Can the two major political parties work together for the good of country?

Pure Confusion From her first day on the job the Leader of the Opposition had promised to raise hell in Barbados. On the day she was sworn in she had sworn that she would be “sparing no punches”. So indeed Ms. Mottley came out of her corner fighting. She indicated that, “the Opposition was prepared to let Government introduce its new programmes free from ‘advice’ from the BLP, but once it was divulged her team would voice its concerns.” This indicates that the Leader of the Opposition never had any intention to work with the Government to take this country forward. Now what is all of this talk about, “For love of Country”? Opposition Leader Mia Mottley has sought every opportunity to paint the worse picture of Barbados possible. One would recall her use of the term, “Economic Terrorism”, in her response to the Estimates debate on March 18th 2013.

Before the world and for ever recorded in the most prestigious record of a country’s history the Leader of the Opposition chose to make political mileage from an unfortunate incident which had occurred the day before involving visitors to the country. Whenever she gets an opportunity to speak she speaks of a Barbados filled with suffering people and on the brink of collapse. One must agree with our Honourable Prime Minister that the BLP led by Opposition Leader Mia Mottley is out of touch with reality. “The Barbados filled with suffering people and on the brink of collapse is a figment of the opposition BLP’s imagination.”

However after the BLP was thrown out what was left was a paltry US million or so dollars to serve and help to rebuild and restructure an economy that was destablise for lack of good goverance and in economic shock because of the global upheavel. So far MIA and her crew has maintained and sustained a stance that has not help but hurt.her offerings are destructive and are catered to the yardfowl menatliy of Doom and gloom.

    The job of the Opposition is to oppose and keep the Government on its toes. I find that Douglas wants Mia to join hands with the Government and run this country. That is not her job. How the hell do you expect her to help the Government do its job when she seem not to have a clue about her own job?

    Let’s face it, both Government and Opposition are doing a piss poor job. I believe the nonsense coming out of the Opposition is merely a show as they have no intention of displacing the DLP. Mia’s antics are merely a show for the gullible who would her halfhearted contribution to national debate.

    MB’s Capitalist Friends???
    If you had read and comprehended my rantings against the decisions and actions of US et al Politicians and the Wall St Financial types you would not waste your time placing MB in that Club.

    There is ABSOLUTELY NO PROOF that any other system but an INCENTIVE Based System works or can work. The Commies FAILED MISERABLY in Russia and China, the Socialists have FAILED in India and Europe. The USA has failed in recent years because they have turned Socialist and have NOT ensured proper Systems for Education, Health Care or other critical areas. The Irony of various attitudes of Govt Depts is as follows:

    The Food Stamp Program is distributing to 46 Million People now versus 17 MN just 6 yrs ago. Meanwhile, National Park Service states, “Please do NOT FEED the animals” Their stated reason for this policy is”The animals will grow DEPENDENT on handouts and will NOT learn to take care of themselves” Thus ends the lesson in Irony.

    The answer is to truly HELP people to help themselves by sensible Programs that assist people to develop themselves and rise above their predicament! I have NEVER suggested that the US (or Capitalism) is perfect.

    Just because MB is in the Money Business does NOT mean that I am in any way responsible for the Failure! It does NOT mean that I ASSOCIATE with those types either! I detest Financial and Political “leaders” who are RUINING the World!

    ac…………had the BLP retained power, they would have had to do the same thing……….2 billion is more than adequate at that time in 2008 with a population of 300,000 to keep the country afloat, problem is and you keep forgetting that the BLP was warned before 2008 to cut spending and the DLP would have known this before they assumed office and upon taking office were also warned by the same rating agencies to cut spending, neither of the idiots BLP or DLP listened, it was their arrogant belief that they were both untouchable as it pertained to an international recession, so we can safely say both the DLP and BLP screwed Barbados….both parties to be blamed and no one else, both need to leave the political landscape on the island, they are nothing but a waste of space, by the way ac how did the DLP manage to screw up the Rihanna show, looks like my relative is right, they can only successfully manage a cockup.

Hence, Commodity producing Countries like Canada, Australia, Brazil, Sth Africa et al will have less demand from China, the major importer of Commodities/ resources.

