Given the political issues, crises, machinations and shenanigans impacting on Barbados over the last three years, and especially with the types of defences made by and for PM Stuart and his, the two poorest
performing Cabinets in living memory, several observers have concluded that the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) is superior to the Barbados Labour Party (BLP) regarding the use of shaded innuendo, political ‘spin’ and crass propaganda.

Noam Chomsky presents the view that “even though people have the freedom to make their own decisions, they must guard themselves against powerful influences that intend to direct what they think and do in an attempt to maintain power.” Barbadians have to be very mindful of the indistinguishable moles and figurative mules that are antithetical to the interests of working class Barbadians and their offspring.

David Thompson speaking at the first DLP annual conference after he  became prime minister in 2008, reminded a DLP audience still basking in its long-awaited electoral victory that “we are a family and we have a duty to look out one for the other.” As if that was insufficient, David Thompson coached his followers directing them to understand that in no uncertain terms should they shy away from commitment to the DLP because, “your duty is to play your part in maintaining the honour and dignity of this institution, especially now when it forms the government.”

    The DLP is the worst political party in the WORLD!!
    The DLP Government is the worst government ever in the history of governments anywhere.
    The DLP has the worst parliamentary /
    representative in the WORLD!!
    The worst supporters –the supporters in St. John, the most backward and ignorant people in the WORLD !!!–to the WORLD !!!
    St. John are so people are so bewitched that if you paint DLP on a frog and put it to run , they would vote for. A people cannot be so backward. It is a national and worldwide disgrace.

    “Is Barbados really a “backwater Republic?”

    Ask Al Barrack, Leroy Parris, Terrence Thornhill, Bushie who claimed the BLP ministers some of whom are still in Parliament today.

    Ask the many people who are still on remand for years awaiting a fair trial in a backwater republic justice system.

    Ask Sinckler who confirmed the disappearance of $300 million in foreign reserves in less than 3 months but can’t explain who are behind this disappearance.
    Ask the PM who has told myriad bold-faced lies and still is dictator in charge.

    Ask Ronald crack some heads and shoot some people Jones.
    Ask Lashley why he is unable to travel to other backwater republics.

    Ask Bushie why he always refers to Bajans as brass bowls.

    You want more evidence?

    Should read: Ask Al Barrack, Leroy Parris, Terrence Thornhill and Bushie who claimed the BLP ministers- some of whom are still in Parliament today- salted away $800 million through project cost overruns and kickback deals with much of it stashed away in foreign bank accounts and real estate.

    Let us strike a deal. We would ease up on the free bus fares if you would give back the very poor workers the 50% of their reverse tax credit and stop calling them cheats and swindlers while harbouring Leroy Parris the biggest crook in Bullbadus.

    miller,
    I cannot believe that a PM could be so nasty as to insult Barbadians, the same poor people whom they fooled and had running around the place shouting Dems now, Dems again. Was the lady who jumped in front of a BLP motorcade with a Dems now, Dems again flag, was she one of these cheaters? OSA stupidly called a journalist a bad name and the Dems never let him live it down! Talk about hypocrisy?

    But tell me something! Every year we see hundreds of people lined up outside the Treasury, waiting for the IR staff to help them fill out their returns. I would think that these would be mostly the people who would be applying for this reverse tax credit.

    If the IR staff is completing these returns, how is it that the IR staff did not spot
    the fraud in the application process or at the preparation of the cheque stage? Is the PM saying that the IR is complicit in this fraud? Why not go after those who committed the fraud, the law is there for that. Does the IR not go after tax cheats?

    I think that was a slip of the tongue from the fumbling PM to try to justify the slash of the tax credit to poor people as it seems that the tax was to be abolished all together but the liar we have for a MOF bungled the lines and one of them on the front bench corrected him and he said then the tax would be cut in half!

    What a mess!

    What fraud what? These same poor people are even scared to walk pass a cemetery after dark far less try to trick the tax authorities.
    The reverse tax credit (RTC) system is based on evidence of employment earnings supplied by employers and signed declarations by the low paid workers applying for the RTC.
    How can so many low income workers with limited education fiddle a system (a system administered by the best civil service in the region and wider afield according to the PM) to such an extent that would require its abolition?

