I believe that given the sceanrio and place of venue and enviroment the heated debate and responsibilty of choosing a leader. the stament of malice would be unprovable and unfounded.clearly this was an attempt by hinckson to undo what damage payne would have inflicted on MIA charcter by his allegations which would have cast sufficient or reasonable doubt on her becoming leader .simply put hinkson statements in reality said “He who is without sin cast the first stone. Malice NO, Justifiable with reasonYES

i am hearing that a meeting has been called on Monday by the elders of the BLP to put an end to this Hinkson / Payne / Mottley fiasco and address Mottley’s / Dottin’s relationship, it is also reported that Arthur has been asked to be present, is this the third coming of Arthur ?
If the call of the elders is for Mottley to step aside and let someone who is not Damaged Goods lead the party, not sure what the meetings holds for her or Payne but at least the older heads are trying to regain some order to a very corrupt party just now, Mottley is clearly not honest and clearly not the material based on Payne and Marshall’s observations of her actions and further based on Arthur’s statement from UWI that she had to rid herself of her Demons and that because of life style she was unfit to lead the BLP or the Nation of Barbados. -

The Nation newspaper aint touching the Hinckson rebuttal they more interested in stirring up criticism and attacks on the Dems over Dottin. Is the fellow Eric Smith who take over from Kamar Jordan a B, a D, a neutral? The anti DLP editorials and articles have increased. The Nation newspaper staying the course as the governents’s biggest adversary apart from the BLP and the Hotel Association.

Let us not forget this report either, The theme was: ‘Charting a New Direction,’ but the 72nd Conference of the Barbados Labour Party ended in anarchy. The general feeling of the delegates who attended was that it was the worst and most disorganized Conference in the party’s 72 year history. Resolutions submitted to the party were not communicated to delegates and naturally the Conference found that horrifying.
The lame excuse of the printer not working was advanced so too the excuse that Branches had submitted Resolutions late. The Conference might have believed that froth until it was explained that the same Resolutions alleged to have been submitted by Branches to party headquarters, late – were actually sent to an Attorney on last Friday for vetting. By then the room was in an uproar.All I can say is that under its present leadership, there is disquiet in the hive while a clear message of “bullying, arrogance and defiance” is being send by the Barbados Labour Party, even after being told by the electorate two and half years ago, that it needed to change and repackage itself.
“To the share horror of most, the divided BLP is now behaving as though it feels that the people of Barbados are either stupid or have short memories because it is again being led and dominated by the same people who the electorate expressed concern about in 2008. “
The Resolution that was derailed yesterday is evidence that the BLP is not motivated to change on it own and is resisting any attempt at such from within. Therefore, in the interest of democracy, and given this scenario which the people of Barbados finds unacceptable, it now falls on the electorate to “force change within that organization.“
This is easy, since it is clear that the BLP is split into two faction, albeit that one half of the BLP seems united 100% behind Mia Mottley, who clearly has an agenda for change, which is consistent with the instructions given by the electorate in 2008. Mia Mottley had advanced a slate of clean and competent candidates but it is left to be seen if they will now “B-selected.”
If the BLP Conference shows one thing, it is that Mia Mottley appears to be the sole catalyst for change and healing within that organisation. That fact obviously has not escaped a frail and tired looking Owen Arthur, who said publicly that the BLP and Barbados needs Mia Mottley. Surely Arthur is aware that such a statement, serves as a vote of no-confidence in the four who recently made him leader. Still, the point remains that to-date, Mia Mottley has outlined the only credible plan or vision of a new politics and development path for Barbados.
It was not difficult to see that Mia Mottley was the highpoint of the Conference over the three days it was held. This is highly unusual because Owen Arthur was expected to have been the main event. Unfortunately, his speech was flat and offered no hope to Barbadians. A number of delegates who attended were overheard saying that it was ‘warm over cold soup’ and they heard it before. Ironically, the part of Arthur’s speech that was boisterously applauded was when he said that Barbados and the BLP needs Mia Mottley.
There can be no denying that under Mia Mottley’s dynamic and progressive leadership, the BLP was a political institution that was united and served as a beacon of hope for Barbadians on both side of the political divide. It is also obvious that Mia Mottley has a clear plan for the continued transforming of this country, and was already utilizing he best Barbadian talent and innovation in the national interest.
It is therefore sad that such a laudable cause has been derailed and despite a Conference theme of: ‘Charting a New Direction,’ the BLP’s slide continues with Grantley Adam’s Party now on a Fast Free Fall From relevance and stability to Crisis.
This is something that would have been unfathomable four months ago, much less two years ago, when Mia Mottley was taking on a Prime Minister Thompson, then in his element.
Today, while ‘the-gang-of-five’ is quick to talk about their right to choose and the will of the majority, they seem oblivious to the fact that they are resisting all and any attempt for greater transparency, accountability, democracy and good governance within the BLP, having derailed the introduction of a system of: “one-man-one-vote,” as proposed by four Branches of the party who want change. The lords of the BLP seem determined to suppress all and any opposition as well as to place a gag order on any and all dissenting views.
Owen Arthur spoke about discipline within the party and using the internal systems to settle concerns and disputes, yet on the very day that Parliament was meeting, he called a media conference at the UWI to cuss Mia Mottley.
And so what was witnessed at the 72nd BLP Conference is the fortification of maguffy policies and the emergence of dictatorial politics within the party that Grantley Adam’s formed.No one expected that the BLP would ever seek to suppress the views of the “MAJORITY” of its total membership or slam the door shut on a system of one-man-one-vote, as Grantley Adams – the founding father of that party – had intended for the country. This is usually the case in societies where the rulers feel that the populace are stupid and are incapable of making wise decision.
And so, this 72nd Conference was an insult to the legacy of the Rt. Excellent Sir Grantley Adams and shows a BLP under its present leadership – ‘charting a new direction’ away from Grantley Adam’s vision.
Rarely has a political institution fallen so far from grace and as fast as the divided Barbados Labour Party. And while its slide is intensifying daily with the ousting of Mia Mottley as Political Leader and Leader of the Opposition, the arrival of this ugly moment is still a staggering blow, particularly for women and anyone who loves and respects our National Hero – The Rt. Excellent Grantley Adams.Delegates literally left the BLP conference in tears, depressed and deflated that their party had denied them the right to have a say in the formulation of the rules and the governance procedures of the party. Under its new leadership, it is not about service but power and dominance and being the lord and masters of the people.
The ousting of Mia Mottley has therefore triggered a slow and painful process and the implosion of the BLP. The seriousness Mia Mottley brought to national debate and to addressing social and economic issues, has vanished as the old boys club, once more lords over the people as their masters.