    The BLP can’t handle the DLP and considering their past (BLP) should just leave them alone or face consequences. The DLP seemingly does not know what in the hell they were doing. The BLP for certain did not know what in the hell they were doing. The DLP did indeed put an end to the Owen Arthur regrime, knocked him off his block. Arthur didn’t even see it coming. In Juanuary 2008 David Thompson was sworn in as Prime Minister and Arthur, he decided to step down as BLP leader and did. Mottley was then chosen as party leader but two years later, Arthur knocked her off the block. The Four BLP members in 2010 gave Arthur a vote of confidence and her Mottley NO CONFIDENCE. LOL

    I think the BLP has embarrassed themselves enough otherwise should pick their fights carefully.

    now fuh instance take WEll WELL and onions, they talking about 2,8billion dollars left in the coffers, Wud they don”t seem to realize that a big chunck of that money is borrowed which must be repaid with high interest. it is not as if the govt had “REAL MONEY”” that was free and clear of debt and was and handed over to country . Hell NO. that money coupled with look good on paper but when coupled with compound interest has put the country in big shite debt, and can’t do much in way of moving a country forward more often than not it contributes to burdening debt and stagnates the economy inflows keeping a country in economic doldrums for years to come and the beneficiares are the captalist who knew all too well how to entice and entrap through greed wheras these govt would always bite,
    Sustaining these economics are hard and all the long talk and especially those in opposition constant drumbeat of doom and gloom makes it even harder for these countries to relase themselves from these choke holds while they chip away at the spirit and national pride of a nation shaming all into beliving that our nation as a whole is not worth a damn. sending the wrong message to outsiders looking in and most important of all putting politics before country and the economic fragity of a nation in harms way…..those who choose that dastardly path would have alot to answer for if or ever this country should ever fail,. .

    i do not believe that it will be BLP to kick out this government but with each passing day i see the people of Barbados demanding that the DLP leaves. a country can only take so much, you can only push so far after that something’s got to give. the government can carry on foolishly as they are doing now but the day is fast coming when people will take to the streets and when it happens i don’t think it will be anything like the 1937 riots. we keep assuming that Barbadians are sheeple, docile and laid-back but that was the 19th and 20th century folks, we are a different generation and no longer believe that the best brains are running the country

    the above comment is a partial statement of a comment made by ac yesterday …..to further expand on the comment .i read today where the business community is sick and tired of the negativity coming from those who in my opinion belive that bad mouthing the country economy is justification to bringing barbnados out of the economic dreadlock. Not surprising to hear the business community speak out on this matter cause realistically when one back is in a corner the last thing one wants is for the members of the household to take big stick and beat on them. the business community by nowmight be feeling the negative effects of such criticism driven in part by the leadership of the BLP and the many yardfowls ! and articles via social media ! and radio and newspaper, There comes a time when one have to say enough is enough ,Nothing wrong with crticism ,however criticism is of such a destructive nature and an ongoing regurgitation is the tantamount to deliberate and purposeful assasination of a country and its economy .

    many have been saying for a long time that this political assination by the leadership of the BLP MIA MOTTLEY on the economy is poisionous and leaves a caustic effect on the business enviroment of the country. Being passionate about a cause or an issue does not mean destroying everything in the way, this woman eversince she was handed the leadership has wasted no expense at the price of a nation economy at being hostile in her approach almost to the point of callous in disapportionately sending messages of fear and doom which as time goes on errodes! clearly hampers and dampens not only the spirit of a nation but sends a dark cloud of suspicion over the nation economy as a whole,, This is a very dangerous and unforgiving tactic on her part .As one who speaks about patriotism , it seems as if MIA bones of patriotism has been buried or dried up for obvious political reason by putting country last and her goal to be PM first,, ABSOLUTELY DISTRESSING!

    ac……….for your information, governments have always had to do whatever it takes to keep economies afloat, nothing new, just admit the DLP were not prepared. Governments have always had to borrow, particularly if they import 90% of their food when they should be growing their own food, remember, food security, and they should also be manufacturing, where is the high production in Bim, ask the DLP why they did not initiate all that instead of spending over half billion dollars a year importing food………….