    As you pointed out the initial intent was the scrapping of the RTC as recommended by the external “advisors” since it represents a loss of revenue and additional administrative burden on that revenue collection agency as a prelude to the establishment of the Central Revenue Authority (CRA).
    However, there was some dissension in Cabinet about its political impact on some representatives with many constituents especially females who benefit from the RTC.
    A temporary 50% deal was struck and the cheating and fraud spin was used to justify the crap. This is just a temporary holding measure but the objective is for its total abolition along with other tax breaks that ‘appear’ to create additional non-productive burdens on the proposed CRA.

    Why can’t this administration come clean with the people and tell the Truth?
    Well, if there are cheaters why not identify them and remove their applications from the system or even surcharge them for amounts received under false declarations?
    Why punish an entire financially vulnerable group just to get at an alleged few crooks who, in the eyes of the public, would make Leroy Parris that refuses to pay up on the $3.3 million laundered via David T money machine look like Gulliver in the land of Lilliput of tax cheats and evaders.

    Excellent, miller!

    You know why they had to slash this RTC? Because the DLP does not learn, they are so incompetent.

    When they got in in 2008, in their exuberance feeling that they were so good to be elected, (they got power now) without knowing why the RTC was put at $1000, they went ahead in the first budget and raised it to $1300. So obviously, it would have had to put a strain on the economy.

    What you have described to me is not “backwater “behavior. These are the things that go on in “first world” countries; the first world status that it was the BLP’s intention to create within a certain number of years. and all the names you called committed their malfeasance during the OSA reign. If the DLP increased the Reverse tax credit initially, and have now put it back to where it was then since the circumstances changed this prudent. Did, your party ever lie to the people? do you still lie to the people? come again.

    @Prodigal Son; even with “proper zoning” the children will still have to take the bus at some point. In addition the difference in the amount based on the days the children will not be in school will still result in a huge savings to the parent. and as long as you keep up this diatribe against the people in st. John, and other people throughout the country read it you will NEVER be able to win the government again. Change your tactics. So having put a strain on the economy they are doing the right thing in easing the strain where it counts.

    “.. and all the names you called committed their malfeasance during the OSA reign.”

    Why don’t you stop with your damned lies?
    Was Sinckler Minister of Finance under OSA when $30 million disappeared from the foreign reserves? Was lying Stuart the PM? Did Jones threaten to crack heads and shoot people when he was MoE under OSA?

    Do you think a PM or president in a so-called first world country with a democratic form of governance could claim he or she witnessed criminal acts but failed to follow through with the threats of brining them to the attention and action of the law enforcement agencies?

    Are you saying that it is OK to lie?
    Are you condoning lying? We don’t want to hear what the BLP did or did not do? We want to hear what the current administration is doing or plans to do.

    Do you really feel that if Leroy Parris had done in the USA, Canada or UK what he did in Barbados he would be walking around a free man dead or alive?

    We are prepared to give Michael Lashley a free airline ticket for him to take a trip to the USA. Let us see him take up the offer.

    The Honourable Ronald Jones , I must called him Honourable not that I am feeling pleased to do so, is in need of some sort of attention. Mr. Jones should be looking to cultivate a level of tolerance and an environment of conflict resolution. His recent statements are dangerous for the example that is set by such mouthings. I want to urge Mr. Jones to reflect and re-think his approach. It is not setting the kind of example expected from a man who is addressed as The Honourable. Maybe the demons have a hold on this ‘gentleman’

    Hi Guys
    Forget the stupid political baseless arguments. Elections done and wash up. The Dems won again. The Bees lost again. Therefore, all BLP attackers let it rest and DLP guards walk away. ELECTIONS ARE NOT COMING AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. Do not wear yourselves out. Spend time dealing with your personal development rather than hurling vitriolic abuse at the politicians and each other. It looks so childish.

    @Lighthouse.
    My sentiments exactly. The disappointment is hard for them to swallow but it really is time for them to let go. they lost in 2008, they used the same argument when the DLP won, indicating that they did not even have material to run the government. They did it; despite losing their leader, then they won again in 2013, despite the type of campaign run by the BLP and the predictions of “their” polster. Why keep up with the same vitriol? Let the people settle down and let the country recover. Miller, Bushie, Just asking, Prodigal son; even David, go have some sea baths, relax in the son and if need be take some bush baths, for some of you need them. the people are not as anti DLP as you think or are hoping for. Relax and give thanks for the good country we have.The members of the government went to the same schools as you, they have the same qualifications as you and in essence have the same life experiences as you. Above all they love this country as much as or more than you do.