It was written by one of your own, sad but true.
This one isn’t going away Mr BLP ! i know it must be painful to see you dirty linen being thrown around in the public domain but more importantly how does it feel to be touting for the BLP knowing full well you got a crook a thief a traitor to your party and a person who instructs the C of P who’s phones to Wire Tap and listen to their private calls ?
Were I you rather than trying to defend the defenceless you should be saying sorry to innocent Barbadians that your party traitor leader inflicted on good honest Barbadians, for you to come on here with your party mouth relegates you to the same class and one that condones corruption, theft and fraud and wire tapping, think on these things do you not have more honour that to defend the defenceless ?

The BLP matter with Payne and Hinkson needs to be resolved before the BLP’s AGM. How can they head into the AGM with this matter looming over their heads?
What happens if other people at the Meeting are called to give evidence, knowing our political “unbiased” court system, this matter will be heard just before elections are called.
My take is to expel both, Enter Douglas Skeete for St James and Stuart Mottley for St Andrew.
MAM MUST ACT NOW. There is nothing to lose, you have lost the election already. It is time to show leadership and no one is going to cross the floor.
-
Like it or Lump it they often say Mottley has balls this is one such time we will see how big her balls really are, she herself is not blameless either, the charges of theft of party monies, being a traitor and her role in the Wire Tapping fiasco is not to be taken lightly.
-
Today could well be a make or break day in the life of motley the outcome of the meeting this evening holds her future in the balance, in comes Arthur and swoops Mottley out and may swoop Dale to office.

Funny that Mottley suddenly can’t handle her own kitchen fire – George Payne v Edmund Hinkson – gets out on the street to communicate with the public, comes here to the BU, post comment and the Barbados Free Press the same. The PAC meeting that convened 06/18/2013 was temporarily suspended but not before Minister Inniss embarrassed her badly, Mia Mottley and not before she embarrassed herself. Does she know what she is doing?
Interesting that Mia Mottley and Dale Marshall are demanding answers from Prime Minister Stuart concerning Dottin. Interesting, neither one of them demanded answers and or a thorough investigation concerning those Britton Hill deaths.

I really do not want to discuss the George Payne versus Edmund Hinkson issue,but it behooves me that two so-called “men” could be behaving so childish. These are the people who are the representatives of thousands of Barbadians. No wonder this country is regressing. A bunch of nincompoops on both sides administering the affairs of this country.
This is a silly issue that could have been resolved at the party level and it should not have reach the stage it is presently at.
Incompetent leader with a bunch of “little children” that is the Barbados labour Party today.No wonder the Democratic Labour Party headed by the contemptuous and arrogant Freundel Stuart won the last general elections
The Barbados Labour Party in its present state is not fit to lead Barbados at this stage.I hope it remains in opposition for a very long time maybe the next ten or fifteen years..