    As for Bizzy Williams et al, the negativity started when them and their ilk started bribing local government officials and hogging everything on the island, never giving anyone else on the island (particularly if you are black) an opportunity to prosper….they got the same politicians to stop their own people from doing business that would at least have stood a chance of expanding regionally and internationally, why? cause they are greedy and feel they should own every business in Barbados, while the population remains consumers. THAT IS NEGATIVITY. While Williams keeps going on about negativity he should tell bajans how much money him and his brother have contributed over the years to these two political parties both DLP and BLP and what favors they got and are still getting in return………

    Ask her if it was not the same Bizzy Williams who under wrote the cost of the event with his cheque for $ 150,000.00 to give her the money to put on the event

    Don’t come round the Barbadian public with those Crocodile Tears Bizzy, if you want to be a politician and be in politics say so and come to the people and offer yourself as a candidate or form a party and face the public and come thru their front doors not thru the back doors and pulling strings of politicians on your pay role and instruct these people like Mottley, do not continue to let Hallam Nicholls relieve you of your cash for a political mission.

    Bizzy and company are playing the game that has served them well for decades in Barbados, they FUND the negativity among the politicians, it’s called divide and conquer, the politicians don’t mind because their bribes are assured, both parties get to manipulate their individual political yardfowls, keep the electorate in line, and the minorities like Bizzy et al get to conduct their businesses in peace and become millionaires, no competition from the blacks, because the politicians are making sure the blacks can never move forward or progress financially on the island without a big fight from government, the blacks who do prosper have to be aligned with the government through familial contacts, lodges or whatever corrupt thing must be done to become part of the clique, the minorities make money off the majority black population and pretend, like now in the case of Bizzy, that they had nothing to do with manipulating the politicians and funding all the negativity in the first place……..BUT, none of them ever believed their chickens would come home to roost and all their nasty practices would be exposed, all the negativity that has been practiced for so many decades has successfully brought the island to it’s knees, maybe we should all be thanking the world recession, maybe now there will be a change for the better.

    ac……..don’t for a minute think that the DLP never took bribes from cow, bizzy, jada, simpson, ram or the other minorities on the island as well, not even you could be that foolish, or could you???

    Keep up the good work CBC – you are showing the Nation newspaper that even though it is a public station, it is giving the BLP opposition plenty of coverage which is healthy in a democracy despite whatever political side we support.
    On that note, seated in the front seat at the BLP conference in his red shirt was the chairman and boss of the Nation newspaper parent company Sir Fred Gollop, a former BLP senator. You now wonder why the Nation newspaper is so anti government in its columns and coverage. Connect the dots Barbados.

    Also present in the crowd at the BLP conference was former BHTA president Colin Jordan who when he was BHTA president used this position to publicly condemn Prime Minister Stuart for allegedly not responding to a request to meet with the BHTA.
    The Prime Minister’s office later produced the official acknowledgement and response which was sent to the BHTA.
    Now we learn that the same Colin Jordan is seeking the BLP nomination for the St. Peter Seat.
    It is said when people are coming to the public as part of national organizations pretending to be serving the interests of a sector when their only objective is to play politics.
    When Chris Sinckler said that Jordan was a BLP supporters, the media was quick to condemn him. Chris has been proven right.

    ___________________________________

    These prominent (in Barbados only) bajan white businessmen are clearly seeing themselves being pushed out eventually when the people on the island finally realize that they DO NOT need the minorities for their survival, the minorities (bizzy, seale, et al) don’t believe they have made enough millions off the backs of black people (the majority on the island) and they will try any and everything to keep the current DIVIDE going, that is what enriches them, that DIVIDE between the political parties and people on the island manifests the weakest link among the people……….now people are aware, let’s see if the black politicians from both political parties DLP/BLP allow it to continue to the detriment and beginning poverty of their own people.

    Has anybody asked the very pertinent question: were the shares of BS&T, now owned by Neal and Massey (wholly) paid for in U.S. dollars? If so where is the foreign currency? Where was it deposited? Do any Barbadian business owners deposit their money in offshore Tax Havens? How is it that the “rich Bajans” don’t seem to have any money to buy Barbadian businesses that are up for sale? Even if they did not buy Barbados National Bank shares, why couldn’t they buy out BS&T shares? These are the questions Bajans should be asking. Where is the Bajan money? How much foreign exchange is held by Bajan businesses in offshore businesses or subsidiaries?