    @Curious,

    I believe you meant to say , ‘BLP members’

    But about the proposed ‘protest student march’ , reports indicate the entire exercise was a virtual flop and poorly attended by the ‘ supposedly financially hurting Barbadian UWI students’

    I guess the said ‘supposedly financially hurting Barbadian UWI students’ are quite aware of what their UWI counterparts in Trinidad and Jamaica have to pay towards their tuition. Therefore they realise , that though Barbadians students have to pay part of their tuition fees – it is nowhere as much as that of their other UWI counterparts.

    Another blow to BLP propaganda !

    Good morning David
    The good thing about BU is that it helps us all to understand why a blessed, compact, high- potential country like Barbados is going so quickly to the dogs….
    CANCER.
    The place has been infected by a scourge of brass bowlery which is quickly taking over everything and turning gold into brass.

    Without BU we would never guess that educated people could be such ( what did Rihanna call us again..?) female rabbits….?

    DAY AFTER DAY we get these semi-literates going on and on about BLP this and DLP that…. Wuh um is no wonder we end up with people like Fumble and company in charge…
    …and the more shiite we get, the more we see rational people retreating from public life, retreating from business, retreating from the damned place….. It is not hard to guess where the $300m forex has gone…. People running from the cancer…

    LOOK DAVID
    They may listen to you…. ( or at least you can ban the fcuking idiots)..

    -Tell them that we have LIFE AND DEATH decisions to make
    -Tell them that when the shit hits it will not discriminate between B and D
    -Tell them that even dogs will forget their petty quarrels and fight TOGETHER as a pack against external threats

    Man TELL them nuh!

    Obviously Fumble and company are WAY out of their depth.
    Obviously the BLP are equally incompetent, fractured and rudderless
    Obviously Sinckler is clueless
    …but obviously BAJANS were distrustful of Arthur with his VECO, Bannister and other dubious connections….

    WE HAVE WHAT WE HAVE….

    Can we at least behave like dogs and not like brass bowls- and try COLLECTIVELY working towards a COMMON way out of the mess?

    Here is BUSHIE’s new plan (since Caswell dissed BUP) 🙂

    Both the parties are the same shiite anyway….so
    Let us put together a new joint Cabinet of persons selected based on personal merit.
    We need the following:
    PM
    Deputy PM
    AG
    10 Ministers
    1 LOTO
    16 members

    RULES
    We give the MPs one month to make those appointments else we shut the whole fcuking place down until they ALL resign.

    If this is not done in one month all MP pension arrangements will be cancelled by the people’s revolution.

    All voting to be done in PUBLIC sessions with SECRET balloting by MPs

    At least we can begin by making the most of what we have…..

    But at the very least David….BAN ac nuh!!!! Shiite man!!! 🙂

    We like you imaginatively novel suggestion to help this country extricate itself from the current deficit position in proper leadership and management (on both sides of the political divide, in case you go off on a partisan tangent of interpretation).

    So why don’t you start the ball rolling and make some “interesting” recommendations especially in respect of the first two positions.
    We are optimistic many of your nominations would find wide favour with many here on BU.
    We await your invaluable list of possible candidates. Verbs are words of action. Will you prepare your list to start the ball for change rolling?

    Here is a little secret.
    There is no lack of “leadership” in Barbados. As you will come to find out, there exist world class leadership skills in Barbados.
    The actual problem is that the agenda has been hijacked by the brass bowls such that ‘north is seen as south’ and ‘east as west.’
    We therefore have NO TRUE UNDERSTANDING of what constitutes true leadership qualities…indeed ….right now such persons are likely to be locked up….

    @ Vincent
    The same goes to “education”.
    No ‘education’ goes on at Cave Hill ….or indeed at most modern university…who the hell would teach it…?

