during these many years here.

    While Mr. Goodridge might be a racist, if as was alluded to the poor black boy was tiefing in Highgate den he is right to protect his property.

    I don’t see many people writing about the Blackman who killed John the paro at his restaurant in 2nd Avenue? Belleville when, admittedly, the paro was tiefing his limes!

I continue to say this and people cuss me for it. yet, I witness the same in the 70s in this said same Barbados. You think it was only yesterday that Barbados was being referred to a Bull Badus.

    If Mia carrying the same behavior to the BLP women why should they defend her. Mia has already dipped her hand in money again. Funds were promised to the BLP during the elections. The people went to the promisers only to find that Mia had already collected the money and spend it. Last time she took the 100,000 for the party had it in her bank account and the BLP office staff could not be paid. I just remember something Mia is a lawyer.

    My information is that Seethru was pushing “car seats cutter-upper” as the leader of the opposition but Cyntie threaten to go independent if that happen and that scuttled the whole thing. Remember that only 13 people voted when it was time to choose an opposition leader. Your guess is as good as mine who the member of the opposition was who absented him self from the voting.

    There was a huge photo of the voting process in their Nation newspaper and a larger than life person was conspicuous by his absence.

    For those of you outside of politics, it is difficult to remain wealthy in politics. Why do you think that the BLP is fighting tooth and nail to be returned to office.

    When you have a constituency of six to seven thousand people and every day they are knocking at your door begging for this and that, you finances become depleted rather quickly.

    The Barbados Labour Party representative in Parliament whose suits don’t fit well anymore, is already on record as saying,”yuh tink it easy being in opposition”.

    Tom’s son shall play a part in the next election, unless this disclosure runs him. St. Peter can not be guaranteed, as OSA has upset a lot of people there. St. Thomas is like St. John; need I say more. The white business class is also calling for more political involvement as they seem to be sidelined further and further every election. When the DLP put forward its white man what shall you do?