    Those fellows deal with LITERACY. …understanding basic concepts.
    …not education.
    EDUCATION is about preparing oneself for future success.
    That means that you would need to have a clear vision of that future; the requirements for success therein; the qualities needed to forge such success; and of the sacrifices required.
    What education what?!? …waste of damn money. That should be obvious from the RESULTS we are getting.

    , Where were you when the Constitutional Review Committee was having town hall meetings all over the country to recommend changes in our constitution? In case you forgot we operate under a Constitution. We operate under the rule of law. We operate under a particular form of government, and this can only be changed by constitutional means. In case you did not know in order to change the constitution, or anything in it, you have to have a two thirds vote of the sitting members of parliament. All you who are talking about changes form other parties, contest elections, win, and institute the changes you want. All this long talk about changes is just that;long talk., designed to confuse thos who do not know any better. You talk about education, educate the people about the legitimate and legal ways to institute change.Or you can do like Cuba, overthrow the government by violent and suffer the penalty imposed by the rest of the world you live in for years to come. Everyone in the world will be impacted by your actions and they will react whichever way they choose and you will have no say in it.Bettetr to accept what has happened, settle down, and try to live in a better country. your discontent, petulance, and behaving like a spoilt child does not make thingsbetter.

    So you take pleasure in referring to people on this blog who criticize not the system of laws but the application of the rule of law as spoilt and petulant little children?
    Why should intelligent people go along blindly with a system that daily violates the Constitutional rights of many poor people to a fair hearing in a timely manner before an unbiased court of law?

    Would you consider keeping people locked up for over 4 years before trial fair and reasonable and constitutionally acceptable?

    Do you think that it is constitutionally right for a government to be in total breach of court orders to settle the AL Barrack claim? Doesn’t he have rights too?

    What about those people whose properties have been compulsorily acquired for over 20 years ago and to this day have not been paid one red cent although the same Constitution dictates that they be duly compensated?

    Do you think it is constitutionally acceptable for the PM and AG the two most important executive positions appointed under the same Constitution to personally witness criminal acts being committed like voter fraud and marijuana smoking and fail to exercise their constitutionally bound duty of upholding the same rule of law you shamefacedly talked about?

    Now don’t come to us with that crap about it happened under OSA and the BLP so there is nothing wrong if it continues. It only makes you look more stupid than you ought to be.

    “Right now Bushie would go for Bostic as PM.
    Symmonds as Deputy
    Dr Estwick as AG
    Donville as MoF
    Kellman to be LOTO
    Mia – Sports”

    I like your refreshingly “outlier’ choice for PM. Although not surprised with your pick of the ‘regimental’ type in keeping with your rigid philosophy on human behaviour. I must admit he would make a no-nonsense minister in the new regime of administration this country urgently requires.

    What about Jones for Deputy PM as Bostic’s sidekick to carry out what the military is trained to do? LOL!!

    You should put Donville as DPM and Estwick as MoF.
    You can’t have either Estwick or Symmonds as AG. You just cannot have law breakers upholding the same law especially laws involving gun control and domestic violence.
    Symmonds could be Foreign Affairs & Foreign Trade and Investment.

    I am surprised that you have Mia in there or are you making bare sport in a tongue-in-cheek way dismissing her entirely as a jenny in a donkey derby?

    Bushie likes to give Jack his jacket
    Mia would have Barbados sports up and running in no time. She is exactly what is needed to fix the jokers currently blocking progress.

    Lawbreakers?
    So do you know politicians who are not lawbreakers? Better the devils you know than the ones you think are Gabriel 🙂
    Estwick as AG would piss all over those self important legal pieces of shit and probably put some licks in one or two too…
    Perfect choice….

    Donville is practical but too impulsive. However practical trumps!

    Of course if left to Bushie Agriculture would go to Senator the Hon Lowdown Hoad…. 🙂

    Do the ‘rest of things” also include racking up a debt of $200 million to the UWI while all along denying owing the UWI anything and questioning the validity of the debt?

    You have the habit of referring to people on the blog who do not kiss up to your DLP ass as childish and petulant. What then would you call the view you expressed summed up as follows?
    ‘Since the BLP did it we can do it too even if it means disregarding court orders, wasting taxpayers’ money and ministers involving themselves in kickbacks and corruption’.
